A Love like no other

[Sanda]

Cute chapter Jessie. Sanda definitely has her daddies Reid and Luke wrapped around her little fingers already. LOL I agree with Melinda that Sanda is adorable in this chapter. ;D I feel for Reid when he has to go to work in the morning. The poor nurses better watch out when grumpy Reid arrives at the hospital.

Chapter 10

Luke got up when the alarm went off, Sanda was laying awake. He knew Reid didn't get much sleep, so he would get breakfast ready , and let his sleep another 1/2hour. Luke put out his arms, and lifted Sanda up, and took her downstairs. She was sitting at the table, when Luke got her a juice. Luke was exhausted, he was lucky if he got more that 2 hours sleep. Sanda seemed fine, which surprised Luke, but he was sure she would be cranky later. He was making eggs, and turned, "Sanda do you like eggs"?

"No, they are yucky, I want cereal please".

"Oh no, ok we have bran flakes"

"No, I want cocoa puffs, or fruit loops, that is all I like Daddy"

Luke shut the cupboard, "we don't have them sweetie, how about you try eggs"?

"No, I won't eat breakfast than". Reid walked in making Luke laugh, he looked horrible. His eyes, were half open, and he sat down. Sanda laughed, "Oh my Daddy what is wrong with you"?

"I'm not like you two, I need my sleep, or I'm dead".

"Dead Daddy no", Sanda started to cry, and Reid jumped up, spilling the orange juice. "No I didn't mean dead , I don't know what I mean. Luke grabbed me a cloth, the juice is going everywhere". Luke ran over, "Reid calm down, why don't you call Bob, and ask if it is ok, if you come in 2 hours late. You can go up , and rest, for 2 hours".

"No Luke, I will be fine, I just need coffee", Reid went to get the coffee, but Luke yelled , "no I will get it, we don't need a mess in here".

"Funny Luke, fine you can do it". Reid sat down, and smiled, "What is she going to have eggs, and toast"?

"No, she wants fruit loops, or cocoa puffs, that is all she will eat"

"Oh we don't have that crap", Luke glares at Reid who looks at Sanda. "Daddy what is crap"?

"Great Reid explain that to a four year old"?

'Well Daddy shouldn't say words like that Angel, but there are better cereals for you"

"No I like them, not the other ones"

Reid got up, " I will drive to the store down the street. They probably have one of those brands" . Reid ran upstairs, changed and left for the store. Luke made breakfast for him and Reid, it was ready just as Reid came back. "They had both which one would you like"?

"Cocoa puffs please". Reid poured some in her bowl, and added milk. She was quiet eating the cereal, when Reid grabbed a bowl, wanting to taste them. He poured some, and laughed, "OMG these are yummy, I know what I'm having from now on".

"Told you Daddy their not crap". Luke touched Sanda's face, "Please don't use the word crap anymore Sanda"

"Why Daddy did"?

"I know, he isn't allowed either, it really isn't nice".

Sanda pouted and Luke felt bad, and Reid smiled, "it is ok, Daddy Luke isn't mad at you, he is mad at me".

"He is cranky and ruined our fun, I wish he was going to work, and you were staying with me". Luke was shocked he got up, walking upstairs. Reid was mad, he touched Sanda chin, "you hurt Daddy's feelings, he can't wait to spend the day with you".

"I'm sorry",

"That is fine sweetie, will you be good, and finish your cereal. I want to go up, and see Luke ok".

"Tell him, I'm sorry ok".

"You can later, but eat, your a good girl". Sanda smiled, as Reid ran upstairs going to their room. He opened the door, and Luke was sitting in a chair, looking out the window. Reid walked over, "Excuse me Luke what are you doing"?

"She wants to spend time with you, she hates me because I have to discipline her".

"We both do, don't go there Luke. Get your butt out of that chair, and go down to our daughter. You never walk away because your feelings are hurt. Your a Daddy, and she will get mad at us a million times, I'm sure. She loves us both, she is four years old how old are you?. I'm going to stomp up the stairs like I'm a 3 year old child. I will be downstairs waiting for you, grow up , and don't be so sensitive". Reid walked out, Luke was totally shocked but he knew Reid was 100 percent right.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid was soo cute trying the cocoa puffs and loving them. I can just picture Eric Sheffer Stevens as Dr. Reid Oliver eating cocoa puffs on the show. I LOVE it that Reid put Luke in his place at the end of this chapter about Luke needing to grow up and that he needed to get his butt downstairs to their daughter Sanda.

[jessie]

Glad you love this story , I'm writing for you Sanda. Hope you like this chapter.

Chapter 11

Reid had to get to work, he was shocked Luke hadn't come down yet. He was about to grab Sanda, and take her to Katie's house, when Luke came downstairs.

"About time, I thought you were going to stay up there all day"

"Sorry about that, you were right, I was wrong"

"Yeah you were, she is a child, she didn't even realize she hurt you that bad. You have to stop being so sensitive Luke, it is your worst enemy. I will call you , she is excited about going out to get pictures. She is watching "I Love Lucy", so see you later, I'm so jealous you get to spend the day with her, while I work".

