New family - [filliefanfic]

Normal.

~Finn's POV.~

I woke up next to Millie with her back facing me. I just wanted to pull her closer to me and just hold her. Then Lea's words popped into my head.

"don't rush things, take it slow and let it play out."

So that's what I did, life. I sighed and fell back down into the bed. My thoughts were broken by shuffling next to me. I saw Millie sit up and rub her eyes. She wasn't wearing a bra under her night dress and it was really short so I could see her legs all the way up until mid thigh. I snapped out of my thoughts because of a sharp pain on my ear. Millie laughed at me, she pinched me. I watched her get up.

Millie: Hi.
'Hi.'
Millie: I'm gonna go check on the kids then make breakfast .
'Uh-huh.'
Millie: Get up, you're going to help me dumb-dumb.

She grabbed both my hands and pulled me out of bed. She lead me to Ian's room while I mumbled nagging like a toddler. I heard her shush me as we stepped inside. We saw them asleep stretched out on their backs like they were paused making snow angels. I felt Millie let go of my hand and watched her take a picture. I chuckled as their soft snores became louder for a second before dying down again. We left and went downstairs.

'Why'd you take a picture?'
Millie: Are you joking? They are just too adorable, I had to take a picture of them.

She jumped on the table and began looking for something. I leaned against the table on my elbows. She put the coffee machine on then moved behind me. I felt her playing with my hair and I groaned slightly. I took a step away from her and turned to face her.

Millie: I think I'm gonna print it.
'What?'
Millie: The picture.
'Oh, why?. Are you gonna use it as your Christmas card?'
Millie: I don't know, maybe. You'll see when I send you a gift, if I still like you around Christmas.

She chuckled and her dimples showed perfectly and her eyes sparkled. She hopped off the counter and took out a pan.

Millie: The coffee is done, can you get two cups, top shelf, first cupboard.

I gave her a nod and reached for it. I handed it to her and she mumbled a thank you.

'Why do you keep your cups that high up when you're tiny?'
Millie: Well I never drink tea or coffee unless I have guests, so they'd usually get it for me. And I believe that someday I'll grow.

I took the coffee from her and laughed with a small snicker in it. She hit my shoulder and pinched me again.

'That's nice, you have dreams.'
Millie: Just shut up and help me. What do you want?
'What do you have?'

She opened the refrigerator and I saw a bunch of Eggo boxes. I focused on that and nothing else. She rolled her eyes and took out two eggo boxes.

'Are you an Eggo freak?'
Millie: No, Ian likes it, I think it tastes horrible.
'I like Eggos, Lea does to, but raw.'
Millie: Exactly, Ian eats it out of the box.
'Guess, we're having an Eggo feast for breakfast.'
Millie: Yeah.

••••••••

Millie and I made a desert type of breakfast for the kids. Eggo's with whipped cream and berries. For ourselves we just kept it simple, toasted eggo's with syrup and plain vanilla ice cream. Millie went to call them so I watched TV until they came back. Lea was on her hip and Ian was pulling her downstairs. I smiled at them being adorable. I'm glad Lea and Millie get along because I might be falling.

Lea: Morning daddy.
'Hey. You sleep okay?'
Lea: Yip. Millie is my new favorite parent now.
'I see so, lucky for me because Ian is my new favorite child.'
