Monday November 20th, 2034

After a long and busy weekend, everyone was gearing up for Thanksgiving this coming Thursday. Meanwhile, Y/n was preparing for her first week as Director of A&R. Excitement brewed throughout the house, even for the music executive.

Thanks to her and Normani's active weekend, they both woke up feeling much lighter than before. Friday night's activities lasted well into Saturday morning's, with a few more quickies thrown in on Sunday. It's as if they were a couple of teenagers.

Regardless, Monday morning was here and Normani wanted to ensure that her wife had a great start to her first day. She got up early, something she hadn't done in years, made her and the kids breakfast, made Y/n's favorite latte, and went back upstairs to make sure she was up on time.

"Good morning babe." Normani softly caressed Y/n's face, careful not to startle her awake. Y/n stirred for a moment before her eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning baby." she mumbled before stretching her entire body out. Normani leaned down to kiss her wife and Y/n accepted her affection. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I just wanted to make sure your first day started off well. I know you're nervous so I wanna help relieve that stress for you."

"You did plenty of that this weekend." Y/n chuckled and Normani rolled her eyes playfully.

"Whatever. Anyways, I made your coffee and your breakfast. It's downstairs so you can either come eat now or wait until after you get dressed. The kids are eating already."

"I'll come down now then. Thank you baby." Y/n sat up and kissed her wife again. One more stretch and she was on her way into the kitchen, greeted by her four children.

"Morning mama." Bash spoke up first.

"Morning mama!" the twins chimed in.

"Morning!" Nyx smiled, mouth full of eggs.

"Ew man, chew your food up first." Y/n chuckled. "Morning y'all, make sure you thank your mom for making you breakfast."

"Thanks mommy!" "Thanks ma!" they sounded off with their expressions of gratitude.

"Ready for your first day?" Noah asked.

"I think I am, hopefully I am." Y/n took a bite out of her eggs. She noticed Mani was still standing by the sink washing dishes. "Baby come eat your food, it'll get cold. We'll all wash the dishes when we're done."

Normani complied, sitting at the island next to her wife. She leaned her head onto Y/n's shoulder and ate her eggs as she finished talking.

"Y'all got all y'all work in for school this week? I don't want y'all to fall behind during holiday break." Mani asked.

"Yes ma'am." they answered.

"Good. Speaking of holiday break, you still have to work during the holiday?" Mani nudged Y/n.

"Nah, BB gave me the days off for Thursday and Friday. My PTO rolled over so." the executive shrugged. Her children and wife cheered, happy to have her home for the holiday. Y/n's face light up with a smile. "Glad to hear you're all excited."

"Of course we are!" Noah said.

"We love it when you're home, duh! Keep up!" Nyx shook his head and continued eating his breakfast. Y/n chuckled and took her last bite of her food.

"Alright, alright! Ima go get dressed for work. Thank you baby." She kissed Normani on the cheek, put her plate and fork in the dishwasher, and went upstairs to change for work.
