Finding Bailey

Nelson finished his day early as Bailey was getting fussy while he was working. Nelson didn't mind at all, he had got most of it done in the morning while Blair was watching Bailey. "Come on Bailey let's get you home" Nelson stated. Bailey was still holding on to Nelson not letting him go so he couldn't disappear. "Dada" Bailey cheered out and babbled away. "Your brothers are going to be so jealous now you have said Blair and bot" Nelson told Bailey who smiled at dada.

Nelson let his assistant know he was working from home this afternoon and to send through anything but call him if something urgent came up. As he was leaving the office his father was entering the building. "Nelson I was just coming to see you son. Blair nice to see my youngest grandson too" Harry stated looking towards the little girl in his sons hands.

Nelson gulped, he hadn't told his dad about Bailey at all. Technically she was not his family but he knew his father and knew he was in trouble. "Dada bot" Bailey asked Nelson looking up at him. "Dada?" Harry questioned. "Who is this little girl and why is she calling you dada?" Harry asked. "Princess we will get a bot at home" Nelson told Bailey before turning to his dad. "I think you better head to our place and we can explain it all there" Nelson stated. Harry nodded his head. "Blair I'll take Bailey with me, you head to the garage and get that car. You can head out if you like I got Bailey" Nelson told his son. "Nah, I want to spend more time with her. We need to practice saying Blair. I will see you at home" Blair said before walking into the garage to get the car.

Nelson buckled Bailey into her seat after struggling to get her in. Bailey didn't like the car at all and made it known every time she was buckled in. Nelson put his phone on a kids show resting it on the seat so Bailey could see it and handed her a toy which Blair had brought for her. Soon enough Bailey was mesmerised by the show playing and stopped crying while Nelson drove home.

Once Nelson got home his father and Blair were already there. "Come on princess time to face the music" Nelson told Bailey. "Bot" Bailey asked. Nelson nodded and headed into the house. "I'm just going to make Bailey a bottle" Nelson called out to Blair and his father. "Already done dad" Blair stated coming out of the kitchen with a bottle in hand. "Bot Blah" Bailey cheered out lifting her arms out to Blair. "Traitor" Nelson whispered to Bailey knowing he could soften his father up if he had Bailey in his arms.

Blair took his sister into the lounge room where Harry was sitting waiting for an explanation. Nelson headed into the lounge room too. Nelson sat looking at his father who was waiting for someone to talk. "Dad, so Bailey here is the boys sister. Blair got a call from his mother asking him to come take Bailey. She sent him an address and when we went to the unit, we found Bailey in distress. Blair also found a note from his mum asking him to care for her here as she was in trouble with her dealer. The boys decided to care for their sister" Nelson stated keeping things simple for his dad.

Harry looked at the little girl who was happily drinking her bottle while in Blair's arms. "Dad she was abused, she is 18 months old and only just started saying her first word" Nelson added. "And she calls you dada?" Harry asked his son. "Yes that was her first word" Nelson replied while smiling at Bailey. Harry nodded his head and then stood up and walked towards Bailey.

Nelson stood to not sure what his father was going to do. His father hated Melanie for what she had done to his sons. Harry took Bailey from Blair as she was finished the bottle and put her up to burp the girl. Bailey was looking at who was holding her not sure of the new person. "Hello Bailey, I'm grandpa" Harry whispered to the girl. "Pa" Bailey stated and began to babble away. Nelson seemed to relax once he saw his father smiling when Bailey called him Pa. "That's right chicken, I am Pa" Harry stated earning a smile and a burp from Bailey.

Harry sat down with Bailey on his lap studying the girl. "I trust you will be formalising an adoption of my little chicken so that witch can't get her claws in to her again?" Harry spat out after rubbing his hand over the bruise on Bailey's face. Nelson looked at his father, "we don't know where her parents are but I am having papers drawn up incase they show up to claim Bailey" Nelson informed his father. This shocked Blair as his father hadn't spoken to anyone about it. "Good" Harry replied.

Bailey spent more time playing with Pa before she feel asleep on his chest. She had won Grandpa's heart and he would be damn if he didn't protect the child from her own mother. Harry refused to let the little girl go even when Nelson offered to put her into the cot. He sat on the couch holding her close until she woke up. "Pa" Bailey whispered when she woke up. Harry smiled at the little girl. "I'm here chicken" he cooed at her.

Brax and Bodie rushed in just after 5pm wanting to be with Bailey so she would say their names too. When they walked into the lounge room they saw Harry holding the girl feeding her some yoghurt. "Grandpa?" Brad questioned. "Pa" Bailey chirped out. "That's so unfair, she just met him and said his name before mine" Bodie whined out. "Bailey say Bodie" Bodie told his sister who smiled around the yoghurt at Bodie. "Come on Bailey say Brax" Brax told his sister. "Pa dada" Bailey replied before babbling and waving her arms around as she spoke. Both Bodie and Brax groaned at her. "That's right chicken" Harry replied nodding his head, like Bailey had just solved a major world problem. Bailey nodded her head back at Pa and continued to suck the yoghurt off her spoon.
