29. Ally

Ally colored in the highchair while Luke made dinner. When he had asked her what she was hungry for, she asked for chicken nuggets and fries. He grinned and nodded then told her he would also make some green beans that she had to eat, too. When she scrunched up her face, the look he gave her told her not to push it. She didn't like green beans. Not one bit.

When Luke held up a forkful of the vegetable, Ally shook her head. Luke tilted his head and waited patiently with the fork held up to her mouth. She shook her head again.

"No, thank you. I don't want those."

"Little girl, you need to eat your vegetables. Take a bite."

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she shook her head. "Don't want them."

Luke's eyes darkened as he continued to hold the fork up to her mouth. If she hadn't been so exhausted from the day, she probably would have realized that she wasn't making a good choice by telling him no.

"One," he counted.

Ally shook her head and pushed his hand away, harder than she meant to, causing green beans to fly from the fork and onto the floor.

"Ally Blake, you are in so much trouble."

Before she could argue, Luke removed the tray of her highchair and plucked her out of the seat. She tried to wiggle from his arms, but his grip was tight around her.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat them!"

"I know you'll eat them. But you will be eating them with a hot bottom, little girl."

Realizing he was going to spank her, she tried to squirm harder, only to be met with a hard swat on her bottom.

"I'm sorry, Daddy! I'll be good!"

Luke carried her to the couch and sat, setting her down to stand between his legs. His hands immediately went to the zipper of her pajamas and began unzipping them. She tried to block his hands, only to have him swat her bottom quickly, causing her hands to fly back in an attempt to shield it. He quickly unzipped her pajamas before she could reach for the zipper again. He pushed the pajamas off her shoulders, allowing them to fall to the floor.

"Lift your foot," Luke instructed, removing the footies from each foot as she obeyed his instruction.

Her bottom lip trembled, realizing she wasn't the one in control of this situation and she knew he would follow through with giving her a hot bottom.

"I'm sorry, Daddy."

Luke paused to look at her face. "Daddy told you that you had to have a vegetable, didn't he?"

She nodded, lowering her eyes from his. His hand cupped her chin and gently lifted her face until her eyes met his again.

"Use your words, little girl."

"Yes, Daddy. But I don't like…"

"It was a yes or no question, Ally. You don't get to decide what vegetables you do or don't eat."

His hands began moving again to remove her diaper. She whimpered when he pulled the diaper away from her and set it on the floor, leaving her completely naked in front of him.

"Tell Daddy why you are getting a spanking."

She moved nervously, dancing from foot to foot until he grabbed her wrists and held her in place. He waited patiently for her to answer. She realized she would not get away with not answering his questions.

"I refused to eat my vegetables."

"And?"

Ally looked confused for a moment, trying to remember what else she did to get a spanking. Luke answered her confusion.

"And you pushed my hand away, flinging green beans all over the place."

She cringed, remembering the green beans flying in the air in what felt like slow motion. Ally nodded, lowering her head.

"And I made the beans go all over the floor. I'm sorry, Daddy. I won't do it again."

Luke nodded. "Well, we will make sure of that, won't we? Over my lap, little girl."

She hesitated until Luke tugged on her hand, guiding her over his lap, staring at the plush carpet.

Shoot. She had a feeling she'd be in this position a lot with her Daddy. Not that she totally hated it.

The first smack landed on her bottom, and she instantly began to cry. The hot pain and the thought of disappointing her Daddy was too much to handle. Luke peppered her bottom with spanks, holding her tightly against him as her body squirmed and legs kicked. Tears streamed down her face as she cried loudly, apologizing repeatedly, and made promises to always eat her vegetables. The spanking felt like it lasted forever and then it suddenly stopped as quickly as it had started. Luke pulled her up to a sitting position in his lap.

She sobbed, feeling awful for ruining their night. Luke held her and rubbed her back, allowing her to cry in his arms for as long as she needed. He repeatedly whispered to her that it was over, and that she was forgiven as she calmed. Her cries turned to sniffles and hiccups until she actually felt quiet inside. Peaceful and happy and completely loved by him, even though she had been naughty.

"I'm sorry, Daddy," she said softly.

Luke kissed the top of her head. "I know, baby girl. But it's all over. You're still going to eat your green beans tonight, but you are completely forgiven."

He held her for a bit longer until she stopped sniffling and then put her back into her diaper and pajamas. He carried her back to the kitchen and placed her in her highchair, sliding the tray on to lock her in place. When he picked up the plate of green beans and put them in the microwave to warm them back up, she felt touched that he was so thoughtful. He wasn't going to make her eat them cold.

