Adult Blogger: CAPTAINSTABBIN CAPTAIN STABBIN think Dafydd will want to examine you. As he said, he's your doctor as well as your father."
Lisa bit her lip, nodding. "I think I expected that. Would you go down and ask him to come up. If he's going to examine me, it seems silly to dress."
"I'll send him straight up."
Downstairs, Mike and Dafydd were just finishing setting the table. "Dafydd? Would you go up and see Lisa, please. She's waiting for you in the spare room. Dafydd? Take your bag."
Dafydd nodded and went out to his buggy, returning in moments with his doctor's bag. He gave an absent smile to Louise and Mike and went upstairs. Mike turned to Louise.
"What did Doc say? Did he guess? He had to have, he gave Lisa some rubbers." Mike's expression was anxious.
"Relax, Mike. He's fine with it. He just wants to be sure Lisa is all right. As he said, he's her doctor as well as her father. Come on, give me a hand. We can have the food on the table for them coming down."
A few minutes later, Lisa and Dafydd came downstairs arm-in-arm, smiling cheerfully. Lisa went straight over to Mike and took his hand. Dafydd coughed and cleared his throat.
"Mike, it's a difficult moment for a father to accept that his little girl is now a woman. My daughter tells me that you helped her make that transition, with gentleness and love. I thank you for that."
