Chapter 3:
oooo
Ianto winced as Haley let out a whimper, fearing of the bawling cries that would follow.
While he had spent two very busy days with movers bringing all of Haley's things from her nursery at her mother's home to his, he had spent hours with his new daughter. It was obvious though that the little girl missed her mother as much as he missed Lisa and Ianto had to struggle not to cry alongside the little girl.
He stood staring at the fussing girl in her crib. She looked so much like him, too much. It only added to his guilt complex.
"Please don't cry," Ianto begged her. "I know how you feel, how you miss your mam. I'm lonely too. And no one else cares. But it is just us now. I wish you did have someone better to take care of you, but there's only me."
Haley blinked, her blue eyes were bright with unshed tears. Then the whimpers stopped.
Ianto took one of her fists and laid a soft kiss on it then giving her a short, sad smile.
"Can you be a bit patient with me? I'll try to do my best," he promised her. And he would truly try. He had books, his sister would help as soon as he told him. All he had to do is pick up his pieces. He was not alone anymore and Haley could not understand about aliens and lost loves yet. Ianto knew he would have to let go of all his hurt, pain and anger and focus all his attention and emotions to his young daughter.
He really hoped he did not mess up. This mistake would not come with a second chance.
oooo
