Scarlett:
“Good morning” I heard Luna Katlyn say as I opened my eyes.
I jumped at the sound of her voice, not expecting to be here, and sitting up, I straightened against the bed’s headboard.
“Relax, Scarlett” she said, looking at me. My eyes dropped to the baby, my baby, in her arms, and looking away, I had to fight the clench in my chest at the fact that I was resenting her after all the pressure they put on me “it’s normal what you’re feeling. Especially after all the pressure that you were under, but Anastasia has nothing to do with it
“Anastasia?” I asked, frowning in confusion.
“Alexander chose to call her Anastasia, Nasia for short” she said, looking down at the little girl who whimpered “do you want to hold her?”
“Everyone claims that I am not fit to be her mother…”
“Scarlett, you’re scared, I know, and what you’ve dealt with is far more than anyone could want to handle. But you are nowhere near unfit to be the child’s mother. To say the least, you kept her safe inside you, alone, giving yourself the minimum to ensure that you got her something for her when she was born” she said, looking at me “yes, I know that we all said harsh words that may have hurt you; but you of all people should know that we said them out of shock”
“Alpha Alexander is not going to accept her as his daughter…”
“Wasn’t he the one who named her?” She asked, stopping me. I looked down at my lap, avoiding her eyes “he brought you here himself. He could have left you out there, but he didn’t. I understand your fear, anger, and pain, but your child is not to blame for all of this”
I watched as she extended her to me, and looking at her, I couldn’t help but tear up a little at how selfish I was being. Luna Katlyn’s eyes were fixed on me, and extending my hands to the baby, she slowly handed her to me “just put your hand under her head to support her neck. She is yet to be fed today, if you want to give it a shot…”
1 don’t think that my milk would be healthy for her…”
“There is no milk healthier than a mother’s to her child” she said, stopping me. I pulled my daughter to my chest, and looking down at her, I couldn’t help the sob that broke from my lips. My baby’s eyes met mine for the first time, and leaning in, I carefully kissed her forehead.
“Hi, baby” I whispered to her “I’m your mum…”
My little girl kept her eyes on mine for a few seconds before she opened her mouth and started crying, startling me. My eyes widened in surprise and wanting to push her away, I was surprised when Luna Katlyn stopped rye, gently putting her hand on mine as she shook her head at me “she’s hungry, and as a baby, this4′ how she can express herself…”
“How…?
“Just pull the hospital gown down, and guide her toward your nipple, she would know how to suck on the milk” she said, handing me a baby blanket. I frowned in confusion, and putting it over my shoulder, she helped me cover myself as I did what she told me to.
My eyes widened in surprise when small lips wrapped around my nipple as my baby started sucking on my milk, and I couldn’t help but laugh, despite the tears that were falling from my eyes, at the feeling of her biting me as she sucked as hard as she could. Luna Katlyn kept her eyes on me, studying my expression, before she nodded “I’ll have them bring her crib here, she can sleep in your room, how
about it? There would be nurses helping you tend to her, but it is important for your baby to hear your, breathing to learn how to breathe in the same pattern”
But won’t Alpha Alexander be upset? “
I will be speaking to him, Scarlett” she said, stopping me “the baby is yours, not the nurse’s, and it is only right for her to stay beside you For now, we will help you get the proper nutrition in your body, and I’ll ensure that we help you regain your health and strength I’ll also teach you how to handle small things like changing her diaper, give her a shower, and even feed her through a bottle”
“So, I would still need to bottle feed her?” I asked and she nodded.
Your baby would need to drink a few herbs to help with any constipation that might form, water, and even artificial milk as I am not really sure that you would be having enough milk. But we would work on everything; however I am going to need you to be strong and patient through it all” she said, looking me in the eve “it’s not going to be easy, not on you, and not on Alex either”
“But what if he doesn’t accept her? What if he resents her completely? I am sorry for asking this, but you’ve seen how he was yesterday The man was more willing to accept her if she wasn’t his child” I said, my heart breaking at the fact that I heard him telling Delilah that the baby might not be his. He knew that he was the one who took my virginity, and regardless of that, he accused me of being touched by another man.
He was in shock, and he won’t be accepting her in a day or two either But the two of you are going to eventually learn to come to some mutual agreement, whether it is to be together completely or to co-parent your child. For now, you both need to know how to manage things” she said, looking me in the eye “and if you use your brain, heart, gentle soul, and kindness, I am sure that you would be able to even have his heart”
“Pardon?” I asked, frowning in confusion.
“A home is not built in a day, Scarlett. You’re a beautiful female, use that to your advantage. Have him wanting to come home every night. Tend to him, try talking to him, maybe even spend the night with him. You have so many options to try, and with Delilah gone, I am sure that you would be able to make something out of this” she said, smiling at me.
“Delilah is gone?” I asked, frowning in confusion.
“Yes, she left last night and had two men come and get her things. You have all the space to yourself, all you have to do is be smart about it” she said, making me frown.
I am not going to be the replacement or that cheap…”
No one asked you for either one of them, Scarlett” she said, stopping me as I looked down at my baby who was in my arms, still drinking her milk “but if you want your daughter to have a father in her life, you need to make sacrifices. You chose to keep your child, then you are to be a mother to that child, and that includes giving her the best that you could offer”
Luna Katlyn got up from the edge of the bed and turned to the door before I could respond. Her eyes avoided mine .s she saw my frown on my face, probably understanding how absurd she sounded, or maybe shei6st didn’t care about ME in specific, the girl she was referring to was her grandchild.
“Think of what I said, Scarlett. As long as you wish to keep your child, you are going to be responsible for her” she said, standing beside the door as she looked at me over her shoulder “the maids will come in with the crib in a few minutes. Then the nurses would come to check on you and help you to the bathroom if you need it. I’ll be back later today to check how you are doing. Until then, I want you to think of my words carefully. You are no longer that child or girl who was here under our mercy…”
i frowned at her choice of words, but choosing to stay quiet, I waited to hear what she had to say, too exhausted to even argue with her to begin with “you are a mother; therefore, I suggest that you start acting like it…”
