"what you got planned today?" madison asks, moving the scrambled eggs around the searing hot pan while lamelo comes up behind her, hugging her.

"i got practice in a hour, of course, and afterwards is orientation for my aau team, so i'ma show up. and, um, me and t-ro might go out later," he breaks away when the toaster chimes, taking a slice, gliding fresh butter over it and biting into it.

"okay. laney has a play date at two and i have to meet with my agent at four along with more errands to run, so you might as well go out," she shrugs, plating his morning protein and cutting the stove off. "don't be out too late."

"you know i won't. i have to tend to some husbandly duties tonight," he smirks, taking the plate his wife offered.

"is that so?" madison smiles, holding in a chuckle.

"yes, ma'am. it is very much so," he sets the plate on the granite, grabbing a fork out of the drawer.

"that's cute. i'm gonna go upstairs and lay back down til laney comes to the room. have fun at practice," she kisses his cheek and heads towards the stairs.

"kiss laney one more time for me, i'm out!" he scarfs the eggs down while she jogs up the stairs.

madison gets into bed, tensing up when she felt her daughter tap on her shoulder.

"goodmorning."

"hey, tommy, what you doing up so early?" she rolls over, completely facing her daughter.

the little girl shrugs.

"you hungry?"

"kinda," she throws her shoulders again.

"come on," madison gets up and they head to the kitchen.

after five minutes, laney finally decides on a small bowl of cereal.

"you wanna watch TV?" madison looks back at laney while heading to the living area.
