His Mafia Princess - J.H

Bonus Chapter 5

Jaden pov

"Mommy. Mommy. Mommy." She squirmed her way out of my arms and ran into the kitchen. Shit.

"Wait no. Ellie, come back now." I called as I ran after her, but it was too late. She had already ran to Mirri.

"Hi bab- oh why are you covered in mud?" She asked as Ellie ran and hugged her legs. "Boys. Don't even think about trying to sneak upstairs. Get in here now." She called out as she looked me dead in the eye with an unamused look.

They all trailed in, dragging their feet across the floor, which is only going to piss her off more because of the mud. Her eyes widened as they were all equally covered in the same amount of mud as Ellie. Actually, that's a lie, Ellie is the most covered.

"Jesus Christ. Okay, you four, go and shower. Jaden, don't even think about going anywhere. Go now boys." She's not happy.

She watched as all the boys walk out of the kitchen and disappear off into their respected rooms. She picked Ellie up to stop her from touching anything and held her out at an arms length to prevent any mud from getting on her clothes. Ellie being the child that she is thought it was a game and pretended to run on the spot giggling.

"Look princess I kno-"

"Care to explain why my daughter looks like you drowned her in mud and my sons look like they got caught in a mudslide meanwhile their father looks pretty much mud free. Except for the huge child shaped patch on your side?" She cut me off, turning Ellie around to face me.

"Well, you see. It's a funny story. So Ellie and Alfie decided they were gonna play in the wet mud. Axel fell in, and then Louie and Callum just decided to join them. I swear we were only going to ride the quad bikes but then our children had different ideas." I defended.

"How long did you let them play in the mud?" She asked.

"That's not-"

"Jaden fucking Hossler. Don't you dare lie to me." Fuck.

"About an hour and a half." I mumbled.

"And why would you take your three year old daughter to ride quad bikes?" She asked as Ellie started squirming in her hands a lot more.

"She wanted to play with the boys and we were gonna go quad biking this weekend so I took her with us. Mirri, you need to put her down. You're gonna hurt her arms." I answered.

"Take your daughter and go and give her a bath. I don't want to see a spec of dirt on her when she's done. And you better fucking scrub that tub afterwards." She instructed as she placed Ellie down on the ground.

"Okay princess. Come on chicken. Let's go." She ran over to me and grabbed my hand as we walked out of the kitchen and up to her room. "No no baby. You're not getting on the bed yet. Mommy will kill me for real this time." I laughed as I grabbed her and carried her into the bathroom.

I stood her up on the counter so I could take her shirt off. The amount of dried mud that fell to the ground and all over the counter looked as if we just brought the tracks home with us.

"Look at you baby. I don't even recognise you under all this mud." She giggled as she wrapped her arms around my neck so I could pick her up.

"No daddy. It's too hot." She whined as her feet touched the water.

"I'm sorry baby. I'll put more cold water in it." I put her down on the floor as I added in more cold water and mixed it with my hand. "Is that better chicken?" She stood up and put her hand in the water.

After she nodded I picked her up and sat her down in the water. Before I added in any bubbles I ran water through her hair to try and get some of the mud out.

"Look, the water is all brown daddy." She laughed as she splashed about in the water.

"I know bub, that's all from your hair."

Once I had got the majority of the mud out of her hair, I added some bubbles into the water and let her play for a little bit. She played with the bubbles and made loads of little shapes for a bit while I got out her pyjamas and laid them on the bed.

"Alright chicken, it's time to wash your hair." She squealed and reached over to grab her shampoo.

I ran the bubbles through her hair and quickly rinsing them out. I stood her up and washed the rest of the mud off her body before pulling the plug and lifting her out of the tub. It was only then that I realised I didn't grab a towel.

"Right, you stay here. I just need to go and grab a towel for you. Do not move from the mat. Your feet are wet and you will slip on the floor, so for the love of god stay still. Okay?" I asked as she nodded.

I stood up and walked over to her closet to grab out a towel. As I turned back I heard a small thud coming from the bathroom. I'm convinced this child has listening problems. I walked back in the bathroom to see her sat on the floor with a stunned look on her face. Once she got over the initial shock is when the tears started to fall.

"Daddy." She cried as she stood up and walked over to me.

"Alright baby. You're okay. Come on, let's go get you dressed." She held my neck and dug her head into my chest after I wrapped the towel around her and picked her up.

"Chicken, go with Louie and he'll do you a hot chocolate. I need to go and talk to mommy okay?" I asked as I placed on the floor and kissed her head.

"Mhm." She took Louie's hand and they made their way downstairs.

"Hi princess." She was laying on her stomach on the bed and typing away on her phone, so she didn't see me walk in.

"Shower now. Then we can talk, because there is no way in fuck you are coming anywhere near me with that dirt on you." She pointed to the bathroom door.

"That's fair enough."

I walked into the bathroom and quickly stripped off my clothes. I didn't want to take too long because I genuinely couldn't tell if she was mad or not. I quickly washed my hair and body before stepping out again. I was going to open the bathroom door and walk out but stopped when I heard voices.

"Your hair is getting really long baby."

"I know mommy. We had a lot of fun today." It amazes me how she can turn any conversation she ever has.

"I could tell. What else did you do today? Other than drown yourself in mud and get it all over my floors." She laughed.

"Daddy showed me how to drive the bikey thingies. He wouldn't let me do one by myself and I had to always go on with him. It was scary at first because they were very loud but then it got more fun. And I didn't even hurt myself at all." She giggled.

"Well, as long as you had fun." I decided that now would be a great time to come out because she didn't sound mad.

"Mommy?" Ellie was cuddled up on lap with her head resting on her chest as Mirri ran her fingers through her, still wet, hair.

"Yes baby?"

"Can you braid my hair?" She asked as she picked her head and looked up at Mirri. By this point I had already put on a pair of sweatpants.

"Mommy's not very good a braids baby. But daddy is excellent at doing braids." Her head shot up as she looked over at me.

"Daddy, can you braid my hair? Please, please, pretty please?" She asked as she pouted at me.

"Come here then chicken." She crawled over and sat between my legs as I started to braid her hair.
