Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I've written anything.. Things have been crazy busy for me but I finally found some time to sit down and write this for you all. It's not the best but I figured you all deserved something! Sorry it kind of ends abruptly, I was running out of time and had to find a place to stop it.
"Brynn, come on, if we don't leave now you're going to be late!" Jade called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Just a second mommy!" Brynn stared at herself in the mirror as she placed a white headband perfectly in her long, brown hair.
Jade could then hear the sound of Brynn's feet hitting the floor as she jumped off of the stool, the abnormally small girl still had to use a stool to be able to see herself in the bathroom mirror.
"And finally, princess Brynn has decided to grace us with her presence." Beck smiled as Brynn came skipping down the stairs, her yellow and white dress flying out wildly around her.
She giggled as she reached the bottom of the stairs, covering her mouth with her hand as she did so. This was a habit that she picked up just recently, a habit that melted her father's heart.
"Go grab your backpack, Sassy."
"But mommy, can't I just stay home today?" Brynn pleaded, her big blue-green eyes glimmering as she did so.
"And why should you get to stay home today?" Jade replied as she searched through her purse to find her keys.
"Because I want to cuddle with my daddy!"
Jade slowly looked up from her purse, looking straight at Beck who now had a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Don't you dare fall for that, Beck."
Beck threw his hands up in surrender, laughing slightly.
"It's only preschool, Jade. I think she can miss one day."
Jade looked from her husband, who couldn't seem to wipe that huge smile off of his face, to her daughter, who was staring back at her with big, pleading eyes.
"Fine! Fine. You can stay. But you better do more than just lie around and watch Disney movies all day."
"YES!" Both Brynn and Beck cried out at the same time.
He reached down and picked up his beautiful daughter, who was now displaying the same smile that he was.
"I'm serious, Beck."
"I know, I know. We love you, Jade."
"Mhm, mommy we love you lots!"
Jade smiled and placed a kiss on her daughter's cheek.
"Someone has to."
She then turned and walked towards the front door, pausing when she got there.
"I'll call you later. If you turn this house into a huge wreck while I'm gone, I will hang you by your toenails."
"Got it."
"Got it!" Brynn mimicked her father as she giggled.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Cinderelly, Cinderelly, night and day it's Cinderelly!" Brynn sang along with the mice on Cinderella.
"Hey Buggy, this is the third time we've watched Cinderella today.. Are you sure you aren't done yet?"
Brynn smiled and turned around in her father's arms, they were laying in a fort that they had thrown together immediately after Jade left.
"Never! Cinderelly is my favorite."
"Just last week, Rapunzel was your favorite."
"Time goes on, people change." Brynn said just as seriously as she could.
Beck chuckled; he had grown more and more used to his daughter's hilarious responses. He ruffled her hair as she turned back round so she could see the TV.
"Daddy, I want my blankie."
"Where did you leave it?"
"You used it to make the fort! See, it's right there!" Brynn said as she reached for the small, quilted blanket.
Brynn's "blankie" was Winnie the Pooh themed, displaying four squares with a different character in each one. Jade picked it out before Brynn was born, mainly because it was the only baby blanket that had a minimal amount of pink on it, but also because it followed Beck's "Disney only" theme that he had envisioned for his little girl.
"Wait, Brynn, don't pull it, the fort will-"
CRASH.
"..Fall down on us."
The fort, made entirely out of blankets and carefully placed pillows, and collapsed on the father-daughter duo. A small grunt could be heard from Brynn as she tried to push her way out of the blankets. Finally, Beck sat up and pulled blankets off until Brynn's head was poking out of the rubble. This sent the four year old into a fit of laughter; her loud giggles could be heard all throughout the house.
"What's so funny?" Beck asked, smiling at his girl.
"It fell!" She choked out between giggles.
XOXOXOXOXO
After the fort had been cleaned up, and the Cinderella reruns finally came to an end, the Oliver household was quieter than ever. Beck was working on his writing and Brynn was down for a nap, or at least she was supposed to be.
She wasn't one to nap very easily, and today she had decided that she wanted to skip it entirely. When she made her mind up on something like this, she wasn't going to let anyone stop her.
"Oh daddy!" Brynn called out.
Beck slowly got up from his chair, wondering why his little girl wasn't asleep. He made his way to the living room, where he expected the find Brynn laying on the couch, exactly like he'd left her. But instead, she was standing in the middle of the room, wearing her sparkly pink ballerina costume.
"Take a seat, sir!" Brynn said in her best "man" voice.
