I arrived home with Nianna after work. On the way I bought a pink baby bouncer, few colorful rattles, and a purple medium pony doll for Nianna. I placed her on her bouncer and kept her on the kitchen table. I gave a rattle to her hand, but she started sucking it, so I took it away. I kept preparing milk for Nianna and meanwhile she stared at me like a curious fox with broadened eyes. While feeding her, I found my phone ringing, it was Helena's call. 

"Hey! I missed you!", I initiated.

"Oh my god... what miracle refined you brain and heart? you sound so happy!", she asked.

"Well, I am..", I chortled.

"Tell me about it silly", she inquired.

I told her every single detail, and Helena almost fell from the sky. She  gasped and praised how I determined to own Nianna as my daughter. I explained Helena that there wasn't a reason to praise, I found my happiness with Nianna, so it was easy to possess her as mine. Helena's voice became a bit shaky at a point, she was about to cry I guess. I knew, she really cared about me.

Day after tomorrow was Christmas. I became exuberant to think about my first Christmas with my Child. The following day I again went for shopping with Nianna after work. I bought some warm clothes for her, and even bought a mini santa dress. It had a cute tiny bell affixed with the red cap. I couldn't wait to see my little santa!

The same day I had a lingering conversation with Helena over the phone. After I hung up I realized I only gossiped about Nianna. Gone were the gloomy days, I couldn't agnize myself at times. I was deeply in love with my daughter, I felt like she was from my womb, she belonged to my blood, and we were inextricable. Her smile overpowered me, her cries disturbed me.

Finally Christmas eve arrived. I dressed Nianna into a tiny santa. And she looked breathetakingly  adorable!

I never imagined my Christams without Charles could be happy, but I discovered it the happiest with Nianna

I never imagined my Christams without Charles could be happy, but I discovered it the happiest with Nianna.
She was sleeping peacefully in her adorable tiny santa attire, I awed at her. Her little composed lips, her bubbly eyes, her puny hands and feet, her soothing face of sleep, everything about her made me endear her more and more! I will give her a fat lot of love.
I was preparing milk for Nianna when I heard someone hammered on the door. I sauntered to the door... jumped and was on cloud nine immadiately when I discovered Helena standing. I tugged her in my arms. It was like a buy one get one free offer happiness!
We screamed like babies as we hugged with loud laughter, and Nianna woke up with a mewl.
"That's her ", I said to Helena.
She barged in with excitement. Helena's steps became slower when she was getting near her bouncer. "She's adorable as a kitten!", Helena murmured. I quickly took Nianna on my lap sitting on the couch and asked Helena to sit beside me.
She saw me feeding Nianna, and I could feel her getting overwhelmed by looking at her eyes. Suddenly Helena requested to take Nianna on her lap. I happily agreed and transferred Nianna gently to Helena's lap, circled by her arms. But, as soon as Nianna saw her face and understood it wasn't me, she started sobbing, longing for release. Poor Helena.
"Are you gonna roast a turkey?" Helena asked.
"Not in a mood for such hassle, I got a better plan"
"What?" Helena's eyes shone in excitement.
"Let's fry the frozen french fries and chicken strips, kept in the freezer, and enjoy it with some mojito, I have my special honey mustard sauce stocked as well"
"I am in!" She nearly jumped.
