Hey guys, so this is Felix telling Maria a bedtime story about her when she was a baby.
Don't forget to leave chapter suggestions!
Maria is 6 and a half
"Alright, hop in." Felix said, pointing at the bed. Maria climbed into the bed and covered herself up. Felix reached to the bookshelf. "Which book tonight?" Ever since Maria was a year old, Felix read her a story every night. Maria's favorite story was "The Tale of Desperoux," thought that book was quite long, and usually took a couple days to read.
"No," Maria said. Felix looked at her in confusion. "No books, tell me a story." Felix chuckled.
"What kind of story would you like to hear? A princess one?"
"No," She laughed. "A real one, daddy."
"What makes you think farytales aren't real?" Felix asked.
"Well, I mean a story from when I was little."
"You still are little," Felix laughed. "Because I can still tickle you." Felix said jokingly, tickling Maria.
"Haha, stop!" Maria giggled. "I mean a baby story." Maria said when Felix finally stopped tickling her.
"Ohhhh, a baby story." Felix thought for a moment. "Hmmm, well you cried like all the time. You had to be held twenty-four seven or else you would never stop crying…"
"No, not like that daddy." Maria laughed. "A story."
"Ok." Felix chucked. "One time, I was mowing the lawn- we had just moved to America, so you were about a year and a half old. Mommy was at the store getting food, and like I said, I was mowing the backyard,"
"I was in the house by myself?" Maria asked.
"You were in your crib taking a nap." Felix said.
"Oh, good." Maria sighed. "I was nervous."
"You were?" Felix chuckled
"Um-hm." Maria nodded.
"Well anyway, so I glanced at your window and I saw you looking out at me, but your crib wasn't even near the window."
"How did I get to the window?" She asked.
"That's what I was wondering, so I went inside and you weren't in your crib. That was weird because you had never climbed out of your crib before, so I put you back in your crib and I said. "Show me how you did that."
"Did I?"
"Yep, you threw one leg over the side, than the other, and you just hung there for a moment, and then you let go of the side and landed on the floor on your feet. And then you just looked at me with an evil little smile." Felix smiled and tickled Maria. She giggled.
"And then what?"
"Well, I called mommy and told her and she went out and got you a bed, and I put it together that night."
"The same bed I'm in now?"
"Yep."
Marzia stood in the doorway smiling. She was in her robe and her long hair was up in a towel, as she had just gotten out of the shower.
"Actually," Marzia piped in, "I put the bed together. You can't build anything."
"Your mom's right," Felix laughed. "Anyway, that's the story."
Maria smiled. She liked that story. Felix leaned over and kissed Maria on the forehead.
"I love you, Maria."
"I love you too daddy." Maria said. Felix smiled and walked over to the doorway, where Marzia was standing. Marzia blew Maria a kiss.
"I love you, baby." Marzia said. Maria blew her a kiss back.
"I love you mommy." Marzia smiled and shut her light off.
"Goodnight."
