I got carried away with this chapter. I also got a new idea for a new story so I'll maybe start that or give you a hint about it next chapter if I get atleast 5 reviews for this chapter =]
It was two days later and we could finally bring Emerson home. Daniella was cradling a sleeping Emerson in her arms as the doctor spoke.
"You must watch her progress and make sure that her stitches don't get infected. Make sure she doesn't touch there a lot and try to keep her mobility a bit limited. I'm assuming one of you will be staying home from school for a few days so just make sure she's getting enough fluids and is eating properly."
"Thank you doctor." I smiled and I walked towards the exit with my family.
.LINEBREAK.
"Welcome back Lovebug." I murmured quietly as Dani carried in Emerson.
"I'm going to put her down in the nursery so she can rest. Can you go make me something to eat please?" She asked as she yawned.
"Absolutely then we can maybe take a nap because you look exhausted."
She hummed in agreement and I headed to the kitchen. I clicked the phone messages so I could listen to them as I made Daniella her sandwich.
"You have one message."
"Hello, this is Phillip Montgomery…Daniella's dad. I just wanted to call and check up on you. Make sure you don't live in a box. I would also like to have a conversation face to face with you and Kendall. Please call my assistant and she'll pencil you in."
"Kendall who was that?" Dani sauntered into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around me; her face smooshed against my chest.
"Your dad." I whispered as I felt her stiffen.
"What…what did he want?"
"Just to check up on you and he wants to see us. Do you want to go?"
"Not really but I should, he is my father."
I nodded and finished making her sandwich. She gave me half and we ate in silence.
"I'll call after I finish eating." She whispered.
"Whenever you're ready baby. Do you want me to be there when you do?"
"No, I'll do it alone. I'm just nervous." She said as she finished her half of the sandwich.
"You'll be fine." I reassured as I cleared the table.
"I'll be back in a few." She kissed my cheek, grabbed the portable and headed into the bedroom.
I ran to the bathroom and started running the bath water as I lit some candles. Daniella deserved a relaxing evening. I let the tub fill almost to the top, turned on some quiet jazz for background music and dimmed the lights. I went to check on her in the bedroom and I could vaguely hear her yelling.
A few moments later she emerged and dived into my arms.
"What's wrong?" I mumbled as I repeatedly kissed the top of her head.
"He is such an asshole. I hate him."
"What happened?"
"He yelled at me for making his assistant put me through to him. He was in a meeting and I interrupted it. I invited him over tomorrow because I don't want to take Emerson out yet. He wants to go to that fancy Italian restaurant in the next town over but I told him no and he yelled at me for that too."
"Calm down baby. I set up a bath for you so that will help you relax."
"Join me?"
I smiled and I led her to the bathroom. We both removed our clothes and I got in first. She climbed in and sat in-between my legs and reclined back onto my chest.
"This is just what I needed." She said and I just hummed in agreement. I started to rub her back and shoulders and she would let out little breathy moans of enjoyment.
"This was a great idea baby."
"I know but we have to get out soon. I want to check on Emmy." I mumbled as I kissed her cheek.
"We'll have to do this again." She said as she pulled the plug so the tub would drain as she got out and wrapped a towel around herself.
I got out and also wrapped a towel around me and headed towards the bedroom with Dani. We got dressed and I laced my fingers with hers as we went to check on Emerson.
"She looks peaceful." I said as Dani leaned against her back against my chest.
"I'm glad. She's been to hell and back so she deserves to sleep well."
"We have the perfect daughter."
"We're lucky. Could you imagine if we had an uncontrollable child or if we didn't want her and forced your mom to raise her for us? We're good parents too." Dani said as she brought our interlaced fingers up to her mouth and kissed mine.
"She has a great mother, that's why she's so amazing."
"A good father is very important to a young girl, trust me." I knew there was more behind her words but I just nodded and pulled her towards the bedroom.
.LINEBREAK.
"When will your father be here?" I mumbled into the top of her head as we laid in bed.
"He didn't say. I'm assuming later today."
"So…do we have time for a quickie?"
"Kendall! You're such a horndog. Emmy's in the next room."
"She's asleep and I can be quiet…can you?" I smirked as I moved her so she straddled me.
We went at it for a while, her body bouncing on mine, but we suddenly stopped when we heard a thud in the kitchen.
"Ken…Kenny what was that?" she barely got out as she panted.
"Not sure… I'll check." I reluctantly "dismounted" her from me and headed into the kitchen.
"Hello?" I called out.
"Who's that?" a gruff voice asked.
I came face to face with Dani's dad.
"Mr. Montgomery." I smiled awkwardly as I was just standing in my boxers, hair a mess.
"Kendall…why aren't you wearing clothes?"
"I…uh…sir…you see…" I stuttered but was interrupted by Dani descending down the stairs.
