Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 18

Michael's P.O.V.

Why was she crying? Did she not want to see me? Was she annoyed that I didn't call or send a text? Is she mad at me?

My thoughts were cut off when she weakly ran over to me collapsing in my arms. "Da-Daddyyyy..." she cried harder as she gripped my shirt tightly.

I held her close just loving the way she felt in my arms. I missed her so much. I missed her soft chocolate skin and her thick silky hair. I kissed her forehead and ran my fingers through her hair.

She continued to cry and started to wheeze. I rubbed her back and spoke softly. "Shh...baby calm down...deep breaths....good girl." He breathing eventually went back to normal but the tears continued to fall freely from her eyes. I kissed her cheeks, "it's ok baby daddy is here now...just breathe...do you want your pump?" She nodded slowly as she stared into space. I reached out carefully to the coffee table, so I wouldn't drop her, and grabbed her pump. I shook it about three times and held it up to her lips. She quickly turned her head and buried her face into my chest.

"Princess what's wrong?"

She shook her head. "You don't want it?" She shook her head again. "Are you sure?" She nodded and whimpered.

"Baby what's-" before I could finish my sentence she stood up off my lap and turned to face me. She swung her leg over my lap straddling me and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Daddy you-you're actually here..." I smiled, "Of course baby, how's my girl doing?" He hesitated but then nodded slowly, "I'm good daddy but I missed you a lot."

"I missed you too baby girl."
