Destiny's choice

Chapter 14

One week later

Courtney's POV

I had finally left the hospital. I was dealing with some baby blues even nightmares sometimes but it was alright. The sight of my little angel sleeping in the crib was adorable.

My mother approched her as she spoke to me.

"Look honey she has your nose and rosy cheeks! She reminds me of you as a baby she looks a lot like you! It's too cute!"

I smiled at her but all u could think of was how much she resembles her father, sure she resembled me too but that was not what I was focused on.

Since the day Duncan left the hospital I didn't see him anymore.
Anyway I didn't have time to dwell on that.

I had just filled an application for a job in a law firm before the birth of Davina and this morning I received a mail saying that they would be interested in having an interview with me tomorrow morning.

I automatically agreed as it was one of the most prestigious law firms out there. Sure it would take some time to be as successful as I always wanted especially with a baby on my schedule but I will have to manage, I am a hard worker anyway.

You would say, why am I that hurried to get a job, well I was still living with my parents and taking courses online while pregnant and I even graduated with excellent grades. But now that I have my degree and a daughter, and considering how old I was I just had to move out to settle on my own with my child. I couldn't stay here. It will have to do for a month or so at least until I secure a job so I could rent a place to start with. It wouldn't have to be too far though in case I needed help with Davina while I will be at work.

"Mom?"

"Yes?" she said glancing in my direction while settling some of the baby stuff we bought.

"Do you have work tomorrow or could you stay with Vina while I go to the job interview?"

"It's okay I will manage a day off go have your interview. Oh and by the way Vina is a cute nickname! I can't believe I am her grandmother!"

I smiled at my mother and I stood up to hug her. No matter if I was a mother myself now, in that moment, being in my mom's embrace, I felt like I was a child all over again.

                          ****

It was night fall. Before I go to sleep I decided to add a photo into the computer Duncan hacked. Just in case... he wanted to see how she was it would be an indirect way of telling him.

I took a picture of sleeping Vina I had snapped earlier and put it there. (Picture in the beginning)

I wasn't too sure he would care or if he would bother look at it but I just felt it was the right thing to do. I know I said earlier that I wanted him out of our lives but I just feel as if I had to do this just in case.

Anyway it's not like he cares it's been a week we haven't heard of him.

I closed my laptop sighing and decided I had to put my daughter's ID aside. I removed it out the bag I hadn't taken enough time to look at it before.

Davina Destiny Nelson

Nelson??! That is Duncan’s Surname! Why would Daisy put Duncan's family name and even list that he is her father to the hospital? It doesn't make sense!

I decided I had to ask her about it so I made sure my baby was sleeping before going to her room, I didn't even bother to knock.

"Personal space?" She said.

I ignored her giving her the ID. "Explain this" I said sternly.

She exhaled removing her phone of her hands.

"It wasn't me, it was him, I couldn't bring myself to tell you as you were always exhausted, I happened to see him in the cafeteria and I told him what you thought about naming her so when I went to do it later he had already done it himself"

I looked at her surprised but I just couldn't say anything.

Why? Why did he do this? I thought he.. didn't want a connection to his daughter? Or was it what I wanted? But then why doesn't he come to see her again?

I just couldn't wrap my mind around all these questions but before I could say anything Davina started crying as if sensing my messed up emotions. I just ran to her side back in my room to pick her up and feed her.

What are you playing at Duncan....

AN:
