It was a normal Monday morning, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and Killian Jones was just getting lost in the magic dreamland once again when he felt a small hand on his leg that was hanging out from the bed.
He grunted and pulled his leg back under the covers. The small hands returned but this time they pushed the covers from Killian's head and a small voice whispered in his ear.
"Killy...Killy wake up." The small voice said.
"Mmm not now little love, it's early, go back to sleep." Killian murmured and turned his back from the little disturbing human being.
"But Killyyy..." The voice whined.
"...you promised me that you'll gonna take me to the beach today."
"That's right little love, but we agreed that we'll go after we had lunch and when the water will be a little warmer. Don't want you to catch a cold sweetie." Killian murmured in the mess of pillows his head rested in.
"But uncle Killy it's noon already." His niece replied.
There was a grunt as a reply and then Killian jumped from the bed, cursing under his breath.
"Bloody hell! Why didn't your dad wake me up?" He asked and combed his hand through his messy hair.
"Daddy already left and said that if you don't wake up soon I should wake you. So I did." His 8 years old niece said.
"I'm sorry love but I had a long day yesterday and came home really late. Okay, come on, you already ate right?" Killian asked as he stood in front of his closet.
"No, I only had breakfast and it was a long time ago." As soon as she said it, her little stomach started growling.
"What!?" Killian let out a high pitched scream.
"Yes, daddy said that you'll make me lunch and then we'll go."
"Oh my god Zoey, you should have woken me sooner if you were hungry."
"I wanted, but you looked so pacefull so I didn't want to wake you up." Zoey said shyly.
Killian's face softened and he crouched down so he was on eye level with her and looked in her bright blue eyes.
"Little love, if you need something or if something happened you have to tell me. It doesn't matter if I'm sleeping or working okay?"
"Okay Killy." Zoey said in a small voice.
"Okay c'mon let's find something to eat. And not a word to your dad of this, deal?"
"Deal." Zoey replied and grinned. Killian grinned too and kissed her chubby cheek.
He stood up and together they made their way to the kitchen.
