William looked at the baby girl in the cradle, he had woken up to get his milk to find a baby on his doorstep. He noticed there was a envelope in her hand, he took the envelope from the baby as gently and quietly as he could. He felt like he was in one of those movie where the parents would leave their child in another family's doorstep to take care of the child. He didn't know why he was afraid of reading a letter after all it was just a letter.
He opened the envelope and started to read the letter, his eyes widen when he read about the birth of his daughter. He didn't know how to take care of baby, you can ask anyone who knew him, he wasn't good with kids hell he can't take care of his nephew well how can she expect him to take care of his own flesh and blood. He smiled when he read her name, he liked that name and looking at her, he could see how well it suited her.
He took the cradle inside, his little sister is going to ask him a lot of questions about Hermione and he didn't know how to explain to her. He glanced at the sleeping baby, he could see a bit of Sofia in her or was it Athena, he didn't know what to call her now that he knew who she was but he was grateful to her. His parents didn't had enough money to send him to university and Sofia/Athena had somehow gotten him a scholarship to Oxford.
He smiled when he saw tuft of curly brown hair and thought of how he was going to explain to his parents that they had a granddaughter when he never introduced Athena to them. He glanced at Hermione and noticed that her eyes were the same shade of chestnut brown eyes as him. The only thing strange about his daughter was how much it was shining with intelligence and was asking him where is her food. He ran through his curly brown hair and called his sister.
"William do you know what time is it?" asked his annoyed sister, he didn't know how his sister always seemed to know who was calling her.
"I am sorry for calling you this early in the morning Renny but listen I am bit of a pickle," William said to Renee. His sister was the only one who he can ask in a time like this and keep a secret from their parents. His sister groaned when she heard his reason but didn't hang up on him like his other siblings. Renee will be the first one to admit that she respected her brother, he was the only one from their family that actually wanted to go to University.
"What is it?" asked Renee yawning. He thought about what he was about to explained and decided that for his sake and his sister's that he better lie because he couldn't tell her that the woman who had helped him go to one of the best universities in the country had given him a child and that the child was born from his and Athena thoughts no that will make him sound crazy.
"Well you know about Sofia, well turns out we had a child together and well she can't take care of her and now I am going to take care of her so, I need your help now because I need milk for a baby" explained William closing his eyes waiting for her screaming at him. Renee said the first thing in her mind and that was how the bloody hell did this happen.
"I didn't know she was pregnant Renny until I found her in my doorstep today so I need your help please when did I ever ask you for anything," William begging his sister. She sighed and told him she will be there as soon as she can. He looked at Hermione who was looking at him with that look. He knew one thing was for sure and that was he could never cursed ever again.
"So this is my new niece," said Renee coming up from behind him. He clutched his chest and nodded at her. Renee looked at the baby girl in discomfort, she could definitely see Sophia in her when she saw the way Hermione was staring at her. She had met Sophia once and she can say that the older woman scared her not by the way she talked but the way she stared at you.
She took out the baby bottle and started to do the baby formula as her brother played with his daughter. She smiled softly at the sight of her brother playing peekaboo with Hermione, her brother didn't know it but Hermione had him wrapped around her tiny pinkie.
"Here is your milk," said Renee handing him the milk bottle. He smiled at her and gave the milk to Hermione, he knew that his sister didn't like the way that Hermione was staring at her but she would get used to it. He didn't know why Athena decided to name her Hermione after all the names she could have given her but Hermione, he wanted to know the story behind that.
"So how are you going to explained to Mom and Dad?" asked Renee taking Hermione away from him. He frowned, he didn't know how to explained his parents about his daughter or his mother but he was going to try to be the best father to her and he would make sure that no male will come near her and if they break his daughter heart then he will find that bastard and break his legs.
"I haven't seen you like this not even when I was dating David," Renee said to William in amusement. Her brother scowled when he heard that name, her fiancé wasn't good enough for her and will never be. He didn't know what his sister sees in him that man was nothing but trouble.
"I truly pity the guy that is going to date her," said Renee looking at Hermione. William scowled at her, his daughter wasn't going to date until she was forty if he had his way but with Athena as a mother his daughter would definitely give him a debate about why she should date.
He looked at his daughter eyes and knew that he is going to need to find a nanny while he was at work and a good one at that.
