'Polly, wake up sweetheart'
Dixie smiled down at her daughter as she mumbled something about Jeff singing.
'Come on Missy it's a big day' she encouraged as her daughter finally opened her eyes and looked up at her mother.
'Santa's been?!' She suddenly asked excitedly pushing the cover off her and jumping onto her mother.
'No, sweetheart Santa hasn't been it's your first day at school remember'
Dixie had to hide her laughs as her daughter suddenly crawled back into her bed complaining that Santa hadn't been.
It took another ten minutes but finally Dixie managed to get her daughter out of bed and downstairs.
'Where's daddy?'
'Being lazy'
Polly looked up at her mother trying her best puppy dog eyes.
'Yes you can go get him up now, go before your breakfast is ready'
Dixie laughed at her daughter's excited smile before watching her run off to the couple's bedroom.
Polly knew what to do as she heard her father's snoring she quietly pushed the door open and as quietly as the four year old could she walked over to her mother's side of the bed pulling herself up she gently moved so she was right beside his ear before screaming 'cocadoodledoo' as loud as she could.
Jeff jumped out of his skin almost falling out of the bed wondering what the hell that was when he heard the tiny giggles of his daughter, moving swiftly he grabbed her feet in one hand and started tickling with the other which earned him squeals and begs to stop.
'Daddy...Please' she laughed hugging her sides.
'What was that princess I can't hear anything, someone shouted really really loudly in my ear' he laughed back earning louder shrieks.
Polly managed to wiggle her way out of her father's grasp and jumping off the bed ran as fast as she could out of the room and to the stairs stopping and dropping so she was sat on the top step before sliding down the rest on her bottom, it was the way she had been taught to go down the stairs by herself she was forbidden to run down the stairs by both her mother and father. They as paramedics had seen many injuries involving stairs and the fact that they had almost lost Polly when Dixie had fallen down the stairs led to their strict safety rules.
Once Jeff heard Polly get to the bottom of the stairs he jumped out of his bed and exaggerated his footsteps so they could hear him down stairs and decided to have a quick shower before Dixie beat him to it and used all the hot water.
Dixie was about to put the kettle on when a tiny figure suddenly clung to her legs laughing she bent down and scooped the little giggling girl up.
'Daddy's up' she declared triumphantly.
'I guessed, did he get you again?'
This earned a very serious face 'nope I fighted him off' Polly exclaimed showing Dixie her tiny fists.
'That's my girl'
Dixie put Polly in her seat placing a plate of egg and soldiers in front of her much to the young girls delight before taking her own seat at the table with her usual cup of coffee.
Soon Jeff joined the two with his own bacon and egg sandwich Dixie had put ready, 'How are my two favourite girlies this morning?' he asked around a mouthful of bacon.
'Santa hasn't been daddy'
Jeff glanced to his wife raising an eyebrow in question.
'Because someone didn't want to get out of bed this morning and then when I said it was a big day she thought I meant Christmas' laughed Dixie.
'Ohh well I've been on the phone to Santa and he said that if little miss Polly is a good girl at school today there might just be a present ready for her when she gets home' He explained winking at his wife before turning to see Polly's reaction.
Both parents laughed as Polly looked up in delight with yolk running down her chin 'Weally?'
'Yes hunny' assured Dixie laughing at her daughters miss pununciation something she was slowly growing out of.
'Can we go see Uncle Lion and Uncle Nick?' the young girl asked after a while of silence.
'After school we can stop by the hospital if you would like mammy has to pick up some things anyway' agreed Dixie much to Polly's delight.
After clearing up the breakfast things and giving lil abs his breakfast Dixie went up for a shower leaving Jeff and Polly to watch some cartoons Dixie had purposely gotten the two up early enough so they would have time to mess around as she knew how much getting ready the two of them took.
Finally, emerging from the bathroom Dixie smiled as she could hear Jeff and Polly singing the SpongeBob Squarepants theme tune she was convinced that Jeff enjoyed that show more than Polly she had even caught him watching it without their daughter before.
Soon the pair found themselves stood outside their daughter's new school waiting for the bell to go, they had noticed Polly wasn't at all nervous instead she had found two of her closest friends from nursery (who Jeff had given the nickname the three musketeers too) and they were all running around playing.
Jeff had sensed Dixie's anxiety although she was managing to keep herself pulled together quite well he still quietly took her hand in his and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Soon Polly came running up to the pair with her friends in toe.
'Mammy! Guess what' she shouted jumping up and down.
'What sweetheart?'
'Becca has the same bag as me' she shouted making both girls jump around even more excitedly.
'What a shocker' muttered Jeff the two girls had become very close in their nursery class and both loved anything Pink and glittery which had shocked Jeff and Dixie as it was quiet different to anything they themselves were like.
'Very good darling, are you all excited?'
'Yeah!'
'Yep'
'No'
Were the responses Dixie got which made her laugh her daughter seemed to be the most excited but she frowned when she heard the no and looked over to see Sean, Polly's other best friend looking pretty fed up.
'Why not Sean?'
'Cos I'm gonna miss SpongeBob' he complained making both adults laugh out loud.
Soon the bell went signalling the start of the school day and after a quick hug Polly ran off with her friends and joined the line for her new class.
Jeff led Dixie out of the school playground 'Ok princess?'
'Yeah, if she's ok then I'm ok'
'That's my girls.'
After the pair spent the day running errands they had been putting off for a while including doing some food shopping which had ended with an argument over cake they finally were on their way back to the school ready to pick Polly up.
'I hope she's enjoyed it'
'Me to Princess, but you know our Pol she'll have made friends with everyone' Jeff commented laughing.
Looking around the school yard Dixie could see the other parents all with similar expressions some were anxious and others looked relieved, then as she scanned the crowd one face seemed familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it turning to Jeff she pointed at the women.
'Do you recognise her?'
'Yeah, wasn't she in an RTA?'
'That's it! Should we go over and see how she's doing?'
'If you want to'
Jeff followed Dixie as they made their way through the crowd and approached the young women.
'Hi, I'm Dixie, this is Jeff' Dixie introduced herself to the young women who at first looked confused then suddenly her face lit up and recognition flashed across her features.
'Oh, you were the paramedics a couple of months ago'
'Yeah, anyway we just thought we would see how you're doing?'
'I'm getting there thanks' to you two, I had internal bleeding a dislocated shoulder and other injuries' explained the young women.
'You're looking really well' commented Jeff
'Yeah It's been a long few month's but I think I'm finally getting there'
Before the conversation could go much further the bell went and a chorus of 'Mammy and Daddy!' could be heard across the school yard.
Dixie soon spotted Polly and Becca who came running towards them after showing their teacher their parents were there.
Much to Jeff and Dixie's shock Becca ran straight to the young women they had been talking to shouting 'Mammy!'
'Your Rebecca's mother?' Laughed Dixie.
'Yeah, Jane' She laughed shaking their hands 'I take it Polly is your little one?'
'Yeah, really is a small world' Replied Jeff laughing.
As the small group said their goodbyes Jeff took Polly's hand 'So munchkin how was your first day?'
'It was great we painted and we played in the sandbox' she explained swinging their arms in an over exaggerated fashion.
'So do you like it then?'
'Yeah, can I go again tomorrow?' she replied climbing in the back of the car.
'Yeah hunny' they laughed pleased they weren't going to encounter any arguments about having to go to school. Just yet anyway.
