Chapter 5
Typical Mitchell ran. I thought
as I put my hand over his side of the bed and it was uneven and unmade. I sat up to get Victoria , as I
focused looking into her crib. Only she was not in her crib! Shit! He kidnapped her! My eyes widen
and my blood ran cold as I fully woke up and shot out of bed. I walked out of
the bedroom and found both and her on my couch. He was sleeping along with her.
Victoria on his chest, her head on his heart. One big hand on her small
body, other one on her small head. I let out a steady breath, it's ok Coals, relax she is safe.
I looked around
my apartment, it was very cold, and empty feeling. It was only a little over a
week before Christmas and I didn't have a tree up. Maybe today I could find a
fake tree and put it up. I never had a reason to celebrate Christmas since I
was at Melissa's every year. Not this year, no call no email to say when she
was having her big annual Christmas party.
I walked into my
kitchen and put on the coffee, it was a while since I had any. I rubbed my arms
trying to shake off the cold. I opened my fridge and I looked at the milk, it
smell horrible. Great Coals, six days in
as a mom and you forgot about the milk. My subconscious remarks.
I looked over at
Mitchell still passed out. Should I wake him? Nah. He is here, he can sleep, I
just have to lock the door. I pulled on my coat over top of my pyjama's and put
on my winter boots. I left a note saying that I was going to the store to get
milk. I walked out the door and locked it.

Just as I was
paying for my milk and cereal, I got a call from Mitchell.
"Where are
you? Somebody woke up hungry and she is not happy." His voice full of
panic, I smiled at the thought of him fussing over her.
"Hang on I
will be home a minute, I went for milk." I told him as I heard my daughter
whimpers over the phone line.
"Give five
minutes I will be home." I clicked off my phone.
Five minutes
later I came into my front door, and Victoria had a
full on sob going.
"Ok sweetie
mommy home." Mitchell cooed to her as soon as I put my bag down.
He handed her
over to me as I rocked her for a few seconds. I made my way over to the couch
and sat down. I pulled up my pyjama top and pulled my breast for Victoria . Her
cries slowed down then stopped. Mitchell sat back beside me and looked into my
eyes. He then looked down at my breast hanging out as our daughter suck
greedily.
"Maybe I was
wrong, maybe I could give this dad thing a shot. I know how much she means to
you, just I can't sleep in the same bed as you. I can help you with her. Just,
I don't know how but every time I look at her, she has me under her little
spell."
He rubbed her
little head with his big hand.
"You can
sleep out here, I can do nightly feedings in my room."
"Why not
move in with me?" He cut me as I said it. I looked at him.
"Why? I have
my business here, my friends here, my sister, everything my life is here not in
Calgary ."
He turned his wolfish grinned onto me.
"I don't
live in Calgary anymore. I moved out here I do more financial for my family's
company out here and my brother takes care of the land and stock. He is more
into that slow lifestyle. I'm not." He rubbed Victoria 's head
again, getting me very uncomfortable.
"Ok knock it
off, I had a baby, I'm just." Mitchell looked into my eyes as he looked at
my lips, as he placed his lips on mine.
Fuck he was good.
