Daddy's little girl.
Chapter 1
He drops his suitcase by the door
She knows her daddy wont be back, anymore
She drags her feet across the floor
Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on
And she says
"Daddy, Daddy!" shouted Jessie as her dad walked through the door.
"Hey princess!" he answered, picking her up and swinging her around.
"I missed you daddy! We were making models in school today!" she smiled, showing him a picture of her work.
"That's great my little princess!"
Jessie loved her dad more than anything, and he loved her. She was his only little girl, his special girl.
"Is that you Elliot?" asked Mia, coming from the kitchen with a screaming baby Charlie in her arms. "A little help please honey?"
"Sure thing Mia," Elliot replied and he kissed Jessie on the forehead before setting her down on the floor.
"You really shouldn't baby her like that, Elliot," Jessie heard her mother and father talking in the living room that night.
"She's my only girl, our only girl Mia," Elliot replied.
"But the boys.. they hate that you give her all the attention! We have to treat them the same. If she gets lots of attention, so do the boys. It's as simple as that."
"Fine. I'll stop giving her so much attention." Elliot mumbled and he lay back on the sofa to watch TV.
Jessie walked back to her room and got into bed, and fell asleep thinking about what her mom had said.
"Morning princess!" Elliot smiled, opening Jessie's curtains and looking down at her. "Wakey wakey sleepy head!"
Jessie turned over to see her dad and smiled.
"Morning daddy, I heard you and mommy talking last night." she said.
"Oh, that." he replied. "Mommy just thinks I don't pay enough attention to your brothers, that's all princess."
"Oh, okay daddy!"
Elliot heard his eldest twins , Alex and Luke, arguing so he went to see what they were arguing about. Jessie got into her favorite T-Shirt and then put her dungarees on. She ran downstairs and slipped her pink trainers on.
"Pancakes for breakfast, Jessie?" asked Mia, pouring golden syrup onto a pancake and giving it to her.
"Thank you mommy! You're the best cook in the world!" she exclaimed and sat at the table with her plate.
"Thank you mommy, you're the best cook ever!" mimiced her brother George and laughed. Charlie joined in laughing even though he was too young to understand what he was laughing at.
"Quit it George!" Jessie mumbled, and ate her pancake as he pulled faces at her.
"Stop annoying your sister you little monkey!" Elliot joked, swatting at him playfully. "Alex, Luke eat your breakfast, Jessie go play in the garden with George." Ordered Elliot, and they all obeyed.
"You are so much better with the kids than me hon." Smiled Mia, kissing Elliot.
"You're the best with the little spud Charlie though, aren't you!" he laughed, and he went upstairs to get changed.
