"Atty!"
Atlas felt the taps of chubby little fingers on his forehead.
"Atty, hey you gotta wake up." Charlie whispered, placing herself at the top of his bed. Each of her chubby legs sat on either side of Atlas's head allowing her to look down straight over his face.
"S'your birthday atty!" Charlie went to extreme measures, holding open her big brothers eye lid making him groan.
"Excuse me Mr Atlas DeLuca, this is your sister Charlie it's uppy time." Charlie spoke loudly looking down into his one forced open eyeball giggling as he proceeded to roll it.
Letting out a little grumble Atlas playfully grabbed his baby monkey pulling her down, so she was stuck cuddled in his arms.
"You are so rude! D'you know that? So rude to be waking me up on my birthday!" Atlas scolded though his eyes held complete mischief as he peppered her little face with kisses, pretending to bite her rosy cheeks.
"So," Atlas placed one last kiss on the tip of her nose "what do you say to me little monkey?"
"Happy birthday!" Charlie shouted almost deafeningly into Atlas ear jumping onto Atlas with no care in the world.
"Thank you." Atlas grunted recovering from the little ball of fluff sitting on his chest.
"You big strong girl I can feel all the cookies you had yesterday" atlas pretended to groan and he lifted her up above his head shaking her in the air getting as many giggles out his girl as possible.
"I tryna eat as many as possible so when people are rude to me, I can jump on them, and they will go splat." Charlie spoke evil placing her hands together like some kind of super villain.
"That's my girl." Atlas nodded running his hands down her curly locks gently making sure not to catch a knot or cause irritation.
Charlie loved having her brothers' hands ran through her hair, it was the ultimate comfort for the little girl. She could be put to sleep in seconds if done right and her brothers knew this very well.
"Hey C'mere." Atlas opened the duvet for her so she could climb under and the lifted it above their heads making a makeshift den.
"This way no one can bother us." Atlas must of jinxed himself as he heard voices rattling at his door .
"Hey man I know it's your birthday and early and all but is Charlie in here? she wasn't in her room and I'm worried she's taken Paul out for a walk again."
