Touching The Heart Of Ace (SAMPLE)

Chapter 45

FYI- I cried.

__________________________________________

"I kiss my baby's toes. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby's feet. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby's knees. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby's tummy. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby's fingers. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. I kiss my baby's hands. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm. Now I kiss my baby's cheeks and then she falls asleep. Mmm Mmmm Mmmm."

Well she did not. She just blinked drowsily at me with her soulful eyes. So similar yet so different from her daddy. Robbie eyes always held pain, passion, anger, the all-knowing look that came with the experiences that would make a lesser man crumple.

My Princess had the most innocent eyes in the world with a slight twinge of mischief when she wanted a cuddle or a quick kiss.

"I love you baby girl."

She smiled, a drip of drool falling to her chin. Did she know what I was saying to her? Did she know that she had my heart in her tiny palms? That if a moment came where she would demand my heart literally I would give her mine without a single regret.

No, she didn't.

Not yet anyways.

"Sleep, Baby Angel." She blinked again scowling at me. It was her nap time and she did not want to. She stretched her chubby tiny arm to me and I quickly pressed a kiss. "You know what daddy brought for you yesterday?"

I jumped up and she whined clearly distressed not seeing my face anymore.

"I am here, sweetie, I be right back." I came back as quickly as I went. Her innocent widened with wonder at my 'tada'. She kicked her legs, trying to get the gift quickly.

I chuckled and picked up the toy sunflower. I slowly put it up her swing, my baby's eyes following the bright yellow flower with leaves hands clutched close to its face. It was like the flower toy could not believe that my baby was this pretty.

I gently tapped the petals which made the flower bob its head sideways and Little Lia squealed.

But soon her eyes found mine and she gurgled. "I know baby, it is beautiful. But you are more beautiful. Now, my little baby, take a nap. So you will turn more pretty when you wake up."

She blinked and yawned tiredly. Yet, she fought her sleep to keep on staring at me, ignoring the bobbing flower. I brushed my hand on her head. I still could not get over the fact that she was so tiny and cute and pretty and...

I sighed.

I rubbed her fuzzy head and slowly she slipped to the dream land with a frown. I shook my head, and kissed her forehead. It was like she was frowning because she did not get her kiss because she relaxed just like that. I smiled. God! My heart.

How could anyone reject such a precious child? Then again postpartum depression made Janice blind or that was what doctor said.

It was by accident that I found out, that Janice was not fond of Lia. A new nurse accidentally took my girl to Janice to feed her. God! I was sleeping and woke up to my baby's pained screeches. Janice cussed up a storm towards her own daughter.

Called her... I did not want to remember it.

"TAKE THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!"

I frantically ran to the voices and took Lia off the frozen nurse. Robbie almost turned the whole hospital down if not for his distraught daughter crying on my chest. He almost got that nurse fired.

It was like Janice hated everything that got to do with my girl.

"No one asked you to fuck me, you, pathetic bitch. This changes nothing. I don't..." Robbie said to Janice which I accidentally heard because honestly I was scared he would do something disastrous.
