Added into Daddy’s Life

Chapter 33

Michael's P.O.V.

Mya has been acting really weird lately. She's been zoning out and she's been very forgetful. I gave her

her medicine like Susan said and it actually did calm her down. However, she's just acting...different.

she often mumbles to herself but when I asked her about it she just says that she's talking to Jamie. I

don't know what that means but she said he was her friend.

I just finished giving Mya her medicine and she was currently playing her her blocks in her playpen.

That should keep her busy for a minute.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my cell phone off the counter. I dialed a number put the phone to

my ear. After the third ring, Susan finally answered.

"Good morning Michael, is everything ok?"

I sighed, "Good morning Susan. I'm not sure. Mya has been acting so different lately."

She paused humming a response. "How so?"

I rubbed the back of my neck and spoke slowly. "Well....she has been zoning out a lot lately. She can't

remember simple things like what she ate for breakfast or what she did yesterday. I'm really worried

about her. Lately she's been talking to herself and I asked her about it but she said she was talking to

her friend Jamie. Susan....Mya doesn't have a phone and I don't even know anyone by the name of

Jamie."

I ran my hand over my face and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with her..."

Susan was silent for a long time. I thought she hung up but she spoke, "Does Mya interact with others

outside of the household."

I thought for a moment, "No it's just me and her here at the moment. Why?"

She sighed, "this Jamie person might just be someone who Mya created because she is lonely. She

doesn't interact with girls her age so she needs someone to talk to. It's basically like an imaginary

friend. Once you get her more involved in things outside of the home. This Jamie person should

disappear." I sighed in relief. All of this is just a faze.

Susan continued, "now about her loss of memory....I don't think it's anything because she's only

nineteen and she still so young. I just think she has a lot on her mind and she's constantly referring

back to it, which causes her to zone out and not remember what is going on around her. Just continue

to give her her medicine twice a day and if you see that things are getting too out of hand or too

abnormal then give me another call, ok?"

I smiled, "yes of course. Thank you so much Susan, it's such a relief hearing this from you."

She chuckled, "It's no problem."

I pressed the end call on the phone and stuffed the phone into my pocket. I felt like so much weight

was lifted off my shoulders.

"Hey princess!!" I smiled walking into the living room.

She turned to me and made grabby hands at me. "Papa up up please" I smiled, "Ok baby." I sat down

on the couch and kissed her cheek placing her on my lap. "How's your tummy baby? Is it feeling

better?" She nodded bringing me in for a hug. I sighed rubbing my hands through her silky hair. I love

the way her body gave me so much comfort. It made me feel complete. It's almost like she knew I

needed this. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After a minute of so she pulled away and looked me in the eyes. "I love you daddy...I really do.... and I

know why you've been worried so much...about me."

I frowned, "baby what are you talking about?"

She twitched and scratched her freshly bandaged neck. "Well I've been thinking a lot lately...and most

of the things I've been thinking about aren't really good."

I thought for a moment. What does she mean by that...does she want to leave me???

"Daddy..." Mya said softly and her palm touched my cheek. I sighed closing my eyes and enjoying the

joy that spread through my body. Gosh, I love her so much.

She climbed onto the couch and sat next me. "Daddy I'm not gonna leave you....I promise." My eyes

snapped towards her and My jaw dropped. "How did you know I was thinking that?"

She shrugged, "Your hands."

I looked down at my hands....they were trembling.

Mya spoke again taking both my hands in hers. She softly pressed her lips against them. "Your hands

tremble when you get worked up." She brushed her fingers against my cheek lightly causing me to

shiver. "Your cheeks....they turn a light shade of red when you're sad or mad."

I stared at her with wide eyes. I didn't even realize that about myself.

She sighed, "Daddy I really love you.

I-I wish I knew how to show you but I always have a hard time expressing myself." She paused and

looked down at our entwined hands. "Daddy you've been so kind to me. You never hit me for your own

enjoyment or embarrassed me intentionally just to laugh. You-You actually love me and I've come to

realize that now. I mean.....when I first came I thought you wouldn't be able to handle me because of

my tantrums and screaming. I thought you would send me back....but you didn't. You didn't give up on

me and I'm still shocked by it."

I smiled and rubbed my thumb across her hand.

"Daddy I know you've be been hearing me talking a lot around the house....but not to you..."

I swallowed but remained silent.

She smiled slightly as she spoke, "I've been talking to Jamie. He's really nice. I think you would like

him..."

"Will I ever get to meet Jamie?"

She shrugged, "I'm not sure....he's kinda shy but I'll let you know."

I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Ok baby whenever you two are ready."

We sat in silence for a long time but it was a comfortable silence. I stroked her hair as she cuddled up

to my side and sighed. "Daddy I-I really like being your little. I love cuddling with you and kissing you. I

like the attention you give me and I'm just really thankful for it. But....sometimes I wanna act my age. I

want to do things that girls my age does, like go shopping and eat out at restaurants. I don't wanna

wear diapers all the time and I don't wanna always drink from a bottle or eat baby food. I just want to

switch it up for a little while."

Her eyes started to water but I quickly hushed her before things got out of hand. "No baby don't

cry....everything is ok." She whimpered as she looked up at me. "Daddy please don't be mad....I-I just

want to be my actual age for a little while."

I pulled her into my lap and pecked her lips. "No baby I would never be mad because of that. I'm glad

you're expressing yourself so freely. It's good to talk to me because now I know how you feel and we

can compromise. You can be whatever age you want to be, alright?" She nodded wiping my eyes.

"Daddy..." I looked down at her and nodded signaling for her to continue.

"Daddy sometimes I forget things...but I do remember Drew and what he did. It was horrible. The taste,

the hits, the forcing...all of it was terrible. I wish I could just forget it...but sadly I can't. I actually really

liked Drew when he first came because he didn't bother me and he started out being super nice. I was

scared of him when he first came because he just has a scary look about him."

She laid her head on my chest and tightened her grip on my shirt as she continued.

"I think you and I both should forgive him."

My eyes widened. Is she out of her mind?

"Daddy listen..." She said noticing the look on my face.

She sighed, "I know what he did was wrong but it was for pleasure. Yeah it's never ok to force someone

to pleasure you but....I don't know I think we should just forgive him. 'Everyone one has good in them or

once had good in them, you just have to dig deep enough to find it', that's what I dad told me before he

died. I didn't listen to him but I think I should start. I'm tired of holding negative things in my heart...it

only makes me hurt more. I-I don't really know what normal means but I want to have a chance to

experience it or come somewhere close to it..."

I nodded pulling her closer, "princess I'll help you. We'll work on our own version of normal."

A/N: Hey guys... Mya and Michael are honestly so cute.

Would you forgive Drew if you were Mya?

Mya was able to read her daddy's emotions without him even talking. Can you do the same to

someone close to you?
