Eddie
Fathers day. My first one as an actual father and I'm not even with my child. I feel like my fucking father. No, I'm not him. He left me because he didn't want me, I have to do this. I slumped out of my bedroom in my suit. I'm going to forget. This isn't fathers day this is just Sunday.
"Mr. Miller are you sure you want to work today?" My maid asked. I glared at her and grabbed my prepared espresso.
"Yes, Gia I told you this yesterday," I snapped. She sighed.
"Maybe you could call Ms. Patricia," She said.
"I don't want to call Ms. Patricia. I talked to her last night and we got into an argument. I will call her tomorrow to apologize," I said. "Now have a good day Gia," I bitterly said before leaving the penthouse. I sat in the back of my Rolls Royce and glanced out the window. All I could see was delivery boys running flowers, all the stores and restaurants having specials, some teenager hugged her father as they walked to get breakfast. I stared forward. "Damn people blocking my way,"
"Sir-" My driver started. "Never mind,"
"That's what I thought," I said. I don't want fathers day to happen like every fucking year it's been a disappointment. The car stopped in front of the building and I walked straight to my office, locking the door behind me. No one was there just the janitors. I buried myself in work, smoked, drank and ate the whole day. Sometime around midnight one of the janitors came by to clean my office. He went over and started to sweep.
"Hello, Mr. Miller," He said.
"I guess I'm in your way," I said.
"No," He quickly said.
"Don't worry about it. I should get home before Gia starts to act like my mom," I sighed. I packed up and went home. I decided to take the stairs and unlocked the door. All the lights were off. "Gia," I called. I turned on the light and was shocked. The whole room was full of gifts and there was a huge card that said "Best Daddy in the world" Gia stepped out and smiled.
"Ms. Patricia sent you presents!" She squealed. "She knew you would leave and be all angry," I chuckled slightly.
"She really is amazing," I smiled opening the card.
Dear Daddy,
You're the best daddy ever. I want to hug you and kiss you and giggle with you. I wish I could be there to hang out with you. I love you dada!
In parentheses it said "written by Mummy" and then there was a scribble that I'm assuming is Ellie's signature. I smiled and felt a wet streak down my face. Was I crying? I haven't felt emotional since they left. Gia handed me and iPad and my girls were on the screen.
"Happy fathers day dada!" Patricia said holding up Ellie in her arms. Ellie blew into one of those horn things and I laughed. "Surprised?"
"Yeah I actually am," I said.
"Make sure you apologize to all your workers tomorrow for being a dick," She said. I chuckled.
"Yes, Patty." I said.
"Good now Ellie say your new favorite word," She cooed.
"Dada," Ellie smiled.
"D-did she just say?" I asked.
"Dada. Dada," Ellie cooed.
"We stayed up all night practicing for you daddy," Patricia said kissing our babies chubby cheek.
"Well daddies very thankful. He was feeling very sad," I said. I thought it'd be another shit fathers day but no my babies made it amazing.
-Ten years later-
Patricia
"I can't cook mommy," Ellie whined. I shushed her and pulled the flour out.
"We're making your father a very special breakfast. This is our first fathers day back with him," I said. "So suck it up and help me out,"
"Okay mommy," She said. She grabbed the eggs out of the fridge. "What are we making?"
"Pancakes, waffles, crepes, eggs, bacon, etc." I said.
"Can you cook?" She asked. I gave her a look.
"Don't question me little girl," I said ruffling her hair. "If all else fails then I'll order an amazing breakfast," She snorted and I flicked flour in her face. She huffed and I laughed.
"That's not funny," She tuted. "Unless I do it," She challenged then threw the bowl of sugar at me.
"Oh its on little girl," I said grabbing a few ingredients. She did the same and started throwing at me. I threw more flour at her. She squealed and ran throwing eggs behind her. I slipped and threw a stick of butter at her. It smacked her on the face and she threw cocoa powder at me. "That stains!"
"Alls fair in love and war mommy," She said throwing more at me. I poured milk over her head drenching her and she pouted.
"Aw I'm sorry sweetheart," I said behind down to her. She threw and egg in my face and ran squealing happily. "You tricked me!"
"Yeah!" She said running upstairs. I followed and we smeared food all through the hallways. She laughed until she got cornered in front of the master bedroom.
"No where to run," I grinned. She squealed and then fell backwards as the door opened. A half asleep Eddie was standing in the frame only in his boxers and his hair smushed. He blinked sleepily then his eyes bulged as he saw the mess we'd mad. Really Ellie and I have only been here for a few months, so Eddie is still adjusting to how we act.
"What have you done?" He asked moving Ellie out of the way and storming down the hallway.
"Daddy wait!" Ellie squealed but it was too late. Eddie tripped down the stairs on the milk that had dripped from Ellie. He fell down the stairs while Ellie and I shared a look. This was not going as planned. We followed after him and helped him sit up. He moaned and I saw a big red spot on his forehead.
"Oh baby I'm so sorry," I said. I kissed the bruise. "Ellie go get some ice," She nodded and ran down the hallway and I propped my baby up. He moaned again.
"My back hurts," He whined.
"Don't worry Daddy, tonight Mommy will massage you," I promised.
"Yeah she better," He said rubbing his forehead. "Is it that noticeable?" It looked like a horn.
"No sweetheart, not at all," I promised. I know no one will say anything because he'll beat them up if they do.
"Good," He said. Ellie came back with the icepack.
"I'm sorry Daddy, we were just trying to make breakfast," Ellie apologized. Eddie pulled her close and kissed her forehead.
"It's alright my princess me and your mother did this stuff all the time, she enjoys starting fights," He said.
"Hey!" I butted in. He smiled and pulled me into the hug too.
"I love you girls," He said kissing both our heads.
"We love you too," Ellie and I said in unison.
I did it! I did it! I didn't get lazy! Yessssssss! So I decided since Eddie didn't have the girls for the first ten years he would be kind of lonely but that would be kind of depressing so I did one when they came back too. Tell me what you think and see if you remember which miller comes next in age. Byeeee my loves
