“All right. I’m going.” He turned away and moved to the door. “This time.”

“I liked you better when you would give me whatever I wanted,” she grumbled.

“No, you didn’t.”

Rude.

She didn’t bother locking the door. She was pretty sure that she wouldn’t have time to get to the door and back to the loo.

Sitting down, she sighed with relief as she ran his words over in her mind.

He’d never wanted a Little until her.

And it made her Little dance with happiness. She wanted to fully come out. To play. To ignore all of her Big worries for a while. And to let Jack protect and care for her.

And Ian.

Imagine the two of them together.

She cleaned up and took a moment to compose herself. Her Little had been on the surface for the last hour and she’d had an amazing time.

But she had to lock her back away. Protect herself.

“Baby? You all right in there?” he called out through the door.

“Yes. Coming!” She tested her hip and found she could walk without limping. Bonus.

Her T-shirt was still slightly wet from where he’d poured the water over her.

Jerk.

She couldn’t quite imagine Ian doing that. But then again . . . Jack was unique.

Jack walked them back through the toy store and she tried not to sigh longingly. She’d never allowed herself to buy any toys. She had Ziggy and that had to be enough.

But that made walking through this store a form of torture.

“Do you want to explore? Have a look at the toys?” he asked.

“No, thank you. Although I could look for something for Indie’s baby.” Hmm. Could she justify spending the money? It would be cool to bring her something back from here for bubs.

“Indie’s baby?”

“My best friend, remember? I was making a list of names for him or her.”

Jack nodded. “Jack’s at the top.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say the top,” she told him.

He put a hand to his chest and staggered as though he’d been shot. Maggie couldn’t help but giggle.

“Wounded. I’m wounded.”

“Stop! You’re so silly.” She grinned and grabbed his hand. “Come on.”

“I thought you wanted to look?”

“No. I think I better get back to Uncle Willy.”
