Time for a Change

Morning- Mikey's POV

'poke' 'poke' 'poke, poke'

"Mikey... Mikey... wake up... I wanna make breakfast for mommy."

Skyler's voice brought me out of my sleep. I smiled.

"Morning little man... What do you want to make?"

"Mommy like pancakes." Skyler whispered.

"k. Why don't you get dressed and I'll meet you at the stairs. Ok?"

"Ok!"

     Skyler jumped off the bed and scrambled to his room. I looked at Emma, who was still asleep in my arms, and chuckled. She could sleep through a Squirrelanoid attack if she wanted to. I kissed her forehead before carefully getting out of bed.

      Grabbing my mask and went to check on Skyler but he was already dresses and waiting for me.

"Come on, come on, come on!" he said tugging at my arm.

      "Ok, ok!" I picked him up and put him on my shoulders. Going down the stairs Skyler squealed in delight as I skipped the last step and slid to the kitchen.

      Emma and Piper were already there. "Morning Ladies!" I called before I realized Piper's face was streaked with tears. "Ahh... You ok Piper?"

      She waved off my concern and put on a smile. "Yah, I'm fine. Just a nightmare. Are you going to make breakfast?"

      "Yep! Me and Sky here are making pancakes!" I said before taking Skyler off my shoulders. "Now come on Sky, we better get started if we want to surprise your mom."

"Ok!" he said as Piper left to find her cat.

"Good, now Sky can you find a big spoon and a big bowl for me?"

      The little boy nodded before running off to get the supplies. Allowing me to get all the ingredients. I set out the ingredients just as Skyler got up on his step stool and put the bowl and spoon on the counter.

      "Good job Sky! Now I need you to do the most important part ok?" I said, even though the spoon was just a regular spoon.

"What is it?"

      "I need you to stir the flour so that it doesn't fly away while I put the other ingredients together. Do you think you can do that for me?"

Skyler's eyes got big. "Yes!"

"Good!"

       I put the flour in the bowl for him and started mixing the other ingredients. That was when Leo and Piper walked in.

"Good morning mister Leo!" Skyler called. I smiled. He always called people mister or miss.

"Good Morning, Skyler," Leo said back, obviously enjoying the attention.

       Skyler went back to stirring before he looked back up at my oldest brother. "Hey mister Leo?"

"Yes?"

"If Mikey marries mommy and becomes my daddy, I get to call you Uncle Leo right?"

       I suddenly felt myself inhale my on spit. Coughing, I tried to get oxygen back in my lungs. Married? Daddy? Uncle?

      I didn't even hear Leo's reply as I was still trying to breath. I mean yah I've thought about it... of course I have. And I would Love for Sky to call me 'dad'. But I've only been dating Emma for four months!

       Once I was able to breath again I heard Emma's beautiful voice behind me asking what Skyler had said.

       I turned to her and pulled her into my arms and kissed her. "Nothing you need to worry about, Suger Cakes!" I said making Emma giggle as I nuzzled her neck.

Emma turned and kissed me on the lips.

Soooo much better then Pizza!! I thought as I kissed her back.

      "Yuck!" I heard Skyler say before feeling him squeeze himself between his mom and me to separate us.

      I chuckeled and gave Emma one last kiss before pouring my ingredients in with the flour Skyler was stirring. I quickly started to make the pancakes and as I was flipping the last one onto the plate I felt Emma come up behind me.

       "Hmm?" I asked but she didn't say anything in return. Instead I felt her nails slowly scratch my shell. I jumped at the feeling and pulled away for her. "Breakfast is ready!" I called trying to cover up my moan. I quickly placed the food on the table.

       Chloe had made eggs and bacon while I did the pancakes. We all sat down when father and Donnie came in and started to eat. I sat one the left side of Skyler as Emma sat on the right. I could see the little smirk on her lips and the playfulness in her eyes when she sat down and gave me a knowing look.

       In all honesty I didn't hear a word that Skyler said the entire breakfast. Instead I was more focused on the looks that Emma kept giving me.

       She knew that I would react that way when she scratched my shell! And she knew she had me wrapped around my finger. But that didn't mean I was going down without a fight!

All I had to do is think of a way to get her back.
