"noooooo!" I cried "I don't want daddy to go to work, you promised you'd play tea party today" I whined tugging in my father's jacket
"I'm sorry little dove I have to get down to work" he smiles fixing my bows when another worker man came up and spoke to him about something I didn't hear what "you do? Ohh perfect," he says to the man before turning back to me "now little dove, I have to get to work I'll be back at sundown, and in the meantime you can play with my friends son" he explained
"Who?" I ask
"Uhh Arthur? Where's your dam kid at!" He yells
"He's here" the man from before answers a little across the way and my father took me over even if I hid behind him "aww such a pretty little thing" the man smiled to me "whitey for god sake come out and say hello"
"No" a little voice answered behind him I giggled a little poking my head around my father's legs to see a little boy he looked the same age as me if alot talked hiding behind this man's legs he peaked his brown eyes out but saw me looking and disappeared behind this man in a little flash of dirty blonde hair it made me giggle so much sneaking out from behind my father around his man's legs but that whitey boy was clever he kept sneaking away from me the two of us almost playing hide and seek with each other using our fathers legs as hidding places till they laughed and moved so we couldn't hide
"Go on then you two, well come home when work is done until then you two play together" the man offered
"Go on then, y/n I'm sure whitey would love to come play tea party with you," my father suggested
"And whitey I'm sure y/n would love to play cowboys with you," his father offered before the foreman called and they both rushed off giving us a wave as they went down into the mines for the day.


I hummed my little tune as I sat on the porch with my little wooden table and chairs and my porcelain tea set all set out for my dollies and stuffed animals with a spare chair on the other side empty as I sipped my tea kicking my little feet till I heard
'clip clip clop clip clop clip clip clop' coming down the main road of down so I stood and crossed my arms as I spotted whitey clip clopping his little wooden horse down the path till he reached the gate and basically parked his wooden horse before running up to the porch
"your late" I told him
"I'm sorry honey, I got held up at work" he says so I hummed and he sighed jumping up the first step of my porch and giving my cheek a kiss so I went and sat at the table pouring him some tea and giving him a cookie
"How was work?" I ask
"Fine" he shrugs
"Fine?" I ask
"Just fine honey" he shrugs
"Don't lie to me whitey! I've seen you riding around with that missy girl" I said
"Huuu! What are ya sayin' about me y/n!"
"I saw you taking missy for a ride yesterday after work"
"Maybe I wouldn't have to, ya haven't ridden with me for years!"
"Huuu! Whitey! Don't talk that way around the children" I said covering my dolls ears
"I'm sorry honey, I don't want to fight Infront of the children," he says getting up and gathering all my dollies and plushies putting them inside the house "why don't we go back? Ya can come 'nd ride with me all day?" He offers
"Ohh whitey I don't know, it's been an long" I said
"Or we could take buttercup up to the fields tonight just you and me? I'll take the day off work ya dad can look after the kids-" he explained
"No were not dropping the kids on my father" I argue
"Well I'm not takin' them all up to the feilds, besides it's way past there bed time" he says
"Well they started up waiting for you" I yell
"Ya should have put them to bed ya knew I was going to be late" he argues
"You kids having fun playing house?" My father asked at the gate along with Arthur, whiteys dad
"Daddy!" We both yelled running into the arms of our fathers
"You two uhh... Play house funny" Arthur laughs
"Why? It's how most houses are," whitey shrugs
"Yeah" I giggled
"Alright, well that's enough house for today" my father smiled carrying me in his arms to be stood in the porch as whitey got his horse
"See you tomorrow Jacob" Arthur laughs
"See ya Arthur, say bye-bye y/n" my father smiled
"Bye-bye whitey" I giggled
"Bye y/n, same time tomorrow" he smiled as he waved goodbye as he went off with his father.
