Peggy POV:

I woke up to the smell of crêpes and chocolate croissants. I heard Paris and Lafayette coming back up the stairs, so I "slept" as they walked in the room. Paris jumped on my bed. "ACK!" I yelled.

Lafayette placed the breakfast tray on my lap and picked up Paris.

"Do you want to give mommy your card?" He asked Paris. Paris squirmed out of his arms and gave me a card.

The card said "Happy Mothers Day Mommy! I love you this much...
←------------------------------------------------>
Love, Paris"

"Thank you Paris." I said, hugging her. I let her eat one of my chocolate croissants.

Once I finished my breakfast, we went downstairs to clean the dishes.

When I walked into the kitchen, Lafayette was there with a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of roses. He also handed me a large box. I sat down and opened it, Paris standing behind me.

"A PUPPY!!!" Paris squealed.

"I knew you'd like it!" Said Lafayette. I hugged the puppy gently, then let Paris hold it while I stood up to hug Lafayette.

"Best. Mothers Day. EVER!" I said.

"What do we name him?" Asked Paris.

"What about....Baguette?" Lafayette suggested.

"Perfect!" I replied.

Lafayette is always good at coming up with perfect names. He chose Paris' name. Always with French stuff though! XD

Burr POV:

"Theo?" I asked, knocking on her door. Mothers day was always hard for her.

"come in...." She said softly.

We weren't doing great financially but I saved up enough money to buy her a box of chocolates.

I handed her the box. "I'm not hungry..." she said.

"That's alright" I said, hugging her. Just then heard a knock at the door. I half expected to see Alexander and Eliza when I opened the door but it wasn't them.

Instead, it was 2 police men. "Sir you are under arrest for using counterfeit money at Marvin's Chocolate Shop" one said.

Oh man- they figured it out. I was in so much trouble now. I may have lied... I didn't save up my money but I am in a financial situation.

"You can either come downtown with us or pay a fine" the other said. Theo came out of her room to see what was happening.

"I can't pay a fine...but I can't leave my daughter" I said back. What was I going to do!

"We'll take you daughter to a daycare or she can wait at the station" the first one said.

"I- I wanna wait at the station." she replied. One officer took Theo into his car. The other handcuffed me and stuffed me into the backseat of his car and off we went.