"Take the day off, you haven't had a day off in months".

"I can't today, but I will get sometime off. Bye Luke", Reid kissed him, and ran into the living room lifting Sanda. "See you later Angel, will you miss me"?

" Yes Daddy so much", Sanda hugged Reid, and he held her tight. He loved this little girl already, he sat her down, and ran to the door. "Bye see you later". He left, and Luke walked over, "Sanda do you want to talk"?

"No, I'm watching this show, you can watch it with me"?

" I would love that", he was watching when the delivery man came with the bed. They brought it upstairs to Sanda's room. They left, and Luke came downstairs, "would you like to go to the mall, and than the park"?

"Yes, Daddy, I better go to the bathroom, and get dressed". She ran upstairs, and he followed her. Luke helped her dress, and they left to go the mall. She was so happy looking at all the photos. She wanted a "I love Lucy"picture, and a Tinkerbell picture. They went to the kids store, and got her coloring books, and crayons, and non-toxic children paints. She was so excited she wanted to hold the bag, but Luke let her knowing she would have to give it back. It was heavy, but she was managing. She held Luke's hand, "Can we go to the park now Daddy"?

"Sure, but I want to find a book at this book store. I also want to go to video store here to see if they have "Little house on the Prairie".

"For me Daddy"?

"Yes, for you , but we will watch it with you".

They went to the video store first, asking the clerk, if they had the DVD's?. She said they had seasons, 1 & 2 in but she could order the others. He said he would take them, and he would like to orders the others. He could give her a couple for her Birthday, and some for Christmas. Sanda's eyes lite up, when the man rang up the DVD's. They went to get his book, and they left, for the park. Luke called Reid, and he picked up on his cell phone.

"Hi, Luke how is our Angel doing"?

"Great she had a good day, she got pictures for her room. She got 2 seasons of Little house on the Prairie. She got her coloring books, and other art supplies too. Do you want to say hi to her, we are at the park near the hospital"?

Reid looked at his watch, " I can meet you over there, I haven't had my lunch break yet".

"OK see you there soon Reid".

"Wait Luke, let me say hi to her". Luke handed Sanda the phone, "Daddy is on the phone, say hi to him"

"Daddy I miss you, I got so many nice things"

"That is wonderful Sanda, I will see you soon. Love you Angel, you be good".

"I will bye Daddy", She handed the phone to Luke. He parked the car, and got out walking to the park. Sanda ran over watching kids make sand castles. She smiled, and Luke sat down looking at his new book. He was looking at Sanda, she waved, and he waved back. He smiled when Luke walk up to him, and said, "Where is Sanda"?

"Over there playing with the kids, making Sanda castles". Luke stood up in horror, she wasn't anywhere to be seen. Reid screamed out Sanda's name, while Luke froze in fear, "what has he done"?

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I LOVE it that Reid met Luke and Sanda at the park during his lunch hour. OMG, I hope that Reid and Luke find Sanda.

[melindajo2000]

great chapters, sorry I missed the first one. I hope they find Sanda and that nothing happens to her

[jessie]

Chapter 12

"Luke where is she"? Reid was frantic so was Luke, they both ran over yelling her name. Reid ran over to another Mother, "Have you seen a little girl, black hair 4 years old"?

She shook her head no, Reid felt like he couldn't breathe. He looked at Luke, he was pale as a ghost, but Reid ran over shaking him. "You took your eyes off of her, what is wrong with you are you crazy"?

"I'm sorry, she was here, I'm so sorry". They hear "Daddy what is wrong"? Reid turned "OMG Sanda where were you"? Reid lifted her in his arms, rocking her. She started to cry, and Luke ran over, "Reid your scaring her, put her down". Reid walked away from Luke going over to a bench, and sat Sanda down. "Angel where were you Daddy was so worried"?

"I'm sorry, I waved at Daddy, I wanted to go see them play ball.". She pointed to the field, and Reid looked over. "Sanda you can't walk away from us ever again, do you understand"?

"I'm sorry, your mad at me"?

"No, I'm not mad, I'm so glad your ok", Reid was shaking, but he hugged Sanda. Luke walked over, " I'm sorry Reid, forgive me". Sanda ran over, "Daddy is mad at both of us, I think". Luke lifted up Sanda, "Forgive me Sanda, I'm so sorry, I never should have taken my eyes off of you"

"It is ok", Sanda hugged him, and Luke held her tight. Reid looked at Luke, and he walked over, "maybe Daddy should take you home, the park isn't a good place right now".

"OK I will take her home Reid". Reid took Sanda out of his hands, "See you at supper, you hold Daddy's hand, and be good. Later me and you can go for a long walk. I love you Angel Daddy has to go back to work". He handed Sanda to Luke , and started to walk away. Luke was devastated he yelled, " Reid wait talk to me". Reid kept walking , and Luke walked to the car, never feeling more horrible in his whole life. Reid was walking to work, he felt sick, if they lost her, how could they live with each themselves. He was so mad at Luke, he couldn't talk to him right now. He went to work, and he had a splitting headache, he couldn't get the afternoon events out of his head.

