Daddy's Love novel Chapter 24

I check on the girls and Carol is awake with a wet diaper and Ana is still asleep.

"Hey baby, sleep well?" I kiss her cheek.

"Daddy, Ana?" She asks surprised.

"Yes, you'd like to play with her, right? She has just had a very bad day though."

"Huh? Why?" She asks as I change her into fresh diapers.

"She'll tell you if she wants to when she wakes up." I kiss her and pick her up.

I put Carol on the couch in the living room after switching on her movie and then go to prepare a quick dinner of soup, bread and vegetables, taking the baby monitor with me in case Ana wakes up.

Dinner is done. Ana and Chris are still asleep and Carol is busy watching her movie. I decide to feed the girls first.

"Carol, I am going to wake Ana up, you should be on the dining table when I am back. And would you check on uncle Grey to see if he is awake yet? He is resting in my room."

"Uncle Grey is here?! Why didn't you tell me?!" She gets up all excited.

"He is.... unwell. Don't wake him up if he is fast asleep." I tell her as I go upstairs to check on the baby.

She is sleeping. I pick her up in my arms and bounce her trying to wake her up.

"Time for dinner, Ana. You need to wake up sweetheart." She yawns and opens her eyes and rubs them.

"No rubbing your eyes Ana." I pull her hands down gently.

"You hungry?"

She nods.

"You skipped lunch?"

She nods and rests her head on my shoulders.
