Epov. Just a silly little chapter.

Shh, don't let daddy hear. I'm gonna sneak up on him and surprise him. Hehe, this will be so fun! Look, you can see him working at his desk, we've got to get around him without him hearing or seeing us. Good thing I'm so small and quiet. Well, Miss Stanley says I'm quiet, Daddy says I sound like an elephant wearing tap shoes on a tin roof. Daddy is silly. Elephants don't wear tap shoes.

Oh, duck! He's getting up. Here, let's hide behind the clock till the cost is clear. What's he doing? Looks like he's headed to the den. That's where my piano is. I love the piano, I play real well too. At least that's what Esme and daddy says. I haven't played for anyone else. Stage fright, I think. Daddy really like to listen to me play, even when I don't sound that good. He get's this goofy grin on his face and tells me he's proud of me. That's good I guess.

Oh, careful! He almost saw you. Come on, let's go hide in office. Hmm, should we go under the desk? No, he might kick me by accident. Bella did that once, though something tells me it wasn't much of an accident. She giggled when she apologized. Um, we could hide…hmm…Oh! Behind the arm chair. Why is it called an arm chair? It isn't made of arms? Well, come on. Careful not to bump daddy's desk, you might knock one of the pictures off. See that one, that's me when I was little. I know I'm so small. Daddy says he was that small once, I told him he shouldn't lie like that, it's not nice.

Ugh, this chair smells funny, it must be really old, like daddy. Come on, let's get back more so he doesn't see us. Ok, that's good. Move your foot please. Thanks. Here he comes. Shh. Ready? On the count of three, one, two, three. "BOO!"

"Ahh! Edward?"

"I'm not Edward, I'm a monster!"

"A monster? Oh, no what will I do?" Hurry, he's running for the living room. "Please terrible monster, don't catch me." Hehe, we really scared him. "Sorry daddy, but the boogieman always catches his prey."

"Boogieman? Well, I know the one weakness of the boogieman."

"What?"

"The… TICKLE MONSTER!" Oh, no! Run, runaway before he catches… "Gotcha!"

"Hehe, no daddy! Sto haha stop it! Hehe. P-ple hehe please!"

"Not until you say I'm the best daddy in the world."

"Never!" I don't mean it. Its just how we, heheh, play. Daddy stop tickling! I'm trying to talk! "Say it!"

"No!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep!"

"Ok then." Whoa! "Daddy, put me down! I'm not a sack of potatoes!" And your shoulder is digging into my tummy. "Really? You look like a sack of potatoes to me."

"Do not! Ahh, daddy! No tickles, hehe!" Daddy is crazy sometimes. "You know what will make me stop. Say it." He flops me down on his huge bed. "Best daddy!"

"What was that? I can't hear between all the giggles." I throw my arms around his neck. "Best best, very best daddy in the whole wide world." He smiles, like he always does when he's super happy. "I love you little mister."

"I love you too big mister." He kissed my nose and rolled over so I lay on top of his tummy. "Did I scare you daddy? Did I sneak up on ya real good?"

"Oh yes, you got me good little one. it's a good thing I'm the tickle monster or I would be done for."

"Don't worry daddy, if any real monsters came, I'd protect you." He smiled, but had kind of a sad look in his eyes. "Thanks buddy." He held me close and I put my head on his chest. No thumping, just like always. Maybe that's why daddy gets so sad.
