Peek-a-boo!

"Where'd daddy go?" Jane said, comically hiding his face away.
His little girl had the cutest confused look on her face, her little eyebrows all furrowed and pouting.
"Peek-a-boo!" he exclaimed, smiling brightly as if he was a jack-in-the-box that just popped out.
And, like all babies, her reaction was predictable but still so sweet. The gurgling laughter and waving of her little arms and legs.
Jane grinned as Angela walked in, "Hello, you're back early," he said, leaning forwards just in time to catch her lips in a chaste kiss.
"Yoga finished early," she said, standing behind him and wrapping him up in a hug, "You're supposed to be getting her ready for naptime, Pat."
"Aww... " he pouted dramatically, earning applause from his baby girl.
"Just one more time?" he asked, making his voice sound as pitiful as possible.
His wife just rolled her eyes, leaned forwards to brush the golden lock of hair from her daughter's forehead, "Then you're on for the first shift tonight," she warned with a devious smile.
Patrick leaned towards the crib with a victorious smile, "It's so worth it..." he mused, hiding his face away, "Peek-a-boo!"
He wakes up. And both Angela and Charlotte are gone.
