Another Chance

Chapter 7

"Good Morning Lorry,"
"Morning Amber," I said, hugging my best friend. We've been best friends with Madison since kindergarten. That was until Amber's parents moved and then it was just the both of us.
"Give her to me," Amber said and snatched my baby. She thought my baby was her baby. She was obsessed with Melody, my daughter. She gave her Amber too, after herself. Melody Amber Wilson. I have not seen or heard from Nicholas, nor has his family. I gave Melody his surname because she is his child and that is something I cannot take away from both of them.
Anyways, I left her with Amber who toke her to her daycare. She threw a fit before calming down. Apparently, she's attached to Amber, and sometimes I think she forgets I birthed her.
    "Have you heard? There's a huge client coming today," Amber said, seated beside me.
"Who? I don't know his name, but I know his company's name. N&T,"
" Ooh," I said. " What time?"
" I think Gerald's gonna tell you that. But, little too, you're doing the presentation," she whispered the last part and I rolled my eyes. Trust Amber to get secret information without getting caught.
"I'll check it now to know who I'm dealing with," I said, picking up my phone when Gerald called.
As Amber said, I was doing the presentation. Our company was one of the largest advertisment company in the entire world and I was honored to work there.
Anyways, N&T was a car-producing company and also owned ones of the largest  Winery in the entire East, North and South. So, we were getting a two-in-one job offer.

      Later On:

Finally, our client walked in and I thought I was fainting.
The Nicholas Wilson!!!!
Amber was present and gave me the look of  'It's freaking Nicholas'. Pulling myself together, I carried out my presentation and, proud to say he was impressed and agreed.
     I was still arguing with Amber on whether to tell him about Melody, when the caretaker handed a crying Melody to me. Speak of the devil. Apparently, she was hungry and Amber handed me her bottle.
"Taylor," I heard and froze. I turned around to see Nicholas. Amber squealed like rat and slipped away.
"Nicholas," I breathed out in shock. He was taller and more handsome.
He stared at Melody, who was quietly eating and gawking at him.
Even if I wanted to say Melody wasn't his baby, she thought it would be wise to be her father's twin. She mirrored him in every way possible.
Wordlessly, he took her from my arms and she didn't make a sound. She hated strangers holding her, but here she was, nestling in the arms of someone she didn't know!
Okay, I overreacted, he was her father, but they have not met before....
Gathering courage, I spoke up.
"Where have you been? Everyone's been worried sick! I tried reaching you but, you vanished,"
" I'm sorry. It's quite complicated. I'll explain, I promise. What's my baby's name?" He asked and my heart fluttered. His baby.
"Melody. Melody Amber Wilson,"
"Melody," he whispered and she smiled. Ugh! Obviously, she was going to be a daddy's girl.
