Lucas woke up first, like always. He's always been a morning person and that didn't change when he settled down with Maya. He turned and looked over at his wife who was lying next to her. She had the comforter wrapped all around her and had a light smile on her face. Lucas looked at his beautiful wife for at least a minute before trying to wake her up.

"Maya," he whispered, leaning over and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Maya, time to wake up gorgeous."

"Go back to bed Huckleberry, it's too early," Maya muttered, turning to face away from Lucas. Maya was not a morning person and would sleep till noon if it was possible.

"C'mon Maya, we gotta get up and start breakfast before we wake up the girls," Lucas said, sitting up and shaking Maya's shoulders. Maya groaned before turning and facing him.

"Alright, fine, I'm up," Maya said, sitting up and putting her head on Lucas' shoulder.

"Good morning," Lucas said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, it'll be a good morning when I get my coffee," Maya said, pushing the comforter off and standing up, Lucas following suit. The two walked downstairs to the kitchen and Maya walked right to her coffee machine. She brewed herself a cup of dark roast with some honey and took a sip and smiled. "Much better."

"What should we do for breakfast?" Lucas asked, looking around the fridge.

"You know, I can handle breakfast this morning," Maya said, setting her mug down and wrapping her arms around Lucas and putting her head right by his heart. "If you wake up the girls."

"Oh no, I know what you're doing," Lucas said, pulling away slightly, "You're trying to be all loving and cute so that you distract me and convince me to wake up the two sleeping beauties upstairs. Nope, not gonna work. They get there laziness from you, you wake them up."

Maya snuggled closer to Lucas and put her on puppy dog face. "Please Huckleberry," she said, looking up at Lucas with big eyes.

"Ugh, fine," Lucas said, knowing it was easier to quit now than later. Maya smiled and gave him a kiss.

"Thank you," Maya said, a winning smile on her face.

"Yeah yeah, but you're doing it tomorrow," Lucas said before heading upstairs to face the most difficult task of the morning. He walked down the hall and opened the door that lead to Brooklyn's room. Brooklyn's room was painted sky blue and had light brown curtains on her window that overlooked the streets of New York. Her desk sat in front of the windows and was neatly organized with her school supplies and her laptop closed at the center. Her bookshelf stood next to it and was full of books about horses, animals, and far away places. On the top shelf were her riding trophies. Brooklyn had been riding since she was five and she loved it. If it were up to her, she would live on the ranch where her beloved horse Caramel lived. Her walls were full of photos of her friends and family along with a few posters of her favorite musical artists, like Luke Bryan, Hunter Hayes, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, and One Direction. Her bean bag chairs were up against the wall with some throw pillows on them.

Lucas walked over to Brooklyn's bed and crouched down next to, level with Brooklyn's sleeping form. "Brooke," Lucas said, shaking the girl's shoulders, "Time to get up." Brooklyn shook her father's hand off her shoulder and turned over, her back now to her father.

"Brooke, you gotta get up and get ready for school," Lucas said, standing up and sitting on the edge of her bed. Brooklyn groaned and put her pillow over her head. Lucas reached over and grabbed it.

"Daddy, please let me sleep," Brooklyn muttered, her eyes still closed.

"Nope, you've already slept. Time to start the day," Lucas said, shaking her shoulder's again until Brooklyn finally opened her eyes. Brooklyn was a good mix of her parents. She had her father's light brown hair, but she had her mother's blue eyes. She was taller than her twin at 5'6'' and had her mother's skin tone.

"Alright, I'm up," Brooklyn said, grabbing her phone from its spot on the nightstand.

"Be down for breakfast in twenty," Lucas said, giving his daughter a kiss on the forehead and walking out of the room. He stepped into Taylor's room that was across the room. Taylor's room was painted a dark purple and had black and white patterned curtains. Her desk was facing the windows, but it wasn't used for school work like Brooklyn's. Her's was full of sewing materials and sketch books full of designs that were rarely seen by anyone other than Taylor. A sewing machine was below the desk and besides it was a full length mirror and a garment rack. Taylor aspired to be a fashion designer one day and loved sketching designs in her free time. Her bookshelf wasn't as full as Brooklyn's and was mostly full of knick-nacks and her cheer trophies. She pom poms were strewn on the floor in front of her bed. Taylor had been cheering since the age of five and was on the varsity team for the high school. Her walls were full of fashion photography and posters of her favorite artists, like Halsey, Lorde, Lana del Rey, Ariana Grande, and Nick Jonas. She had one comfy chair on the other side of her room with some clothes on it.

