He feels a sharp jab on his eye but ignores it.
"Daddy." She says quietly. "Daddy?"
He can hear the sounds of Lizzie and Dembe working in the kitchen together.
Another sharp poke meets his left eye.
"Daddy!" She says loudly. "I know you're faking!"
He stays dead still.
Her curly brown hair brushes his nose as she leans her small face closer to his own.
"You're faking!"
"Yes!"
She cries as he suddenly grabs her against his chest and begins tickling her senseless.
"No daddy! No!" She giggles and helplessly kicks her tiny legs in the air. "Mommy say's you need to wake up! You're not allowed to be lazy today!"
He chuckles at his little girls words and buzzes her forehead with a kiss. "Hello, Rosy!" He says as he swings his legs out of bed and stand up with her in his arms. "Good morning, good morning!"
