"Mommy, wake up." Titus tapped his mother's cheek and giggled once her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey, baby. What's wrong?" He shook his head with a smile.

"I just wanted you to wake up. Good morning, mommy. You're so pretty." Armelle smiled and kissed his cheek before sitting up.

She looked over at Tobias and Tabitha, laughing softly at Tabitha's soft snores.

Titus sat in Armelle's lap and rested his head on her chest. "You wanna start on breakfast, sweetheart?"

He nodded quickly and carefully got out of bed with his mother.

"Go brush your teeth, baby." He walked out of the bedroom and went to his bathroom.

She brushed her teeth and freshened up before going downstairs.

Titus was already downstairs and started making pancakes, turkey bacon, and egg whites with his mother.

"Tot, could you set the table? The plates and forks are on the counter." He nodded and carefully placed the plates and forks on the placemats.

"Good morning!" Titus ran over to his uncles and let Terry pick him up.

He wrapped his arms around his neck and held a conversation with them.

"Did you guys have a good night sleep?" The guys nodded with smiles and Terry placed Titus back on the floor before sitting down.

"I forgot how comfortable that bed is." Armelle nodded with a light laugh and placed the food on the table.

Titus and his uncles started adding food to their plates just as Tabitha waltzed into the dining room.

"Good morning, family!" She hugged her uncles and sat down next to her brother with a smile.

"Where's daddy, Toes?" Armelle sat a pitcher of orange juice on the table and rested her hand on top of Tabitha's head as she ate.

"Right here." Tobias walked into the dining room and kissed his wife before sitting down.

Armelle smiled and sat next to her husband, stacking his plate with food.

"You want some coffee?" He shook his head and started eating his pancakes.

"I'm good, babe." He kissed her cheek and went back to eating.

Armelle wrapped her arms around his right arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Mommy, are you going to eat?" She shook her head at her daughter with a gentle smile and Tobias looked at his wife.

"You sure, baby?" She nodded and leaned up to kiss him.

He smiled and kissed her back before leaving a soft kiss on her nose.

She stared at him lovingly and he had to hold himself back from passionately kissing her in front of their kids.

"Could y'all not?" They looked over at Tyler and narrowed their eyes playfully.

"Don't, Tyler." Armelle cracked a smile as her husband laughed.

His smile was a complete turn-on and she had to cross her legs as he stared at her.

She raised her eyebrows and slightly nodded her head towards the direction of the stairs.

He nodded with a smirk on his lips and sat his fork down before looking over at his brothers.

"We got it. We'll get them to school." Terry smiled at them and Armelle stood up with a smile, maneuvering around the table to give her children kisses.
