Antonia's POV
I walk down to the kitchen and see my mom getting ready for work.
"Mom, it's so early. Why are you going to work at 6 a.m. Instead of 8 a.m." I ask her.
"Just making more hours. I'll be back home around 4 to make dinner and then I'll be able to rest for the day" she kisses the top of my head and rushes out the door.
It's Saturday, and I don't know why I'm up this early for.
"Antonia, I'm thirsty" Annette says as she walks in the kitchen rubbing her eyes.
I get a glass cup and fill it up with water for her to drink.
"Go back to bed. It's still too early" I tell her as I wash the cup she drank out of.
I'll cook breakfast for everyone since I'm up.

"What smells so good" my father says as he enters the kitchen.
I flip the last chocolate chip pancake and set it on the plate.
"Making my famous chocolate chip pancakes" I smile widely.
"Oooo, I want two pancakes please" Anthony pops up from behind my dad.
We all sit down at the dinning room table and eat my chocolate chip pancakes with eggs and slices of strawberries.
"Dad, you didn't eat you strawberries" Annette points at his food.
"Dad, you have to eat your fruit. It's good for you" Anthony adds.
I just give my dad a look to tell him to eat a piece. I still want him here for many more years.
"You kids are always keeping me in check" he lightly chuckles before eating his fruit.

Unknown: Hey, it's Grayson. I was wondering if you and your siblings want to come over today, and I'll take you guys to the park down the road
Me: Sure, what time?
Grayson: In thirty minutes
I lock my phone and place it in my back pocket.
"Kids, get ready! I'm taking you guys to the Dolan household to go to the park with Grayson" I yell from the bottom of the stairs.
I hear shuffling from above me and soon see the two running down the stairs.
"What have we told you two about running down the stairs" I tell them sternly.
"Sorry, we're just excited to see Grayson" they both say together.
They really do like him.
"Dad, we'll be home later, so you'll be home alone for a while. Make sure to take your medication" I tell him as I hug him goodbye.
