"To protect her is my duty as a father and I shall fulfil it"

Damian's PoV:

Do you ever get that feeling where our heart is beating so fast that you are afraid that it might come off or something? Well that's how I feel right now. I pushed open the door in which the babies are kept in incubators with a deep breath.

My breath hitched when I heard a baby cry. Nora. I immediately walked to one of the two cribs and found my daughter crying. Every cry from her made my heart more and more vulnerable.

I gently picked her up and cradled her in my arms. "Hey baby" as soon as I whispered she opened her eyes and damn! She is so cute. She clutched my fingers so tightly and her lips wobbled slightly as she looked at me with her big dove eyes. It was as if she was asking me where I was all this while. And trust me the look in her eyes made me want to go back into time and change everything if I could.

"Nora.......you are so pretty!" I whispered and she giggled as if she understood what I just said. She moved closer to my body and snuggled herself while Dr. Naina entered the room with some medicines and other stuff. I looked up to find her already staring at Nora with wide eyes.

"How is she even awake?" She questioned herself. "Isn't that a good thing?" She shakes her head and faces me. "Okay Mr. Romano I need to explain what your daughter went through medically and I got to know from your mother that her mother passed away during childbirth and you were absent due to an important reason. So the thing is Human touch at the time of birth is something that is really necessary and In her case where she couldn't experience it, is more important. So when she saw you, there was an unspoken connection that she felt and now she's really attached to you and you should take care of her." She finished it all in one breath while giving me a stern look.

But I wasn't looking at her though I was listening to everything that she's been saying. I was looking at Nora. Why couldn't I accept her and save her before? Why couldn't I think clearly and save her and protect her? I clutched her more closer to me and noticed that she's playing with my fingers and her eyes were on the brink of closing. I adjusted her carefully and rocked her a bit so that she could sleep.

Dr. Naina looked at me approvingly and continued "so I was saying, she's suffered a lot. Since she's got a fever her immune system was already weak and when she was abducted her spinal cord received a minor shock which is too much for a thirty year old, much less than a two month old like her. It's a miracle she survived and I am sure she's having a really tough guardian angel looking after her and I wish you all the best and will see you at our next appointment. All the details will be informed to your brother as I can see that she needs some rest and seeing that you can make her comfortable I will allow you to stay here overnight" she finished with a smile.

"Thank you so much Doctor" I said with a faint smile and she nodded and left after administering Nora's vitals and some other things.

I suddenly recalled Dr. Naina mentioning about a guardian angel looking after Nora. I smiled to myself. Jules. She might have raised hell over heaven of something happened to Nora. Keep protecting her Jules, I promise to never let her get hurt again.

It must have been two hours and Nora was still asleep and I had been in deep thought. Suddenly I heard the doors opening and tensed up but relaxed when I remembered that the whole hospital is being protected by my men. I glanced at the door to find someone whom I never thought I would find and that was the moment the baby in the other crib started crying startling Nora who upon being disturbed started fussing.

But the only thing I could focus on were the people who just entered the room.
