daniel's pov

today is a beautiful day. daniel doesn't mean just the weather; he finds it a very nice day overall.

in this exact moment, the three of them are enjoying the la sun in his backyard. four of them actually, because little lavender is chasing kobe around the garden. poor dog.

franny and him are watching from aside, making sure lavender doesn't trip or fall in the pool. and in the meantime, they're talking about everything and nothing.

"franny, i can't thank you enough for helping me today. i really appreciate it. i don't know what i would've done if you didn't come over and make her stop crying."

"it's nothing daniel. i really love being around her."

"yeah me too. she lifts everyone's spirits up. except for when she's screaming and crying of course!"

they're laughing, as they always are. just two young adults enjoying each other's company. only this time taking care of a little kid while they're at it.

"the sun is setting soon, we should probably go inside. it's dinnertime anyways."

"yeah you're right."

it took them a while to convince lavender to come back inside and leave kobe alone, but after all the three of them finally stand in the kitchen. the sun went down, and they're all hungry after the long day they've had.

"c'mon lav, we'll watch some tv while uncle dani cooks." franny says this while bending down to pick the toddler up.

but daniel won't let that happen. before franny came over, his plan was to order something, maybe a pizza. his plan had definitely never been to cook! daniel spares her an angry look and defends himself.

"hell nah"

"nah!"

the unknowing little girl mocks his tone. normally this would be considered cute, especially by daniel who loves her so much, but this is just not the time.

"hell yeah", franny spits back at him.

she's got guts! telling him what to do in HIS kitchen!

"franny unless you want lavender to eat food that is either burned or just fucked up in a different way, i'm not going to cook! i've had a long fucking day and i was going to order something! no fucking way that you're gonna make me cook now!"

his shouts fill the kitchen and are fast followed by franny's screaming.

"daniel watch your language! there's a kid present!"

"sorry! but you forgot i'm the one who's in charge here! i was asked to watch her, so i'm the one who decides what we eat!"

franny stares at him furiously. what is her problem? seriously!

"i'm sorry, but you forgot-", she begins, mocking him. "you seem to forget that you asked ME for help! you asked ME to come here because YOU couldn't fix the mess YOU created!"

"but i didn't ask for you to mess up my plans! lav and i would already be eating our pizza right now if it wasn't for you!"

this seems to really have woke up the fire inside of her.

"PIZZA!? that's not food you give to a one-year-old!"

"AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? GO COOK YOURSELF IF YOU WANT TO EAT HEALTHY SO BAD!"

their shouts fill the air. they're so loud that neither of them realize that the little girl beside them has bursted out into tears.

"WHY WOULD I DO THAT!? YOU JUST SAID IT, IT'S YOUR KITCHEN! SO YOU CAN COOK!"

"YOU'RE THE WOMAN HERE!"
