The Smith mansion was filled with life as movements and discussions could be heard from every corner, the occupants currently getting ready to walk out the door and start on with their individual busy days.

Mr Smith walked into the dinning hall, his now wife; Sophia's arm linked in his, her other hand holding his beige suit jacket.

Walking behind them was Mr Fredrick, who took a seat right after they did, Sophia now handing the jacket to an already waiting Luna who walked out with it to hang it in his car waiting in the driveway.

Chloe and two of her girls quickly served everyone seated, passing plates of well prepared breakfast courses around the table while Ava gently placed the tea cups on the saucers before they did a quick bow and walked out of the hall, taking the carts with them.

"How's Ma'am Grace, is she feeling any better?" Mr Smith started, already forking a piece of bacon.

"Huh, she's definitely better than before but I'll be going with her to the hospital today." Sophia answered, wiping imaginary dust off his shoulder as she inspected his look.

"You could just ask the doctor to come over and save yourselves the stress? Isn't it an appointment with our family doctor?" He questioned

"Yes it is, but she insisted on going to him, the doctor tried to convince her too but she says it's better since she'll get to exercise too, so we should just allow her to do as she wants."

"Exercise?" He chuckled "Well I guess I can't change her mind, suit yourselves" He shook his head before returning to his food.

"Morning Dad!" Byron greeted as he walked into the hall, Mr Charles following closely behind. He flashed Sophia a smile once he'd gotten closer ; "Morning".

"Morning, how was your night?" She responded with a warm smile.

"Good! What's up with Dad?" He asked, taking note of his father's expression.

"It's just him and Ma'am Grace,You know how they are," Sophia answered, smiling.

"Oh I know that look, she's not doing what he wants, is she? And he isn't able to change her mind" He smiled, clicking his fingers.

"Exactly!" Sophia replied, nodding in affirmation as they mirrored the other's smile.

"I swear they're like siblings sometimes" He laughed, immediately raising his hands in surrender when his Dad shot him a sharp glare from where he was seated; "I didn't even breathe!" He uttered jokingly causing everybody to laugh out loud, Mr Smith shaking his head as he joined in.
He finally pulled out a seat, watching as Luna walked back in to serve his breakfast quietly.

Cameron arrived at the dinning which was now empty, noticing Chloe marching into the space from her previous spot in the kitchen, a formal smile on her face as she got to set the table for him and Mr Jack, as she did, she could make out the figures of Midas and Aiden closing in.

"Did Dad leave?" Cameron asked Sophia to walk in too.

"Yes, Byron too," She responded.

"Morning," He greeted Sophia when she was within earshot.

"Morning and good morning to the both of you" She chirped to Midas and Aiden who were just taking their seats.

"Morning!!" They chorused with a smile which she responded with a nod, lovingly ruffling Aiden's hair, causing him to whine before leaving them to their food.

Ava arrived in a matter of minutes, food for both boys in tow while they continued their discussions mainly about school work and how much they hated a few of their mean professors like any other sane University student.
