Lucas feels himself slowly beginning to open his eyes, seeing how Max rocks Annalise while she turns off the alarm on his nightstand.

"What are you doing?" Max questions when Lucas goes to sit up.

"I have to get up." Lucas answers.

"No you don't, today starts your month." Max says, her still softly rocking Annalise. "Whisper." She tells him in a lower tone.

"That's right." Lucas whispers while he goes to wipe his eyes a little. The month has progressed well, Amberlee finding calming down her housezilla ways and her taking a moment to just sit back and relax when nothing needs to be done, but of course for her the month passed by fast and now she has to go back to school. "I still have to make breakfast though—"

"No you don't El already said she would." Max says, her going to round the bed to slowly put Annalise back in her crib.

"Then I have to drop off Amberlee—"

"Nope. Mike is." Max answers, her going to lay down in the bed. "You get to sleep in now."

"But what about you? I can handle Annalise." Lucas says.

"Lucas I'm fine, you've been the one waking up early not me." Max comments.

"Yeah but what about—"

Lucas eyes widen when Max goes to push him down on the bed when he sits up, her going to get on top of him. "Damn when did you get so strong?"

"No clue." Max shrugs, her hands being on his chest. "If you want to go about doing everything after you get some sleep fine but you are sleeping in Lucas. I do get you want to spend some time with Anna too and that is completely okay, I'm going to be in the bed pretty much all day because I am still a little sore, but Lucas you need rest."

Lucas looks at her for a moment before he looks down at her hands on his chest. "Urm....you're in a...position...."

Max laughs while going to get off of him. "Well turn over let me give you a massage."

"Max you don't have to—"

"Shhh." Max hushes while putting her index finger over his lips. "You need to relax Lucas, just let me do this for you okay?"

"Okay." Lucas responds, Max going to give him a soft kiss before he goes to turn around.

Max goes to straddle his bottom, her hands going to slowly run down his back before she grabs the massage oil and begin to rub down his back.

Lucas immediately relaxes, him going to tuck his arms under the pillow, going to lay his head back down on the pillow as her hands begin to rub out all of the kinks in his back and sore spots. He lets out a content sigh, it honestly feeling good that he is able to sleep in and just lay down, him honestly missing the massage nights, it just being to busy to have it.

"Alright we ready?" Mike questions, him grabbing his bag.

"Yep." Sarah and William say in union.

"I don't wanna go back!" Amberlee pouts.

"Only three years left Ambie." Mike says while opening the door, all of them going to his car, Amberlee getting in the passenger side and Mike on the drivers side while Sarah and William get in the back.

"Three years to long." Amberlee says back.

Mike goes to drop off Sarah and William at the elementary school before he goes to pull into the high school. "Have a good day."
