Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 25

Michael's P.O.V.

"Mya stop that!!" I scolded as she painted on the wooden floor.

She giggled, "Daddy I make pretty picture." I shook my head, "Baby I gave you the paint so that you can paint on the paper."

She held up the paper and smiled, "I did already daddy." The paper was splattered with her hand prints and different size circles with red blue and orange. I smiled, "It's beautiful baby but when you finish with one paper you grab another one."

She frowned, "but daddyyy the paper is too small. The floor is giant and there's more space." I sighed and grabbed the sponges. "No princess paint on the paper."

I cleaned up the paint and sat next to her at her tiny table. I grabbed a paint brush and some paper. Art was always my strong point. I was always able to make something out of nothing. "Daddy what you doing?" Mya asked climbing into my lap. I smiled, "I'm gonna paint baby." 

"I help too?" She asked popping her paci into her mouth. I smiled kissing her cheek. "Of course you can baby."

We ended up painting a animals and princesses. We made several lions and tigers. We even made dolphins-my personal favorite. Mya painted about three Ariels and two snow whites. The painting session took up about an hour and a half surprisingly.

"Daddy I want food..."

I raised an eyebrow. "What was that?" She froze. "Um I hungry please daddy." I chuckled, "repeat after me baby....may I have food please?"

She twitched and spoke slowly picking at her band aid. "May I food daddy please?" I chuckled, "close enough."

I carried her into the dinning room and sat her in her high chair.

"What do you want baby?" Her face immediately lit up and she clapped. "Getti!!!" (Spaghetti). I chuckled kissing her lips. "Ok hun."

I sighed running a hand through my hair. "Mya honey relax."

Mya has been acting up since she finished her lunch. She's been running around, screaming and throwing things against the wall. She wouldn't even listen to me when I told her to cut it out. I didn't want to punish her because she's been great since she's been here.

"Mya" I said sternly. "Time out now." Her eyes widened and she stomped her foot. "NO!!"

I was getting frustrated. I lifted her petite frame and plopped her down in the corner. She pouted crossing her arms. "No fair..." I shook my head. "You didn't listen to daddy when I said stop did you?" She shook her head.

"Exactly so you are going to sit here and think about what you did. I will be back for you in five minutes."

I spun on my heel and walked away.

Mya's P.O.V.

When daddy walked away I stuck my tongue out at him. Stupid daddy. I was just having fun. What's wrong with fun? I shook my head. I wanna play... I looked over at daddy and saw that he was doing big boy work so I quietly stood and ran upstairs. I'm sure he won't notice.
