'Heeeeere comes the oatmeal,Rosie!'
'Stop being daft and call her Rose. She's a Queen, not a silly nickname!'
'Your father's a real grouch-man, right, Rosie?'
Heath continued spooning cereal while Rose giggled and Wade scowled behind his paper.
'Oooooh,yay, Rosie! One more big bite for Daddy!'
'Eeee-yub!' Rose flung her hands up,knocking the bowl sky high.
All three watched...
as it fell...
With a splat onto a mass of gold-red hair.
'Yugh,Rosie! you got me good!'
Rose beamed and drooled.
'You deserved it,Foolish. Go wash the slop off you. And the oatmeal as well.'
'Jerk.'
Wade smiled and kept reading.
a moment later, something found its way to him.
His nostrils flared.
Rose's face had twisted into a pouting frown.
'Gracious, my Queen. You smell like Daddy after he's eaten fast food Mexican.'
Rose grinned and smacked her hands on her high chair tray.
'Let us go rid ourselves of your dirty diaper,shall we?'
Rose grinned more.
Father caring for her, a girl's dream came true.
'Dog!'
'Not quite, though your mess rivals the scent of one.'
'Dog!' Rose tried again.
'No dogs here and if Daddy tries to sneak one in,I'll toss him out.'
'Duhhhh-oggggg!'
'What is this dog?' Wade wondered, taking the powder from his husband.
'She,um, calls me a dog.'
'Good call, as you ARE a flea ridden mutt.'
'Yeah,better dog than an elephant.'
'That's your OPINION. Besides, nothing you say or do matters.'
'Not even me loving you?'
Wade hid his smile while washing his hands, turned back to his husband and lovely dark haired baby girl, hugged them both.
'Actually, that means everything to me.'
'Dog,dog, dog!' Rose bounced in her indoor swing seat. 'Fish,fish, fish!'
Wade peeked away from his IPad screen. 'You didn't.'
'I did.'
'i should break your guitar over your head.'
'You wouldn't be the first...Mr. Fish.'
Wade chose not to get angry since he was more flattered than furious and besides with a big goofy Ginger smile for him, he could never be upset.
'Dog! Fish!' Rose bounced like a rabbit.
Wade remained content.
His team was winning.
his Queen of a daughter was perfection, like himself.
His absurd husband was tolerable when quiet, very loyal and great in the sack.
This was a life to be proud of.
And he was.
