All Chapters of The Baby Programme: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Hadeon p.o.vFive days. It was five days after our little girl went into a coma and still there is no news. We visited her the next day but there wasn't much to do than look at her little, frail body that was fighting so hard to stay alive. James wanted to go every day but I convinced him otherwise. Seeing her would make him only feel even more terrible, well not only James, me as well.I started to work from home so I could watch over James. He often forgot things when he was this depressed. James had from time to time periods where he was depressed. I would take care of him and within a couple of days, he would be back to his normal, neat freak self.I made sure he ate, showered, brushed his teeth, and went to bed instead of laying on the couch all night.I kept myself busy with my work so I wouldn't think of our little girl. I know it sounds a bit harsh, but sometimes it's better to get on with life. I had made a strict schedule with m

Hadeon p.o.vThe next day it was Sunday, which meant a relaxing day. Only, thought our little Alice different about that. The whole day she was whining and crying. Not for a long time but for short times during the day she would make a sound of discomfort.James pointed out she was sucking on more and more things. You really had to watch what you were going to put in her grabbing range. Everything she could get her little hands on would find its way in her mouth.Late in the afternoon, it wasn't for a short time she whined she kept going as she rubbed her cheeks furiously."What do you think is wrong honey?" I asked James. "Hmmm, I don't know. I think I'll get the book." He mused. Of course, he would get the book. It was a book about babies, from the day they were born until they turned one year old. It was like his bible for everything concerning our baby girl.Then I heard him yell something. "Of course!" I hea

Hadeon p.o.vI didn't get why James was so upset. She wasn't alone that long. He is just a neat freak and a control freak. The moment things don't go his way he gets agitated and starts yelling at people. I didn't do anything wrong. I rubbed my hands over my face. I was frustrated and I needed a drink. I opened one of my cabinets and got my whiskey and my glass out.First I needed to cool down and then talk to him. It was something I had learned when I worked on my anger issues. I would apologize and then explain the situation, if I had done that it was all up to James. If he would make up or stay mad at me.The thing that frustrated me the most was that James thought I didn't care for our daughter. I loved my princess. I would do anything for her. I just didn't see the harm in letting her be alone for a couple of minutes.I finished my drink, but I wasn't cooled down enough so I got myself another one. I needed a backup plan if he doesn'

James p.o.v"Babe, can you grab more diapers please!" I heard some cursing from upstairs but didn't pay any mind to it. Hadeon was grumpy all morning because we were going to visit his family today. I partially could understand why he wasn't excited to go to his childhood home. His history with his family was rich in constant fights, discussions, and confrontations with his parents. I had a feeling he had no happy memories of them, at all. I wished he had. The few memories I have of my family, the few happy ones, always got me through difficult times. Times when I missed them the most. But because of that strong feeling of great loss, I tried hard to convince Hadeon to find a way to make peace with his father and mother. I heard my moody husband stomping down the stairs with his arms full of the last things we needed for our short trip. "Here are the diapers." "Thank you, honey." I

Hadeon p.o.vToday I had to stay at home from work as James suddenly had to go to the company. He said something was wrong and they needed his help. I didn't quite understand as he wasn't the CEO nor the largest shareholder, but I couldn't stop him. So it was just me and Alice today.I couldn't pay her too much attention as I had a lot of work to do as well. I could only give her the necessary attention and care as I was busy working on a case. I was glad when I could put her down for a nap so I could work without any interruptions in my office.I saw that it was almost time to wake up from her nap when one of my employees called me. She didn't bring me good news. The judge had nullified our key evidence to the case. They told us it would only help speculation which wasn't good enough. We needed to have 'hard' evidence according to my employee. I was busy with making calls, looking through files, and going through everything I had s
