Chapter 6. Re-Connecting with Her

Daxton's offer touched Aurora. When Leo's own father had never ever wanted to see him, here Daxton wanted to take him in his arms. The sweet gesture overwhelmed her and made her hope for the impossible.

"It's okay, Daxton, I can manage," said Aurora, as Leo howled more. She didn't want to force anyone to help her. She had pulled it on her own for so long and she could pull it further with no sympathy.

Daxton reached out and took him in his arms. "You can get his medicine," he insisted. Aurora left to go into her bedroom. There wasn't any nursery since Seth and Lara were using the spare bedroom. She came out with the medicine bottle when her eyes fell upon Daxton.

He was rocking Leo and making cute noises and talking to him. Strangely, Leo had stopped howling and was watching him with wonder in his baby-blue eyes.

"You're so good with kids. It seems you're quite experienced," said Aurora with a smile. Daxton turned towards her with a gurgling Leo in his arms.
