Damon's POV

I watched as Scarlet rambled on about her daughter even as she went out the door.

I can't believe my baby girl is a mom now.

I walked to her kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water when my phone rang.

Maddison.

She was sleeping when Scarlet called me and I didn't want to disturb her sleep so I left quietly.

"Where are you??" She asked in a drowsy tone.
"At her friend's house, helping her"

"At this time? Who is it?"
"Scarlet, her friend was in an accident and she needed to umm, come take care of her daughter"

"Really? Why you though?" She said through a yawn.

"I told you we were friends, you should be back to bed, I'll see you in the morning"

"Goodnight"

***********

I woke up early, checked on Dior, she was fine.

Dior, its such a beautiful name. I wonder how Scarlet thought of such a name for her baby, its really unique.

"Mummy?"

On hearing that, I left the kitchen and found a drowsy Dior standing up the living room, rubbing her eyes.

"No, I'm uncle Damon"
"Where's mommy?" She asked
"She went out but she'll be back soon"

She smiled at me and sat on the couch.

"I'm hungry!"she announced.
"What's the magic word?" I asked trying to sound nice and not pissed even though I was.

"Abracadabra?"

Well she's got a sharp mouth.

I exhaled deeply and grabbed my phone and dialed Scarlet's number.

"Is everything fine,is she awake,has she eaten,did she ask about me,how is she??" She rambled as she picked the call.

"Dang! Calm down. Yes everything is fine, yeah she's awake, no she hasn't eaten, yeah she asked about you" I answered her questions.

"Can I speak to her?"
I gave Dior the phone.

"I'll be coming home soon, thanks" Scarlet said.

"Its no big deal, just hurry and come back" she chuckled at my words.

"OK, bye"
"Yeah, bye"

"Mummy said I should you nice to you" Dior said drawing my attention.
"That's good, do you have anything to say?" I said going to join her on the couch.

"No, but I'm hungry, Mr......"
"Uncle Damon"I told her.
"OK"

"Your mommy will be here soon, so you'll get your food"
"Why can't you make it?"
"If you say the magic word, I will"

She stared at me for sometime and didn't reply.

What does this remind you of?

Scarlet,the time I was being rude to her

Bingo!

"How old her you?" I asked the not sweet little girl.
"I'm eight years old, how old are you?"
"Eight years?" I asked in disbelief

If she's eight then Scarlet had her while in college.

What part of being rapped shortly after you broke up didn't you get???
