Drew had let you go play outside since it was still early and it was nice outside. However, an hour passed by, and the weather started to get hotter; it was too hot for you to be outside. He didn't want you to get overheated or sunburned. He sighed softly as he got up and opened the back door, leaning against the doorframe of it.
You were sitting on a small picnic blanket, coloring in one of your books. Not even noticing how hot it had gotten. "Angel, it's time to come inside." Drew said gently, expecting you to listen and come inside.
Although you obviously had different plans. You puffed your cheeks a bit. "But... I don't want to..." you whined.
Drew was starting to feel a bit frustrated, but he pushed it down and decided to be patient for now. "I wasn't asking. It's too hot for you to be out here; I'm telling you to come inside. Now." His voice was a bit firmer now.
Usually you would've taken the warning and listened, but instead you continued to be stubborn and bratty. "No." Your bottom lip started to wobble, crossing your arms tightly.
Drew's jaw tightened in frustration. He had never met someone as stubborn as you. "That's it." He huffed as he quickly made his way to where you were sitting. He ignored your whining and protesting as he picked you up over his shoulder and started to carry you back into the house.
Tears of frustration and stubbornness ran down your face; you tried to kick your feet. Unfortunately for you, Drew's grip on the back of your legs prevented you from doing so.
He carried you all the way back inside and sat you down on the staircase. He noticed your crying getting worse. He dug inside his pocket and pulled out your pacifier.
"C'mon baby, I didn't make you come inside just to be mean." Drew pointed out firmly, as he gestured for you to take the pacifier in hopes it'd calm you down. You furrowed your brows; you took the pacifier out of his hand only to throw it at his chest. "Yes, you did!" you cried, hiccuping through your tears.
"Hey, look at me. Take a deep breath." He knelt down on his knee to be eye level with you. "Just like Daddy, okay?" He grabbed your hand and placed it on his chest as he took a deep breath.
You sniffled quietly as you started to sync your breathing with his.
Drew smiled softly as he started to notice your breathing and crying slowing down. "There we go..." his thumb wiping off the leftover tears on your face.
"All better. You can play outside tomorrow, I promise. Daddy just doesn't want you out in the heat right now." He explained gently, his thumb softly rubbing your cheek. "Do you understand now?"
"Yes..." you mumbled, nodding your head.
"Good. Let's go watch a movie, yeah?" He offered as he picked you up into his arms.
