The baby contract novel Chapter 69

Carla had her hands full with taking care of Dominion and also trying to figure out how she could engage in something meaning with the little time she had left to be his wife. They got a nanny for Dom who was the exact carbon copy of his father. They had the same hair, eyes and cheeky attitude. Jenny sometimes dropped by to help her babysit Dom while she went out with the nanny. They went back to their busy lives and little Dom grew rapidly, to become a cheerful, happy baby. 

At six months, he had looked so chubby and big that one would mistook him for a baby of nine months old. He had dimples, which made him even more cuter. Everyone around him loved him and the name Baby Dom kinda stuck. 

" Damn! My shoes! " She shouted and went upstairs quickly to grab them. When she came back downstairs, Baby Dom looked up at her expectantly, he did that whenever he wanted to be carried but tonight wasn't it as she had a date with Jenny. 

She shook her head at her baby " Sorry baby, not gonna work tonight, I have an appointment, Aunt Mary will take care of you well, right Mary? "

Mary nodded automatically from behind her and waved a little in Dom's direction. Dom looked away, obviously not liking the idea. Carla quickly thought of what to do

 " And guess what, Dom? Daddy will be home soon so you can play with him if you don't wanna play with Mary, is that okay? " She said gayly, to lift her baby's spirit. 

Dom's eyes widened slightly and he grinned, a typical Blake grin that only the blood could understand. 

" Now, Mom will be back soon, okay? " She said and kissed her son's cheeks before turning to Mary. 

" Take good care of my baby or... " She said sternly and deliberately left her words hanging. Mary shook her head quickly " You have nothing to worry about ma'am, I'll do my best "

Carla nodded, kinda convinced she could trust her. 

" Okay, if my husband ask you where I went, just tell him to call me, is that okay? " And she gave the nanny further instructions in which Mary nodded dutifully, promising to go with every one of them. 

Carla glanced at her baby " Bye honey, Mom will be back soon, okay? " She pecked him soundly on both cheeks and left the room quickly before his bewitching, captivating eyes made her not to leave.

Liam came back home expecting to see his wife and baby but to his utmost surprise, he saw that Mary was still there, but why? He asked himself, confused. 

" Good evening sir, how are you? " Mary asked as she made her way towards him. 

He managed to smile " I'm good Mary, thank you, where is my wife? " He asked, looking behind her to see his baby sleeping soundly in a carrier. He felt his mouth twitched at the corners in a smile. 

He brought his attention back to Mary " Carla, where is she? "

" She went out but told me to tell you to call her " She answered. 

He nodded " Okay thanks " He muttered and went upstairs into their bedroom. Where was Carla and why did she ask him to call her when she could do that herself? 

He placed a call to her and she picked on the second ring. 

" Hey! " She said when she picked up.
