Reminiscence

Chapter 3

Taissa's Pov- Mornings around the Peters house was busy even on the simplest of days. It usually started with me getting up first. I let Evan sleep in and I would bound into the kitchen and start fixing breakfast and then go wake the kids up, but today I feel a hand come to rest on my shoulder.

"Tai, Sleep in I got this." Evan says he throws his legs over the bed and goes to leave the bedroom. "Nice butt hubby." I say smirking. "Same to you too, Wifey" Evan says smirking walking out. I go back to sleep within a few minutes soaking in the bliss.

Evan's Pov- The kids were still asleep when I went upstairs first going to liam's room. I knock before entering and when I finally do open it I find liam completely covered under his covers (all the way up to his head) sleeping. "Liam, come on get up time for school." He sits up and rubs his eyes when I turn on the light. "Come on dad just 5 more mintues, wait? What are you doing in here isn't mom usually-." "I am taking her role today now get up I am fixing breakfast."

I walk out and go across the hall to Avril's room. I knock and I walk in and there she lays peacefully resting she almost has taking to trait after her mother with crease between her brows when she sleeps. I smile at the thought and go to wake her. "Avril time to wake up." She sits up and stretches. "Hi dad." she says. She gets out and walks over to her closet and starts fishing for an outfit. I walk out and leave her to it.

Then I go into Mallory's room. I knock and then open up. "Mallory, time to wake up" I walk over to her. Mallory bolts her eyes open. "Daddy!" she immediately gets out and wraps her little arms around me. "Hey pumpkin." I say pulling her into a hug. "Daddy, where's mommy?" "Sleeping" I reply.

She nods her head and waits on me to pick her outfit out for the day. I then leave her room to start breakfast. I make eggs, Pancakes, Toast, grits, bacon. Mallory was down first she handed me four beaded hair ties and her brush and asked me to give her to braided pigtails which I did.

She then took her brush back upstairs to only come back down for breakfast. I set up her plate and two glasses with one as juice and one milk. Mallory sits at the kitchen Island and begins to eat. I look back at the clock before speaking up.

"You have 30 mintues before we have to leave so take your time." She nods and takes a bite of toast. Liam comes down next with his bag slouched over his shoulder before he drops it on the ground. I fix his plate and his two glasses of drink and he takes a seat beside Mallory.

Avril comes down last and sets her bag down as if it might break and takes a seat next to liam. I fix her plates with her glasses of juice and milk and give them to her. I walk back off to the bedroom and grab my wallet, sunglasses, and keys. "Bye babe, I will be back in a bit. I love you." Taissa rolls over and sits up and pulls me into a kiss. "Be safe tell the kids I love them and I hope they have a great day. Oh by the way I love you more." And with that and another kiss she sends me off.

I walk out and see the kids have put their dishes in the sink. "You kids ready?" They nod their heads and shuffle out behind me. "Whoever is last lock the door on your way out." I say. We get in the car and start off to school. "So any afterschool plans today?" I ask them. They all shake their heads and make conversation with one another.

We pull into the elementary school first and I wait in line. Finally its our turn. "Bye Dad." Avril gives me a kiss on the cheek and steps out and waits for Mallory. Mallory leans over and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Bye Daddy." "Bye girls Mommy and Daddy love you have a great day." Mallory shuts the car door. Avril takes Mallory's hand and walks her to class. I drive off and head toward the middle school. Liam looks out the window.

We arrive and liam fist bumps me. "Bye Dad love ya." "Bye liam love you too have a great day." He shuts the door and waves. I wave back and drive off.

Once I get home I crawl back into bed and Taissa immediately snuggles into me as I pull her close she lays her head on my chest. "How was today?" "Good, you really deserve some kind of medal you really are a badass mom." She looks up at me before speaking. "And you make a badass dad."
