♪ SIX ♪

Jonah hums softly, refusing to move in fear of disturbing Aurora, who sleeps peacefully with her head on his shoulder.

The girls had stayed up until three in the morning, laughing and growing closer as dawn approached. That is, until the boys came downstairs and brought them to bed.

Jonah, who had originally insisted sleeping on the floor as Aurora lay in his bed, wound up on the bed - with several feet in between the two - and Aurora's hand clasped onto his wrist to make sure he didn't move to the floor once she fell asleep.

Somehow in the middle of the night, the two had gravitated towards each other and Jonah woke up to his arm around Aurora's waist and her head snuggled into his shoulder.

Stroking her hair absentmindedly, he can't help but to admire how beautiful she looks in the early morning light. Even with her usual facade of make-up wiped away, she was perfect in every way.

Jonah couldn't wait for the day he would be able to call her his.

An alarm on Jonah's phone erupts shrilly, scaring Aurora so badly she nearly falls out of the bed. She groans, quickly hiding under a pillow.

"Good morning, sunshine," Jonah grins, turning his alarm off. "Are you ready to get up?"

"No." The girl states stubbornly

"Would you get up if I told you we have coffee?"

Aurora thinks about it for a moment, before sitting up and stretching her arms out. "Only if you carry me."

The boy chuckles, nevertheless picking the sleepy brune up bridal style and walking down the stairs. Careful not to run into any walls, they successfully make it to the kitchen, where he sits her down on a chair at the island.

Next to her sits Corbyn - who looks as though he's been up for hours - and across the island sits Zach, munching on a bowl of cereal.

"Why are you up so early?" Jonah asks, sliding a premade cup of coffee over to Aurora, who accepts it gratefully. "You're never up this early."

"It's because Carmen is here," Corbyn teases, earning a glare from the youngest boy. "He wants to spend as much time with her as possible."

"What about me?" Carmen questions, skipping into the room wearing Zach's clothes.

"First of all, Caramel, how are you even functioning properly without coffee?" Aurora raises an eyebrow. "Why are you up so early?"

"I'm surprisingly a morning person," Carmen replies softly, sitting next to Zach with a smile.

"That's stupid," Aurora comments, already debating over whether or not to get a second cup of coffee. "Don't you need some coffee to keep you awake?"

"I'm a princess," Aurora states, marching into the room while flaunting her new Disney dress. "Bow down, peasants."

Daniel bows down dramatically with a grin, before plopping down onto a chair. Carmen follows closely behind her, having been the one to help her get it on, small giggles escaping her lips as the girl prances. Callie's eyes widen at the sight of Aurora's small Cinderella dress.

"I thought you were joking," she murmurs.

"Nope," Carmen confirms. "We were completely serious."

Aurora gasps, turning around to face Jonah.

"We were," she pauses, winking. "Dead Sirius."
