I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of rummaging in cabinets. I went to see where all the rucus is coming from and I find Maggie looking through the cabinets
"What are you doing?"
She jumped and looked behind her shoulder.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."
"It's ok."
"But what are you doing?"
"I don't think I can tell you dad."
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"No, I just don't think I can tell you."
"You can tell me anything love."
"I, well, uh, got my period, I'm just trying to find something I could use for it."
"Oh, I pretty sure your mother has some pads or something."
"And also, it kinda got all over my sheets."
"That's ok, we can clean it up."
We both look through the cabinet until she finally find a box of pads.
"I found some."
"Ok love, go put one on."
I was feeling a bit awkward, I've never really dealt with periods before. Pattie never tells me about her period and Maggie is my only daughter.
She came out of the loo and we go into her room. She turns the lights on the lifts the covers. There stood a huge red stain.
"I'm sorry dad."
"You're ok love, it's not your fault."
"Not just that, I mean I woke you up in the middle of the night, I know how you need your sleep."
"I don't care Maggie, I understand that you just got your period and it might be a bit scary for you."
Maggie rips off the sheets and we both go to the laundry room. She puts them in the washing machine and I start it.
We left the laundry room and walked our separate ways. As I was walking to my room I heard a huge "OW" behind me.
I look behind me and found Maggie on the floor in pain.
"Oh darling, what's wrong?"
"Cramp."
"I'm so sorry love."
I rub her side not knowing what to do. Until Pattie came running to Maggie in her bathrobe.
"What's going on, is Maggie ok."
"She's ok, she's just having a bad cramp."
"A cramp?"
"Oh, she just got her period."
"She got her period?!"
"Yeah, but don't worry we found some pads and got her all taken care of."
"Ok, I have a hot water bottle, I'll got get it for her."
I picked up Maggie and brought her to her room. I laid her down on her bed as she grabbed her stomach, I hated seeing her in pain.
"Ok, I got the water bottle."
She put it on Maggie's stomach as I stroked her hair.
"It's ok Maggie, the pain should go away soon."
"Ok mum, I love you."
"I love to you too Maggie."
I kissed he forehead.
"I love you too Maggie."
"Love you dad."
"Goodnight love."
"Goodnight dad."
