Fatherhood!!

"It's not about when I started loving you but about how much I love you."

Damian's PoV:

Five hours and eleven minutes. That's how long it has been since she was taken into surgery. From then my heart hasn't stopped beating fast, my mom's tears haven't stopped running, my dad's eyes haven't stopped blazing and my brothers body hasn't stopped shaking of anger.

One might feel that being the biggest mafia leader I might be overreacting. Hell I would have told myself the same two months ago. But now that I am a father, I am not ready to give up so soon. I want Nora to wake up. I want to be there to witness her first steps, I want to take her to park and shoo away the boys who dared to come near her. No! God can't take her away so fast! He took away Julia and now Nora too. Life can't be so cruel to that small baby.

I was broken from my trance the moment Dr. Naina came out. She was still in her surgical gear. I looked at her pleadingly and she gave me a sad smile. No! It was the same way how the Doctor looked after Jules passed away.

My eyes widened when I realised what Dr. Naina's words might be. "No!, don't tell me she's gone" I roared. "Okay damn stop yelling and Calm down. She's fine I was about to tell you that her heart stopped once during the surgery but somehow when we were about to give up it stated beating again. She's got some strong angles looking after her." She finished with a smile.

"She's okay. Yessssss!!! She's okay" I hugged Ash out of nowhere and he hugged me back, while my parents thanked Dr. Naina and she nodded and left after informing me that only one of us can see her.

One of us? But don't all of us have the right to see her? Mom and dad along with Ash are the only reason she made it so far. But me? I was the reason she suffered all this while.

I averted my eyes to my mom ready to tell her to go inside. But she held up a finger before I could speak "No Damian, I know what you are thinking. You are equally important to her as much as we all are. Don't questing your motives because you might not have been there al this while but now that you are here, you are the only one who can take care of her."

"But mom she's here only because of me and....." "shut up dude! Don't you think that she deserves you now. That poor child was vying for some affection that only a parent can give her and trust me now that you are here, I am sure you can do this" Ash cut me off.

For the second time in months I smiled a real smile. Yes, all that matters is the present now. I won't let anyone hurt my little girl now. She's the only thing that matters to me now! It's after ages that a girl was born into our family so I am sure that everyone will love and protect her the same. Now it's up to me to become the father that Jules wanted me to be. I can't forget the promise that I made to her.

I took a deep breath and looked up to find my family looking at me with smiles on their faces. I smiled back and stood up and made my way towards Nora's room. I promise you Nora, daddy will never let you get hurt.
