"Daddy! Daddy wakey! C'mon it's morning out there and I wanna play!" Little Dhani Harrison cooed, jumping onto his parents' bed.

Opening his eyes, George awed as his pride and joy giggled at him. "You are awake! Why aren't you getting up then?"

"Well Daddy needs his sleep too, aren't you tired? It's still really early outside."

"But the sun is up, still rising but up but it's daytime. That means it's time for breakfast! Can I have chocolate chip pancakes?"

He knew he could never say no to his precious baby boy. Especially when he happens to be a splitting image of his old man.

"You and I share the same taste in food, c'mon, we can also make strawberry ones for Mummy." George smiled, motioning to Olivia, still sound asleep.

"Aw, don't you always get up after her?"

"Well let's just say she was up all night for something very special. I'll show you it after breakfast, c'mon little man. You want milk or juice with your pancakes?"

The two sat at the breakfast table, munching away at their food. Dhani had his little mug of milk while George opted for tea. He noticed how Dhani kept mimicking his every move, such as picking up his mug or taking bites out of his pancake.

"Look at ya, you trying to be exactly like me?"

Dhani just repeated every word, making his dad chuckle and ruffle his hair. "You keep this up and no one would be able to tell us apart."

"Well you said I look more like you than you look like you, whatever that means."

"C'mere you." Pulling Dhani into a bear hug, George kissed his forehead. "Ah, I think your mother is coming down now too, you want to see her surprise?"

"One sec Daddy!" Rushing upstairs, Dhani made a stop to the laundry room, picking out George's old Sgt Pepper uniform. "It's too small for him now, but maybe I can fit in it."

"George? Are you in there?"

Giggling at his plan, Dhani rushed in front of Olivia. "Look at me! I shrunk in the wash!" He giggled.

"Oh my! How on earth did this happen?" She fake gasped, picking him up. "We need to get you back to your usual height!"

Hearing the commotion upstairs, George snuck up and hugged them from behind. "I'm right here Livie! Looks like little Dhani really wants to be me today. I wonder why, since it's his very special day."

"It is?"

"Why of course! You didn't forget your own birthday now did you? You're five years old now." George chuckled.

Leading him downstairs, Dhani found a large chocolate cake now on the table with "Happy Birthday" written in whipped cream. "Make a wish Dhani."

"Aw I don't need to, I was going to wish to be just like you, but I am!"

"Aw, maybe if you start your own band when you're older."
