Ours novel Chapter 5

Jace POV

Waking up earlier than usual, I couldn’t sleep I was so excited for the day to begin. I skip to the kitchen to start breakfast. It's baby Nala's first breakfast with us and I want it to be special.

I decided to make pancakes, with chocolate chips. You can't go wrong with that and I’m sure she’ll love it, everyone loves pancakes. I decided to take advantage of being up so early, so I decided to put a batch of my famous cookies in the oven. I'm not above bribery to win the little heart, and little sugar won't hurt.

By the time I got everything ready and on the table and making sure it's perfect for the little girl, the first impression is everything. I turn around to see a scene so cute it made my heart melt.

Still rubbing her eyes sleepily with one hand and holding her teddy with the other, her hair is all messed up from sleep, there stands our baby Nala.

"Good morning sweetheart," I say with a big grin on my face and it takes all of me self-control not to run to hug and kiss her.

Nala POV

I woke up with light streaming on my face. Where am I?? I smell pancakes. Yum, when was the last time I had any, probably before my mum died. My stomach chose that moment to growl, when the last time I ate was, I can't remember.

So Nala the plan is to follow the smell and see if I can get any. Sound like a good plan in my head, nothing wrong with asking my kidnappers for food.

Walking toward the smell with Leo still in my arm, he’s my friend and protector. I reach what seems to be the kitchen, wow it put Martha Stewart kitchen to shame. A guy about 6 feet tall with broad shoulders and dark brown hair has his back turned to me while setting everything. I really wish to get some food it looks amazing. I was still eye fucking the food when the guy turns toward me and talk. Ohh shit what did he just said?

I mumble a good morning just to be on the safe side and his face break into a big smile, he looks handsome and I can't help but give him a shy smile.

"I'm Jace and I know you to be Nala. Now come on pumpkin let's get some yummy into your tummy" he says teasingly.

I giggle and go sit on the chair he pulled for me, I’m not saying no to food. He set a big plate in front of me with pancakes, whipped cream, strawberries, and bananas, Yuk I hate bananas, next, he asks me if I want milk or juice. "Juice please" I answer him barley a whisper but he seems to be able to hear me fine.

"Dig in pumpkin, the rest will be up soon"
