-Gabby's Pov-

I'm building a car, it's blue and has black tires. The Lego I'm building with is old but it's the only Lego we have and it's perfect. The car has a daddy in it and the rest of his family is in the house I built earlier. It's a red house with windows and even some interior.

My brother comes into the room. In his hand he has a green racing car he got from grandpa in his birthday.

"Where's my yellow car?" He asks.

"I don't know" I reply.

"You played with it last" he say.

"No, you did" I say.

I go back to building my Lego car, in fact, I only have the roof left on it. But I don't think I have enough blue Legos to complete the roof so I might have to remove the pond on he lawn to be able to finish the car.

"You lost my car!" He says and pick up the Lego board and throw it on the floor.

All the pieces come loose and spread out over the floor. The house is now a wreck and the car might need a reparation.

"Mom! Antonio broke my Lego house!" I scream, feeling my eyes watering up.

"But mom, she lost my car!" He screams back.

My mother place her hand on my shoulder...

I wake up feeling something touching my shoulder. I turn around to my side and see my baby girl laying her back between Matt and I. Matt is holding a fluffy stuffed elephant in the air over Zoë, we got it from Herrmann literally the day we told him I was pregnant.

"Good morning beautiful" Matt says, trying to play with Zoë who doesn't look so impressed.

"How long have you two been up?" I ask, looking at the clock, it's 07.30 am.

"Well three times this night. But we got up at like seven" he say.

I look at Zoë and then at the elephant "so you've been doing that for thirty minutes?" I say to tease him, but just for fun.

"Yep, not a single smile" he replies and smiles.

I lean over and kiss him on the lips. He kiss me back. But it's a short kiss this time because I really need to eat, I'm starving.

"I'm 'gonna do some breakfast" I say and walk out our bedroom and to the kitchen "and you can bring Zoë here when you realize you're going to be late for shift" I say loudly from the kitchen.

It doesn't take long before Matt comes out with his navy blue pants on, shirt over his shoulder and Zoë in his arms.

He hand her over to me and kiss me while he's close.

"I had it all under control" he say, putting on his shirt.

"If you say so lieutenant" I say with obvious sarcasm.

"Thanks for reminding me" he say and give me another kiss before he rush toward he door.

"I'll be there before lunch" I say before he leaves.

It will be hard for him to be a daddy and firefighter at the same time but we will make it work because we are going to do what we love, and if we love more than one thing we are going to love several things at the same time because that's what we do.

That's what makes us the Dawson-Casey's.
