Daddy's Little Angel novel Chapter 55

News does fly...

News about Nora and her lies is all over the internet. I don't know how she's dealing and truthfully, I don't care .

News of Angel's accident is also out, coupled with a few whispers about her pregnancy. I don't know how this even got out.

Mum hasn't been able to accept the fact that Angel isn't her child. She is by no means ready to give up her parental rights on Angel to her biological mother which is understandable.

As for me, I'm just tired of it all. It's been a rollercoaster ride. I just want to see Angel open those blue for me. Will she just give up on our love and child? I'll follow her in death if she does.

I want my love back and this torture to end soon.

I still find it hard to believe that all this years of believing Angel was my daughter is all nothing but a sham.

I don't know how to feel knowing our love story could have gone much smoother if this vital information was revealed sooner. Maybe Angel won't be stuck to this damn hospital bed unmoving with no date of waking up maybe my parents won't have been so torn and in despair. Maybe Nora wouldn't have been in the picture at all. Angel and I could have been married with kids too . Yet at the same time, the thought of Angel not being my daughter makes the father in me upset. I don't know what to feel. Relief that with this revelation we can love each more openly or sad that about losing my child? Angry at being played for a fool?

I never considered having a DNA test done. We were each others first and Angel was a striking image of her mum. Even the time she took in to the time she gave birth was accurate. I just believed blindly. I wouldn't have envisioned Mary being drug rapped at some party and she then leaving all the responsibility on me. She didn't look like such a person...but well, I must be a bad judge of character cause I almost fell into the same pit again with Nora.

I don't regret having met Angel though. She's the best thing that has happened to me so far...

It's been a month and two weeks now.

And there isn't any sign of her waking anytime soon.

Looking at her on the bed from my sitting position, I take her hand in mine as I decided to talk to her for the first time whether she's consious or not.

"Baby, it's me Jack..." I began with a small voice.

"I don't know if I'm doing this right but damn it! I miss talking to you it hurts...

It kills me that all I can do is wait while you fight alone to get through this.

If only we could switch places, I would in a heartbeat." I say holding onto her hand much tighter."

"Babe, a whole lot has happened since your absence. I know you love gossip so I'll fill you in. I let out a small chuckle at the end, envisioning how she would pout at this if she were consious enough. But bitterness set in as I soon remember I may never see any sort of expression on her face in a long time. With a bitter smile I continued to speak while I run my hands through her hair.

"Nora had put to bed and it turned out the baby isn't mine. I know you're going to say;

" I told you she ain't much of a saint but you wouldn't listen"

Yes, I'm an idiot. Your idiot who you are stuck with for life. Deal with it.

Guess who called out of the blue about two weeks ago love? You wouldn't believe it.

It your mother, Mary. You must be very shocked right? I was more than shocked.

I went to see her. She's very ill... She doesn't have much time left...

Love, you know what?

Looking at the shell of a woman who used to look exactly like you, made me feel sick. I never want to see you like that ever. So please for my sake and that of our child, fight your way back to me...

I Love you so much. I cant wait to hear your voice again. I miss everything about you. Our fights, your nagging, your beautiful blues, your jokes , you parading around our home in nothing but your flimsy undergarments... Home is just not home without your laughter filling the room and the arouma of your deliciously made dishes . We all miss you love. Mum and Dad had been worried sick. Nicole and her kids come here every day and leave teary eyed. They even begged that I go find your one true love to give you a kiss of life or something like that. They kept mentioning it had to do with sleeping beauty? I was so confused. It was Nicole who explained it all to me with teary eyes and huge grin. I couldn't even cry. It was all just mixed feelings seeing the kids having so much hope.

You know what was worse?

I told them I was your one true love and of 'cause they didn't believe me saying I was not your boyfriend but they still asked me to kiss you anyways. We all know how that turned out cause you're still here...they cried even more, shooting daggers my way.

Right now we all are waiting for a miracle...

Angel do you know I'm not your real dad? We aren't related in any way. I was so shocked when Mary told me this truth. I had mixed feelings. Hurt, happiness, and relief.

All along fate and Mary played a sad bitter joke on us both. Things could have been much more simpler if we knew earlier that the only string tying us together was siblings through adoption. Do you think our love story would have been different that way?... Maybe mum wouldn't have had a hard time accepting it and you wouldn't have ended up like this.

I'm so so sorry love...I'm weak, a coward.

I wasn't strong enough. I should have disagreed with mum and dads decision. We are adults and I had more right over critical decisions concerning you than any of them.

It's just, seeing mum in the state she was in got me all muddle headed and torn. She wasn't supposed to find out like that. But what I'm I playing at? No matter when or how I told her, she was going to react the same way.
