Dahlia had just returned home from the grocery store and was headed towards the kitchen when she heard noises coming from her and Jordan's home gym.A faint smacking sound was repeated over and over until Dahlia reached the door and saw what was making the noise.
As she leaned against the doorway she saw Jordan jumping rope mid-workout. Next to him was Sunny, and as the nearly two-year-old held a child's jump rope in her hands, she jumped in place.
She wasn't actually jumping rope but it was the most adorable thing besides what she was wearing: a sleeveless hoodie with the hood on, just like her father next to her.
"Daddy! I jump!"
Dahlia took a step into the gym, and that's when the two finally saw her in the mirror.
"Good workout?"
"Mommy!"
Sunny dropped the jump rope and ran towards her mother, who quickly scooped her into her arms.
"Mommy, I help Daddy jump."
"You did? Helping him get ready for the playoffs?"
"Uh-huh. Daddy's weddy fo' pwayoffs!"
Sunny nodded, not knowing what her mother was talking about.
The playoffs were the following weekend, and if his team won, Jordan would be another step closer to his first Super Bowl. He had a wonderful rookie season but unfortunately fell to the Jets in the divisional championship game.
Jordan walked over to his wife and daughter, wrapping an arm around Dahlia as he gave her a kiss. After pulling away he looked down at Sunny, nodding his head in her direction.
"This one has been keeping me on my toes this whole workout. I should just fire Finn and make you my personal trainer, huh, Bunny?"
Dahlia smirked, watching as Jordan put his fists out. A moment later, Sunny bumper her tiny knuckles against her father's."
"You two are so cute."
Jordan looked at Dahlia as she scrunched her nose and felt his entire world shift with just a smile.
"But, Bunny, isn't Mommy the cutest?"
"Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm! Mmm-hmm!"
Sunny nodded in agreement with her father as they both began leaving a massive flurry of kisses all over Dahlia's face.
"Okay...okay! I get it, Mommy's cute!"
