The Calm Before The Storm

Chapter 1~

=Edited=
Pop!
The toast jumps out of the toaster, causing Elise to grab at the air, her blonde piggy tails bouncing slightly on her soft shoulders.
I adjusted my phone onto my shoulder and took the toast out of the toaster, putting butter then jam on it and handed it to my eager daughter.
I left a kiss on her forehead before I returned to my phone call.
"So are we still meeting up for Lunch or what?" Jason asked.
I sat on the couch and watched my son watch cartoons.
He saw me then crawled up to me, digging his face into my chest.
"Hey Mum," he said softly.
I kissed his forehead gently.
"Yeah sure Jason I just have to drop Conner at Karate and Elise at Kate's place," I answered.
"Alright we'll talk later, I have big news! Bye!" And with that he hung up.
I placed my phone down and adjusted Conner so he sat on my waist.
"Tell me what colour belt your getting again?" I asked.
He loves talking about his karate.
"Blue," he smiled and started doing actions in the air with his hands.
I giggled and hugged him gently.
"Can you go put your Gi on for mummy so we can head off?" I ask him softly.
He jumps off me and his bare feet patter off to his room.
I then head back to Elise who has managed to coat her whole face in jam.
I giggle and pick her up.
"Look at your face!" I smile.
"I'm sowwy Mummy," she says softly.
I kiss her sticky cheek gently and then we walk to the bathroom.
I place her on the counter then wipe her face down.
I then place her down.
"Can you go pack the toys you want to take? Remember you can only take five toys just so you don't lose them at Kate's place," she nodded then ran off to her room.
Conner comes up to me and hugs me from behind.
I jump slightly.
"I'm ready mum," he smiled.
I turn around.
"Alright brush your teeth and make sure you have everything," I say softly.
He nods and grabs his toothbrush.
I leave the room to fill up a water bottle for Conner.
I then turn the tv off and clean up their breakfast.
Elise comes running out.
"Honey can you pack up your toys then brush your teeth with your brother?" I ask.
She nods and places her flower bag on the counter.
I open the bag.
A brown haired doll dressed in all green, a stuffed animal, her drawing kit, another doll, her pink glitter bouncy ball and her robot dog.
I smile.
She's cheeky; she definitely takes after me.
I place Connors water bottle in his bag just as they both run out, showing me bright white teeth.
"Good job!" I smile and hand Elise her bag and place Conners bag on his shoulders.
They run out to the car and I grab my handbag, phone and keys then head out after them, locking the door behind me.
