"Hey, honey, you want an apple or an orange for snack time, today?" Tom asks Anika, your daughter of eight years. She glances up from her fried eggs and buttered toast, the breakfast Tom had prepared for her.

"Uhm... oranges, please?"

"You got it, sweetie," Tom smiles, zipping up her lunchbox before setting it on the counter. Anika's seated at one of the kitchen stools for breakfast, waiting for you to come down the stairs and take her to school. You have work directly after, so it's convenient to kill two birds with one stone.

"Mommy's almost ready, can you go brush your teeth for me?"

Anika nods sweetly, running upstairs to the bathroom. Tom gathers her school supplies, putting everything in her small backpack before finding her coat on the hook and preparing for when she comes back downstairs.

"Look at you, Anika, all dressed early for school," You come down the stairs with your work bag and a hand running through Anika's hair. "You're very-" You cut yourself off as you see Tom in the living room with Anika's belongings. You pout your lip out, and she runs towards Tom for a goodbye hug. "Tommy," your shoulders sag in complete awe. "You didn't have to come help."

"Of course I did, love," Tom smiles. "I know how busy your mornings are, so I thought I'd help get Anika ready. Isn't that right, sweet cakes?" Tom glances down and Anika nods enthusiastically. You smile again, and Tom kneels down to help Anika put her coat on. Tom gives her one final kiss on the forehead, before handing the girl her lunchbox and getting the straps of her backpack on her shoulders.

"Let's see how fast you can get in the car and buckle your seatbelt, yeah? I bet Mommy can do it faster than you," Tom challenges, and Anika shakes her head before running through the front door and towards the driveway. Tom stands up, turning back to you. "Your coffee is in the car's cup-holder. It's still hot, so drink it when you get to work."

You put your bag down for a moment, linking your arms behind Tom's neck. He's taken aback by the sudden embrace, but he welcomes it by placing his arms around your waist.

"What's this for?"

You lean your head on his chest, "Just... thank you."

Tom smiles softly, though you can't see it from your position, and his hands give your sides a loving squeeze.

Eventually, you and Tom separate, and Tom walks you to the car, checking in on Anika and ensuring her seatbelt is on. It is, and Anika is raving about how much faster she was than you. You chuckle, sitting in the driver's seat with a running car and an open window. Tom leans on the frame.

"I love you," you tell him, and his face softens. He nods, whispering an "I love you, too," before sending you a kiss and letting you and Charlie go about your days.
