DAVE The annoying sound of my alarm peered into my beautiful sleep and woke me up.
What the hell! Alarm.
I woke up to an alarm this morning? It's unlike me, I haven't done that in months.
My princess always wakes me up, she never fails to do that.
I rushed into the bathroom and took my bath, I came out and wore my work outfit consisting of a black trouser on a long sleeved shirt and my tie for the final touch.
I picked my phone from the night stand and rushed out of my room. Everything seems to be in a hurry today.
"Hannah!" I called out loud
"Sir" she came rushing towards me.
"Good morning sir, I was just on my way to your room" she hesitated a little before speaking up.
"Julia Bianca is sick"
My heart skipped a bit the moment those 4 word left her mouth.
What!
I took the stairs that leads to her room, how the hell did she fall ill.
I opened the door to see my little girl curled up in bed and tucked in a blanket.
"Baby.." I rushed to her bedside taking off the blanket, her pretty eyes twinkled in recognition.
"Dad" she muttered.
I felt her temperature with my palm and she was burning up. I scrolled through my contacts and called Kelvin.
"You need to house right now Kelvin!" With that I hung up.
Kelvin has been a friend of mine and he was also among the doctors in the delivery room.
"How come am just finding about her illness just this morning Hannah"
I also find out this morning sir and I was on my way to call you"
Julia Bianca has never been sick for 2 years now, I wonder what happened.
Am Dave Anderson 24 years old bachelor with a daughter, yeah! I have a daughter and she's four. Well her mum left us when she was born and right now am more worried that she's sick than anything else.
I loosened my tie and threw it on the couch. I carried my baby on my lap waiting for Kelvin to come.
This is definitely the reason she wasn't jumping on my bed when I woke up this morning.
The door opened and Kelvin rushed in.
Knowing I wasn't going to drop her, he tended to her right in my arms.
"What's wrong kel?, would she be fine?" I asked worriedly.
He urged me to lie her down on the bed which I did reluctantly.
"Let's talk outside Dave"
I followed him outside giving Hannah instruction to stay with her.
"What's wrong Kel"
"There's no trace of fever in her, I think the reason why she's burning up is because she misses her mum." He said and my heart fell.
"Her mum??"
