Luke smiles at the happy little girl, who- thank god- got enough sleep last night.

"What do you wanna wear today, princess? We're going somewhere special, so make it nice." He says as he pulls her out of the crib.

"Daddy." She tugs on his shirt.

"No, not today. Sorry babydoll. Go pick a dress or a skirt or something." Luke chuckles as she pouts but goes over to the closet.

She hums something Luke was listening to in the car the other day and Luke chuckles as he recognizes the song as the Judge by twenty one pilots.

"Daddy!" She giggles as she tugs on a dress, and Luke gets it down for her, smiling a the cute brown dress she's picked out.

He puts a white Tshirt on her and the dress over it, with knee high white leggings and black converse.

Today, the two have to go back to the place where Luke had first gotten Delilah, for a check up session and a bit of a training course.

It is technically required if you bought from them, considering they wanted to make sure subs aren't being abused or getting sick or anything, but not many actually went, and there isn't very strong enforcement.

However, when Luke gets a call that he is due to come in, he figures it'd be better to do so, as it would be beneficial, and if you don't come in they'll put you on a red flag list, making it difficult to ever buy or receive their help again, on anything. Not that Luke is planning on ever needing to buy another sub, but he would like to be able to turn to the huge company for doctors visits, etc. as that particularly company runs a large part of ageplay businesses.

However, Luke is unsure how Delilah will react to being brought back to the building. He can't help but wonder if she'll be scared he i returning her.

These were the times he wishes he had firm communication with the poor girl.

All he can dwell on while he's making Delilahs travel bag- probably overpacking, but he wants to make sure she has everything she might need throughout the long day- is how Delilah will behave today, if she'll be scared or a brat or throw a fit or sob or what.

"Daddy! Nums!" Delilah yells as she runs into the kitchen.

"Hmm. How about this." Luke smiles as he lays down a plate of chocolate chip pancakes.

Delilah grins and digs in happily.

Once she's done, Luke is still packing her bag, making sure everything is there and adding some last minute things.

She tries to recite all the words she knows as Luke listens carefully.

"Daddy, momo, fox, boo, po-p-"

"Potty." Luke reminds, wondering why she always forgets that one,

"Potty, Uckles, bug bye, num nums, boo, baba..." she hums, searching for more words, not realizing she's repeating words.

"Is that it?" Luke asks.

The little girl thins for a second, before- "PEAS!"

"Good girl." Luke chuckles.

"How about thankyou?"

The little girl looks on bewilederly.

"Say thankyou."

"Akoo."

"Good enough." Luke chuckles.

"Please and thankyou."

"Pees akoo."

"Good girl. How about... hmm.. can you say... love you?"

"U-"

"Love you."

"Uvoo."

"Good girl. Daddy loves you."

"Uvoo!"

"Love you." Luke kisses her cheek.

"Uvoo!"

"Daddy loves Delilah."

"Daddy uvoo Delilah." Delilah repeats. "Delilah uvoo daddy." She giggles, and the words put an inexplicably warm feeling in Luke's chest, even if he's pretty sure she doesn't understand what she's saying.

"Uvoo! Uvoo uvoo Uvooooooo!" Delilah yells as Luke tries to shush her.

"Indoor voice! Inside voice Delilah! Shhhh!" He scolds. She giggles and quiets down, whispering the chant instead, and Luke smiles and pecks her lips.

"Alright. Let's put on our shoes and get in the car cutie pie." Luke nudges the girl forward until she's at the door and begins putting on his shoes, so the little girl shoves her feet into her shoes and waits for her daddy to tie the laces, and once he has, she hurried excitedly to the car.

"Daddy!" She reaches forward to Luke from the car seat she's in.

"Hm baby? You want daddy's phone?"

"Daddy!"

"Say please." Luke bargains, looking at her in the rear view mirror.

"Pees dada!"

"Good girl." He unlocks the device and hands it back and she begins playing.

"Now say thankyou Delilah."

She looks at him and raises an eyebrow. "Say thankyou."

"Akoo." She smiles before going back to playing.

"Daddy!" Delilah calls halfway through the hour long drive.

"Yes babydoll?"

"Nums?" She asks, then "pees."

Luke keeps his eyes on the road and reaches to the other seat to grab out a snack bag of graham crackers, passing them back to the raven haired girl who giggles and smiles as she opens the bag.

