"Van, look!" Cheyenne squealed. "Van!"
Van looked up from his magazine, down at Cheyenne and Elizabeth playing on the floor. His daughter was standing on wobbly legs, grinning at him like she'd just won the Super Bowl.
"Hey, look at you!" Van praised, setting aside his magazine and falling to his knees in front of his chair. He held out his hands to Elizabeth, encouraging, "Come here, sweetie. Come see Daddy."
Elizabeth laughed, taking one, two steps towards her father.
"She's doing it!" Cheyenne shrieked.
And then Elizabeth wobbled back and forth one more time. Van quickly leaned forward and caught her right before she hit the floor.
"Aww!" He slammed his head back against the chair, groaning, "So close!" he looked at Elizabeth, who was still smiling up at him from his lap. "That's alright, sweetie, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. And then Daddy can teach you all about football! How about that?"
Elizabeth giggled at him and clapped.
"That's my girl!" Van said proudly.
Another idea that I've had hanging around for awhile. My first venture into the Reba category, so feedback would be great. Thanks, everybody! Each of these chapters is going to be inspired by a different part of the song, since you're actually not supposed to post song lyrics.:)
