"Ugh, I don't think I'm well enough." Hanna whispered when she woke up on Monday morning.
"I can take Tiff to school." Caleb said.
"I need to make her lunch." Hanna said, sitting up, but Caleb pushed her back down. "Caleb, I need to make her packed lunch."
"I can do it. Tell me what she has, and I'll make it. I'll drop her to school, and then I'll come back here. And then when Tiff needs to be picked up, I'll pick her up, and then bring her home. What about it?"
"That seems good. She has ham in her sandwich, and she doesn't like bread, so put it in a French bread roll." Hanna said. "And then put some crisps, and two biscuits. Don't pack her bag, because she likes to do that. Wake her up, once you've finished her lunch, and then get her dressed, but not in a princess dress, but in something similar. And do you have work?"
"I can do it, and I don't have work today, so I can look after you." Caleb said. "Now go back to sleep." He said, pressing his lips to hers for a quick kiss. He gave her a wink before he walked to the kitchen, and started to make Tiff's lunch. He finished making her lunch five minutes later. He walked into the bathroom, and had a quick shower. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he walked into Hanna's room, and started getting dressed in something casual.
"I could get used to that." Hanna mumbled, smiling slightly.
Caleb chuckled, and walked over to Hanna, and knelt by her bed. "Go, to sleep." Caleb whispered, and kissed her forehead.
"I could've, but then you came in with a towel, not fair, Caleb." Hanna mumbled, and Caleb kissed her forehead again.
Caleb walked into his daughter's bedroom, and gently shook her awake until Tiffany's eyes fluttered open. "Good morning, princess."
"Morning daddy." Tiff whispered, stretching her arms up. "Where's mummy?"
"She's still not feeling well, so you'll have to teach me what you do on Mondays while we're getting you dressed." Caleb said.
"Can I wear a princess dress?" Tiff asked, smiling innocently.
Caleb chuckled. "Nice try princess." Tiff folded her bottom lip as she smiled. "But mummy said you can wear a dress like it."
"A pink dress with pumps." Tiff said, and Tiff talked what she would do during the day, while Caleb helped her to get dressed. "And then I'll say to bye bye to Bella, and you'll pick me up."
"That sounds like a busy day." Caleb said, as he gave Tiff a bowl of her cereal she'd chosen to have that morning. "And what are you gonna do when we get back here?"
"I'm gonna say hello to mummy." Tiff said, once she swallowed a spoonful.
…
"Bye daddy." Tiff said, wrapping her arms around his neck before she ran off into the room. "Hey Bella." She said, giving her a hug to which Bella returned.
"Hey Tiff." Bella said, and then leaned in close by Tiff's ear. "There's new boy."
Tiff giggled, and cupped her hands around Bella's ear. "What's his name?"
"John."
"Should we say 'Hi'?"
Bella shrugged.
…
"So, you're Tiff's dad?" Dani asked, coming up to Caleb who nodded. "I'm Dani. Tiffany's best friends mum, and Hanna's friend."
"Ah," Caleb said, nodding his head.
"So, what's your name? I mean I've got to know my daughters best friends dad."
"Caleb Rivers."
Dani smiled at him. "Well, how's it going? I know what happened, so might as well tell me how you're feeling about it."
"Its good, Tiff's great, she's adorable."
"Ugh, I know. So, where's Hanna? She's usually on the dot, always here."
"She's ill, she's got the flu."
"Wow, first day off in four years." Dani said. "Thought she'd never break that streak."
Caleb raised his eyebrows.
"Even if Hanna has had a migraine, she's always been on the dot, never thought she'd break it." Dani said, chuckling. "Anyways, I have got to go to work, it was great meeting you, but I'll probably see you at pick up time anyway."
Caleb smiled.
…
"Hey, you're awake." Caleb said, as he entered the apartment, and as she exited the bathroom. "You feeling okay?"
"I just vomited." Hanna said, stretching. "But I'm dandy." She said, sarcastically as she walked back into her bedroom, and collapsed on the bed. Caleb kicked off his shoes, and walked into her bedroom. He covered her with the covers.
"But, are you feeling okay? You didn't answer my question."
Hanna breathed out. "Bit shitty. How did you do?"
"I did pretty well, I met Dani."
"I love her, she's a sweetheart."
"She seems nice."
"She is."
…
"Tarzan is way better than Cinderella." John said to Tiffany and Bella.
"Nu-uh!" Tiff said. "Tarzan is just swinging on vines, and banging his chest, and screaming. Like this," Tiff paused, balled up her fists, and banged her chest while screaming. "But Cinderella is dancing with a prince."
"And Cinderella has a fairy godmother, who turns a pumpkin into a carriage." Bella said.
"That's pretty cool, but, like, he's living in the jungle, and he's swinging on vines, and he's friends with all the animals, like the apes." John said. "And Cinderella was a slave."
"So does Mowgli." Tiff said, referring to the boy from The Jungle Book. "And he's friends with a bear called Baloo."
"And they sing Bear Necessities." Bella said.
"But what about Simba? He sang Hakuna Matata. And there's Mufasa who's the king lion." John added.
…
"Daddy!" Tiff shouted, and then ran to Caleb, and he picked her up, balancing her on his hip.
"Hey princess, what did you do today? Was it as busy as you said it was gonna be?" Caleb asked.
Tiff shook her head, smiling.
"Then what did you do?"
"It was even busier than I thought it would be." Tiff said.
"What happened?" Caleb asked.
"There's this new kid, and he's called John, and Bella and I stayed with him for the whole day, doing what we were gonna do, but with a third person."
"Wow, did you have fun?"
Tiff nodded, smiling. She got out her father's grip, and then walked over to Bella who was talking to John.
"Interesting, never embrace the new kids when you're older." Dani said, walking over to Caleb, and standing beside him.
"I know, all the cliques, don't want to meet new people." Caleb said.
"They probably had an argument about Disney or something." Dani said, and the two quietly chuckled.
"Are you Bella and Tiff's parents or something other?" A lady asked, coming up to the two.
"Ah, I'm Bella's mum, Dani. I'm guessing you're John's mum then?" Dani said.
"Yeah, I'm Lea, we just moved here." Lea said.
"I'm Caleb, Tiff's dad. Its nice to meet you."
"Likewise." Lea said. "Apparently Bella and Tiff were talking about Cinderella and John butted in saying how Tarzan was better."
The three adults chuckled together. "Always Disney." Dani said. "That's how Tiff and Bella met. Bella was drawing Cinderella and Tiff was drawing Cinderella."
Caleb and Lea chuckled.
…
"Come on Tiff." Caleb said.
"Daddy, one second, okay." Tiff said, not even turning around to face him.
"I thought you wanted to say hello to mummy?"
Tiff sighed. "You're right."
"Come on." Caleb said. "You can see your friends for the rest of the week. How about that?"
"Okay."
…
"You're awake." Tiff said, running over to Hanna who lifted the little girl on her lap.
"How was school?"
"I made a new friend, his name is John, and Bella and me and John talked about Disney for the whole day."
"Wow, was it fun?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, he's cool." Tiff said.
"That's good."
I'm stuck, seriously I'm having such bad writers block you have no idea. So if you could give me some ideas, that would be absolutely perfect, because UGH! AND THE TEDDY BEAR SCENE OMFG I WAS DEAD. So if you could give me some ideas, that would be great, and I'm sorry I'm late with the update, its been a really rough week.
