Teddy PoV

I woke up to Jack being basically on top of me, a feeling of warmth spreading throughout my chest, which felt nice, I then checked the clock, and it was quarter to 6 in the morning, so I decided to get up, because I couldn't sleep anymore, so there wasn't any point in staying in bed when I wasn't going to sleep.

I made myself my first cup of coffee of the morning, because it was my routine and shit, after my coffee was made I sat on the windowsill and I started to drink my coffee, and then like 10 minutes later Soph walked in and sat herself next to me.

"Hey Uncle Teddy"
"Hey Sweetheart"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes Sweetheart, you can ask me anything"
"Is Daddy ok?"
"He will be ok Soph"
"Does that mean he's not ok now?"
"No, he's asleep right now Sweetheart, but he was a little upset last night"
"Why was Daddy upset?"
"(Sighs), well his parents weren't very nice to us last night, because they didn't like me"
"But why don't they like you though Uncle Teddy?, you make Daddy happy and surely if they really love him then that's all that matters"
"You're right Sweetie, it should be all that matters but it's a little bit more complicated than that when it comes to them Darling"
"But I like you Uncle Teddy, because you make Daddy happy, and that's all that matters to me"
"(Laughs), thank you Sweetheart, well, at least I got the most important person to your Dad's life to like me"
"Who's that Uncle Teddy?"
"That's you Darling"
"Oh, I knew that, I was just checking to see if you knew that Uncle Teddy"
"Ok Sweetheart"

Soph then turned on the telly to watch some cartoons, though I don't think that she was entirely concentrating on what was going on in the cartoons, 'cause she's not naturally a morning person and it was barely 6 O'clock in the morning.

I then made myself another cup of coffee, because the original one went cold on me, which ain't any good if you want a decent cup of fucking coffee.

"Uncle Teddy"
"Yes Soph"
"Why do you drink a lot of coffee?"
"Well, to be completely honest with you Sweetheart, I drink a lot of coffee during the day to keep myself awake"
"But isn't drinking too much coffee bad for you Uncle Teddy?"
"Yes Soph, you're right, drinking a lot of coffee is bad for you"
"Hmm, is it like Daddy's smoking?"
"Yeah, it is like your Daddy's smoking, just don't tell him that I said that Sweetheart, ok"
"Ok Uncle Teddy"

We sat in silence for a minute or so and watched some old Looney tunes cartoons from like the 40's.

"Are you hungry Sweetheart?"
"What are you making Uncle Teddy?"
"I don't know Soph Darling, is there anything you want to eat for breakfast?"
"Can I have some pancakes please Uncle Teddy?"
"Sure Sweetheart, since you asked me so nicely"

So I then went and made Soph some pancakes, 'cause you know, I was asked, that and it gave me something to do that wouldn't wake everyone up, ya know.

"Here you go Sweetheart"
"Thank you Uncle Teddy"
"You're welcome Sweetie"

It was quiet for a little bit, other than the cartoons that were playing on the Tv, then Georgie walked into the sitting room, looking like a zombie came back from the dead.

"Morning Georgie"
"Morning Soph, Teddy do you know what the time is?"
"Yeah it's about half past 6 in the morning Georgie"
"Why am I up so early?"
"I can't answer that for Georgie since you're the one that got yourself up out of bed?"
"(Snorts), she's not wrong there kiddo"
"So what are we watching?"
"We're watching Looney Tunes"

Ro then walked into the sitting room and sat beside me, as I guess that I was great company or something like that.

"Morning Daddy"
"Morning Sweetheart, did you sleep ok last night?"
"Yes I did"
"That's good to hear"
"Why is Uncle Georgie already up?"
"I can't answer that question for you Darling as I'm not Uncle Georgie, why don't you ask Uncle Georgie that question"
"I will do that Daddy, Uncle Georgie"
"Yes Ro"
"Why are you already up?"
"I asked your Da that question already Ro-"
"You don't know, do you?"
"Why am I being sassed by two 7 year olds?"
"Because it's easy to sass you Georgie"
"Thanks Soph"
"You're welcome Georgie"

I just wanted to start laughing my head off at the banter they all had, but I knew that Georgie would've thought that I was laughing at him, which I wouldn't have been, but you know how younger brothers can be sometimes.