Lucas walked over to Taylor's bed and sighed. Taylor was the hardest to wake up. She could sleep through a hurricane if she wanted to. Lucas sat on the edge of the bed and shook his daughter's shoulder.

"Taylor, wake up," he said, gaining no reaction from the girl. "Taylor, time to get up."

"Taylor, you gotta get up," Lucas said, pulling Taylor's covers away. Nothing. Lucas groaned and stood up. He walked over to the window and pulled back on her curtains, letting the sunlight light up the room. Taylor didn't budge.

"Taylor, wake up now and I will pour a bucket of water on you," Lucas said, shaking the girl again. Taylor didn't even flinch. Lucas stood up and grabbed Taylor's phone, opened up her music and turned on Whispers in the Dark by Skillet. He placed the phone by her ear and when the bass dropped, Taylor sat up in a flash.

"You gave me a heart attack," Taylor said, holding her hand over her heart. Taylor looked mostly like her father. She had originally had his light brown hair but she had darkened it a few years ago so that people would stop mistaking her for Brooklyn. She had her father's green eyes and his skin tone. She was short like her mother

"Hey I tried to wake you another way but you didn't budge," Lucas said with a smile while Taylor just shook her head at him. Lucas leaned down and gave his daughter a kiss on the forehead. "Be down for breakfast in twenty."

Twenty minutes later, Brooklyn walked down stairs into the kitchen. She was wearing a blue floral dress with a light washed cropped jean jacket with light brown ankle booties. Her hair was in a french braid and she had on some light makeup.

"Morning Brooke," Maya greeted, placing the last chocolate chip pancake on the plate. Maya grabbed the pancake plate and placed in on the table with the others plates of breakfast food. Lucas had grown up with big breakfasts every morning and the tradition carried on now.

"Morning mom," Brooklyn greeted, walking to the fridge and grabbing the apple juice. She poured herself a glass and sat down at the table.

"Is your sister almost ready?" Lucas asked just as Taylor walked down the stairs into the kitchen.

"I'm ready dad," Taylor said. She was wearing a black long sleeved crop top and a red and black tartan skirt. She had on her black heeled booties and her hair was in a half up half down style with a black bow. She walked over to the fridge and poured herself a glass of chocolate milk.

"Alright, I made chocolate chip pancakes. Eat up," Maya said, sitting down at the table with her family. Both girls grabbed a pancake and some of the fruit.

"Thanks mom," the two said in unison.

"Hey, what about me. I helped. I made the fruit cups," Lucas said. The girls looked at each other before looking at their father.

"Wow, you made the fruit cups," Brooklyn said.

"Which must have been so hard," Taylor continued.

"Cutting up all that fruit," Brooklyn added.

"Mixing them together in one big bowl," Taylor said.

"You deserve a medal," the two finished in unison.

"You get that from your mother," Lucas said, shaking his head but smiling.

"Yeah they do," Maya said, giving her daughters a high five. Both girls had traits from each of their parents. They both had their mother's wit and loyalty. They both had their father's love for animals, more so Brooklyn than Taylor, and his protective nature. Brooklyn is very caring and tries hard in school. She can be a little shy at times and doesn't always put herself out there. She can be girly but doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Taylor is kind to those she likes and she could care less about school. She can be very defensive like her mother and doesn't always say what she's thinking. She cares deeply for those close to her and doesn't let anyone get away with hurting her friends or her sister.

"Mom, you're taking me to riding tonight, right?" Brooklyn asked.

"Yup, so Ranger Rick, your picking up Taylor after cheer," Maya replied.

"And taking me to the fabric store," Taylor added.

"Alright, but we gotta go now if you two don't want to be late for school," Lucas said, looking at his watch. The two girls grabbed their plates and put them in the sink.

"Have a good day at school girls," Maya said, giving her daughters a hug.

"Bye mom," the two replied before grabbing their bags and heading out the door with their dad.
