5 years ago Cheryl and Toni adopted three children. In this one shot, their oldest daughter has a question about a new experience she is about to have.

- Amy, who is now 16 years old. She is stubborn, very bossy and often has an attitude towards her parents. She has a boyfriend named Lucas.

- Owen who is 8 years old. He is smart, yet quiet and likes to read a book in silence. He also has a twin brother.

- Caleb who is also 8 years old, he is very hyper active and needs a lot of attention. He loves animals and is therefore usually playing in the backyard.

- Cheryl and Toni are both 29 years old. They have been married for 3 years and are still madly in love <3

Cheryl and Toni are laying in bed, enjoying the time they have for themselves before it's time to get up and make breakfast for the kids.

"Goodmorning babe", Toni says after Cheryl turns around to face her and open her eyes.

Cheryl leans in to peck her wife on the lips, "goodmorning to you too beautiful."

Toni smiles while stretching her arms out. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes I-

"MOMMIES"

They suddenly hear a high pitched voice coming from the other side of the room. Cheryl looks around to see Caleb hop on the bed and excitedly jump up and down on their mattress.

Owen climbs on the bed as well with his stuffed animal in his right hand and his left thumb in his mouth. He lays down next to Toni, with his eyes closed and his head resting on her chest.

The twins were never much alike, they had always had different personalities and traits. Nevertheless beautiful and precious in their own way.

"Boys, why don't we go downstairs and make some pancakes yeah", Cheryl says after 5 minutes of watching over a hyper active child, who is pretending their bed is a trampoline.

"Yesss, I love pancakes", Caleb says, celebrating by jumping on top of Cheryl and hugging her tightly.

"Ouch"

Toni laughs, "Let's go then," she says while caressing Owen's back to wake him up. "It's time for pancakes sweetheart." She whispers in his ear after gently kissing his forehead.

Owen slowly awakens and the four of them make their way downstairs.

"We should go get Amy", Caleb says, turning around halfway, sprinting down the hallway.

"No Caleb, leave her be please", Cheryl tries to say but it's already too late. Caleb knocks hard on his sister's door with his fists. "Amyyyy, wake up."

Cheryl is slightly annoyed, she has told Caleb multiple times to not wake his sister in the morning and yet he still does it every time. "Caleb please, we talked about this." Cheryl grabs his arm, kneeling down in front of him, "you're not allowed to wake your sister okay? Do you remember?"

Caleb's enthusiasm vanishes immediately after hearing his mother's harsh words. He now seems upset and on the verge of crying. "I'm sorry mommy."

"It's okay baby, but can you remember what I said before? Do not wake your sister." Cheryl says looking at her sad son.

Caleb nods, wiping a tear away with his sleeve.

"Now let's go eat some pancakes shall we?" Toni says trying to brighten up everyone's mood.
