"Dad! Pa! Up Up!" Charlie felt small hands tug at his shirt. He opened one sleepy eye and grinned. He may not see well, but he could recognize that smile anywhere.
"Okay, okay. I'm up." He sat up and picked up his glasses off his nightstand. He heard Mariana groan when Juanaflippa shook him. Charlie got out of bed and picked Juanaflippa off Mariana. "Come on. Let's make breakfast." He said as he settled his daughter into his arms. "Pancakes?" He looked down at the little girl in his arms. "Sure." He shrugged, earning a gaint smile from her.
He placed down on one of the stools in the kitchen. "Can we add blueberries?" She asked. Charlie looked in the fridge. No blueberries. "How about we go get berries later?" Juanaflippa pouted, "Okay." Charlie smiled and began making breakfast. A few moments later, Mariana came into the kitchen. He ruffled Juanaflippa's hair. "Buenas días." He greeted, his morning voice deep. Charlie ignored the way it made him feel. Instead, he placed a plate with homemade pancakes in front of Juanaflippa. "Eat up. Then get ready for school, okay?" Juanaflippa nodded, already shoveling pancake into her small mouth.
Charlie went back to thei-, no, his room. He made the bed and changed. As he looked in the closet, he noticed most of Mariana's things were still semi packed. "Tonight," he told himself, "tonights the night."
"Charlie?" He glanced up, not realizing that he had zoned out. Mariana stood by the door, half leaning on it. "Yeah?" He responded.
"Uh, I take Juanaflippa to school. That okay?"
"Oh, uh, sure." He nodded. He glanced back down on the shirt he had been holding. He heard Mariana tap the doorframe and leave. Charlie sighed to himself. He finished changing in time to wave goodbye to Juanaflippa and Mariana.
He started his daily routine. He tidied up the bedroom. He tidied up Juanaflippa's bedroom, smiling to himself as he put away family drawings. He sweeped the living room, kitchen, and then began working on the garden Juanaflippa had started a few months ago.
After an hour or so, he cleaned himself up and started preparing lunch. He checked the time, 10:50. Great, he still had plenty of time before he had to pick up Juanaflippa from school. Now, what to do in that time?
