Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 26

Michael's P.O.V.

Mya was being extra clingy today. She wanted to be near me every second. She cried when I put her down and she even cried when I left her for two seconds to go to the bathroom. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mind this at all. However, it wasn't really a good thing. I needed to go into the office today and I called my friend Andrew to watch her. Harry and Giselle are gonna be in Bahamas for another week so I had no choice but to call him. I was just kinda hesitant to bring it up because I wasn't sure how she was going to react.

It took a lot of convincing, but Mya was outside running around in the backyard with Aladdin. "Come here boy" she called cutely puckering her lips and making the kissy noises. Aladdin barked and ran over to her as fast as his little legs could carry him. It was so adorable watching them play.

"Hi daddy!!" She called waving happily at me. I smiled, "Hi beautiful....you and Aladdin come inside so I can talk to you a minute."

She nodded running inside, Aladdin hot on her heels.

Jumping into my lap she smiled brightly. Aladdin ran and got a quick drink of water. He then went into his bed and curled up like a ball closing his eyes.

She leaned in and peck my lips. "What's wrong daddy?" I shook my head "Nothing baby. I just wanted to talk to you about something."

She nodded popping her thumb into her mouth. I quickly scolded her, "No princess. You were just outside don't put your fingers in your mouth." I gently pulled her thumb out of her mouth and replaced it with her paci.

"Ok princess daddy has some important things to do at work today and-" she cut me off, spitting her pacifier into the floor. "You're leaving again?!" I sighed, "baby I'm only gonna be gone for a couple of hours. I promise I'll be back this evening."

She pouted, "but daddy you always work here, how come you can't stay here today?"

"Certain things just need to be handled in person baby."

She shook her head, "I-I wanna come with you. I promise I'll be a good girl and I'll listen and behave." Awww she's so adorable. I sighed, "Baby I wish I could bring you but I can't because I won't be able to watch you."

She whimpered as tears filled her sad eyes. "Daddy don't gooo...."

I shook my head, "No no baby none of that. I told you I will be coming back tonight and I mean it. My friend Andrew is coming to watch you, ok? He's gonna play games with you and treat you like a pretty little princess."
