Fake Daddy (The Single Brothers 2)

Then Chad said, “Ivy, baby. You okay to do this?”

I could hear someone ask if I’d eaten today and Chad admitted no. I whispered, “No.”

Not sure if I could go ahead with this or not, I felt so weak as I remembered not wanting to eat last night, too. There was something that had clenched my hunger lately, but I thought that I wasn’t eating the right things and I just had so much gas. Kylie said that it happened sometimes, so I’d been resting. Not eating. Whenever I was awake, I just felt stressed like right now.

“Ivy, I’m Dr. Chun. If you like we can give you a C-Section if you’re too weak to do this. The baby’s starting to get distressed, and we can’t hold on any longer,” Dr. Chun said as he came closer to me and flashed a light in my eyes probably to see if I was conscious. I was awake, but just barely.

I erased all negative thoughts from my mind and shouted as if I’d gained a surge of energy from somewhere. I wanted to ask where Hazel was. I needed to apologize to Noah, and that allowed me to focus on doing this myself. I didn’t want to be cut open. I had it in my mind to have a natural birth, and that was exactly what I intended to do today.

“I’m ready!”

“Good. Let’s do this,” Dr. Chun said, and I could feel Chad’s hand enveloping mine, so I gripped it so fucking tightly.

I didn’t hesitate in squeezing his hand every single time Dr. Chun said, “Push!”

I squeezed it so tight and ignored him screaming like a baby as I pushed with all my might.

Then Dr. Chun would tell me to hold back and then I would push again. God, I’d done this all before. Less than three years ago, but this felt different as if I’d never been through the experience before because if I remembered it being so fucking painful, I would have tied my tubes up. Why did women keep going back for this sort of pain?

Chad was the one that was screaming like a baby!

So, I squeezed his fucking hand even harder the next time Dr. Chun said to push. Every time he yelled it, not only was I pushing harder, but I was gripping Chad’s hand tighter.

“Baby, you can do it,” he squealed. I bet he would think twice about having more kids. I bet after this experience he would be the one to get the snip. That was if he had a hand left after I finished with it.

“The head, that’s the hardest part. I just need you to finish the job. Push as if your life depends on it!” Dr. Chun screamed out, and then I did exactly what he told me to do. I pushed so fucking hard that I felt as if I screamed the whole delivery room back to life. That was when everyone in the room started to laugh. It was the end of the delivery. The only person that wasn’t laughing was Chad as he screamed out after I let go of his hand, “My fucking hand!”

I turned to see him shaking it, and it was bright red. I realized that maybe I went a little over the top, squeezing his hand.

Dr. Chun beamed, “Congratulations! You have a baby girl.”

Doctor Chun repeated, “Sorry Ivy, it’s not over. I just need one little push from you.”

I nodded, remembering about the after birth and Kylie told me that it was nothing compared to getting the head out. So, I shouldn’t worry about it and as I pushed. I felt the contents spill from my pussy and realized that she was right. It wasn’t as painful.

I couldn’t believe that I was the mother of two girls. Chad was still shaking his hand and trying to breathe life into it. Doctor Chun appeared by his side and said, “Here let me look at it.”

Great, I was the one that just had the fucking baby, and he was the one that wanted attention. Until Doctor Chun said, “You better not piss her off. I think that she fractured your hand.”

Shit!

I tried to smile as the guilt of having hurt him so badly entered my mind.

I smiled awkwardly, “Sorry Chad.”

He shook his head trying to keep a straight face.

“It’s nothing compared to what you just went through.”

The nurse came over to me and gave me our baby. I love Hazel with all my heart, but this time it felt different. Just having a dad that wanted to be a part of it. Someone who wanted to know their daughter. Chad had even started the process of officially adopting Hazel. Danny was more than happy to do it. He said that it meant that he didn’t have to pay child support. How bad is that? That was all her birth father could think about while signing her over.

Things were going to be different now. I had a family and friends. Something that I thought that I had back in Chicago, but I never did. Since I’ve been here, only Chloe’s come to visit me. The guys at the law firm don’t even keep in touch.

“Ivy, I know what I want us to name her,” Chad said as Dr. Chun wrapped up his hand with a bandage and said that he would take him for an X-ray afterward.

Chad had been going through so many boy names. After convincing himself that I had one daughter that there was no way that it would happen again. I wasn’t sure why he thought that, but I let him ride with it. He was excited about being a dad, and for some crazy reason, I thought that maybe having a Chad Junior may have made him feel that way.

“What?” I blurted out as my eyes darted from him to our perfect little girl.

“Hope. Because that was where we first met. Hope school and maybe starting her name with an H, too, would make it known that Hazel and Hope are both my daughters. I don’t want her to feel any different about Hope being born.”

I smiled at him, “She already calls you dad.”

He nodded, “I know, but maybe, later on, she’ll feel differently. Besides, Danny could change his mind and come back into our lives.”

I didn’t think that was a possibility; the man had shown no interest until now. I doubted that he would turn around and want to have a father of the year award. I smiled at Chad and said, “You’re a pretty amazing man.”

He nodded, “So, I’ve been told. So, Hope it is?”

I agreed, “Hope. What a beautiful name.”

And then I planted a kiss on her head, and Chad did the same as Dr. Chun carted him off to see his hand. I hoped that his hand was bruised and not fractured as I sat down and thought about my new life not only being good but fucking brilliant. I couldn’t ask for more. I wouldn’t have to because I finally had everything I needed in my home town.

###The End###

Coming soon!

The third book in the Single Daddy series. This story is about Noah’s other best friend, Dan. He finds out that he’s a daddy, by accident in Accidental Daddy!

About Accidental Daddy…

I saw my ex going into the clinic.

I started to panic. She said that she wanted a baby and I said that I wanted out.

While I was sitting in the clinic trying to act like James Bond, a spy, I didn’t notice the girl next to me.

She kept talking, and I nodded as if I was paying attention.

The same thing I used to do whenever my ex wanted to talk.

The next thing I knew she said that she was going to the bathroom.

My ex came out from seeing the doctor.

The nurse called me and said that I’d forgotten something.

I looked down and realized that she was talking about the baby.

I pointed to the bathroom and told them that its mom was in there. The nurse said that she left soon after. There was no one in the bathroom. To make matters worse, the nurse said that I came in with the woman and spent the whole time talking to her.

They wanted to arrest me for neglecting my baby. Saying that it was clear that I was with the woman and now I want out.

I tried to save face by saying that it was all a simple mistake.

I took the baby home.

Now, I’m accidentally a daddy. The one thing that I never wanted to be, even on purpose.

As I try and trace her mom, I soon realize that maybe it wasn’t an accident at all.