"Baby? Was anyone here? Come back to bed…I can handle a few more rounds of your big sexy...Oh hi daddy!" Dani turned a shade of red I've never seen before.
"Daniella. I suggest you put on pants and not just your underwear, bra and Kendall's shirt and then come back and greet me properly. You too Kendall. Bring the accident too." Dani's dad commanded as he went to sit on the couch while looking at his blackberry.
I ran up to the bedroom with Dani who face planted into the bed.
"That was the most embarrassing thing ever!" she spoke into the bed.
"I know! Your father knows we had sex!"
"Just get dressed quickly and let's try and make it through this breakfast."
"You want to get Emmy or me?"
"You… show him that you're a good dad, which you are, but so he respects you more."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too baby, no matter what happens today." She mumbled against my lips.
"It can't be that bad."
"My dad's a CEO of a company and is very persuasive and judgmental…you will need all the luck you can get." She gave me a small shrug as she headed into the bathroom and I then face planted onto the bed.
"I have a bad feeling about this." I mumbled to myself.
.LINEBREAK.
"Good morning Emerson! Did you sleep well?"
"Da." She mumbled tiredly.
"You must be exhausted baby. Time to go meet your grandfather."
I hugged her to my chest and headed down the stairs where I saw Philip and Dani in the kitchen.
"Baby can you get me a baby Tylenol? She feels a bit hot." I asked Dani.
"My poor baby." She got the medicine and helped me give it to Emerson and kissed her forehead.
"This is Emerson Harper Knight, your granddaughter." I brought Emerson over to Philip but he didn't even look up from his blackberry.
"That's good. Can you please hurry up and cook my eggs. I have a meeting in an hour."
"Sure dad." Dani mumbled but I could hear her voice tremble.
"So Philip why did you want to see Dani?" I asked as I snuggled Emerson into my chest.
"Just wanted to check in and let her know that her mother moved away to California."
"Did she leave a number?" Dani demanded.
"She told me not to give it to you. She says good luck with everything that you do and she left behind $20.00 for Emerson. It's in your account."
"But…but…how?" Dani was crying so I went over to her and kissed her cheek.
"Ma." Emmy reached out and I transferred her to Dani.
"Stop crying and finish my damn eggs, you're wasting my time."
"Excuse me. You do not talk to Daniella like that and I would appreciate it if you didn't curse in front of my daughter." I scolded.
"Don't tell me what to do son. I am her father."
"That doesn't give you the right to speak down to her. She can make her own decisions, she's independent, and she's a mother."
"Listen Kendall, I can cut her off and stop supporting her and that could cause very bad things for you and her so I suggest you sit down and shut up."
"That is enough! Kendall calm down and dad, here are your eggs." Daniella placed his meal in front of him and gave me a warning glance."
"These eggs are terrible." Philip spat the eggs he was eating into a napkin and glared at Dani.
"Sorry dad."
"You leave our house for about a year and a half and you forget how I like my eggs. You will make a terrible wife."
"How about you hold Emerson." Dani suggested.
"I guess." He muttered and I handed Emerson to him.
"She's a bit fussy and hasn't been feeling well." I warned.
Emmy looked up at Philip and looked unsure.
"It's okay Lovebug." I reassured.
"She looks nothing like a Montgomery."
"She is part Knight Dad." Dani reassured.
"She should look more like you Daniella."
"Maybe the next one." Dani joked.
"I don't want you to have any more demon sins."
"That's not fair dad."
"I don't care. You ruined your life already, you don't need another one. You can either stick with just one and I'll support you or have more children and never see or hear from me again."
"Get out now. I never want to see you again. How could you treat me like this? When I lived with you I felt like I was in prison. You wouldn't let me out of the house, you wouldn't let me do anything fun. You forced me to study and make you and mom dinner. I felt more like a maid than a daughter."
"You were a mistake when you were born so we needed to put you to work somehow. We never wanted you. We let you have a little bit of freedom and you go and get pregnant. Have you told Kendall what we did to you or did you never want to speak of it again?" Philip chuckled evilly.
"Go to hell." Dani seethed as she ran to our bedroom.
"Ma." Emmy whimpered then suddenly threw up on Philip's suit.
"Evil child just like your mother."
I grabbed her from him and I was ready to explode.
"How dare you say those things to Daniella? She has been through enough. Fuck you and I never want to hear from you again."
"Then I'm going to stop supporting Dani. Making ends meet will be hard."
"We'll be fine now please leave before I make you."
He scoffed and slammed the door when he left. Emmy was screaming and I could hear Dani sobbing.
"I knew today was going to end terribly." I muttered to myself."Shh. Emmy it's okay. Let's go make mommy feel better."
I walked towards the bedroom but it was locked.
"Dani let me in."
"No. nobody wants me."
"Don't cut Daniella please."
I heard her whimper then I heard silence. I busted through the door.
"Daniella!"
