Daddy or Daddies?

Going back to sleep

I open my eyes to the light coming into the room from the window. I stretch and realize that I am inside a crib, with a cast on my leg, wearing nothing but a piece of shirt that does not belong to me. There is a stuffie and a paci lying next to me. I try to make sense of where am I and what's going on when Daniel comes into the room.

He looks at me waiting to say something. I stare at him as last night comes crashing down on my memory. This can't be real. Lol! I must be dreaming. I hate doctors. My leg is fine. I am dreaming. Once I wake up the crib, my cast and Daniel will go away.

Daniel's Pov

I look at Rose, waiting for her to say something. To react. She looks at me like she was in a trance and then laughs to herself and goes back to sleep.

"Umm.. Rosalie, are you fine?" I ask her.

She opens her eyes to look at me. She has got beautiful brown eyes.

"no no. I know this is all a dream, hottie. I am sleeping and when I wake up and it will be all gone. Poof!" she says and closes her eyes and starts taking deep breaths.

I can't help but chuckle at her adorableness.

"Rosie, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but you are wide awake and not in a dream. This is all real. I am for real." I tell her gently.

"No! No!" she insists and tries going back to sleep.

I roll my eyes and try not to laugh.

I pick her up in my arms. She looks at me dumb f****d. She feels my hands making sure that I am real.

"Let's have breakfast okay? I made pancakes. You like pancakes?" I ask trying to distract her.

"this is real? I slipped and hurt my leg?" she asks her beautiful eyes quickly filling up with tears.

Oh. Oh. Please don't cry baby heart.

"shh.. Shhh.. It's okay love. You will be fine. Everything will be fine." I rub her back and hold her in my arms as she calms down.

After a while, we eat pancakes. I want to cut it into little pieces and feed it to her but I hold myself back not wanting to upset my girl even further.

"Here, drink this. You will feel better." I hand her a glass of orange juice.

She gulps it down. She must be thirsty.

"Umm.. Thank you for everything Daniel. I will just change and take you a leave now. Sorry for all the trouble." she says.

Don't go! I scream inside my head as words refuse to come out.
