As I got close to the nursery I could hear Sunshine screaming....when did she start cry I asked the maid who was behind me.
For some time now Sir, we have tried everything, we gave her food, checked her diapers, sung for her but it all didn't work ...
She was really screaming, I was surprised I didn't hear it sooner, as I entered her room I took her from her nanny who looked very frustrated...I grap a baby blanket and took her downstairs....heading outside.
You need to see the face of the Gardeners....they were surprised...
Whose baby is that ....why is she making so much noise....she is screaming God that can give me a headache Mary-Anne said ..
You have a baby ...Mrs Gardner asked
I noticed my mother was trying to explain to them...
Oh so she is not only here on your generosity...her daughter is too, what a cheap girl Mary-Anne said
I am sure she doesn't know who the father of the child is...she just have being sleeping around Mrs Gardner said looking disgusted what a slut...
I ignored all of them and walked outside with Sunshine...as soon as we got outside her crying reduced ....then she looked around...
She then looked up at me ...hiccuping and kind of complaining...
I am sorry Sunny...I said to her hey look at the stars ..beautiful aren't they I asked
She looked at me angrily...like go away I am still angry with you.
I am sorry I said to her again ....she just held tightly to me and stared at my face.
I walked around with her ....after sometime I noticed she had slept off. Her eyes were swollen, her nose was red and she was still hiccuping.
Is she alright Katie asked I turned and saw herstanding behind us.
Yes she has fallen asleep...I don't know what upset her but she was really upset.
She came towards me and looked down at Sunshine in my arms ....
We walked together towards the house where I met my mother at the door ...who wasn't looking happy.
What happened to her she asked ...
I don't know ...but she is sleeping now I answered her.
You should have allowed someone else to tend to her, I had to start explaining to the Gardners and they weren't very happy when they were leaving....you just abounded them.
Mother you invited them ...you ..
Don't be ungrateful son, I am just trying to help you...you should be married by now and have your own child not tending to another man"s child
Mother ...that's so unfair Eric said looking angry
I was so uncomfortable standing there....I moved away heading to my room this was a talk that they need to have privately...
And where do you think you are going young lady, Mrs Crown asked Katie
I stopped and turned...I wanted to excuse myself..I didn't think I should be here when..
Yes you are right you should not be here at all...I was surprised. Mrs Crown has never spoken to me with this kind of tone before ....
It is high time you and your daughter get out of my son's life so he can be focused on his priorities...he is investing so much time on you and your daughter....
I am sor....
Sorry...sorry wouldn't get you out of here. Just get better and leave ...I don't have the heart to tell you to leave now since you are not fully well
I stood there with Sunshine in my arms, shocked at what my mother was saying...I couldn't believe it.
we will leave tomorrow Katie said, turned and walked toward her room ...
That's not what I meant, I ....my mother noticed nobody was listening to her because I had also walked toward the staircase heading to the nursery....
I tried to drop Sunshine on her bed twicw but she wouldn't agree, as soon as I drop her she starts crying again....I picked her up and told her nanny to gave me her sleep things ...
I took her to my room, laid down with her on my chest.
After sometime I heard a knock on my door, when the person came in I saw it was Katie...and I wondered how she climbed the stairs with her clutches.....I wanted to stay with her so she wouldn't disturb you anymore she said...
It's okay I said ...when she tried to take Sunshine from me she screamed..it mean she has not slept deep enough.
Why don't you stay with her here I asked Katie...
But this is your room...no no no let me take her to the nursery we will stay there.
But she doesn't want to be moved I said ....
We don't have to do everything she want she argued....we were arguing like two parents over our child it dawned on me.
Look let's all stay here, my bed is big enough I said
She thought about it...then said but your mother she asked ...she just said ....I don't want to cause anymore trouble.
If you have not noticed I am a big boy Katie I can make my own decisions...and when have you even caused trouble I asked
She laid down on the other side of my bed and I put Sunshine down in between us ....she cried little but we both soothed her and she slept....
I noticed that Katie was staring at me as I was going to jump on her at any time...
I don't bite...so please relax I told her.
After some time I could hear her even and calm breathing....she has fallen asleep...
I looked at the three of us on the bed, and I quite liked the idea....the three of us ....the family of three,...like a family .
It's not impossible...and an idea started to grow in my head....it wouldn't be a bad idea if...
