4 years later...

"Isabella, time to get up sweetheart!"

Harry calls out as he quickly tries to make 2 breakfasts. He slides the plates across the table and walks upstairs, knowing she is definitely still in bed. He walks into her room and of course, she is still snuggled beneath the covers without a care in the world. He gently peels back her blankets and lifts her up.

"Come on angel time to wake up."

He says as she grumbles in his arms as he carries her downstairs. He sits her down in her seat and looks over when he hears slow footsteps descending down the stairs. Maya appears with two year old James in her arms who is very much awake and alive. Her bead head is very prominent and she slightly resembles a corpse.

"Good morning."

Harry says and she grumbles something intelligible as she sits James down in his high chair.

"This rascal wouldn't sleep all night."

"I heard."

Harry says and she glares at him.

"Yeah and tonight you get to deal with that."

She says and he chuckles as Isabella eats her waffles.

"He's got your attitude."

Harry says and Maya laughs.

"Yeah but I don't know where his energy comes from."

She says as she cuts up the waffles into smaller pieces for him. Harry opens the fridge covered in artwork by Isabella and slides her over a cup of milk that he forgot to put out and she smiles.

"For show and tell can I bring in James?"

She asks and Harry pauses.

"..Not sure about that angel, but I know what you could bring in."

He says and quickly grabs all of her Tim Burton DVD's.

"Good idea."

She says and he smiles, before pressing a quick kiss to the top of her head.

"Go get dressed, we've got to leave soon."

He says and she nods, before running upstairs.

"And now he decides that he doesn't want to eat."

Maya says defeatedly as she slumps over in her chair in front of James who is clapping away without a care in the world. Harry gently brushes back his wife's hair and kisses her cheek.

"Give him a few minutes, I'm sure he'll be hungry then."

"But what if he's not!?"

She stresses and Harry chuckles.

"Then we'll just pack him an extra snack for daycare."

He says and Maya pauses before nodding.

"Good idea."

She says and Harry smiles. A few minutes later, Isabella rushes back down, dressed and ready with her backpack and hops on the couch to watch TV. She is usually the first person ready. After she is ready, Harry takes James and gets him dressed while Maya gets ready for work before they all head out to the car and get seated for the ride.

"You've got everything?"

Maya asks Isabella and she nods.

"Anything for us to sign, permission slips, tests?"

Isabella lets out an "oh" of realization and pulls out a quiz, handing it to Maya who is in the passenger's seat. She looks at the score, a 100 and nods.
