A series of one-shots about life in the Mitchell household. Cam is married to Audry, an OC of mine that I will eventually write a story about. They have four kids. In age order: Cody, Benjamin, Austin, and Madelyn.
Three-year-old Madelyn burst through the back door and flung herself dramatically into Cam's lap, nearly spilling the cup of coffee in his hand.
"Maddy! Geez, what're you doin', kid?" he exclaimed, quickly setting the cup down.
Her face was buried in his shirt so her answer was a little unclear but it was a familiar problem. "Won't pway with me."
"The boys won't play with you?" he asked, tickling her gently to get her to look up.
She squirmed away from his fingers but kept her head down. "They mean."
He stopped tickling and wrapped both arms around her petite frame. "Baby girl, what were you tryin' to play with them?"
She sniffed. "Football."
Cam smothered a laugh with his hand, picturing his tiny girl trying to keep up with her three older brothers. "Don't you think you're a bit little to be playin' football with the boys?"
She raised her head, indignance written all over her tear-stained face. "Daddy! I'm big!"
"Sorry, sorry," he said, kissing her head and still trying to keep his face serious. "You're right, you're big. But your brothers are bigger."
Her lip popped out and she buried her face in his chest again. "I'm mad."
He hugged her and dropped another kiss to her hair. "How 'bout we play somethin', just you an' me."
She looked up at him again. "No bruvvers?"
He grinned at her. "No brothers."
