She's gone and left him alone with it. How it happened he cannot say. Dorna was here one moment and gone the next. He had assumed that the nanny was still about and while the girl was wonderful about being seen and not heard the particular quiet that had settled around the house told Kevan he was quite alone.
Frowning he looked down at the sleeping infant.
Keeping children was a woman's business and while Kevan had never been an absentee father he was by no means a hands on parent.
The child would stay asleep. So long as the baby agreed and understood their unspoken arrangement all would remain right with the world.
Taking a step back he prepared to exit the nursery.
A small whimper made him freeze.
Bollocks.
