Falling For Freddie (Freddie Mercury or Queen Fanfic)

"Dada..." Elle called out from her high chair. "Ba-na-naaaa!" Her body turned to the side, with her small chubby index finger pointing to the fruit bowl on the kitchen counter.

Freddie flashed a toothy smile, he stood up from his seat and walked up to the kitchen counter. He plucked one banana and held it high, "Who wants to eat bananaaaa?"

"Me!!!" Elle shrieked excitedly, raising her right arm up. Freddie laughed at her daughter.

            "Ta-daaa!" Freddie unveiled the banana in front of Elle. She began to clap giddily. He slowly peeled the banana dramatically, full of showmanship, making unnecessary sound effects.

She had to sarcastically cough out loud, stopped next to Elle and plant a kiss on her lips that were full of bananas, and later a quick peck on Freddie's lips.

Freddie paused from his giggles and glanced to his beau, "Good morning darling, did you sleep well?"

"I slept fantastically well," she said, which was partly true in between Elle waking her up crying for milk. The sous chef, Odette, came in later and placed Alice's plate of breakfast in front of her. Poking on her grapefruit she started, "Though I have been having this recurring dream lately.
