Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 251: Daisy

Moana

After ten hours of intense and grueling labor, little Daisy was born.

“She’s so tiny,” I whispered as I held the little crying bundle in my arms. The doctor weighed her at just six pounds and twelve ounces, but she was as healthy as an ox.

Edrick, who hadn’t left my side throughout the entire delivery, leaned over my shoulder with a wide grin on his face and held his hand out to touch her cheek. Almost instantly, Daisy’s little hand shot out and gripped his index finger with a relentless force for such a little thing.

Her eyes were squeezed shut, and yet she still had an instinct to keep her father’s finger in a vice grip.

I couldn’t help but laugh, but I also wanted to cry.

When I was on the cliff with Michael, I saw my parents at my birth. I did the same thing to my father, and I also wouldn’t let go of my mom’s finger when she had to leave me at the orphanage.

But now, little Daisy wouldn’t need to ever let go of us if she didn’t want to. I wouldn’t let anything happen to her or us. We were a family now, and we were protected.

When I looked up at Edrick, the look in his eyes was priceless. I had never seen anyone look at someone with so much intense love, and seeing it made me tear up.

“Here,” I said, taking his hand and placing it beneath Daisy’s back. “You can hold her.”

Edrick’s eyes widened slightly as he gingerly took our baby out of my hands and held her close to his chest. I watched, unable to contain both my smile and my tears, as he started to gently bounce her and whisper to her.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and the nurse poked her head in.

“Sorry to interrupt,” the nurse said in a soft tone of voice, “but you have some visitors. Are you ready to see them?”

Edrick and I both nodded. A few moments later, Ella rushed in and ran up to Edrick. Selina and Verona walked in behind her.

“Is that Daisy?” Ella asked, standing up on her tiptoes to see.
