Hannibal

The last thing I remember was sleeping in my bed and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the back of a car.
There was straps holding me down over my chest and I was confused. There was a man in the front seat. Noticing my struggle, he turned to look at me. He was on the passenger side while another man was driving.
"Hey, darling." He had a nice, welcoming smile and a thick irish accent.
"Who are you?" I asked quietly.
"Oh, sweets. I'm Hannibal, but you can call me daddy."
"D-daddy?" I didn't understand.
"Yeah. That's right." He had a proud look on his face.
His smile was something nice. He looked stunning actually. I wanted him to never stop smiling.
"Hannibal is a funny name." I said as I looked at him.
"Yeah it is pretty silly." He smirked.
"Why do I have to call you daddy?"
"Well I'm your new daddy of course."
"Did you kidnap me?" I felt a little scared.
"She asks a lot of questions." The other man said.
"Why'd you take me?"
"It's what you wanted." Hannibal said.
"I. I. How did you?"
"We took you in your sleep, left a note for your family. You slept like a little babe."
I blushed at the comment.
"You ready to go to your new home?"
"Where are we?"
"We're about twenty five minutes from home."
"Where is home?"
"A little town in Illinois. But far from your old home."
"Who's driving?"
"A friend." I didn't like that he wasn't giving straightforward answers.
"I need to use the bathroom."
"Go ahead and use your nappy then."
"Nappy?" I looked down and noticed a bulge between my legs. I poked it out of curiosity and saw that it was indeed a nappy.
I hadn't noticed it before.
"Use it. It's fine." The man attempted to assure me.
I squirmed and tried to pull at the straps over my chest.
"Hey. Calm down, sweetie."
I looked out the window and was saddened when I felt a small spirt come out of me.
"It's okay. We can get you a change as soon as we get home."
I let some tears go as I released my bladder.
"It's okay, baby girl."
I just continued to cry until I tired myself out.

