Daddy's Love novel Chapter 13

I am a jerk. Jay told me again and again and I did not listen to him. If I would have taken Ana to the doctors it would all have been over and done by now. She would have been on the path of recovering from the trauma too, but I did not.

And today is the last day.

If I don't take Ana today, two officials will take her and make her get the shots which can be the only possible worse situation than taking her to the Doctors myself.

It's six in the morning, I wake Ana up.

"Come on baby, we got to get up early today." I shake her slightly and then pick her up in my arms.

She whines.

I dress her up while she is still half asleep, and then quickly pack a bag with everything that we are going to need, while she is sitting on the couch hugging her elephant.

"You want to take the stuffie along baby?" I ask her, picking her up.

She nods and yawns.

"Would you like to have some milk?"

She ignores me.

"Maybe some chocolate milkshake?"

She looks at me. That got her attention.

The doorbell rings.

"That must be uncle Jay." I say and go to open the door with Ana in my arms.

"Hey, come on in."

"Hey. Morning Ana. Rise and shine!" He greets Ana. She smiles at him.

"Where Carol?" Ana asks Jay.

"Would you like to meet her after we come back from the doctors?" Jay asks her as I hand Ana over to Jay and rush to make her a bottle of milkshake. I don't want to get late.

When I come back five minutes later, all ready to leave Ana looks more awake and a little chirpy too.

"Let's go!" I call and the three of us leave.

I am driving and Jay is sitting with Ana on the back seat. I am so thankful for his presence right now. He is answering all the difficult questions that Ana is asking and the bloke is doing a darn good job of it. I think of when we took Carol and flinch.

Ana looks at me.

I should calm down. I will freak Ana out! I take deep breaths to calm the fuck down. I look at Ana. She is again engaged with Jay.

"You promise?" she asks Jay.

"I promise." Jay answers solemnly. "But only if you be a good and a brave girl today."
