Reborn princess: I will change my ill-fate

At the country side house, City Sylter:

Andrew was excited. He was nervous, too. But, mostly excited for the arrival. Even though, he was against the idea of having another baby, he learned to love his second unborn child with the help of Beatrice. And finally the time came. When it was time for the birth of the baby, he was very excited to welcome his daughter. 

He knew it was a daughter. He even had the stone tightly held in his hand when he was waiting outside the room, waiting for the cries of his new born to be heard. He was pacing back and fro. He only halted his paced walk when he heard his child's first cry. The faint cries coming from the room.

Tears welled up in his eyes when he heard the cries. His daughter was here, he wiped his eyes and looked down at the stone in his hands. It was sparkiling brightly, slightly reflecting the light that was faintly falling onto it from the window. 

"I would show this to her when she opens her eyes, I wonder what her eyes would look like? Will she like me? What gifts should I prepare for the gender revelation? Would I be able to protect her and give her all the love I got? Did she after me or after my love Beatrice? What should I name her? Will she be as cute like my Beatrice? Nah, of course she is my daughter, so she will definitely be more beautiful and cuter than any being on this earth. "

" What gifts should I bring for my daughter? Will she be interested in sword fighting? If yes, then I will personally teach her myself. Would I cry when she would leave me to live with her husband? What kind of husband will she have? I should thouroughly examine him? Not anyone could get close to my daughter. Yes, that's it, both Felix and I should carefully take care of her and protect her from others approaching her. Of course we do respect her decision and accept him if he is a good person who takes care of her. What? Why does my daughter should leave me after getting married? This is so unfair. "

Andrew subtly chuckled at his thoughts. His daughter was just born and he already began thinking of her husband already. He theen decided he should have his daughter close to him for as long as possible. 

His heart raced when the doors were opened. A female physician came out, with a soft bundle in her arms. His second bundle of joy. The physician approached him with a sad expression on her face, but Andrew was too focused on his baby to notice it. 

He looked at the beautiful baby in his arms and was amazed on how a baby can glow like this. She just came out and she was already a glowing ray to her surroundings. Beatrice surely knew how their baby was gonna be like and the stone in his hands was the perfect depiction of that.

He didn't even have a good time enjoying his happiness, when his whole world came crumbling down on him. He never imagined the thoughts he had when his daughter was born, would vanish in an instant.

------

It was as if, he was reliving all the memories again. How could he not. Those were the memories that were close to his heart and were always rewinding in his head every night he slept. 

But, this was the first he was sharing these memories with someone else. And, that someone being, his daughter. Who, was present in it all. 

Tears were at the brim of his eyes, ready to fall anytime he blinked his eyes, but Andrew wasn't going to cry or let himself weak like that. He couldn't show this weak side to anyone, but to his love. The one, who fully understood him for who he is. 

He was so lost in his own world of memories and happiness, he was startled when he felt something warm against his Cheek. He looked beside for the source and saw, Aeinshia wiping the tears in his eyes with her thumb, while she herself had tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, father." Aeinshia said, her hand now holding her father's and her tears never seizing.

Andrew titled his head, confused.

"Why are you apologizing?" He asked with the confusion thickly laced in his words. 

"Because of me, Mother isn't with you anymore. Y-You loved her. Y-Yo-You needed her the most than me. It was all me." Aeinshia said between her whimpers and sobs, her words were coming out in stutters and low whispers, but still could be comrehended. 

Andrew's heart broke. He couldn't take anymore of this. His ego and hesitation ain't big than the sorrow his daughter was experiencing now. So, he threw all the hesitations out of the window and pulled Aeinshia into a hug.

" From when you are getting such useless thoughts my dear Aeinshia. It's never been your fault. It's her destiny. So you can't blame yourself. Never do it again my dear daughter. If it happens again, it means you are no longer disrespecting this fathers words. " He reassured her, while his last line came as a little sweet reprimand. 

It was her first time hearing Andrew call her dear by her name and listening to it her tears flowed without a halt. She tried to stop them, but they didn't listen to her and continued streaming unknowingly. 

He had his arms securely wrapped aorund his daughter as if, she would break if didn't hold her tightly. His hold was tight, yet gentle. Aeinshia's face was buried in his chest. And, he could feel her tears wetting his expensive robes. But, he could care less, all he wanted now was to get rid of the sadness that was trying to make its way to Aeinshia's heart.