-

When I woke up I was being carried into a large home.
The man, Hannibal, my brain provided.
"Hey sweetums."
"Where are we?"
"We're home, darling."
I decided to stay quiet and see where this went.
The man was very strong and I actually felt safe in his arms.
When we entered the house a grown adult in just a nappy ran towards us.
"Daddy is this my new sis'r?" He definitely didn't sound like an adult.
"Yeah, buddy. This is Penelope."
"Hi, palelopee!"
Hannibal laughed and said, "Say hi to your brother, Pen."
I felt weird, but also welcomed.
I blushed and waved to the guy.
"So sweet. It's okay to be nervous." Hannibal said.
A woman walked into the room and said, "This little nugget has been so excited this morning." She smiled at the guy.
"I's uhcited to see Palelopee."
Hannibal smiled the same inviting way he did in the car.
"Can you watch Frankie for another second so I can go change Pen?" Hannibal asked the lady.
"Yeah. No problem."
The man walked upstairs and to a bedroom with a pale pink door.
It looked welcoming and so nice and I wanted to lay in the crib. It was a dark brown wood with a pink trim. It was beautiful.
"Do you like your room?" I felt overwhelmed at the beautiful site and wanted to cry again. And so I did.
The man just laid me down and started to undo my pants
I blushed as he began untaping the nappy.
"It's okay." He bent down and kissed my forehead.
It was calming and nice.
He reached up above me a grabbed a toy panda off the shelf.
He put it in my arms and I rubbed it against my face. It was so soft. I wanted to keep it forever.
I was clean a few minutes later and my pants were kept off.
He picked me back up and held me.
"Let's go back downstairs before we're missed."
I still chose not to say anything and just let the man carry me to the other people.
"Daddy! I made some art for you!"
Frankie gave Hannibal the picture he made.
I looked at the picture and saw that there was a girl in pink with long brown hair. Above the head it said Penelope. There was a guy standing to the right that said Daddy above his head and another guy in baby blue that said me above his head.
"Is this us?" Hannibal asked.
"Yeah it's me and you and nelopee!"
"It's beautiful, Frankie."
The woman came into the room and said, "Alright. I'm going home."
"Thanks, Hannah." Hannibal cane forward and hugged the woman.
"No problem. Call me if you need me." She smiled. "Bye Frankie, bye Penny."
I smiled at the nickname and waved to her.
"You guys wanna go play?"
"Hungry." I said.
"Okay. We can get a snack. Dinner isn't for another hour."
"Can we have d'itos?" Frankie asked.
"Doritos?" Theo questioned.
"Yeah!"
I didn't really mind what I was eating.
The man went to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"See anything you want, honey?"
I pointed to a yogurt.
"Okay." Hannibal smiled and grabbed one. He took the stuffed panda from my arms and set it on the counter. "You can have that back in a little bit." He promised as he looked back at Frankie. "Okay now let's get some doritos!"
Hannibal grabbed a bag from a cabinet and set me in a chair that looked like a highchair.
"Come on, Frankie." He held his arms out.
He lifted the boy up then looked back at me.
He set Frankie down in a highchair next to me and kissed his head.
He put a tray on each one of the chairs and poured some doritos for Frankie.
He grabbed a chair from the table and set it in front of me.
He opened the yogurt and grabbed a spoon for a drawer.
He put the spoon in and put it in front of me.
"I know you're not used to this yet so you can feed yourself this time."
I picked up the spoon and put some into my mouth. The taste was good and I smiled.
"Thank you."
"No problem, little lady."
"Thank you for the ditos, daddy!"
"No problem, munchkin."
I stopped eating. I was just at home only a little bit ago and now I'm in a different place.
"Are you alright, Pen?" Hannibal's voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"I'm okay." I lied.
"You can say what's on your mind, baby."
"I. I wanted this, but now I'm scared."
"You can call your family before bedtime if you'd like."
"You'd really let me?"
"Yeah. Of course you can, sweetie."
"I callded my sissy lots when I first gotted here." Frankie said. "I like writing her letters too cause daddy let's me put nanimal stickers on them."
I just smiled. I didn't know what to say.
A second later Hannibal said, "Eat your food. Then we can go play."
"Can we play outside?" Frankie asked.
"I'll think about it."
We both finished our food then Hannibal took us both to clean up.
He made sure Frankie washed his hands and he helped me wash mine.
He took us to the backyard and I suddenly didn't know what to do.
Hannibal was holding me and I just wanted to stay in his arms.
"I don't want to play." I said quietly.
"That's okay. You and I can sit in the gazebo and if you change your mind you can go play."
Hannibal brought us to the gazebo and sat down.
The chair was leaned back just slightly and he held me in his arms as he sat and watched Frankie.
I moved around a little until I was comfortable. I placed my head on Hannibal's chest and closed my eyes.
I felt a kiss being placed on my head.
I opened my eyes and looked up.
"What's up, sleepy head?" He asked me.
I shrugged and closed my eyes again.
He stated to rub my back and I started to fall asleep. It was nice and comforting.
That was until Frankie ran over to the gazebo and shouted.
"Nelopee! Come play with me!"
He frightened me and I didn't want to play.
"Hey its okay. You don't have to play if you don't want."
I started to tear up again.
"I sorry, Nelopee." Frankie looked sad.
"It's alright, kiddo." He held his arm open for Frankie. "Pen just isn't ready to play quite yet."
Frankie hugged Hannibal and put his other arm around me.
"I'm really sorry, Nelopee."
"It's okay." I rubbed my eye.
Hannibal looked at his watch then said, "Why don't we go make some dinner?"
"Can we make pizzas?" Frankie asked.
"We'll have to see if we have the stuff for it." Hannibal stood up and carried me into the house. We went to a living room type area.
I was set into a playpen and I didn't want to be inside it.
My lip wobbled again.
"Don't worry, baby. I'll be back before you know it."
Frankie followed him out of the room.
Hannibal left and it looked like he was heading to a far away room.
I didn't want to be left alone.
I looked at the are surrounding me and saw that there was a toy piano and a ring toss sort of game.
I touched a key on the keyboard and it oinked at me.
I giggled and pressed more buttons. The sounds were all sorts of animals. I liked the toy.
I don't know how long I was alone, but Frankie ran into the room as he was being chased by Hannibal.
"Daddy! No!" Frankie was laughing as Hannibal ran over and tickled him.
I smiled at the pair.
"Does Penny want some tickles too?"
Before I had the chance to say a thing, I was being lifted out of the play pen and being tickled.
Frankie joined in too and I was giggling.
"Stop!" I said through a fit filled laughter.
Frankie stopped, but continued giggling.
Hannibal tickled me one last time and I continued giggling.
"Alright. You guys ready to make some pizzas?" He asked.
"Yeah! Pizzas!" Frankie said.
Hannibal walked into the kitchen which was a couple rooms away and set me in the high chair.
Frankie was set in the other chair beside me.
I was feeling tired and I didn't feel like making pizzas.
Hannibal set a small pizza in front of me that had a bit of sauce in the middle. He set one in front of Frankie.
I watched as Frankie smashed the sauce with both hands.
Hannibal gently grabbed my hand and put it in the sauce.
It was cold and I didn't know what to do.
He helped me move it around the pizza.
"Cheese daddy! We need a cheese!"
Hannibal just smiled and grabbed the cheese from the counter.
He told Frankie to hold out his hands.
He did as he was told and held the cheese before spreading it on his pizza.
Hannibal told me to do the same. I held my hands out and did the same as Frankie.
"Good job, guys."
"Peppawoni too daddy?"
"Yeah of course." He grabbed some places and gave them to Frankie.
"Do you want pepperoni, Pen?"
I shook my head no.
"Okay. Anything else we need?"
"We gotta cook it!"
"You're right. Okay. Let me have your beautiful pizzas." Hannibal said as he opened the oven and put the pizzas in.
"Can I have some juice, daddy? Please."
"Yes, sir. You can have whatever you want cause you asked so nicely."
Frankie smiled at that.
"Can- can I have a drink?"
"Sure, little lady. What would you like?"
"Juice, please."
"Yes, ma'am. And thank you for using your manners."
I smiled and waited for some juice.
We were both handed sippy cups.
I held mine and watched Frankie as he drank the juice.
I lifted the cup to my lips and drank some.
"Daddy. When is papa gonna be home?" Frankie asked.
I spotted drinking the juice.
"Papa?" I asked.
"Your papa will be home tonight, but long after you've both gone to bed." Hannibal smiled.
"Okay." Frankie sounded disappointed.