"Say thankyou." Luke reminds, hoping it'll help her get the idea of what the word means.

"Akoo!"

Luke listens to the music playing on the radio, sometimes singing along, which always makes the little girl in the backseat stop what she's doing and listen and watch intently, enjoying the blondes voice.

"Boo!" Delilah calls and reaches for her bag.

"What, babygirl?"

"Boo peas!"

"I don't know what you want."

"Boo!"

"Ohhh, do you wanna color, princess? Can you say color?"

"No."

"Say color, Delilah."

"Co-cooooo." She tries. "Co." She seems to decide on the abbreviation and Luke just chuckles.

"Okay, baby. One second."

"Co peas!"

"Wait, let daddy pull over." Luke pulls well onto the shoulder before grabbing her bag and getting the coloring books and crayons out, passing them back to the happy little one, along with some juice.

"Show me your blue crayon." Luke orders as he turns to look at the little girl. "Blue."

She digs through the cloth bag Luke had put the crayons in until she finds the blue one and holds it up.

"Boo, daddy!"

"Yes, good girl." He smiles. The little one giggles before taking a sip of juice and beginning to color.

When the two arrive at the building and Luke takes the little one out of the backseat, it takes her a moment to take in her surroundings and realize where she is, as she was too busy cuddling her daddy, but when she does, she immediately starts crying.

"No! Daddy no! Pees! Pees! Daddy!" She sobs as she bangs ok Luke's chest.

"Shhh, baby. It's ok, you're ok, babygirl." Luke tries to reassure and keep her flailing body from falling.

"Daddy pees!" She sobs. Luke sets her on the ground so he won't drop her and she attempts to crawl back in the car, but Luke grabs her arms and gently holds her in front of him as he bends down to her eye level.

"No, daddy!" She sobs. "Delilah daddy!"

"Yes, Delilah is staying with daddy, ok? Daddy loves you baby, calm down." Luke kisses the pale little ones red cheeks.

Delilah throws her arms around Luke's neck and sobs into him and Luke sighs as he stands up and looks around the parking lot, slightly relieved to see another pair seeming to have the same problem, a little boy and female dominant, with the woman attempting to calm the little boy and lead him towards the building as he tries to pull back to the car they seem to have come from.

Luke bounces and rocks the crying little girl on his hip, deciding not to go in until she's calmed down some. They have plenty of time, considering Luke left an hour early just incase something went wrong.

"Daddy peas." She whimpers.

"Daddy is right here, I'm not going anywhere princess." Luke assures the raven haired girl, glad she's calming down.

But as soon as Luke grabs her bag and begins walking towards the building, she starts sobbing and thrashing again.

After repeating the cycle a few more times, Luke just continues into the building, hugging the little one tight.

As soon as theyre in the building, Luke sits down with Delilah in his lap and rubs her back.

"Look, princess, you want momo? Or your fox?"

"Momo." She mumbles through her tears, grabbing onto it.

"D-daddy." She whimpers. "Delilah Daddy."

"Mhm. Delilah is staying with daddy." Luke reassures.

Delilah nods and calms down a bit, but still looks panicky as she glances around the large and slightly crowded building.

"Okay baby, it's almost time for your checkup, lets go." Luke says as he stands and begins walking to the room the email he'd received directed him to.

He waited in the waiting room of the doctors office like branch of the building until the two were called.

Delilah refused to let her daddy put her down the whole time, as a nurse led them to a smaller room.

Finally Luke made her release her grip around his neck as they checked her height and weight.

"She's a bit underweight, nothing too serious, just make sure she's eating." The nurse smiled at Luke, who nodded.

"Course."

"Now were gonna check your blood pressure." She smiles at Delilah who sits on the table nervously.

"Can I have your arm?"

"She doesn't speak much English. I'm not sure what language she does speak, but she's learning English." Luke explain when Delilah just looks at the nurse with a raised eyebrow and a tilted head.

"Ah, okay." She goes t take Delilahs arm but Delilah yanks back and looks to Luke for reassurance.

Luke smiles at her and steps forward, holding her other hand. "It's ok babygirl."

He grabs her other arm and extends it so the nurse can wrap the think around her arm as Delilah watches in curiosity, trusting that the blonde man wouldn't let the strange woman do anything that would hurt her.

