The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

He left the room before he further embarrassed himself.

She was probably thinking that he was being weird for no reason. And she was probably

tired, he would wait till she was done so he could take the baby from her and continue for

the night.

Emilia was hungry, ravenous even, but after a while, she started dozing off on her boob

and Lori was relieved. Very relieved, because she was so tired. She burped her and then

carried her in her arms and left the room, she would try and tuck her in as fast as possible

and go get some sleep, perhaps she would be able to get in a few hours before she woke

up fussy.

In the nursery, the door opened quietly and Gabriel walked in while she was wrapping her

in a blanket.

“Go. Go get some rest. I’ll watch her for this night.”

He whispered quietly as he pointed to the door.

Lori looked at him incredulously.

“Really… but..”

Gabriel shook his head.

“I already figured out where the bottles are and there’s formula so I’d feed her if she

wakes up again, you can get some rest.”

He said and Lori nodded.

“Thank you Gabriel.” She said in relief as she backed away from the crib.

“It’s no problem. She’s my daughter.”

He said as he ushered her out of the room.

Lori happily skipped to her room and landed on the bed with a groan.

Oh! Sweet sweet relief! She thought as she snuggled into the covers.

She sighed once again and closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep.

The baby monitor woke her up. Weird. Because she didn’t remember it being in her room

before she went to bed, but perhaps someone had dropped it in there. The baby monitor

detected activity and voices. Lori shot up awake and realized that it was morning, the

gentle rays of the sun was penetrating her room.

God, how long did she sleep? She asked herself as she picked up her phone and checked

the time.

It was a few minutes after eight.

Shit!

Emilia was usually awake around six.

She shot out of bed and bolted out of the door, straight into the baby room where she

found Grace playing the the baby on the rocking chair.

Grace looked up at her with a grin on her face.

“Hey! Good morning!”

“Grace! You’re back.”

She said and Grace nodded.

“Yea! Did you miss me?”

She asked and Lori shrugged.

“Well, to be honest I did.”

She confessed as she sat on the sofa and Grace nodded.

“I got here very early this morning, as early as I could. I saw Mr Gabriel and he was about

to leave, Emilia was already awake by then.”

“He watched her all night! Can you believe it? I was so tired! I didn’t even wake up for a

second!”

“That’s great! You need the rest! I heard you ran out of diapers? I’m so sorry. I’ll go out

and get more.”

Lori nodded.

“It doesn’t have to be now. I actually got quite enough for a few days.”

“But enough about me or the baby, how was your day off?”

She asked and Grace shrugged.

“It was quiet. I went to the park for most of the day.”

Lori crinkled her nose.
