Story 12 (26)

Lilian was now a week old when Paul decided to go on a walk with her, Nina and Ian. They made sure the tiny girls face was covered or hidden at all times, even when Paul stayed in her arms for cuddles.
"Paul, paparazzi behind you." Ian nodded toward them, taking the small girl into his own arms.
"Oh but my cuddles." Paul whined.
"Oh but my daughter." Ian smirked, kissing Lilian's head who smiled up at him.

Lilian was fond of her father, even at a young age. She was only a week old, she slept, and ate, cried, made a dreadful smell, and cuddled people. That's what she did the most, especially Ian. If she wasn't in Paul's arms she was in Ian's, he spoiled her with cuddles and kisses. He must have brought her a thousand dresses and stuffed animals.
Nina spoiled her more, any chance she got to take Lilian from Ian for cuddles of her own, she would. Lilian only brought Ian and Nina closer, despite people telling them that'd it force them apart. They often spent hours cuddling each other, long kisses and just staring at their daughter. The three of them loved going on walks, holding their daughter in their arms.

This girl was their blessing. It brought them closer than eve, which obviously pissed off Nikki and her fans. Neither of them had posted since they introduced their daughter to the world. Paul had posted about Lilian, of course he had, he was her uncle, and he loved the tiny girl.
As they walked down the small cobbled street, Lilian in Nina's arms, they saw fans coming towards them.

"Paul, pass me the cover." Ian said, pointing to the one on the pushchair. Paul grabbed it handing it to Ian, who put it over his daughters face. It wasn't thick, she could breathe and feel the air. But it made sure nobody could see what she looked like.
"Ian." Nina said, noticing a phone out as the fans stood at a distance, not sure if they could walk up to them or not. Nina smiled and waved, trying not to move her daughter, she then waved them over.

...

"Hi, I'm really sorry. We didn't want to interrupt you guys.." one of the fans smiled, looking at the baby.

"It's okay, what are your names?" Nina asked, teh blonde one couldn't have been older than 20, but the other looked like she was in her early 30's.
"I'm Maya." The blond girl smiled.
"I'm Tess." The brunette one said, looking fondly at Ian.

"Could we have hugs?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, course. Give me a minute to sort Lilian?" Ian asked, taking her from Nina, still covering her face.
The girls nodded, waiting patiently as Paul took the tiny girl, lifting the cover to kiss Lilians cheek, before he put her in her pushchair, putting the cover back.

The fans hugged each of them, taking a photo with the three. They spoke for a while, before Lilian started wailing loudly.
"Did we wake her?" Tess asked, looking extremely nervous, especially around Paul.
"No, she was due to wake up from her nap." Paul replied, taking her back out and rocking her. He was mesmerized by Tess, she was beautiful, she clearly cared about giving them personal space around Lilian and she fully supported Nina and Ian.

"Tess, may I ask how old you are." Paul asked, holding Lilian close.
"I'm 33." She smiled, touching her curls behind her ear, much like Ian she had bright blue eyes.
Paul pulled Tess to the side, managing to get her number, but he wanted to trust her, so he got her Instagram to message her from that too.

...

As they went back to Nina and Ian's shared home, Ian teased Paul about his new interest in the girl he had met.

"Tess?" Ian laughed, taking his daughter from Paul.

"She's pretty. She fully respected that we wouldn't show her Lilian. Ian when she hugged me I felt butterflies!" Paul said. "And her eyes, she had those eyes, with them curls and her laugh...Ian don't even."
Nina looked up from her phone, smirking at Ian who smirked back.
