All Chapters of My Baby Daddy wants me for Christmas : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aurora December 24, 2024 Sometimes, Christmas doesn’t seem as magical as everyone claims it is, and sometimes it isn’t about twinkling lights. Sometimes… Christmas is the night when your entire world seems to collapse. Tonight, I was supposed to surprise my boyfriend. A stupid little red gift bag dangled from my fingers as I climbed the final step to my best friend Clara’s apartment. Inside were the snowflake couple bracelets I had saved up for as a Christmas present. I had planned to show them to Clara first, to scream and laugh about how Sawyer would definitely cry when he saw his. Out of excitement, I had called her, and while waiting for her to pick up, I spoke to the phone. “Clara! I’m coming up. Don’t pretend you’re asleep again,” I joked into the phone. She didn’t answer. I called her three times, and it was the same thing, but I thought nothing of it. Maybe she was in the shower, preparing for the Christmas Eve party, or wrapping gifts. It was Christmas Eve,

Aurora December 24, 2024. I blinked, not expecting him to ask for a dance. “I—I can’t dance like this.” “You don’t have to,” he said, offering his hand. “Just hold on, and I will lead you.” I hesitated at first, my hand trembling. But then I lifted my head to meet his blue eyes and saw the gentleness behind them, so I placed my hand in his. It was going to be Christmas in a few minutes, and I didn’t want to spend it being miserable. He led me onto the dance floor, weaving us through the bodies swaying under soft golden lights. The Christmas song playing through the speakers was slow, warm, threaded with violin and soft bells. I placed one trembling hand on his shoulder while his settled lightly at my waist, and for a moment, neither of us moved. We just stayed there until he dipped his head slightly and whispered, “You’re shaking.” “I’m drunk,” I responded. “You’re heartbroken,” he corrected. “I mean, your words and actions gave it all away

AuroraDecember 1, 2025I stepped out of the arrival gate, my breath fogging in the cold December air as I tightened my coat around myself and shifted Noel higher in the soft front baby sling strapped securely to my chest. His small body was warm against me, and his tiny fists clutched the edge of my scarf as if he could sense how overwhelmed I felt.I still couldn't believe I was standing here in Averne, a beautiful city I had only seen through glossy photos and dreamy winter documentaries. It felt surreal, almost unreal. As I walked farther into the bustling airport, I remembered clearly how it all began and the moment I got the email congratulating me on being selected as the lead photographer for Aerne's grand Christmas festival.I had stared at the screen in disbelief, still recovering from childbirth, still trying to figure out my life when Noel was just one month old. And now, months later, I was actually here—spending Christmas in the same city I had only imagined.Noel sudden

Aurora, December 1, 2025 “What are you doing here?” Clara demanded, her perfectly manicured finger stabbing the air in my direction before dropping straight to Noel, who had begun to cry against my chest. “And what is that? You brought a baby here?” I stared down at my baby for a moment, and my breath caught for a second. After more than a year of silence, of healing, and of trying to rebuild what she helped me shatter, I never imagined that the next time I would see her would be inside a conference room on the other side of the world, surrounded by strangers, light, and the heavy expectation of professionalism. It felt wrong and surreal, almost cruel, to be here with her, but I forced myself to keep my gaze steady as I shifted Noel in his carrier, trying to calm him. It just made things worse as he cried harder. “I…” I began trying to say something, but the sound of Noel’s wail rose again, almost like he could feel Clara’s hostility. “I knew this would be a problem when I saw

LeonDecember 24, 2025I woke up to the pale morning light slipping through the hotel curtains. It was warm and soft across my face. Instinctively, my hand reached out to the side where her body should have been, where she had slept curled into me as she belonged there, but my fingers touched only cold, empty sheets. My eyes snapped open immediately, and Aurora wasn’t there. For a second, I didn’t move. I just stared at the indentation on the mattress where her head had rested only hours ago. My heartbeat picked up as confusion settled heavily on my chest. Then I sat up fast, scanning the room. She wasn’t in the bathroom, her belongings were nowhere to be found, and one of her scents drifted through the air the way it had last night when I held her against me. She was… gone.I dragged a hand through my hair and blew out a sharp breath, wondering why she had rushed out so early. She didn’t even leave a note. A part of me should have been annoyed, but I wasn’t. Instead, I grinned as
