The Alpha’s Nanny (Lori and Gabriel) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

“My son. I put him up for adoption.”

“I didn’t want him. I’m not a good person Gabriel.”

“Maybe, maybe that’s why he died. Maybe that’s why God took him away from me

“Don’t say that..”

Lori shrugged.

“It’s the truth! You know… I didn’t even get to see him.”

She started laughing manically.

“Can you believe that?!”

She exclaimed.

‘I carried him for months and I didn’t even get to see him when he was born!”

“I didn’t deserve to see him.”

She mumbled and Gabriel shook his head.

“No. I don’t believe that. He was your son and you did what you thought was best for him.”

“You’re a good person Lori. I believe that…”

He said as he brought out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and brought it slowly to her face, wiping her tears gently.

The gesture startled Lori, but she stayed calm.

The two of them so quiet that the sound of their breathing could be heard.

‘I’m sorry about your son. I really am. But I hope that you know that it’s not your fault…”

He said softly to her, softer than she had ever heard his voice. Lori smiled, he was so kind.

So kind to her.

What did she do to deserve such a good boss.

She nodded her head slowly.

“Thank you.”

She murmured.

Gabriel nodded.

Chapter 34

“If you need a minute, we can stay here longer…”

Lori shook her head.

‘No. I think I’m ready to go now.”

She said quickly, suddenly longing to hold Emilia in her arms. Her breasts ached the longing and she quietly prayed they wouldn’t leak.

Gabriel nodded.

“Okay then.”

He said as he started the car.

The minute they got out of the car and into the house Lori took off her heels and practically ran to the nursery.

Upon opening the door, she saw that the lights were out, Emilia must be sleeping. She wondered as she walked into the room gently, heading for the crib.

She picked her up gently, as gently as she could, hoping not to wake her up and he pulled her closer to her chest, inhaling her soft sweet baby smell.

“I missed you.”

She whispered as she nuzzled her nose on the baby’s cheek.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Lori turned to see Gabriel standing in front of the open door.

“Is she awake?”

He asked and Lori shook her head.

“No. She’s asleep.”

She whispered and Gabriel nodded.

“Alright then.”

‘Let me kiss her goodnight.”

He said as he walked towards her, he was so close to Lori and the baby that Lori ould see how blue his eyes were.

He kissed Emilia gently on the forehead.

His eyes turned to Lori and he reached out and touched her cheek gently.

‘Don’t forget what I said. You’re safe with me.”

Lori smiled, it was an uneasy smile, the only one she could muster as she held Griel’s gaze.

“Thank you.”

She said and he nodded.

‘Goodnight Lori. I’ll see you in the morning.”

He said and he walked away, closing the door behind him gently.

Lori stayed in the nursery, rocking Emilia in her arms till her arms started to get heavy and she she had no choice but to put the baby down.

She walked back to her room, it was cold and empty.

She didn’t want to sleep there, knowing the nightmares were coming, but she couldn’t stay in the nursery, she didn’t want to wake the baby.

She sighed and slipped into the covers, not bothering to change out of her dress.
