Chapter 2-

"Daddy! Wakeee up! Wake up!" I felt little feet jumping all over my bed and cracked one eye open to watch Paige fly around like a crazy child.

I closed my eye again and pretended to sleep.

"Daddy!"

I lunged up with a war cry and tackled her onto the bed, tickling her while she screamed hysterically.

"Uncle! Uncle! Daddy stop!" she giggled.

I leaned back "Will you jump on me again munchkin?"

"Yes!" and she leapt off the bed with a cackle and ran into the kitchen.

"Then ill tickle you again you little monster!" I yelled.

I grabbed a shirt and padded into the kitchen to see Paige grabbing orange juice from the fridge.

I raise my eyebrow "What are you doing?"

"Getting Orange Juice daddy, duh."

"You shouldn't sass me at such a young age, daughter dear. And you know you are not supposed to grab juice yourself, not after what happened last time."

She sighed dramatically "That jug of milk spilled itself Daddy."

I scoffed and grabbed the juice out of her hand "Sure it did, kid." I grabbed a kid dinosaur cup out of the cupboard and poured her some juice.

"Do you want toast or cheerios munchkin?"

"You should really learn how to cook different foods, daddy." She said as she sipped her juice at the table.

I look over at her "Toast, Cheerios or nothing munchkin?" I laugh.

"Cheerios, daddy."

"That's what I thought." I grabbed a bowl that had Cars characters on them and poured some cereal before adding a spoon and some milk. I usually let Paige pick out her own dishes, and lately it was a dinosaurs and Cars phase.

I set it on the table in front of her and went back into the kitchen to grab coffee.

I sat at the table with my coffee and watched her eat.

She looked up with 3 cheerios stuck to her cheek and smiled. "Whatchya doing daddy?"

"Watching you eat like a pig, daughter dear." I laughed.

"I just know how to enjoy the food I'm given, don't be jelly."

"Jelly? Where the heck did you get that one?"

"Elise's sister said it the other day while I was at her house. What does it mean?"

Elise's sister Tanya was 16, and constantly telling Paige weird sayings. So, it made sense that Tanya had taught her "Jelly". I shook my head at that ridiculousness and made a note to myself to talk to Tanya. I wanted to understand my daughter when she speaks.

I laugh "I think it means jealous, but we'll have to ask Elise. Speaking of, you need to get ready and I need to get ready for work."

She jumped off her chair and ran to her room screaming "Okay Daddy!"

I put her bowl in the sink and walk to my bathroom. I turn the water on and jump in. After my shower I wrap a towel around my waist and grab a toothbrush.

I pause to yell out to Paige "You doing alright out there munchkin?"

"YES!"

I chuckle and put toothpaste on before brushing.
