What if it’s a trick and Daddy wants me to look so he can place me down again? No. I’m not going to fall for it.
“Did you just come from Julan’s?” Daddy asks.
Who is Julan? Is that the other man who bought Luna?
“A while ago, yes. Julan and his girl are doing well. There is going to be a learning curve, especially with his girl and her feistiness. How has she been doing?” Yamal turns back to Daddy.
I move my head back slightly and open my eyes to see Yamal. He is unfolding a table in the middle of the room. It’s stainless steel, and I shiver in Daddy’s arms. It looks so cold.
“Will she get used to the temperature on Venkoria?” Daddy asks, not answering his question. “She has been chilly since we got here. Even more when we are outside.”
“Humans seem to run at a lower temperature than we do. Make sure to keep her clothed or close to you at all times if you keep your house at this temperature. If you don’t want her to wear clothes, turn up the heat,” Yamal explains. “I don’t know anything about them, but we don’t want her to get sick.”
I don’t want to get sick again. I’ve only gotten sick two times on the space station, but each time it was pretty bad. I never want to experience it again.
“Place her on the table and I will start her check-up.” Yamal pats the hard table.
I hold onto Daddy even tighter, not wanting him to put me anywhere. Does he not understand that?
“Has she been experiencing any heaviness of the body? Hard time keeping her head or limbs up?” Yamal asks as Daddy attempts to put me on the table.
But I don’t let him. My arms and legs are tightly wrapped around him. Doesn’t he want me close to him?
“Has she been this clingy to you?” Yamal looks at me with his head tilted.
“Yes, she has been. Every single time I’ve tried putting her anywhere, she always whimpers and wants me close to her. I’m not complaining, I want her close to me right now,” Daddy explains. “Is that normal?”
Yamal shrugs. “It could be because of what we injected her with, but it could also be because she is in a new environment and doesn’t know anyone but you. There are a lot of factors itcould be. You could also be the only thing warming her since she is only wearing a diaper.”
I shudder at the thought of the diaper on me. I had completely forgotten it was around me. Thankfully, I haven’t actually used it and won’t have to.
“Has she gone to the bathroom? Is that why you have put her in one?” Yamal asks as he touches my bottom.
I jerk and push myself closer to Daddy. What is Yamal doing? Why is he touching my bottom?
“When I got her, she was sitting in a puddle of her own pee.” Daddy runs his hand up and down my back, trying to calm me down. “I changed her, but I couldn’t put her other clothes on since they were soaked. So I put them in the bin for incineration.”
I pull away from Daddy and stare at him with my mouth hanging open. He burned my clothes? Those were the only things I had with me. What does he expect me to wear while I’m here?
“I also don’t want her in anything, so it helped,” Daddy smiles at me.
Actually smiles.
Annoyance runs through. He doesn’t want me to wear anything. Has he lost his mind?
“Julan has his girl roaming around naked in his house,” Yamal offers the piece of information.
“Without a diaper?” Daddy asks.
“I don’t know about that, but he didn’t have any clothes on her when I was there.” Yamal chuckles. “She was not happy about that, but he paid for her, and he can do whatever he wants.”
Even though Daddy paid for me, it doesn’t mean he can do whatever he likes. I won’t be like that. He won’t be able to getaway with doing that. I am a human being who can take care of myself. I don’t need someone else to do it.
“Have you fed her a bottle yet?”
Fed mea bottle? What is he talking about?
“Not yet. We just got back and had a little incident,” Daddy holds me closer as I remember everything that happened.
