"Mommy! Mommy!" Bella yells while jumping on the bed.
Bella's now three, but is turning four tomorrow.
It's January at the moment. It's cold, but comforting.
"Mommy!" She yells again.
"I hear you", I mumble.
She lies on my back and taps the back of my head. "Momma", she says.
"Yes?"
"I'm hungry", she whines.
"Okay, go tell your dad", I say.
She quickly gets off the bed and runs out of my bedroom.
Ethan's POV
I hear footsteps coming down the stairs, obviously Bella. She stepped down the stairs good, but they were slow because of how small she is.
"Daddy!" I hear her run to the kitchen. I quickly hide in the corner.
When she walks in the doorway, she looks around. I jump out and scare her.
"Ah!" Her high pitched voice echoes throughout the house.
I laugh as she stands frozen. She begins crying and covers her eyes.
"Oh, honey, honey, no, I'm sorry", I pick her up and she straddled her legs around the side of me.
I hold her on my hip and comfort her. "Shh", I say and give her a kiss on the forehead.
"Don't cry, I'm here", I whisper.
I swipe away the tears on her cheeks with my thumb.
"Want some breakfast?"
Her lips quiver, but I tickle her so she stops crying.
She giggles and suddenly she's not crying anymore.
"Yes? Breakfast?"
"Yes", she nods.
"What should we have?"
She shrugs and rests her head on my shoulder. "How about ice cream?"
She smiles and nods. I tickle her stomach, "nah, you're gonna have your yogurt". She cringes.
"But as for me, I'm gonna have eggs", I say.
She sighs and plays with my fingers. She plays with my wedding ring and pulls it off.
"Hey, hey, hey. Don't play with that", I take it from her and put it back on.
"That ring's important. It has a special meaning", I say.
"What is it?" She asks.
"It means your mom and I are married. It means we will love each other and always care for each other."
She smiles and rests her head back on my shoulder.
Anna walks into the kitchen and gives me a bitch face. "What?" I ask.
"What did you do this time?"
"I jumped out and scared her", I sigh.