She couldn't help but squirm in her highchair, trying to find a comfortable way to sit on her sore bottom. She wasn't very successful with that, but she was thankful for the padding of her diaper because it helped so her bottom wasn't in direct contact with the seat. She ate the green beans he offered to her without argument, and he praised her with each bite she took. She didn't actually hate the taste of them and they were quite good with the seasonings he had put on them. Not that she would ever tell him that…

After dinner, Luke brought boxes of Christmas ornaments from the garage and set them by the tree. They agreed on a movie, and she began unwrapping all the ornaments while he wrapped the tree in lights. Seeing the sparkling bobbles up close again made Ally feel happy. She felt excitement with each ornament she unwrapped. She remembered the favorite ornaments that she had at her parents, and how every year her mom would save those for her to unwrap and place on the tree. She wanted to find them and put them on Luke's tree.

By the time they were done decorating the tree, Ally was exhausted and had wet her diaper. The glittery lights gleamed bright, bouncing color off the ornaments. Sitting on the floor next to Luke's feet as he stood arranging the lights, she wrapped her arms around his leg, squeezing him lovingly.

"It's sooooo pretty, Daddy. I love it so much."

Luke smiled down at her, his hand stroking the top of her head. Bending down, he swooped her up into his arms to kiss her.

"It is pretty, baby. Not nearly as pretty as you, though."

Ally blushed and hid her face in the crook of his neck. He always said the sweetest things that made her feel funny in her princess parts. Luke stood with her in his arms as they stared at the tree. She sucked on the pacifier he had clipped to her pajamas on a tether. It felt like the perfect scene out of a Christmas movie, except this scene was real and it made her feel a happiness she hadn't felt in years.

Sighing, Luke turned his face towards her. "I think it's time to get my baby girl to bed. We both have work tomorrow so you need extra rest, but then, since we are both off work until after Christmas, we will have lots of time to do festive stuff, okay?"

Nodding her head, Ally yawned in response and burst out giggling when he started tickling her.

"Daddyyyyy! You're so silly."

Chuckling, Luke carried her around as he began turning off lights throughout the house.

"You make me silly, Ally. You have awakened something in me that I thought I had lost."

Smiling softly, Ally held his face between her hands and kissed him. She wouldn't normally be so forward, but she couldn't help herself. He had become her Daddy and he made her feel things that she never thought she would experience, both emotional and physical. She actually felt whole again.

The next morning, Luke took her to work, reminding her to ask permission to use the potty throughout the day. He had put her in a thin pull up when he got her dressed and told her it was to remind her that she was still his Little girl even when she was at work. She nodded, biting her bottom lip nervously. She didn't want to forget to ask and get in trouble. He reassured her that if he didn't respond in time that she could go to the bathroom. As she walked around without a thick diaper, it felt strange. She actually missed the feeling of the bulky material between her thighs.

Her day went on like a regular day at the diner. Ally visited with her regulars as she normally did. She loved the people of this small town and was thankful she had grown up in such a wonderful place. A pair of her elderly regulars, George and Louise, who came in several times a week, were having lunch. Ally knew their order by heart, but they always wanted to see the menu.

Louise studied her as she stood at their table ready to take their order. "Ally, dear, you look different."

Ally tilted her head in confusion. She was wearing the same work clothes she always wore, with her ponytail to keep her hair out of her face.

"You look happy or… something," Louise finished, searching for her words.

Grinning at the old woman, Ally reached down and hugged her.

"Thank you, Louise. I am happy. I'm really happy."

Ally jumped when she heard Luke clear his throat from behind her. She spun around to find him smiling down at her, holding a large stuffed bunny rabbit. She grinned when he held the stuffy out for her.

"Hiiii!"

"Hi, sweet girl. I thought you could use another friend."

Squeezing the soft stuffy to her chest, Ally looked up to meet Luke's eyes. She felt wetness in her own eyes and hoped he knew how much his thoughtfulness meant to her. He smiled and nodded as though he understood.

"That must be who's making our Ally so happy, George. I think a man like that would make me happy, too," Louise said in the background, laughing.

Louise had a naughty mind, often commenting about the good-looking younger men in town. George was so used to her antics, he didn't even respond. Luke chuckled and put his arm around Ally's shoulders.

Leaning down to her ear, he whispered, "I sure hope I'm making you happy."

Ally nodded her head, trying to stop the happy tears from falling down her cheeks.

"You make me very happy, Daddy," she whispered back.

Squeezing her against him, Luke kissed the top of her head.

"I gotta go. I just wanted to stop and see you while I had a spare moment. I will see you in a few hours."

Ally nodded and blushed as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
