The One That Got Away

Chapter 26

Harry POV

"I help daddy, I help!"

"I don't know bud, you're too young"

"Daddy, I big boy! Now tree!" he groans, holding up three fingers as I chuckled, shaking my head purposely since I love seeing him go all feisty mode.

"Okay, you can help"

"BIG BOY!"

I slowly walk to the drawer, talking out an extra apron and closing the drawer before walking over to the excited toddler.

"Head in, bud" I told him, as he pops his head into the apron, I wrap it it around his body before tying the back and seeing its length was below his feet.

"Uh oh, your feet are gone Haz!" I gasped playfully, Harley looking down as he gasps, kicking out his legs to see if they were still there or not. He quickly pulls up the apron as it reveals his small feet.

"No gone, feet here"

"My mistake, now lets you up here"

"Up daddy, up!"

I slowly lean down, using all my strength as I pick Harley up from the ground, placing him over the counter with his squeals of excitement by seeing the baking ingredients in front of him.

"Now Haz, we'll be baking a cake"

"Daddy, birfday?"

"No it's not my birthday, but this will be our dessert so lets go over the supplies" I said, reaching over for the big bowl as I bring it towards the both of us.

"This is the bowl"

"Bull? No have horns, daddy" he places his little hands on his hip, furrowing an eyebrow at me.

"No, bowl. We have the cake mixture and everything it already. You've been around mommy for too long, huh?"

"Yeah, sassy"

"Yeah, mommy is sassy" I chuckled, picking up an egg before turning back to him, holding it up for Harley to see.

"Now, you see this egg?"

"Egg?"

"Yeah, you have to crack its shell open for the egg could go in. Watch Daddy"

As he watches, I slowly tap the egg against the bowl as it slightly cracks, opening its shell before the egg goes in the bowl, over the cake mixture.

I smirked, picking up another egg as I, once again, hold up towards Harley.

"Now, you think you got this?"

"I got it, daddy" he takes the egg, scouting closer to the bowl before doing exactly what I did, cracking the egg open and into the bowl.

"EGG!" he shrieks proudly, clutching his hands as I chuckled and nodded.

"Not bad, now we could put the other ingredients inside"

"I got it! I got!"

After putting in the other ingredients, I pick up the whisk, waving it into Harley's face as it were a wand, making whooshing noises as he giggles at my antics.

"This is your whisk, it helps mix all the ingredients together which then turns into cake batter. It will be smooth and thick"

Harley looks around the whisk, sucking on his bottom lip as he furrow his eyebrow once more.

"What's wrong, bud?"

"I see no green nose, no broom or hat"

I chuckled, holding in my laughter by just thinking what kind of imagination my three year old has.