-

Frankie was put to bed before me and I was being laid onto the changing table. I had used my diaper and hadn't even realised it.
"Papa should be home in about an hour. He's very excited to meet you." Hannibal said as he lifted me back up and put me into a calming yellow colored onesie. It said 'Daddy's girl' in pink letters.
He lifted me up and lowered the bar of the crib. He set me inside then raised the bar back up.
"Do you need anything else?"
"Panda." I said.
"I'll be right back. Okay?"
"Okay."
Hannibal left the room and I was left alone for the second time that day. I was getting nervous that he might not return.
I watched the door, but I was getting tired.
Hannibal came back and there was someone trailing after him.
"Hey, baby girl. I got your panda." He said.
I held out my arm for it.
He gave me the panda and I stared up at the other man.
"This is your papa." Hannibal said and pulled the other man over.
He was handsome and had very short hair, unlike Hannibal.
"Hi." He had a big smile. "My name is Theo, but I'm gonna be your papa." His voice was so gentle that I just reached up.
He looked so happy. He lowered the bar of the crib and lifted me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face into the space between my arms and his neck.
I felt a hand rub my back and everything just felt nice.
Theo kissed my head then laid me into the crib.
I didn't want to go to sleep and for all of this to be a dream.
"Sleep tight, baby." Theo said.
"Goodnight, darling." Hannibal said.
