Damon's P.O.V.

The alarm went off as I sighed,

"C'mon guys. We gotta get up.", I said softly. All three kids- four including Asher- whined.

"Ten more minutes.", Rosa bargained, laying on my chest.

"Please.", the other two begged.

"Ten more minutes but you'll get spanked before school.", I said, smirking a little. Harley sat up,

"I'm going to get dressed."

"Thank you love.", I said as she left. The other two stayed put. "Rosa? Rowan?" They both shrugged,

"I'm exhausted.", Rowan muttered. Rosa nodded,

"Same."

"Okay. Ten more minutes."

I sighed slightly,

"Rosa, Rowan, living room.", I said as they put their bowls in the sink from breakfast. They both froze,

"You were serious?", Rowan asked.

"Yes. I asked you to get up, you chose not to. I gave you the clear option Rowan." He sighed but followed Rosa to the living room. Harley watched as I followed them but stopped at the door, "Make sure you have all your work done and into your bag. Okay kid?" She nodded,

"Got it."

"Thanks baby." I went to the living room, where Rosa and Rowan sat on the couch nervously. "Rosa, c'mere." She slowly did so as I sat on the other end of the couch and gently pulled her over my lap,

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack.

I helped her up,

"Go sit. Rowan, c'mere.", I said softly. He hesitated but when I sent him a stern look, he shuffled over. I pulled him over my lap,

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, smack, SMACK, SMACK.

"Okay, all done.", I said helping him up. I pulled them both to my chest tightly, "We gotta get to school, okay?" They nodded as I kissed both their heads, "I love you guys."

"We love you too.", they chimed.

Rosa shuffled around nervously in the car. Rowan and Harley went to school across town since Rowan drove and they didn't want to deal with everything that came with your brother being a teacher.

"Are you okay?", I asked softly. She nodded,

"Y-Yeah."

"You're sure? You don't seem okay."

"I-I'm sorry we made you mad.", she whispered.

"You didn't. I'm not mad."

"You were."

"No I wasn't babe. I wasn't even upset. I gave you guys the choice, you chose to sleep more. That's fine. It doesn't matter to me, I don't have to sit through class with a sore ass all day."

"We were just really tired."

"I know. None of you slept great last night. But we can't ditch because we're tired."

"I know."

"You can nap when we get home. Just try and get through the day, alright?" She nodded,

"Yeah."

Rowan's P.O.V.

"We have to call your brother."
