WHEN DADDY LEFT

Gina

Daniel's POV

Six weeks later...

I did something really stupid today and my fiancee caught me in the act.

It's been a rollercoaster for the past six weeks. I have never faced this kind of toughness in my whole life. I thought it was tough when Y'vania lost Elio's twin and I thought it was tougher when I had to raise a child that wasn't my own but this? This is TOUGHEST.

Y'vania can move around the house with ease now. During the first days, she bumped into things, fell flat on her face, cried herself to sleep, refused to eat, had fevers and morning sickness kicked in so it made matters worse, the attitude and mood swings made it really difficult to take care of her sometimes.

We both had to learn how to help her in the bathroom, shower room and going to bed or getting out of bed.

Then there's Elio. He is now a toddler and can move around really fast. One minute he's here and the next he is drinking toilet water and unwrapping toilet papers. He climbs up on tables, chairs, walls and he even tried climbing on the tv and he ended up on the floor, the tv on top of him.

He wasn't injured but the TV was cracked beyond repair. My father enjoys all this and he encourages him to be the most naughty 13 month old toddler. My mother films every mischief that he gets himself into, asking him to explain the situation as if she's a reporter taking a statement. It always causes Elio to laugh and start blubbering words that mostly no one understands. My mother encourages him to go on and he really goes on speaking as the house staff clear up the mess. My father says he's going to be a great public speaker.

We stayed in Atlanta. Y'vania totally refused to travel in her situation. The doctor would've treated her easily from California but she didn't want to leave and I understood her.

We have a total number of 14 house staff and I can say that all of them are really occupied because the Harrington estate is now a busy home. We had to bring in Nina, Elio's nanny from California. She is able to control Elio especially when he is screaming and throwing tantrums. The boy adores her. He calls her an Nini. (aunt Nini)

My father and I still have to run the family businesses but most of the time we do our jobs from home. Javier went back to L.A but he flies in every weekend. Both of us took the semester off. We will resume when everything is back to normal.

Y'vania lied to me that she pranked me and she didn't have a mental breakdown. Maybe she was scared of telling me the truth. The memory lapses were still there but she did her best to act like nothing was wrong.

I found out one morning when we were still at the hospital. She said that her father visited and left her a present. There was nothing on the bed but she pointed at something she could only see. She also kept on tapping one side of her head and blinking as if adjusting her sight to something. Her hands were also shaky. When I asked her if she was okay, she assured me she was and that's what worried me.

I talked to doctor Roberts and he recommended a psychologist who was able to handle the issue within a month. He said it wasn't very serious so it was easily manageable but if we had been late it would've progressed into a critical condition. She finally was able to remember what happened with Anthony and it gave her nightmares for a few days but later on she was able to adjust.

At some point I thought we had handled everything. We thought we had everything grasped; eating habits, bathroom and bedtime routines and everything else. There was one sensitive thing that I still find so hard to cope up with.
Our sex life has become non-existent. It's not like we no longer have interest. We really do.

Y'vania and I have tried but every time we do, nothing happens on her side and she gets frustrated and I end up calming her down instead. I really miss the intimate moments with her and I even asked doctor Roberts if it is a normal thing and he said that it is normal for hormone levels to get distracted after a brain injury.
