“Daddy, ahem… ahem…” Ellie was afraid of exposing herself. Thus, she hid in the comforter and continued, “There’s someone inside Mommy’s room!”
Startled by the things his daughter brought up, he repeated after her, “What? Are you telling me they’re spending time in her room?”
“Yes! Although he’s quite a good-looking and friendly man, I don’t want to be anywhere near him because he’s not my father!”
The anxious Zachary repeated his question, “Ellie, are you sure they’re currently in your mother’s room?”
“Yes! He made his way to Mommy’s room shortly after he got himself changed into a set of pajamas! Up until now, he hasn’t made his way out yet!” Ellie hesitated before asking in a hushed voice, “I have read about a woman getting pregnant after spending a night with a man. Are we expecting another few siblings in a few months?”
“No! That won’t be the case!”
“H-Huh?”
Out of nowhere, the man on the other end asked, “Ellie, do you want some of Mrs. Rawlston’s hot cross bunnies?”
“Yes! But I can’t get any of those since Mommy can’t really make it!”
Zachary wiped his hair dry and asked, “Shall I drop by with a few hot cross bunnies for you? Are you feeling sleepy?”
Thrilled by her father’s suggestion, she started jumping for joy. “No! I can’t wait to meet you, Daddy! When are you coming over?”
Upon a glance at the clock, he announced, “It’s currently eight-thirty—I’ll be there in thirty minutes at nine sharp!”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you, Daddy!”
Shortly after he hung up the call, Zachary instructed Ben to retrieve a few hot cross bunnies from the kitchen.
Concerned about Zachary’s condition, the confused Ben asked with a frown, “What are you trying to do with those when you’re supposed to be sleeping?”
Irked by Ben’s question, Zachary repeated himself, “Just get going and stop poking your nose into my business!”
After Ben returned with the hot cross bunnies, he asked, “Can you at least tell me where you’re going when it’s already getting late?”
