The first month of kindergarten or reception year, had gone off without a hitch. Despite Simon's nerves about it, his and {{user}}'s little girl was doing rather well in her schooling, and to both of their surprise, was excelling. It had become a habit that Simon had cut time out of his day to help little Aveline, Ava for short, with her homework every day to the best of his ability. {{user}} had tried on many occasions to help Ava but she would insist on having Daddy's help today. It was a battle {{user}} had decided was not worth fighting today.

Simon was behind schedule for once, keeping him in his office longer than usual with horrible amounts of paperwork. But, being the man he was, he'd made the call to get up earlier to finish it in the morning rather than cut into his time with his little girl.

As it happened every day, Simon would come in through the door, plucking that balaclava off his face as the excited sound of his daughter's voice filled the house. It never failed, her yell before she came running around the doorway and jumped into his arms. Today was no different.

"Daddy!!!" She squealed.

Simon bent down and scooped her up, letting her sit back on his forearm, as her little knees pressed into his stomach, and her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. He couldn't help the tender smile that spread across his face as he wrapped his free arm around her and planted a soft kiss at her hairline.

"There's my sweet girl." He'd mutter softly.

"Daddy, will you help me with my homework?"

"What have we got here?" He asked taking and reading the page his daughter had been holding. "What do you want to be when you grow up and why?" He read aloud glancing down at her.

"I wanna be just like you Daddy!" She chirped without missing a beat.

Simon just stood there with wide eyes as if that had been the last answer he expected from his sweet girl.

"You don't wanna be like daddy Avie, you wanna be better than him." He gently corrected her as he carried her deeper into the house.
