Chapter 8.
The baby woke her up.
She had retired to her bed after pumping and snugged into the covers with the baby monitor to sleep.
Lori didn’t think she caught a wink of sleep, then the sound of Emilia crying blasted into her ears,
She
was out of her room in a minute.
Forgetting the was only wearing a night shirt and panties.
She got to Emilia’s rooms in a flash and picked up the crying baby.
She started shushing her by rocking her back and forth and that seemed to work for a while before she launched into another wail
Oh God. Lori thought as she paled, she was going to wake up everyone at this rate. She thought as she hastily set her down on the changing table to check if she needed a diaper change.
No, no diaper change needed.
Just a very fussy baby who might be very hungry.
There was no milk in the nursery, Lori had transfered it all to the kitchen downstairs, which now seemed like a bad idea since she would have to go down and gri İL
Doing that, she might risk waking everyone up or only annoying the baby more
Either option meant a lot of crying involved, because Emilia was impatient.
Lori stuck a pacifier in bee mouth and Emilia sucked on it ravenously for a while before spitting it out.
She continued paring round the nursery with the baby while wondering what she would do to pacify her when a strange idea popped in her head.
Oh.
Wait.
There was nothing wrong with her feeding Emilia from her breasts.
No. That shouldn’t be a problem.
She thought as she settled on the couch and raised her shirt.
She tried to prop up Emilia’s head as much as possible while guiding her to an exposed pink nipple.
She was surprised by how Gast Emilia latched on. And just as quickly as she latched on she stopped crying
Lori sighed, relieved that her crying was over.
by in her arms. A warm feeling spread across her chest and Lori was surprised by it.
She settled in more comfortably on the sofa as she nestled the baby in
She reached out and stroked the baby’s head gently, unconsciously humming. For the first time in weeks, Lori felt at peace, totally and fully at peace.
Breakfast was early in the Caine household, Lori could smell the eggs and bacon all the way from the stairs. She had been awake for the rest of the night, snuggling Emilia in her arms and dazing off. Emilia seemed to sleep better when she was in her arms. But it was tiring, after about hours in one position, her arms were tired and heavy.
Luckily, Emilia decided to sleep some more in the morning and it had given her time to freshen up and get changed for breakfast.
The baby monitor became her new best friend, she carried it everywhere, even to the bathroom.

She walked into the kitchen and found Mr. Caine already seated in an impeccable dark blue suit. There was a plate of breakfast in front of him, and cup of black coffee, he was also on his phone.
“Good morning Mr Caine.”
She said and he slightly turned and smiled at her. Oh he was so handsome she almost blushed
“Id prefer if you called me Gabriel.”
“Good morning Lori”
He added and Lori nodded.
It would take some practice to call him Gabriel, he was her boss.
“How w
was your first night?”
He asked as she slid into the stool next to him. The maid in front of the oven across from them was cooking bacon.
I think it
kit went well.”
Gabriel nodded. He recalled Emilia crying in the night and he was almost tempted to go and soothe het himself till he realised that Lori had gone her. It took a while, but she stopped crying.
“Yes. It takes time. And practice.”
Lori nodded, yes he was right, with time and practice she would be better.
“How do you like your epey?”
The maid asked as she turned to Lori and Lori answered her,
“Scrambled.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow but he didn’t say anything else.
After a moment of them seating down in silence, Gabriel finished the rest of his coffee and
nd stood up.

“I have to go to work. If you need anything, you can call me on this phone. It has my number, Gregory’s number, Grace’s number and Emilia’s paediatrician already in it. If anything happens, you call me first.”
He said as he slid an iPhone towards her. Lori picked it up gingerly and almost audibly gasped.
The phone was better than any shitty phone she had ever used in her life. In fact, she had never used an iPhone in her life.
“Do you understand?”
Gabriel asked and Lori nodded
“Good. Goodbye”
He said as he left.
Lori turned the phone around and found the notorious three cameras that showed that the phone was an 11 pro max. And relatively new too.
She dropped it carefully back on the counter and waited for the maid to serve her her eggs. She couldn’t remember the last time someone had cooked for her, it was probably a long time ago, maybe when she was a child.
People stopped catering to her needs a long time ago, if she had needs, they didn’t care about them.

Shortly after she was putting her dirty plates in the sink she heard the sound of Emilia waking up from the baby monitor.
