Chapter 10 Look after you
Years after their marriage, Annabeth got pregnant with their first child, but as the pregnancy progressed Dorian feared that something would happen, since he didn’t know if it was instinct or what but he felt like something was wrong
Once their daughter was born she was beautiful they named her Elizabeth, she had dar thick black hair and pale skin with freckles, her eyes were a deep brown color, like chocolate, she was Dorian’s joy and his little princes, he swore that he will protect and look after her till his last breath.
Years passed, Elizabeth was almost 5 when for the past few month his wife Annabeth had been feeling really ill, meaning that his assumptions about something bad happening were coming into reality, and he was fearing the worst of it, since just a year or so ago his mother died and despite that also his father and youngest brother, he only really cared for his mother, since she was the only family member that was always for him, and always loved him even if he did wrong, so he feared that he would lose his wife.
A month before Elizabeth turned 5, sadly Annabeth died, leaving him as a single dad and Widower to an almost 5 year old girl, Elizabeth was sad but she always tried to make her father happy, sure she missed her mother but before her mother died she told her that she should look after her dad and take good care of him and obey him, so that what she did, she always tried to get a smile or a small chuckle from her dad, and her father appreciated it.
As Elizabeth grew up she looked more like her mother witch made Dorian love her more than he already loved her when she was born, due to her similarities to her mother Dorian made a promise to look after her and give her everything so she will never lack of anything and make sure she always stayed healthy and safe.
Elizabeth was just 5 years old, she was running around the gardens of their mansion as her father was still out for his morning walk ,while the maids looked after her. She was the sweetest and most caring girl ever, helping her dad with his illness and his poor mobility.
Her father looked at her with adoration in his eyes, he loved his little girl like she was the most beautiful thing he ever saw “Daddy!” Elizabeth said as she saw her dad and ran to him for a hug, “Hello princess” he said looking down at his daughter, She laughed and looked at her dad “Where did you go daddy?” She said, wrapping her arms on his leg as she looked up at him, “I went for a walk love”he said, caressing her hair. Her smile only grew “Did you see something fun and exciting?” She asked, looking up at him, tilting her head “I saw some ducklings love” he smiled and looked at his daughter” They reminded me of you, they were so tiny and full of energy” he said with a small laugh. She giggled at that and nodded “I can be really hyper!” She said happily “But not tiny!” She said with a giggle,”Well you are my little duckling love”, she laughed as she climbed up your leg, hugging him tight “I’m NOT a duckling!” She said with a giggle “I’m your princess!”She giggled, Dorian looked at her with a skeptical look, trying to see if he could convince her without a single word “Fineeee, I’m a princess duckling!”, She said, hugging him tighter still, then she changed the subject “Daddy did you bring me anything?” she said happily,her smile could light up the whole room,she was just so adorable” Mmm… and why should i do that princess?” Dorian said teasingly“Because I am your princess!” she said as she giggled, she looked up at her dad with her big green eyes, she was an innocent sweet little girl, she was just adorable.
“Oh and just because you are my princess, does that mean I have to buy you something uh?”He asked looking at his daughter lovingly “YES!” she said giggling even more, she was just 5 years old but as sassy as a 7 year old, but Dorian didn’t care, she was the light of his life and all he had left, so he didn’t mind spoiling her, but not to much since he didn’t want her to turn out into a spoiled brat”Mm..Sorry sweetie but I didn’t bought you anything” he said hopping his daughter would not make a fuss about it “Oh..its ok daddy, I was just joking!” she said and smiled at her father, Dorian looked at Elizabeth, he smiled back, how could he be so lucky to have a daughter as sweet and as caring as Elizabeth? He wasn’t the best dad since he didn’t know much about parenting, but it wasn’t his fault, he grew up seeing how corrupted his family was and the not so nicely ways his parents treated one another, but he knew that he would never let his daughter go through that or even live in a lie like he did from a young age.
