Shawn p.o.v.

I groan waking up to my alarm clock. I hit the snooze button and mutter, "5 more minutes." I snuggle closer to Mr.Muffin and my bed.

I hear tiny foot steps from outside my doors, but I don't pay any attention to it. I didn't realize somebody had opened my door till two little bodies jump on top of me screaming, "wake up wake up evewybody evewywhere wake up wake up."

I grab the two bodies and pull them down cuddling with them. They squealed and giggled. "Daddy we need to get weady for pweschool," Danny tells me.

"Sh, we should skip school and sleep in," I say.

"No, today is the last day of school," Drew whines. Why do I have such responsible children?

"Fine, but you have to promise to be little angels at school," I say letting go of them. They jump and Drew says, "no pwomises," and they run out of the room.

I roll my eyes and get up. I take a quick shower before changing into my clothes for school. I work at a private school as a music teacher. It pays well and my students are great. I'm one of the most popular teachers at the school. The only problem is that a lot of my students and teachers are really touchy people. They always find an excuse to touch me.

I walk out of the room and something runs and hits my leg. I almost fall, but catch myself. I look down and see a brown haired and blue eyed little girl. "Lizzie what's wrong," I say. She points down the hall and her two brothers run in with water guns. When they see me they hide the guns behind their back.

I raise an eyebrow. "Jamie, Alex were you bothering your sister," I ask. They shake their head no. "Liar," Lizzie says. They glare at her. "Give me the water guns. You know you can't use them inside the house. Remember what happened to uncle Jack." They giggle at the memory of him slipping.

They both reluctantly gave me their water guns and I take them to their father who is making breakfast. "Good morning Shawn," Cam greets. "Good morning," I greet back. He hands me a plate full of waffles, eggs, and bacon.

"Have the kids eaten," I ask.

"Yeah, I then told your kids to wake you up, since I knew you'd be a lazy ass," he says.

"Daddy needs to put a dollar in the swear jar," Lizzie says. I chuckle at them. I then look around and it seems really quiet. That is really odd. When you live in a house with six adults and 10 children quietness is rare.

"Where is everybody," I ask.

"The Jacks took their daughters out to the carnival before they tell them the news," he says sadly. The Jacks are moving away for Jack G's job. We were all sad to hear it, but they are moving to a city next to my hometown. Maybe I can go visit them if I ever go back home to my parents.

"Then the Reynolds went out job hunting." Carter and Matt lost their job because the company they worked at went under. Luckily though their jobs payed well and they were smart enough to put a lot of it in savings. The only problem is nowhere in this area are hiring and they are speaking of moving too. I sigh thinking about our family moving away from each other.

"Daddy, why you sad," Danny asks looking up at me with his brother.

"Nothing. Daddy was just thinking," I amswer.

"Want a hug," Drew asks.

"Yes I could use a hug," I say. I pick them both up and the three hug each other really tightly. I let go of them and begin my breakfast.

"Daddy. Where did I get my name," Lizzie asks her father who was also eating breakfast.

"Why'd you want to know," he asks back.
