Michael Brings Your Daughter to Work to Visit You
Reader x 2018 Michael Myers
*Sorry, I love Peepaw Myers with all my heart and even though OG and RZ have a special place in my heart, Peepaw overtakes it. ❤️*
You had been having a rough day at work. You had been running late and got stuck by a crossing train, causing you to be ten minutes late to your job.
You hated being late, especially if it was for a new job.
What was funny was that you were a minute late the day before due to school traffic, so you left home ten minutes earlier to take a long route to bypass the school zones.
That was until an idle train sat at the crossing, dividing you from your place of work. The only other way around being two miles away and through the west end of town, sure to hit traffic yet again as well as other traffic lights.
Having no time to text Michael to let him know you made it to work OK, you rushed inside to clock in, getting straight to work in hopes of making up for lost time.
And yes, Michael hasn’t destroyed the phone you gave him to keep in contact with him throughout the day.
And no, he doesn’t like the little device, but if it keeps in touch with you when you’re not around, he’s not complaining.
However, it made you laugh when he would randomly text you a letter because he doesn’t know how texting works.
But by golly he could send photos of what he was doing when you asked. Nine times out of ten it would be a picture of what he was working on.
And no, he’d never take or send you a selfie. Although the thought is nice.
It was like passing a Judicial Bill to get him to take a photo with you at family events.
He really liked to take things apart and put them back together.
Although you’d think he likes to make weapons…
You had just returned to work after maternity leave, frustrated that you couldn’t get back on a normal sleeping routine due to the long break.
It was late Fall and freezing temperatures began to present as the days went on.
Even with no ice on the road, Michael worried about your commute every day and began to get nervous after not hearing from you for roughly an hour.
Sending you a text message first, he simply asked: “Did you make it to work okay?”
You had heard your phone go off, but couldn’t check it right away due to an early morning rush coming into the office - meaning that paperwork needed to be done by noon and finalized by three o’clock.
You worked as a receptionist for a veterinarian's office in the middle of town. You enjoyed it because you got to see different animals every day and every shift wasn’t the same. Although it did have the downside, which tugged at your heartstrings.
Working hastily, you had skipped your breakfast and was dying for noon, growing frustrated that your lunch break would take place at 12:30 instead of 12:00 due to a Friday morning rush.
With the time now being 12:15, you looked up to greet the next client after hearing the bell on the door ring. Smiling instantly at the little infant, you immediately recognized your daughter as Michael held her securely in his arms.
Unfortunately, Michael was not the true father of your little girl. However, he had saved you from a nasty and abusive situation while you were pregnant with her - the father, and your now ex-boyfriend, didn’t live to tell his side of the story.
You had known Michael for years prior, tending to him and many other patients at Smith’s Grove, serving as a nurse for nearly fifteen years before thinking you had settled down with the man of your dreams. However, it was not the case.
You were grateful that Michael accepted you even though you had another man’s child, but he took the child as his own to be a better father than your ex - and now dead - boyfriend would be.
Smiling at him, he returned the gesture and sat down in the waiting area, admiring your little girl as she was awake and aware of her surroundings, her big brown eyes looking at the dogs and lights in the waiting area.
Once you were dismissed from your break, you greeted him and your daughter with a smile, Michael bending down to level the baby to you as you kissed her temple, never getting tired of the “new baby” smell. “I definitely wasn’t expecting this. Thank you.” You smiled, greeting him with a kiss.
God, he smelled good.
“You look beautiful today.” He complimented, loving you in scrubs, especially the blue bottoms with the patterned top. He never got tired of it.
“Thank you. I can say the same about you,” You blushed. “What do you want for lunch today?”
“I brought you something. Figured you didn’t want to get stuck in traffic for a half hour.”
You smiled, nodding in agreement before Michael handed you the baby, exiting the building to retrieve the lunch he had brought you, which was your favorite lunch - leftovers from the supper before.
