Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 661

But I never expected that it wouldn't just happen naturally and that we'd need a professional's help.

And that pain, it was beyond anything, even birthing a child.

"Is this person even a pro?" Gregory lingered at the door, itching to go in but held back by Lucius.

When my mom saw Lucius couldn't keep him at bay, she handed the baby over to him.

Sure enough, that calmed him down.

"Pain's normal, I know you're worried about Jane, but this is something that just has to be done," Lucius tried to reassure him.

Gregory tried to pass the baby back to my mom, but she wouldn't take her, "Walk the baby around a bit."

Standing here, he was just scaring the professionals inside.

"Chris, come with me to grab some stuff."

Bella took Christine away, calling Lucius along too.

Dailey was busy with a meeting for Gregory today, couldn't make it.

So there stood Gregory at the door, staring down at his daughter, who was just blowing bubbles at him, not crying a tear.

He was a complete softie for her.

"Your mom's been through a lot, be good for her, okay? If anything comes up, just come to dad."

...

When I finally relaxed, even in the air-conditioned room, I was drenched in sweat.

The professional wiped me down, saying, "You can start breastfeeding now. I'll go get Mr. Ford."

I nodded, "Thank you so much."

"It's my job," the professional went to call Gregory in.

Gregory habitually called for Lucius to settle the bill, then remembered he'd been taken away by Bella.

He handed the baby to me before going to pay.

When he came back, I was breastfeeding, turning away slightly at his entrance.

Gregory chuckled, "What are you hiding for? It's not like I haven't seen it all."

I shot him a glare, "Don't corrupt our daughter."

Gregory sat down, amused at how happily our daughter was feeding, poking her cheek with his finger.

She even locked eyes with him, enjoying herself even more.

"Show off."

Not even asking for my help, just dealing with it himself.

And now, with a month of postpartum care ahead, his longing was understandable.

But in front of the baby!

My ears were burning, I shot him a look, "If you can't behave, at least be a good dad, okay?"

...

Gregory let go and stood up, "Fine, I'll be a good dad."

He settled on the couch, picking up a parenting guide to read.

I smiled, got him there.

...

Christine and Bella returned, loaded with shopping bags, almost filling up the room.

Christine waved a set of baby clothes at me, proud as punch, "Look what I picked out, cute, right?"

Baby stuff's always so tiny and adorable.

I chuckled, "Kids grow up so fast, all this might not even get used. Let's not waste money."
