Chapter Fourteen

AN: Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry it's been a while! I've been kind of going through some real life things. Either way. I applied to go to Uni this year! (Or College) Our first semseter starts in Feb over here so hopefully I hear back from them all soon! Life update over, thank you for the support and the likes! You guys are amazing and my motivation to keep writing!  Loves. Without any further delay. Here it goes! From Third person/ Axel, well a short blurb.

Shocked was his reaction to the little girl that ran up to him was the first emotion he had felt. When Axel picked the little girl up he was certain of one thing. He wanted to be her father and dad. The second was how the hell can he accomplish that? Everything in his life had been easy, and anything that seemed to concern Elizabeth was a mountain he had to climb, with no equipment. The fatherly feelings didn't come to him like he thought they would. He had to actively try and put effort into reading the story for Athena. He battled his anger trying to hold it within himself when the child was with him. He could feel Ellies eyes on him the whole time and felt that she was judging everything he had done. When she came into the room though, she glided easily in. Axel felt a slight envy grow in him watching at how naturally being a mother had come to her,

That's because she's had a few extra years to practice!

A snide voice snapped at him in his mind. Anger he couldn't control started to grow through him and they needed to leave before he could explode and scare the little girl. His heart softened at the interaction between mother and daughter. He could tell with a single glance that the pair doted and loved each other deeply.

When they were out of the room it seemed that it was an unwritten agreement that they needed space to talk, or yell. It struck him at how odd this situation was. He didn't even know this woman, yet he was ultimately a business partner and they shared a child. That possibility hadn't ever crossed his mind. He had heard about the Lawson temper, what he didn't expect was that such a tiny thing like Ellie, could hit so hard and scream even louder than her size. He didn't understand her pain or suffering, he had only been thinking about himself. She had been thinking of every aspect, and Axel felt like an ass to see that he hadn't even thought about his daughter in the process of being angry about not being able to see her.

When Axel woke in the morning Ellie was curled into his side. Her eyes puffy and her breathing ragged. She had seemed exerted completely. He felt an affection for her grow in the pit of his stomach and was unsure how to handle it. He'd never spent a night with a woman doing, well, nothing sexual. Something inside him told him this was right though. He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes surrendering to sleep and it's growing pull.

It was so warm. My eyes were heavy and content to stay closed, what alarmed me was the very warmth I had been enjoying was moving, breathing and had a heartbeat. I was in arms that circled my waist and swaddled me tightly, feeling comfort I had never felt before. I fought with the logical part of my mind that told me that I was in the arms of a one night stand. Memories slowly flooded into my mind, I sat up quickly and pulled away from the warm arms wrapped around me. I gasped a little and opened my mouth to yell at Axel to get the hell out of my bed when I noticed the door opening. I watched as Athena walked into the room, eyes closed and tears streaming down her face. She let out a misreable sob and I felt my heart lurch at the intensity of her sadness,

"He's gone..." She whimpered.

I looked at the sleeping figure of Axel and wondered how he managed to stay asleep with me pulling away so violently and the crying of my daughter... our daughter. I slipped out of the bed, realising that I was still in my ball gown I scowled at the wrinkles in it but ignored it as I ran toward my baby and scooped her up into my arms hugging and cooing at her,
