I forgot to mention, if you've read my Sister Location: In real Life story, this is not in any way related to it. Soz about the long wait, I meant to publish on Tuesday.

I sit on my bed, twirling my hair and playing my princess cd. The knife is stashed away inside my plastic kitchen, in my tent. Nobody else knows I have it, apart from my teddies. One of them got too suspicious so I cut him up and blamed it on the dog.
"Cody here!" Cody toddles in, distracting me from my thoughts. "Cody play?"
I sigh, "No, Cody, Baby's busy."
"Baby play now, be busy later!" He smiles as if he's just thought up a genius idea. I huff, "Fine. What do you want to play?" But Cody has toddled off. Seriously, he has the attention span of a goldfish! I switch on the tv.
"Cody, finding Nemo is on." I call.
A voice comes from the tent, "Cody cutting!"
Oh no, he can't have that! I jump into the tent and take the sharp knife away from me. He wails.
"No! Babys knife!" I scold him as a shadow appears at the door.
"Who's knife?"
I put the knife in the microwave and get a plastic one from the sink. "Daddy I'm the mommy! Cody's the baby and babies can't have knives!" I wave the plastic knife at him.
"Maybe Cody doesn't want to play" Daddy suggests, "Do you want to watch Finding Nemo, Cody?"
Cody put his hands up to Daddy to be lifted. I glare at him. He can walk, he has legs. He's four like I'm six. I follow them down the stairs and then turn the other way to the kitchen and sit next to Mommy. "Hey Baby!" she ruffles my hair fondly. "Daddy has a present for you."
"A present?" I gasp and run to the living room singing and jump onto the sofa from behind. "Presents!" I giggle.
"Presents?" Daddy smirks at me, "I have no presents."
Cody is hugging new teddies, plushies of Daddy's animatronics.
"Daddy I want one!" I look eagerly at Cody's Bonnie plushie. "Daddy it's not fair if Cody has presents."
"Ok," Daddy laughs, "In that bag over there."
I open the bag and find, not plushies but action figures.
"The big pink foxy you can take apart and put it back together. We have one at work."
I hug them "Oh, Daddy they're so cool!"
"And, Baby," He beckons me to sit next to him and whispers in my ear, "You are gonna help me and Henry design new animatronics."
I hug him. He is the best Daddy ever!
