Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 31

Michael's P.O.V.

I sighed running a stressful hand over my face. I gripped the steering wheel tighter as I drove. How could I not seen this? I mean... no one wants to hear that their love has ADD. There is nothing wrong with it, I don't love her any less, but it just came as a shock to me.

"Daddy..." Mya said pulling me out of my deep thoughts. "Yes honey?" She whined trying to open her car seat. "No no baby don't do that, I'm driving."

I pulled into the pharmacy parking lot and shut off the car. "Princess daddy needs to go buy something ok? It'll just take a minute."

She nodded yawning, "Ok papa. We get ice cream after?" I froze....her stomach...shes not suppose to have milk. "Um ok baby sure. We can get ice cream."

I got out of the car and carefully took Mya out of her seat. She whined reaching for her pacifier. "Hold on princess." I grabbed her paci off of the seat and placed it into her mouth. She sighed relaxing in my arms. I carried her into the store and approached the short man at the counter. "Hi I'm here for a pick up." He nodded standing up from his stool and walking over to his computer. "What's the name?" 

"Hoffstetter."

He typed on his computer and walked away grabbing a white bag from the shelf. "Ok here we go. It says she should take a table spoon of this twice a day." I nodded pulling out my credit card. The man quickly swiped it and handed it back to me along with the bag.

"Daddy..." Mya said softly shutting her eyes closed. I kissed her cheek. It was warm....."What's wrong baby?" She pouted and grabbed her stomach. "Tummy..." that was all she was able to get out before everything in her stomach came up. She threw up all over the floor and on me. My eyes widened, "Oh my gosh baby!! Are you ok?!" She nodded coughing harshly and then burying her face into my neck. I frowned when her forehead made contact with my cheek. Her skin was so hot....she has a fever.

I sighed and turned to the man at the counter, "I'm so sorry, I-" he cut me off. "It's no problem sir. You take her home and get her some rest." I nodded thanking her.

Mya has been asleep since we got home. I took her temperature and it read 103. How could I have let this happen? 

I walked into the bedroom and saw Mya sitting up on the bed patting Aladdin. "Baby." I said sitting down next to her. "What are you doing up?" She crawled into my lap and gripped my shirt.

We sat like this until she started to fall asleep. "Baby...let me put on some pajamas and then we can cuddle all night, ok?" Without answering she  crawled off my lap and tried to pull Aladdin into her lap but he jumped off the bed. I stood and walked over to my drawer. Mya's eyes followed me as I grabbed my Tommy Hilfiger pajama pants and thew them on the bed. I started to unbuckle my belt and she screamed, squeezing her eyes shut. "NO NO NO I DON'T LIKE IT!!!"

I quickly ran over to her side and hugged her. "Woahh calm down baby. What's wrong." She shook her head frantically and pulled her hair. "No daddy no no!! Don't take pants off!! I don't like lollipop and toy." She rocked back and forth and whispered, "I don't like it..."

Lollipop...what lollipop?

I pulled her into my lap and rubbed her back slowly. "Baby calm down...breathe.....good girl." She slowly calmed down and remained quiet. "Baby...talk to daddy....whats wrong?"

She whimpered and twitched her head to the side. "I don't like the lollipop papa."

I frowned, "What lollipop baby?" She sighed in frustration. "The one in pants daddy. I no like it. It taste nasty." Wait what the f!ck? Is she talking about d!ck?? My question was confirmed when she spoke again. "I no like whip cream inside. I throw up because hurt tummy." My anger started to boil. "Who gave you the lollipop princess?"

"Drew gave me lollipop and whip cream inside and then tummy hurt so I throw up. Then Drew punch me and I got boo boos on face daddy."

I took a deep breath to try to control my breathing. How could Drew do this and act like he didn't know what happened?

"Ok baby...its time for bed so let's lay you down and get some sleep ok?" I lifted her up and carried her into her bedroom. "No daddy I wanna sleep with you today." I shook my head, "Baby daddy has some things to take care of. But I promise, as soon as I'm done I'll come back and get you ok?" She nodded laying down. I placed Aladdin and her teddy in bed with her then handed her her paci. "Papa can I get kiss?" I smiled. "Of course sweetheart." I pecked her lips and pulled the blanket up to her chin. "Get some sleep baby." I turned on her princess nightlight and left the room shutting the door shutting the door quietly behind me.
