Alpha's Journey [h.s.]

Chapter 23

              193 Days Without Calla

"M-Mommy!" Amelia babbled, tugging on my arms.

"Baby I already took you to see her twice today." I yawn tiredly.

Ever since I took Amelia to see Calla at the hospital that's all she's been wanting to do. She bugs me for hours and hours until I finally give in but today I was not having her bullshit.

"D-Da s-see M-Mommy." She says a little louder and I sigh loudly.

"Not today Amelia." I whisper.

"M-Mommy! M-Mommy!" She starts to pound her tiny fists on my chest.

"Stop." I growl holding her arms.

"Wan M-Mommy!" She screams at the top of her lungs.

"That's it!" I pick her up and walk over to her crib. Quickly I lay her down in it.

"Go to sleep." I grind my teeth together.

She starts to cry and kick her legs in protest.

"No! No! No!" She chants.

"I swear to God Amelia if you don't stop being a spoiled little brat then you're going on a time out." I warn her. She looks at me for a minute before screaming bloody murder.

"WAN M-MOMMY! WAN MOMMY!" I cover my ears at her loud shriek.

"For God sake Amelia." I say.

"What the hell is going on in here?" A voice says from behind me. I turn around to see Liam coming through the door.

"Come get your fucking niece Liam." I curse, backing away from the crib.

"Why? What's wrong with her?" He asks walking up to me.

"She's wants to see Calla but I've taking her too many times today and she won't shut the hell up." I cover my face.

"I see." He nods his head slowly.

"Please make her shut the fuck up." I beg.

"Harry." He scolds me.

"What? I'm fucking tired and you know I get irritated when I'm tired." I rub my eyes.

"I know that but you have to remember that she's just a baby." He picks her up.

"I don't give a damn if she was the president of the United States! She won't stop." I throw my hands up.

He rolls his eyes and starts to bounce Amelia up and down.

"Shh, shh, it's okay darling. Ignore your daddy he's just being a little grumpy." I scoff.

"Yeah I'm the grumpy one."

"How about you take a little nap?" He asks her and she just sniffles.

"Back down you go." He lays her back in her crib and turns on the mobile.

"Sleepy time baby." He smiles gently and Amelia let's out a little yawn before closing her eyes slowly.

"Good girl." Liam slowly backs away.

"Thank god." I take a deep breath.

"Your welcome." Liam smiles smugly.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem."

"Why did you come over here?" I ask him.

"Well I was just passing by when I heard a loud shriek and decided to come investigate. You're lucky it was just me who came and not some stranger because I'm pretty sure they would have called someone." He laughs.

"Yeah and then I'd kick their ass."

"So violent." He shakes his head.

"Whatever."

"Do you wanna go do something why she's out?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I'm going to go take a nap." I get off the couch and head for the stairs.

"Alright I guess I should get home anyways, see you later." I nod.

"Later."

"D-Da."

I shake my head and snuggle more into the covers.

"D-Da!" The voice gets louder.

Just ignore it Harry, maybe it'll go away.

"Da! Da!" It shrieks.

Fuck.

I open my eyes to see Amelia in the doorway staring at me.

How the hell?

"How did you get up here?" I give her a dazed look.

"M-Mommy." Was all she says.

I look down at her pajamas to see a little dirt on her knees.

She crawled up the stairs.

But how did she get out of her crib?

It must have taken her awhile to get up here.

"Jesus fucking christ." I rub the sleep out of my eyes.

"M-Mommy...D-Da." She tells me and I groan loudly.

"Not this shit again." I say.

"M-Mommy! M-Mommy! Mommy!' She starts to chant over and over again and that's when I snapped.

"GOD DAMMIT AMELIA, MOMMY IS GONE AND SHE'S NEVER COMING BACK!" I scream at her.

In less then five seconds she bursts into tears and my eyes widen.

Fuck.
