I got a promotion at work! So instead of having one day off a week, I'll have at least three! Woot! That means I will have more time to write! I tried actually writing about the actual Trick or treating experience but, that was hard to write. -_- Ugh anyway, I'm probably going to update again sometime tomorrow.

R Treat

"Well, don't you look excited." It was almost time to go out, and he was not looking forward to the last part of his so called costume. He really disliked the idea of wearing teddy bear ears, but at least they were a decent color. If they would have been pink, like the ones on the babies costume. He would have gladly slept on the couch for a week to get out of something that feminine.

"Yeah, yeah, just put the damn things on." At least she wasn't making him wear the tail, they were all matching besides that fact. It was kind of chilly, so he was glad the baby's costume was so warm. He wasn't sure where she found a full body suit in pink for her, but he was glad she couldn't find one in his size.

He wasn't too fond of wearing the color pink, he honestly would rather wear purple any day if he had to wear a bright color. This was probably the second time he ever wore this shirt, the first being the baby shower. He wasn't falling for his wives bull shit excuse for wearing all black either. "Umm babe…" He looked at her curiously, he was wondering why she was just standing there. "I cant reach…"

He tried to hide his smile, sometimes he forgot how much taller he was than her unless they were standing right next to each other. "Sorry." He bent so he was almost eye level with her. "Lets get this over with." She rolled his eyes at his complaint, he was probably going to complain all night on purpose just to annoy her. Even when him bending uncomfortably she still had to reach to get his ears in place. He didn't wear head bands, so he had no idea what to do with it.

"There, is that so bad?" she was still playing in his hair, making sure it wasn't sticking up, when she noticed the look he was her. "What are you smiling about?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. The blush on her face, and her loss for words afterwards, brought back a lot of memories. She used to always get flustered when he surprised her like that, but he hadn't seen that reaction in a long time. *I've still got it!*

"Come on babe, lets go get some candy."

"If you don't stop giving her candy or she's gonna be up all night." He rolled his eyes at his dad, he knew he should of stopped after the first one, but he loved watching her smack her lips when she tried the different flavors. "And look her little face is all messy." He was right about that, she kept getting sucker all over her face, and it was sticking to everything. But that didn't stop her from going back for more.

"I'm gonna go clean her up, once she's sleep, I want to leave her that way." He wasn't looking forward to trying to clean her when she was tired, she was a sticky mess and she was always cranky when he tried to wipe her face. Even when he just used baby wipes, or just tried to wipe her nose with a kleenex she would whine, cry, and throw a fit about it.

It was only with him though, every time her mom went to clean her she was happy and giggling about it, she wasn't even six months and she was already playing favorites. "Hold still, daddy's gotta clean you up." She kept turning her head back and forward trying to stop him from wiping her face with the cloth. Her whining turned into a full on scream by the time he was done, with her face and hands.

"Come on, what's that all about? You're just stubborn like your mama is." She was just all around cranky today, as soon as they showed up at her grandpa's house she wouldn't stop crying, and she was fussy on the back end of their trick or treating. First she was crying because she was too hot, so he changed her into a sleeper and she seemed okay, then she was fussy because he wasn't feeding her candy fast enough. Now she was tired, and wet, which wasn't a very good mixture when you were tiny, with a not so tiny temper.

His wife went home hours ago because she wasn't feeling good, and she deserved a break from the baby every once in a while. Nine times out of ten she had the baby attached to her hip, and the baby liked it that way. Every time he was alone with his daughter, he learned something new, usually something surprising. And most of the time something so cute he had to awe over it.

Like the other day, he came home from work and picked her and she threw herself into his chest and rubbed her face against him and started laughing. He wasn't expecting his daughter to be able to hug him back so soon, but it was just so precious. Another one was when she was drinking out of a bottle the other day she gave a big "ahhh" every time she was done drinking it. Her little personality was coming out, and he was eager to learn more.

He liked learning which traits she picked up from who, like she would fake cry and throw a tantrum when she didn't get attention like she wanted, and that was something she got from his dad, between his tantrums and the baby's tantrums he didn't know who to listen to first. She was smiley like him, she always seemed to be giggling about something, even if she was just laying in her play pin staring at the nothing.

"Is my baby tired?" She finally cried herself out, and was down to a whimper in-between yawns now. Even her hands shot up to rub her eyes, before she yawned again. She was fighting sleep, but it looked like she was losing, by the time she was in the car she was almost there, and she didn't stand a chance on the ride home. She deserved a night of rest after crying because of scary masks and costumes, and being awed at every couple of minutes.

"Come on, lets get you home.

Little cranky baby, taking kids out can be super hectic. They always seem to get dirty, get angry, and get into stuff. But they can be love able at the same time, babies give the best hugs, and kisses. Maliyah's a pro at it already. I should get out of baby mode and get back to writing. -Chesxca
