IT'S LATE.

Rose had dinner, and now I'm giving her a bath before bed. For once everything is going smoothly.

That's a bit suspicious.

I turn around to get a towel and that's when I knew I spoke too soon. The bathtub is empty and I can hear loud giggles coming from the hallway. I follow her footsteps all around our home, chasing after her. She didn't seem tired anymore. I thought the bath would make her sleepy but no. She decided not to go to bed, and it became everyone's problem. And by everyone I mean... obviously it's only mine.

"Come back here you little rascal!" I know she could hear me, she isn't far. Clearly she's determined to have her little fun, and runs through the kitchen to the living room. She runs, screaming and giggling like never before.

I try to corner her, but she's quick and small making it hard for me to catch her. Every time I thought I'd catch her, she'd crawl under the furniture like our dining table.

"Rosie, honey, where are you?" I play along, she's hiding under my bed. She's getting water everywhere but oh well.

"Hum I wonder where could my daughter be..." She takes a peak unknowingly I'm standing on the other side of the bed. I grab her ankles and drag her from under my bed before lifting her into my arms.

"There she is! You think you can hide and run away from me? I think someone deserves the tickle monster!" I tickle her and torture her until she can't take the tickles anymore.

Water is still dripping down from her blonde hair and onto the grown. I grab a towel, wrap it tightly around her, hoping it won't result in a cold. I quickly dress her into the pajamas and that's when I notice her drowsiness.

I lay down on her bed, Rose on top of me. She's laying on my chest, her body on top of mine, her head hidden in the crook of my neck and her arms around my neck. I snake one arm around her waist and the other one around her bottom so she doesn't fall. I rub her back, hoping it'll help her fall asleep. It doesn't work. She lifts her head and look around but I push it back down. She holds onto my arm to stop me, but bedtime is bedtime.

"It's bedtime Rosie." She huffs but lays back down. She entertains herself by playing with the bracelets around my wrist.

"Sing mama."

"What do you want me to sing?"

"Little star." She mumbles sleepily.

As I sing, my phone vibrates. Thank God Rose doesn't hear it or that would've been a nightmare to handle. She's dead asleep by the end of the song and now I have to get her off of me.

Why didn't I think about this before?!

I literally use all of my Black Widow skill to slip away and it works. I turn on her nightlight and close the door gently.

I need to finish packing, we leave for LA in a couple of days for filming and I haven't started yet. Tomorrow is gonna be impossible with Rose running around. I decided to take Rose with me this time. I don't want to leave her again, I missed her too much.

I quickly do my night routine, washing my face off and getting into comfortable clothes. I get started on our stuff, we won't be in LA for long but with a three-year-old you need stuff just in case like toys, clothes and all that jazz. But that can wait tomorrow, let's just get started on what I'm taking with me for tonight. Looking through my closet, I pick out everything I might want to wear, then skincare products and makeup. We cannot forget about some books, my computer, and everything that goes with it. Shoes! I almost forgot about the shoes.
