"Toni, Toni," Cheryl said, watching Toni groggily wake up.

"Hm, baby," Toni mumbled, barely awake.

"We have to get the twins party ready," Cheryl exclaimed urgently.

Toni rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock. "What time is it?" she asked, still half-asleep.

"It's five in the morning," Cheryl replied.

Toni let out a groan. "Do we have to do it now?" she pleaded, hoping for a few more minutes of sleep.

[10:41 am]

Cheryl creaked the door open to the twins' room, careful not to make too much noise. "My loves, are you up?" she whispered, peeking inside. 

The twins' TV was playing in the background.

"I'm up, mommy," Daen replied, his eyes still glued to the screen. 

Cheryl smiled and walked over to his bed. "Good morning, my birthday boy," she said, ruffling his hair. 

"Good morning, mommy," Daen greeted her with a wide grin. 

"What are you watching?" Cheryl asked, taking a moment to glance at the TV. 

"Flintstones," Daen answered, with excitement.

Cheryl chuckled, remembering Daen's determined decision. "Are you still dressing up as Bamm-Bamm for your birthday?" she inquired playfully. 

Daen nodded enthusiastically, his eyes lighting up with the thought of his costume.

"Should we wake Grace?" Cheryl asked, gesturing towards her peacefully sleeping sister. 

"Yeah, wake sissy," Daen replied eagerly. Cheryl approached Grace's bedside and gently tapped her shoulder. 

"Hm?" Grace mumbled, slowly stirring from her slumber. 

"Are you ready to get up, birthday girl?" Cheryl asked softly. 

"Mhm," Grace replied.

"Come on, Momma's downstairs," Cheryl said, lifting Grace into her arms and then grabbing Daen's little hand. They made their way downstairs and found Toni busy putting up Halloween decorations.

"Look who we have up!" Cheryl exclaimed. Toni looked up and smiled at Cheryl. 

"Good morning, Halloween babies!"

"Good morning, Mama," Daen replied with a grin. Toni walked over to Daen and gently picked him up. 

"Mommy, is Boni and Viper coming?" Grace asked eagerly.

"Yes, baby, we've talked to everyone. All your cousins and Boni are coming," Cheryl reassured her.

"I want mama," Grace said to Cheryl. 

Toni, seeing the sadness in Grace's eyes, gently placed Daen down and walked over to Cheryl. Taking Grace out of Cheryl's Hand.

"Come on, little monster," Cheryl said playfully to Daen, winking at him, "Let's make breakfast while Mommy caters to Sissy."

Daen looked puzzled and asked, "Okay, but what does 'cater' mean?"

Cheryl smiled, amused by Daen's curiosity. She crouched down to his level, ruffling his hair affectionately. "Well, little one," she began, "to 'cater' means to provide or take care of someone's needs, just like what Mama does for your big sister."

Daen nodded, his eyes widening in realization. "Oh, I get it now, So we're going to take care of breakfast because Mama is busy."

Cheryl proudly, hugging Daen tightly. "Exactly. You're a clever little monster."
