Brendon:
I woke up at a pretty decent time. Today I had something planned for Clover and Joanne. Joanne deserved a day out and what better way to have a day out than to have one with Clover. A 'mommy-daughter day', if you will. Clover was wide awake in her room playing with her toys when I opened the door. I shut the door behind me, "good morning, beautiful!"

"Daddy!" Clover shouted a bit and ran over to me.

I bent down and she threw her arms around me with a stuffed animal clenched in her hand. I pulled away and put my finger on my lips, "shh. We have to be quiet, squirt. You and I have a surprise for mommy."

Clover put her hands over her mouth and scrunched up. I nodded my head and smiled softly at her, "come on, let's pick an outfit for you to wear."

I got up and she guided my over to her dresser and opened the drawers. I looked through the outfits and furrowed my eyebrows, "it's probably chilly outside. Gotta bundle you up."

"Can I still wear a dress, daddy?" Clover asked and looked up at me, batting her eyelashes.

I couldn't resist. She looked so adorable. I smiled softly and opened the top drawer, where all her dresser were stored, "of course," I began and bent down a bit, "hop up."

Clover wrapped her arms around my neck and jumped up onto me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I rummaged through the dresses, until she picked a dark green dress that was sort of corduroy. Clover pointed at it and I smiled softly and took it out. I set her down and closed the drawer, then opened her long sleeves drawer and pulled out a brown turtle neck, "go pick out your shoes."

Clover ran to her closet and opened the door. I picked the clothes up and turned back to open her pants drawer and grabbed black leggings. Clover set brown boots down and I handed her clothes, "do you need help changing?"

"No thank you, daddy."

I nodded my head, "meet me in the bathroom then so we can do your hair, okay? But, be very quiet so we don't wake mommy."

She nodded her head and I walked to the door, opened it and shut it. I walked back to my room, opening the door quietly and shutting it quietly. I was basically tip-toeing in the room, walking over to the drawer and grabbing a black t-shirt and of course, black skinny jeans. I walked into our bathroom, shutting the door quietly and changing quickly. I looked into the mirror, fluffing my hair up and then walking out. I stopped in my tracks as Joanne turned in her sleep. I shut my eyes and inched a bit closer. I walked by the bed and quickly lunged for the door and opened it quietly and shut it for the last time.

I walked down hallway a bit and turned to the left to the bathroom. I flicked the light on and Clover came running in. I picked her up and grunted a bit. I sat her down in the counter and began pulling her hair back, "alright, what hairstyle do you want, baby girl?"

Clover looked at herself in the mirror, tilting her head and pondering, "can you braid my hair like mommy?"

I smiled softly and stroked the back of her hair with my hand. I grabbed the small brush and began brushing through her hair. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, opening it and pulling up music, "what do you wanna listen to?"

"I don't know, daddy."

I glanced up at her, "I know what you want to listen to."

I put on Suit and Tie by Justin Timberlake. I turned my phone off, set it down and stepped back from Clover, putting my head down and putting the microphone up to my lips. I looked up in the mirror, looking at her and I pointed, "I...cant wait to get you on the floor good lookin." I sang softly to her.