Beck smiled and did as told, seating himself on the couch. Brynn was always coming up with some kind of play or dance to show her parents, she was born to perform.
"Music please!" She shouted.
Beck knew not to move, Brynn's performances were always a one man show. Instead, he watched her run quickly from her spot in the middle of the room and over to the coffee table, where she opened her Disney princess jewelry box. She then returned to her original spot and put herself in her best ballerina pose.
She began to twirl clumsily around, a look of concentration displayed on her face. She tried as hard as she could to keep her arms straight, and not to fall over while twirling. She fumbled around like this for a minute before she finally did her final pose and smiled big for Beck.
"Bravo!" Beck clapped as Brynn did a series of bows and curtsies.
"Thank you, thank you! Ballerina Brynn will return next week, but now she is needed in Disneyland."
She then grabbed her music box and marched her way up stairs, not even bothering to say another word to her father.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Daddy, will you pass me the pink crayon?"
"Of course, Princess."
Brynn smiled at her dad's newest nickname for her. She had so many nicknames that it was hard to keep up, but she didn't mind.
She and Beck were lying on the floor, all kinds of coloring books open in front of them and crayons spread all across the floor.
"Thank ya dada." She replied, taking the crayon from his hand.
Brynn placed her head as close to the paper as possible, her wet hair dampening the page.
"There! I'm done." She beamed as she held up her Minnie Mouse drawing.
"It's beautiful, baby girl. Just like you."
Brynn's already big smile grew even bigger as she jumped up and ran into Beck's arms. She just loved her daddy, it was clear for anyone to see.
"When is mommy coming home? I want to show her my new pajamas." She looked down at the pajamas as she spoke.
Beck had taken Brynn shopping a few days ago and they had bought a pair of "I love mommy" pajamas that Jade had yet to see. Brynn had been excited to show her mommy for days, but she was good at keeping secrets.
"She should be here any minute now. Why don't we watch a movie until she gets here?"
"I get to pick the movie?"
"Yes, Brynn. You can pick the movie.. As long as it's not Cinderella."
"But daddy!" Brynn tested, displaying her best pouty face.
"We already watched it five times today. I think you can pick another movie."
"Fine." She huffed as she pushed her way out of Beck's arms.
She began stomping her way over to the movie shelf when she felt someone pull her back into their arms.
"Daddy, stop it! I'm gonna pick a movie!"
"Nope, not until you apologize for being so sassy."
Brynn sighed, rolling her eyes in signature Brynn (or Jade, as that's who she got it from) fashion.
"You call me Sassy for a reason, you know."
Beck smiled and kissed his daughter's forehead, she could be difficult sometimes but he loved her dearly.
"Who's sassy? Surely it's not my Brynn." A voice called from the entry hall.
"Mommy!" Brynn yelled, running full force into Jade's arms.
"Hi baby girl. Were you good for daddy today?"
"Mhm." Brynn nodded as Jade picked her up.
"Beck, what did I tell you about making a mess of the house?" Jade asked, eyeing down the coloring book mess.
"We just finished coloring babe, we'll clean it up. Don't worry."
"Mommy, mean daddy won't let me watch Cinderella!"
"And why is that, mean daddy?" Jade smirked.
She carried Brynn into the living room, offering a hand to help Beck up from his spot on the floor.
"Because," Beck replied as he took Jade's hand, "We've watched Cinderella five times today.. All in one sitting."
Jade laughed and looked to Brynn, who grinned sheepishly as she rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
"Is that true, Brynn?"
"Yes.. But mommy, it's my favorite.."
"But we already know how it ends. She marries the prince and all is well."
Brynn grinned mischievously at her father, a look that he was used to getting from Jade.
"Mommy, have you seen my new pajamas?"
"Oh don't you dare.." Beck said, catching on to what the girl was planning.
Jade placed Brynn back down on the floor, allowing her to show off her new pajamas. She pointed straight to her top, which said "I love Mommy" in letters that were different shades of pink and orange.
"Oh, I love you baby girl." Jade smiled as Brynn did a spin.
Brynn giggled reached up at Jade, indicating that she wanted to be picked up again.
"You realize what she's after here ri-"
"Mommy can we watch Cinderella, please?" Brynn smiled as Jade hoisted her up onto her hip.
Jade looked from Brynn and back to Beck, realizing what was going on. She smirked at Beck as he shook his head vigorously.
"How can I say no to a sweet baby girl wearing 'I love Mommy' pajamas?"
