My baby girl (Babies series #1)

31. Dills found

"She's safe, I promise" He said in a quiet tone.

I was angry and happy but more angry at the moment.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS AT?" I screamed as I got up off the couch and started after him.

My dad quickly grabbed me and held me back.

"Braydon, you will not win in a fight against him" My dad said calmly.

"I'm sorry Braydon" Antonio said.

I could tell he meant it but I didn't care at the moment.

"My baby has been missing for over twelve hours and you're sorry?" I said angrily.

"Can I explain?" He asked

I was shooting daggers at him.

"I think that's a good idea" My dad said as he pushed me back so I was back on the couch.

"Sit down. I don't want you talking down to me" I said

My dad quickly pushed a chair over to him which he immediately sat in.

"Better?" He asked.

I nodded.

"I better start by telling you that Minnie Miller is my stepdaughter..."

I swear I heard everyone's jaw drop including mine.

We all kept quiet though.

"She's been my stepdaughter for about six years and her mom was killed in a car accident, when I was driving, about two years ago. Minnie blames me so I try and do whatever she wants from me to make it up to her..."

Antonio was seriously pathetic.

"So taking a child is something you would do for your stepdaughter?" Claire asked while crossing her arms.

"It's bad I know" He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Get on with it so I can get my daughter back" I said through gritted teeth.

"Anyways, when you started working at the restaurant I figured out that you were the father of Minnie's baby. That's why she suddenly showed up at the restaurant, I told her about you..."

I was still angry he had just called Delaney Minnie's baby.

She was just a warm place for Delaney to develop for nine months.

"I figured you two would work everything out and you would be a happy family but I guess I was wrong. So after you refused to see her or let Delaney see her she came to me with the idea of making you unable to be a parent...."

I was confused.

"The whole robbery was staged and you were meant to die when you got shot..."

I think instead of me killing him, Claire and my mom were going to do it because after they heard that sentence come out of his mouth they were both up charging after him, screaming every cuss word they knew.

My dad and I quickly pulled them back as they struggled against us.

"Everyone needs to calm down" My dad commanded as we all sat back down.
