His face was being touched.

He could feel them, fingers tugging his beard.

His eyes opened, vision still blurry, groggy from last night's 'celebration', such was the life of a past midnight radio dj.

His own hands reached and held, mouth sleepily curling into a smile.

Flash of coppery hair that made his grin grow.

'Back for me,hmm, you daft?'

'Papa, your hands are COLD!'

The tiny voice scolding him woke him faster than electric shock.

'Oh!Oh its YOU,dear Wadjee. hello,little mouse.'

'Papa, Daddy says you better get your lazy butt out of bed.'

'You advise him he keeps demanding, I'll shave him bald in his sleep.'

'Yeah, you WISH you could.' Larger Ging appearing from the hallway, wearing that asinine 'Zombie Hunter' apron.

An APRON! Wade groaned, put the pillow over his head and rolled away from the sight.

'Oh no, you don't! You can help make brunch right along with us, Twinkle Toes!'

'Get off of me, Imbecile Housewife!'

'Nope and me and Wadjee will KEEP smacking you with pillows until you get out of bed.'

'Please, Father, we've cooked eggs and they're cooling.'

his Queen, Rose, only preteen still and for him the most lovely woman of all.

His perfect, beautiful daughter, dark hair down her back and big serious eyes, his eyes.

'You're correct,my Queen. It's your day to visit your mother.'

'It IS,Father.'

'Very good. You ready yourself,the men of the house shall finish the work.'

'Right.' Rose Layla kept her fake smile.

She loved Father but preferred Mother. Mother,who let her wear shorts and shirts, run and play and act silly,be a boy for once.

She was tired of being a 'lady', wearing dresses and being proper as Father approved of it.

but never objected since she never wanted to let her Father down.

'We're going to see Sissy's mommy!' Wade jr bounced along the parking lot.

'Yeah, and you behave and stay with me.' Heath held onto Wadjee's hands, like gripping a kite string in a hard breeze.

'Could I see MY mommy too?'

'Well,er...she's not here...'

'Where IS she?'

'I'm wanting to find out the answer as well.' Wade arched his eyebrows,grinned at his mate, kept a eye on Rose.

'Not now!' the whispery hiss.

'But when?'

'Some other...baby,don't eat that...it's yucky.' Heath distracted Wadjee from the smushed candy on the pavement, glad to not have to answer questions that made him uncomfortable.

For now anyway.

'You and small scoundrel have fun,you know where I'll be.'

'where the most mirrors are.'

'Foolish.'

'Yeah,right. Love you.'

'I love you as well.'

'And Sissy!' Wadjee chirped,breaking into the hug which produced laughter.

'Yes,and you as well,little mouse. I love my Queen and you AND your foolish Daddy.'

'and I love all of y'all, even YOU,Big Ears.'

'You picked a winner indeed.'

'yeah,ME.'

More chuckles and kissing and hugs all around.
