Drabble #40: Roxy and Chris

Prompted by: Nutmeg (anon)

"Dad! Chris is taking my candy!" My six year old daughter, Roxy, shouts.

"Mummy said that I needed to share!" Chris, just turned nine, defended. I rolled my eyes, and then went into the living room. I see them fighting over a pile of M&M's. I scoop them up, and them put them in my mouth.

"DADDY!" They both shout.

"Edison! What did you do to them now?!" Patricia yells. I smirk.

"I ate their candy..." I mumble.

"Sometimes I swear I have three kids..." She mutters. She then picks up Roxy, and places her on her hip. I give her and Chris a look, and then they both smile, running to their rooms.

"Hey, did you forget something?" I ask her. She looks at me curiously.

"No... I don't think so?"

"Happy Mother's Day." I say, planting a kiss on her lips.

"Ewwww!" I hear Roxy squeal. She giggles afterward. "We have presents for you mommy!"

"You do?" Patricia asks, kneeling down. Chris hands her his present first. It's in a small blue gift bag. She smiles at him, taking a seat on the couch. At first, she opens a card.

"I made the card with purple paper because I know purple's your favwite color mummy." Chris says, while both Patricia and I smile.

"Let's see- Happy Mummy's Day Mummy. Love, Chris. Why thank you!" Patricia overjoys. "As for the present..." She gasps. "A certificate to the spa? You know me all to well."

"We figured you needed some relaxation time..." I explain.

"Can't argue with that..." She laughs.

"Oooh! My turn!" Squeals Roxy. She hands Patricia a present wrapped in never the less, purple wrapping paper.

"Roxanne! This is so nice!" It's a family portrait, framed, that we had got taken a few months back. Patricia obviously forgot about it.

"Now it's your turn daddy!" Roxy says in her adorable six year old voice.

"Oh no silly, I'm not daddy's mum." Patricia explains.

"That doesn't mean I can't get you anything." I smile. She looks at me curiously as I pull out a long box from behind my back.

"It's not a prank...is it?" She checks.

"Do you honestly think that I would prank you on your day?" I say, pretending to be hurt. She rolls her eyes, and then proceeds in opening her gift.

"Eddie! This is-wow!" She gasps, holding up the charm bracelet.

"Read the charms." I instruct.

"Let's see... Happy Mother's Day... I Love you... Mummy Yacker..." She laughs at the last one. I kiss her quickly. Chris laughs while Roxy covers her eyes. They come and sit in our laps, as I glance at my almost perfect family.

Okay! I hope that this makes up for yesterday's! Sorry, that was a bit...blah... But this was an old prompt and I thought that it fit today perfectly! Happy Mother's Day to all moms and mums:) I also forgot the question, so:

What are you doing for Mother's Day?

I'm going out to breakfast in like half an hour, and then going to my grandparents to eat lunch. We don't just celebrate Mother's Day with my mom, but also grandmas and gear grandmas:) Also! Check out Just Give Me A Reason, a new story I've uploaded. Then another new story, Reign, will be released on May 19th. (One week!) :3
