3 Eric Crown Is In Love.

She looked so beautiful and cute.

Wow, so small, cute and pretty.

Can I go in and see her, Eric asked surprising the Doctor Robert again.

Eric surprised himself, and don't ask me what's going on I cannot explain it! Babies are the last thing that interest me but not this one.

My assistant was dazed, like .."is this really happening".

Eric was given an hospital gown and gloves, to protect the baby from me. He went in with the doctor, and when we got to her bed he stood there for a while just staring at her.

She is premature, so we had to put her in an incubator the Doctor Robert explained.

Premature? Does that mean not born at full term Eric asked the doctor and he nodded. But what does the incubator do for her Eric asked, curiously.

She was born early, less than 37 completed week. That's the most common reason to put a baby in an incubator the doctor explained. She needs to remain in a controlled, enclosed environment so that's where the incubator comes in. It provides heat to keep a constant body temperature and mimics the uterine environment, the womb.

Oh, oh I see. So she cannot be taken out Eric asked

She can for a while since she is breathing well. Do you want to carry her ? Doctor Robert asked me.

Yes Eric found himself answering.

A nurse opened the lid to the incubator and lifted the baby out carefully, offering her to me.

Eric hesitated at first. He had never carried a baby before and she looked so small.

It's okay the nurse said seeing my hesitation, I will teach you how to carry her.

Eric carried her very carefully and slowly from the nurse who corrected me on how to balance her head.

Eric just stared at her in his arms ...she opened her eyes and oh boy I fell in love ....she is so beautiful!

So fragile Eric thought.

After sometime the nurse asked if I wanted to sit down, Eric looked up from the baby so captivated with her.

Doctor Robert then said, you can stay as long as you like Mr. Crown, just put her on your chest. The warmth from your body and the bonding is good for her. I have to go attend to my other patients.

Eric nodded his head to the doctor letting him know he understood. He sat down and put her on his chest. She just settled down and slept back.

Wow was this me? Eric asked himself. He just closed his eyes, trying to relax.

Carrying her was very soothing, she moved a little on my chest then went back to sleep again.

Eric is awestruck at this little being on his chest.

....

At the other side of the glass, Andrew stared disbelieving at his boss carrying the baby and sitting down.

He just couldn't believe it, what's going on here? In his 6 years of working with Mr. Crown he has never seen him like this. He wished he was close so he could record the moment he thought.

Dr. Robert came out of the ward smiling, he looked at Andrew and said your boss is obviously in love with that baby. You better look for somewhere to rest he is not coming out soon.

Andrew knew Dr. Robert was right from what he was is seeing, it seems like we might be here for some time, my boss looked very settled he thought. Andrew just thanked the doctor and started walking towards the entrance, he will wait in the car.

When Andrew got to where the car was packed , he noticed it was a different one. The driver Kelvin must have changed cars because the one involved in the accident had blood stains on it. Kevin unlocked the car door for Andrew, looking surprised as he was alone.

Where is the Boss?

With the baby Andrew answered ...

What ? which baby ? Kevin had a hideous expression on his face like.. "you must be joking".

Andrewv brought Kelvin to speed and he was as surprised as I was. Mr. Crown carrying a baby on his chest, that picture will sell for a million dollars Kelvin commented.

Andrew just wondered about the woman they hit, he hopes she wakes up soon. The baby needs her mother and we have to find the baby's father or a relative to come pick the baby up.

Andrew laid back on the sit, trying to get comfortable to rest. After sometime he slept off. Andrew was woken up by Kelvin shaking his shoulder lightly and holding up his ringing phone in front of me.

Andrew looked at it, noticed it was Mr. Crown. Sir he answered as he picked up the call.

Eric Crown: Where are you?

Kevin: "In the car"

Eric Crown: Okay I will be right there he hung up

So, he is ready to go home now. It's almost 5am in the morning. Andrew watched from the car as the bodyguards escorted him toward the car. Eric got in and said, hope you guys got some sleep because I'm not giving you the day off.

Not surprised, Andrew thought.

When they got to the Eric Crown"s villa, he just walked out without a word.

Andrew didn't bother going his home; He just went to own quarters at the Villa. Oh yes, Andrew has a very comfortable room here for times like this.

About one hour later, Andrew was trying to shower when his phone rung, it was Eric Crown again.

Any update on identifying the women Eric asked as soon as Andrew picked up the call.

Not yet sir, we are still working on it. We have checked with all our security sources and we are still expecting updates from them.

Strange, Eric said. A thought suddenly came to him; Andrew check the missing persons database too.

You think she might be a missing person sir Andrew asked. That might explain why we have not found any information yet.

Eric is not sure, he just want them to cover all the bases, they have the baby to think about.

Andrew: On it sir.

Get some sleep Eric said and hung up.

Andrew knew latest by noon he will want to go out. Thank God Eric's schedule is clear till afternoon. Andrew just settled down to get maybe two to three hours more sleep.

Working for Mr. Crown is anything but boring.
