100 word challenge: #4- Pretty
I glanced at my blond haired husband, and I sighed. Yes, this was definitely the life I wanted. I quickly pulled myself up out of my usual sleeping position. Time to get ready for work. Great.
I stumbled over a couple of toys scattered on the floor in the hall and made it to the bathroom. First things first- go to the bathroom.
Once I was finished I trudged over to the sink and splashed my face with water. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I could hear three peaceful, harmonizing snores coming from three different rooms. At least I wasn't the only one anymore. I glanced down on the counter and saw my tooth paste, and my tooth brush…with a note wrapped around it. I grinned to myself, knowing what was most likely in it.
I plopped down on the bathtub rim and opened the letter.
Dear Daphne,
I know you're probably reading this when I'm asleep, so since I can't say it to you, here it is: Just because it's been 7 years, doesn't mean I don't find you any less pretty then the first time I saw you. I love you, and I hope you know that.
Love,
Me.
A goofy grin took over my features as I searched a drawer for a pen. I flipped the page over and started to write on it:
Dear Musterdseed,
I'm probably going to be gone when you read this, so since I can't say it to you, here it is: Just because it's been 7 ¼ years (yes, I've been counting!), doesn't mean I don't find you any less pretty than the first time I saw you, either. I love you more! And I hope you know that.
Love,
Me.
I wrapped the note around my husband's toothbrush and walked out of the bathroom and back into my room.
~30 min. later~
I ran around the house as fast I could- I was late…SO late. I heard a noise upstairs as I ran through the kitchen, signaling my hubby's awakening. I smiled thinking of my note. I snatched an apple from the fruit bowl, and was on my way to the front door when I heard the flush of a toilet. He'd probably be looking at my note right now. I hung back at the door, waiting to hear his reaction. Then I heard a voice that didn't belong to my husband.
"Daddy! Daddy wake up! Guess what? Mommy thinks you're pretty!" I smiled as I jogged out the front door. Leave it to my daughter to break it to him.
A.N.:
This is probably one of my favorites. But sadly, it isn't legit. In the ninth book epilogue Daphne states that she likes Pinocchio. Which is terrible. Well, I don't really know if it is, but all those great Dapherseed fan-fics have gone to waste. We'll probably do a mix of both throughout this challenge.
Thank you: (for reviewing) SweetShireen, Curlscat, SarcasticFreaks, The Queen of Sneaks, and Guest (anon.)
You have no idea how happy reviews make us :) Especially when it's really late at night.