Luke got home, and Sanda was real tired. They walked upstairs, she changed into her track pants, and got in bed. She smiled, " Daddy you look sad are you ok"?

"Yes Angel, you go to sleep, than later you and Daddy Reid can go for a nice walk".

"You are coming too right"?

"I don't know, we will see, Daddy is really happy your ok".

"I'm sorry Daddy Reid yelled at you Daddy, I didn't know I was bad"

Luke started to cry, "You weren't bad, Daddy made a mistake. Go to sleep , I will be here if you need me". Sanda drifted off to sleep, while Luke sat in the chair, watching over here.

Chapter 13

Luke went downstairs, to make some cookies for Sanda when she woke up. He put them in the oven, when she walked into the kitchen.

'Daddy I'm up, something smells good"

"I'm making chocolate chip , and peanut butter cookies for my Angel. Why don't you watch TV, and when they are done, I will bring you one".

Sanda ran into the living room, and Luke put on the family channel. He went to the kitchen, and started to prepare dinner, he was making macaroni and cheese, Reid's favorite. He knew Sanda loved it she said she did already. He took the cookies out, and thought she could have one with milk, while the macaroni baked. He put the macaroni in the oven and put the a cookie on a dish, and poured her a glass of milk. He walked into the living room, and she smiled, taking the cookie eating it. Luke sat beside her for a few moments, than he went to set the table, Reid would be home any moment. He heard the door open, and Sanda screamed, "Daddy your home". She ran over to Reid hugging him, when Luke walked in. Reid was holding a pizza box, when Luke smiled, "Oh you stopped for pizza you didn't tell me"?

" I felt like pizza,and I knew this one would love it too".

" I made dinner, your favorite Macaroni and cheese with garlic bread".

'Oh I would rather have pizza Luke sorry". Sanda yelled , "I want pizza too Daddy". Luke walked into the kitchen and Reid followed. "I'm sorry, can't you put it in the fridge, and have it tomorrow. I had a bad day, I feel like pizza, it is my favorite actually".

"Right it is your favorite, sit down and eat Reid, Sanda must be hungry".

"Your not eating any Luke"?

"No, I lost my appetite Reid, don't worry about me". Reid shook his head, " I got rid of my headache, thanks for bringing it back Luke". He put the pizza down, washing his hands, and he told Sanda to sit down. She sat beside him, and he put a pizza slice on her plate. He took one, and he put the box, on the counter. Luke took the macaroni, and garlic bread out dumping it in the garbage. Reid was watching so was Sanda, Luke started to wash the dishes. Reid whispered, " How about after dinner, we go out for a walk"?

"Yeah to the park"

"No, just a walk, lets stay away from the park tonight". Luke turned around, "I made a mistake Reid, stop this".

"What I'm just saying the park, is out of the question tonight"

" Right", Luke was putting the dishes away, and Reid walked over, "I will wash these dishes, we are finished".

"Give them to me, take Sanda for her walk. I'm not invited, that is fine with me, I don't believe you Reid"

"OK she is right there, I'm trying to stay calm. I don't want to fight with her right here. You made a stupid mistake, it happened, you learned your lesson. You are welcome to come on our walk if you want to, or stay home and sulk like a child. Why did you throw out the dinner Luke"?

"You didn't want it Reid"?

"Daddy"

They both turn, "Yes Sanda"?

"What is the matter, are you mad at me"?

Reid ran over , "mad no way, lets go out , and see if we can find a ice cream truck".

"I made cookies for dessert Reid",

"Oh I didn't know, we can have some later, are you coming with us"?

"No, you go out with her, I will have my time tomorrow"

"Luke what is wrong with you"?

" Think about it Reid, your smart enough to figure it out". Luke walked over, "put a sweater on it is cold out, Daddy shouldn't get you ice cream, we have some here"

" I want ice cream from the truck Daddy"

"Fine, whatever you like Sweetie, love you". He kissed her, and went upstairs, leaving Reid with Sanda. He smiled, " Oh lets get out of here, I need some air".

'Daddy Luke is mad isn't he"?

"No, he is tired Sweetie".

"He should have had a nap like me than"

"Yeah he should of Angel, let go, we better put that sweater on". He got her ready, and they left, they didn't see Luke watching from the window above.

[melindajo2000]

Luke is kind of acting like a jerk here. He shouldnt have thrown away dinner but then again Reid should have appreciated the trouble Luke went to. I'll take a home made dinner over Pizza any day lol. Hope Sanda doesnt pick up any more of the tension. excellent writing Jessie

[tammie]

Hi Jessie
I must say...Im alittle lost at why? Luke is acting this way. Hum...I know Luke put the time and effort into making dinner& dessert...but I thought that Reid bringing home pizza was thoughtful. Luke could have saved that dinner for tomorrow dinner.....would have saved some time..for Luke. Hoping Sanda ...Dont start to think....its her fault. Nice update....now...we can add what the heck....moment to all of the other things...I said about your story!.... Thank you for taking the time...to write this story. . Thank you ..Sanda for the new...banner...LOVE IT.. .