She whines as it tightens, but remains still.

When the doctor checks her heart beat, she whines and wiggles away from the cold stethoscope, and she cries and clings to Luke when he takes a blood sample, not understanding why her daddy is letting them hurt her, but behaving none the less.

"She seems all healthy. She's slightly anemic, not anything serious, just make sure she's eating things with enough iron. If it gets any worse I'd put her on iron pills, but I'm assuming she wouldn't like that very much, so try to just keep it on her diet. Other than that I think you guys are good to go." The doctor smiles after countless amounts of questions about diet and behavior and whatnot, that Delilah struggles to sit patiently and behave through.

"Say thankyou to the doctor Delilah. Say thankyou." Luke encourages as he smiles down at the cute little girl, making the nurse and doctor look at he as well.

"Ankoo."

"Aww." The two unfamiliar adults coo.

"You're very welcome, sweetie. You two have a nice rest of your day!"

Delilah is relieved when Luke finally carries her away from the place.

But to Delilahs dismay, as soon as the two are released from that long boring thing, daddy takes them right to another, where she and a bunch of other people who she notices seem to be in the same position as her, who just have to sit on their big persons lap and are expected to behave themselves while their adults seem so enthralled in whatever other stupid adults are talking about, one specifically standing at the front of the room doing all the talking.

Delilah wonders what makes him so special that everyone is supposed to sit down and listen to whatever he has to say, and ask questions and expect an answer. He must be important. Their leader.

She giggles to herself at the thought and Luke raises an eyebrow at the little girl wiggling about boredly in his lap and all her giggling and grinning and raised eyebrows and more giggling to herself.

"Daddy." She whines loudly, looking up at Luke, after she can no longer entertain her self with silly thoughts.

"Shhh." Luke hisses, frowning at her, making her pout.

A few adults look over amusedly, and so do a few littles.

"Da-" his hand covers her mouth and she whines through it as Luke reaches down to retrieve a dummy from  her bag, but she shuts her lips when he tries to put it in them.

Luke sighs and reaches for a bottle instead, which, at first, she happily drinks, but as soon as she realizes it's cold, she pushes t away.

"No!"

Luke glares this time, putting his hand over her mouth again.

"Be quiet little girl." He whispers. "Be good."

She whines again making him lightly slap her mouth, so she shuts up, just pouting at the blonde.

Luke chuckles at her adorable drawn eyebrows and puckered lip, kissing her forehead and handing her momo before paying his sole attention to the speaker again.

Momo only keeps the little one interested for a speedy few minutes before she's whining quietly again, so Luke caves in and hands over his phone, which he knows will keep her entertained for pretty much as long as he wants, he just doesn't want her getting addicted or used to being able to play on his phone whenever.

"Daddy!" She whispers, trying to be quiet, but is actually pretty loud. Luke decides it's better than her previous loud whining so he doesn't scold her.

"Hmm?" He whispers back.

"Num nums!"

Luke grabs her another bag of snacks, this time it's a small bag of m n ms, since she's behaving so well, and gold fish.

"Daddy! Num nums."

"We'll have lunch after this is over babydoll." Luke assures, making Delilah pout, but she remains patient.

It's another 20 minutes before the training slash q/a is over, and the two get a late lunch.

Luke has to go through an interview, that normally Delilah would have to go through too, except she didn't speak English, so instead the interviewer briefly checked her tummy for bruises and checked her behavior for any scaredness (beyond normal shyness) and for any flinching, or acting scared of Luke.

After deciding Delilah felt much more comfortable with Luke than her, and Luke didn't seem like someone who would abuse her, and Delilah doesn't act abused, the two were finally allowed to leave.

Delilah sighed in relief when Luke put her back in the car, but Luke refused to let her fall asleep, knowing if she did he wouldn't get her to bed tonight.

It was already 6, they wouldn't arrive home until 7. Luke decides to get dinner at a small diner, making them arrive home at 8 instead.

Luke carries the sleepy girl upstairs.

"Bedtime, princess." Luke smiles tiredly at her.

"Noooo." She whines, bratty now that she's so tired.

"You wanna sleep with daddy, cutie pie?"

"Es dada. Peas." She mumbles. Luke changes the whiny girl into pjs and then strips to his boxers, brushes the twos teeth, and makes sure to grab babygirls stuffies before the two go to bed.
