Baby Steps

Chapter 14

Lizzie got out of the bed, and woke up Daniella.

"It's Daddy's birthday; do you want to help me make breakfast?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes!" Daniella almost shouted.

"It's supposed to be a surprise, you don't want to be too loud," Lizzie said with a grin on her face.

Daniella responded with a finger to her lips. They tip- toed into the kitchen because Daniella thought that was the most reasonable way to move. Once they got to the kitchen, Lizzie got out the pancake batter box.

"Daniella, do you want to stir the batter?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes, Mommy!" Daniella answered with enthusiasm.

Lizzie added in the ingredients and Daniella started stirring, when she was done there was flour on her nose.

"Well, how'd that get there?" Lizzie asked with a grin on her face.

"What?" Daniella asked.

"There's flour on your nose!" Lizzie laughed as she wiped the batter of Daniella's nose.

"Oops," Daniella said with a smirk on her face.

Then, Lizzie started cooking the pancakes. Jack started to lick Daniella's ankles.

"Jack, stop," Daniella giggled.

"Honey, there's flour on your ankles too," Lizzie smirked.

"Ok. Please continue Jack," Daniella laughed.

When the pancakes were done, Lizzie added cinnamon to the top of each mixed berry pancake. Then, she threw some sausages on the plate, and they both headed to the bedroom. While Daniella was holding the platter, the sausages fell off the plate.

"Sorry," Daniella said.

They went back into the kitchen and fixed more sausage. They got to the bedroom with no more spills. Lizzie picked up Lily, and Daniella and Lizzie yelled, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!"

Daring thanked them for the card and breakfast, which he ate very quickly. Then, they went to The Mad Hatter's Haberdashery and Tea Shoppe, for a mad birthday party.

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Daring's birthday is April 30, in my story anyway. Please review what you thought in the comment section. J
