Ok so here is the new oneshot as requested to me by Southern Gurl.
Plz enjoy :)
"A Birthday Surprise Gone Wrong."
Nabu and his six year old daughter, Sasha, had been waiting all day for this moment.
"Guys, I'm going out!" Layla told them as she came down the stairs of their house.
"Ok!" Sasha and Nabu said, in unison.
They were sitting at the kitchen table, playing cards, just like any other day, even though it wasn't.
Layla then reached the front door; she had her hand on the doorknob and was just about to turn it and walk out, when she stopped.
"Is there anything you would like to say to me before I leave?" she questioned.
"Bye!" the father and daughter said, at the same time, not even looking up from their card game.
Layla sighed and went out.
As soon as she was gone, Sasha and Nabu giggled to themselves.
"Daddy, I can't believe it worked!" Sasha smiled.
"Yep, the plan worked!" Nabu acknowledged, returning the smile.
"So, are we gonna bake the cookies for Mommy now?"
"Yep!"
Today was Layla's birthday.
Nabu had wanted to buy a little cake and have a small in- home celebration.
But Sasha, who loved to cook, insisted that she bake some cookies for her mother, saying that:
"It'll save us some money, Daddy!"
She was just so cute, Nabu couldn't say no.
So the plan the two had agreed to was this:
The whole day they would act like they had forgotten Layla's birthday, and then later in the day when she would leave for her daily hangouts with the other Winx girls ,they would bake cookies for her so that when she came back, she would realize that they didn't actually didn't forget her birthday.
"Ok so what do we need first, baby?" Nabu queried.
Knowing that all that Sasha read was cooking books, Nabu knew that she had remembered the recipe by heart.
"A lot of things," Sasha said.
"Like?"
"I'll get it!" Sasha ran toward the cabinet where all the food was kept.
Nabu smiled as he watch Sasha get all the ingredients.
"She's gonna be the next 'Food Network' star, I swear," he thought to himself, grinning.
Sasha looked a lot like Nabu.
She had light brown skin, dark green eyes, and long light brown hair that reached all the way down to her hips.
It took Sasha a few minutes, but she had finally placed all the ingredients on the table.
"My, that's a lot of stuff," Nabu mentioned.
"Yeah it is, Daddy," Sasha replied.
"Ok, so from this moment on, you're the boss and I'm the assistant. Just tell me what to do," Nabu said.
"Never thought I would be saying that," he thought.
"Well, first we have to preheat the oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. And while the oven heats we need to grease the cookie sheets with parchment paper," Sasha told him.
There was pride in her voice, since she was now "the boss".
"Ok, let's get it on it!" Nabu said.
"Daddy, I'll set the oven, you grease the cookie sheet."
After washing his hands, Nabu went and got the cookie sheet, while Sasha went and set the oven.
A few minutes later…
They had poured the weird looking glob of all the ingredients mixed together into the cookie sheets, and had placed it in the oven.
"What now, boss?" Nabu inquired.
"We just have to wait like fifteen to seventeen minutes," Sasha said.
"Cool, that wasn't so hard!"
Sasha nodded.
"I have to go potty, can you set it for me, Daddy?" she asked.
"Yes, baby."
"Thanks."
Sasha then ran toward the bathroom.
Nabu then looked at the oven.
He had never been able to get the buttons on it, manly cause they all looked similar and that when he and Layla bought the house, the labels were faded.
Layla had tried painting over the faded labels on the buttons but it had just made it worse.
"Um, which button was the minute button again?" Nabu thought "Was it the one on the far right? No, Sasha had pushed that button to preheat the oven. Um…."
He then squinted and tried to read Layla's writings over the buttons.
"I think it's this one," he thought.
Nabu pushed the button.
What he got was two zeros in front of a blinking colon.
"Oh good, I pushed the right button," he mumbled.
He then pushed the button all the way until it showed this:
15:00
Nabu then pushed the "enter" button, the only button on the oven whose label was not faded.
The timer then displayed this:
14:59
It then started counting down.
"Good," Nabu gave a smile of satisfaction.
Sasha then came out and ran toward him.
"Did you set it?" she asked her father.
"Yep," Nabu nodded.
"Yay!"
Nabu then picked Sasha up.
"U wanna watch some T.V.?" he asked.
Sasha nodded.
Nabu then went, laid down on the couch, placed Sasha on top of him and turned on the T.V.
An hour later….
Sasha and Nabu had fallen asleep watching T.V.
Sasha was woken up by the smell of smoke.
She got up and screamed.
"DADDY!" she shook Nabu frantically.
"Whatttttttttttttt?" Nabu groaned.
"THE KITCHEN'S ON FIRE!"
Nabu instantly jumped up, knocking Sasha to the ground.
"OMG!" he shouted.
Nabu grabbed the fire extinguisher, and used it to put out the fire.
By the time he was done, half the kitchen was burned up.
Nabu just stood there for a few minutes, holding the fire extinguisher, and breathing heavily.
He then heard his daughter crying; he put the fire extinguisher down and ran to her.
"Shhh, shhhh, it's ok. I didn't mean to drop you! I'm really sorry!" Nabu said as he picked Sasha up.
Sasha continued crying.
He then heard the front door opening.
"WHY DO I SMELL SMOKE?" Layla hollered as she dashed in.
She ran into the kitchen and stopped.
Her eyes darted back and forth to two places and two places only: the area where the oven was and toward Nabu and Sasha.
"My kitchen!" Layla cried "What happened to my kitchen?"
"I-I can explain," Nabu stammered.
"Then why don't you?"
A few minutes later…
Nabu had explained to Layla everything that had happened.
His and Sasha's plan, how they put the cookies in the oven, went to watch T.V. and fell asleep, and how they woke up to the smell of smoke, and found the kitchen on fire.
"So you guys didn't forget about my birthday?" Layla asked.
"Why do you think we were trying to make you cookies? Just for our own enjoyment?" Nabu said.
Sasha giggled.
Layla couldn't help but giggle as well.
"You said that the cookies were supposed to bake for fourteen minutes, right?" she then wondered.
Sasha nodded
"Did you set the timer?" Layla asked her.
"Daddy did."
Layla then looked at Nabu.
"That really explains a lot," she chuckled.
"Hey!" Nabu laughed as he elbowed her.
Layla smiled.
"Ok, come over here," she said.
She then led him over to the oven, or rather what was left of it.
"What button did you push?" Layla inquired.
Nabu pointed toward it.
"No wonder, the kitchen caught on fire! You pushed the 'hours' button!" Layla cried.
"Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!"
They all laughed.
"But seriously, you're going to clean all this up," Layla said as she handed him a broom.
"I'll help you Daddy!" Sasha said, as she grabbed a tiny broom and a dust pan.
"Sweetie, you don't need to help him," Layla said.
"But it's my fault that I didn't check that he pushed the right button, so I'm responsible too!"
Layla sighed.
"Guess I'll join in too," she said.
They then started to clean up the kitchen, and as they did, Nabu reminded himself how thankful he was to have both Layla and Sasha in his life.
THE END!
