Daddy's Love

CHAPTER 40 - TOGETHER AGAIN

We are busy kissing each other, done away with most of my clothes (well, Grey was already naked

under the covers) when we hear a knock.

"Daddy! Uncle Jay?!" I see them trying to push the door open. It's heavy for them. I chuckle and get up

to open the door. I am shirtless and Grey, quite awake now. He pulls on a pair of shorts.

"Hello, there. What's the matter?" I pick her up. She looks over to her daddy to make sure he's not Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

mad. Grey smiles at her and she visibly relaxes.

"We found a lot of things... In my room, that daddy said is a no-no. We don't know what to do with

them. Carol said to go call you or daddy."

Just then we hear the fire alarm. Grey leaps out of bed runs to Ana's room. "Stay here!" he shouts.

One minute later, he comes back with a tearful Carol in his arms.

"Shh... It's okay... It's not your fault. It's my fault... " I sigh in relief and then I glare at her. She knows not

to play with fire because of a certain incident in the past.

"Hushh... Don't be scared." Grey glares back at me. "You're safe. It's okay."

Ana wants out of my arms. She goes and hugs Carol, who then calms down.

"Daddy... Sorry?" Carol tells me, scared that I am mad at her and for good reason.

"It's okay, baby." I kiss her forehead. "But, if I see you playing with fire again, your butt will be on fire. I

promise you that. You remember what happened last time, don't you?"

"Shut it, Jay. It was my fault. I don't know what was the matchbox doing in her room." Grey tells me.

The girls get busy talking to each other.

"Then your ass will be on fire." I mouth at him.

He shows me his middle finger. I can't help but grin.

Later, we are in the kitchen eating breakfast. They like the food so much. It's such a happy day, all four

of us, together, it seems after a lifetime.

"Grey, why don't you give a bath to these babies while I clean Ana's room?" I tell Grey.

"No daddy! No bathing yet! We want to Playyyy!" Both the girls whine.

The phone rings.

I go to pick up the call. When I come back the girls are still troubling Grey for bath time.

"Come on, girls, quick! We got to go somewhere after!" I tell them. They all look at me quizzically.

"Where?" Carol asks.

"I'll tell y'all when you are ready to leave."

Grey takes them for a bath while I pack the girls' diaper bags.

He comes inside the kitchen while I am taking water bottles.

"Where are we going? I feel like spending a day in." He tells me.

"I know." I give him a quick kiss. "Dr. G. The girls have to get their flu shot."

He groans.

"Why today??"

"You know why. All the littles will be there. I am thinking if we leave soon there won't be too many littles

crying there already. Remember last year? I don't want to waste the entire day again."

Grey looks so frustrated, it's not even funny.

"Listen, you can stay back at home. I'll take the girls." I offer. I know his ass must be smarting.

He laughs at me.

I raise an eyebrow in question. He keeps on laughing and goes back to the girls, I suppose.

The laughter can't have to do with the fact that I wasn't able to handle Carol myself last year and Grey

had to come to the rescue, in the middle of the day, from his office to the hospital.

I hear the girls all ready and come down excited about going outside together after so many weeks. I

wish it hadn't had to be to the doctors. Both of them will freak out.

"Where are we going daddy?" Ana asks Grey once we are in the car.

"We can go to chipotle for lunch and ice creams later, okay?"

"Ice creams again?!" both the girls scream.

They are super happy. For now, at least.
