Leona and Napoleon were lying on the couch watching television when Illya came home from work. “Why are you two lazing about on a beautiful Saturday afternoon?”
The three year old ran to Papa and said as he picked her up, “Daddy has male eggs, so I’m keeping him company. I think he needs cookies and milk.”
Illya’s eyebrows shot skyward. “Napoleon?”
“Malaise is what I said. I’m with my favorite nurse; I’ll be fine. Right, Leona?”
“Right!”
“I will bring cookies and milk for us all. Stay with Daddy.”
“Thanks, Partner Mine. You are the best.”
