"Come on, baby. Time to wake up."

"Mmm..." Yo snuggled deeper into the covers, going as far as to pull Pha's pillow over his head.

"Yo," Pha chuckled, removing the pillow and kissing Yo's cheek. "It's time to wake up. It's the day before New Year's."

Yo grumbled. His words made no sense since he was still half-asleep. He cracked one eye open. "Why."

Pha pecked his nose, breathing a small laugh when Yo wrinkled his nose. "We're going to buy some snacks and noisemakers for tonight. It's our first family New Year, remember?"

"It'll still be the New Year in a couple hours," Yo mumbled, turning back over on his side and closing his eyes.

Oh, how you tempt me, Pha thought to himself with a wicked smile. He knelt on the bed and leaned over Yo, making his tiny fiancé squirm from ticklish kisses up his neck. "Wake up, Yo."

"P'Pha," Yo whined softly, trying not to laugh. "Stoooooop..."

He didn't stop

He didn't stop. Yo had to laugh as Pha kept kissing his neck, fingers lightly stroking his belly. When Pha finally showed mercy and stopped, Yo flopped onto his back and gazed up at Pha, panting lightly.

"You are so evil sometimes."

Pha kissed his forehead this time. "Up and at 'em, baby. I'll take care of Love."

Yo groaned as he reluctantly got out of bed, stumbling to the bathroom for a quick shower. "I remember the days when you woke me up with more creative ways!"

Pha bit back a laugh. "This from the one who tried to deny me when our daughter was in the room at Beam's house!"

"That was different. Love has her own room here."

Pha just shook his head and went to get Love from her nursery. The little girl was already awake, grabbing her toes while staring up at the mobile. She shrieked and babbled when she saw her father lean over her, hands shooting up and fingers grasping, demanding to be picked up. For such a young baby, she was very intelligent.

"Hello, pumpkin," Pha murmured, lifting her up and blowing a raspberry on her tummy.

She gurgled and kicked her feet.

"Your grandma is going to take care of you while your mommy and I go out tonight. But for now," he carried his daughter and a change of her clothes with him back into the master bedroom, placing her on the mattress. "You're stuck with mommy and daddy. I hope that's okay with you."

"La," Love blew spit bubbles, her face scrunched up in a huge smile.

Pha chuckled and gently tickled her tummy. "Are you trying to talk already? Such a smart little girl you are."
