This story was inspired by another similar story. And I really wanted to give it a shot. [Keep in mind I am homeschooled I do not know how school schedules and stuff work, so if I messed up something, I apologize.] Enjoy!
The light of the early morning sun glared through the window, shining directly into Jack's eyes. With a subconscious grunt, he rolled over to face the other direction.
"Good morning." He heard his wife, Angela, say tiredly, staring directly in his sleepy eyes.
"Morning." He said with a yawn, pulling himself closer to her. God, he could never get over how beautiful she was.
"Well, I have work. And you have to get the kids ready for the first day of school."
'Damn it, I forgot to set the alarm.'
"You forgot to set the alarm, didn't you?" A small smile plastered on Angela's face. Guilty as charged, Jack pulled the sheets off his body and climbed out of bed.
"But," He paused as he stood in front of her. Cupping her cheek in and leaned in to press his lips onto hers. It's nothing much just a short and sweet kiss to start off their day. Breaking away from the kiss, Angela climbed out of bed, and grabbing her clothes, then heading into the bathroom, while Jack puts on his clothes before making breakfast for the kids.
Now the first thing is, they aren't biologically their kids. Early on in their marriage they figured out that Angela's inability to conceive children. So, they turned to adoption.
They were adopted at the same time. Lúcio was the oldest, he had been only 7 at the time, he had adjusted very easily in his new home. Kind spirited and encouraging as the years past. Helping out his parents around the house without even having to be told most of the time. Mei is the second oldest, she was 6, being very shy around people, making it extremely hard to socialize. Jack and Angela were able to get her to come out of her shell.
Now Lena, being second to last, was 5, she is hyper and outgoing. She was the first one to zipped and zoomed around the house when they brought them home. She was quite the daredevil, always trying out new things no matter what, even if it involved dangerous activities.
And finally Hana the youngest and at the age of 3. Her most noticeable trait was her love for video games. Sure, all the kids liked to play videos games, but she loved them. Making her a bit antisocial, mostly because she focused more on video games then real socializing. Last summer they were lucky to get her to participate in some family activities. She acted kind of like a diva.
To Jack's surprise they were already up and eating breakfast. "Morning!" Lena greeted, her mouth stuffed with pancakes. He was surprised he could even manage to understand what she even said.
"No talking with your mouth full, you'll choke." Jack corrected but lightened up his tone. "But, good morning to you too."
"Morning," Lúcio and Hana said.
Now they were all grown up, Lúcio at the age of 16, Mei is now 15, Lena 14 and starting her first day of high school. And Hana now 12.
"Made you some breakfast." Lúcio said, pointing to the plate on the table. "Thank you, Lúcio." Jack sat down at the table digging into the delicious plate of blueberry pancakes. Suddenly, he something brush up against him, how could he forget?!
"Bastion! I'm so sorry I forgot to-" Jack started to rise from his seat, until he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Already fed the dog." Mei gave him a small smile, taking a seat next to him. Bastion was a white and grey pitbull. They have had for almost two years now.
Angela came out into the dining room, sitting down to join them. "Mmm," she hummed, "Those smell delicious."
"Get them while they're hot!" Lúcio cheerfully said, placing the last of the pancakes on the table, and joined them in eating. Grabbing the fruit basket and helping himself.
As they were all finishing up their breakfast, Angela's watch started beeping signaling she had to leave. "Oh, that's my cue!" Angela said cheerfully, "Have a fun day at school kids!" Going around the table giving all of them kisses on the head, and a quick kiss on the lips to her husband, before heading off to the hospital.
"All lunches packed? You have everything you need?" Jack double checked before sending them off.
"Yes sir." The practically said at the same time.
"Please show Lena around school. I don't want her to get lost." Jack told them. "Yes sir." Lúcio and Mei repeated, rolling their eyes this time.
"Go have fun." Jack finally said before sending them off.
Now what was he supposed to do? Being a stay at home Dad without any kids at home. How was he going to pass the time?
"Oh my God! This place is HUGE!" Lena yelled, earning a few stares from the other students.
"Hey, Dad told you not to get lost," Lúcio grabbed her by the shoulders before she ran into someone. "Just chill, okay?"
Lena sucked in a deep breath, and let it out. "Okay…" She pouted slightly before Lúcio let her go once he knew she wasn't going to fly around everywhere.
"Do you remember what your teachers name is?" Mei asked.
"Oh! Yeah! Ummm…. Mr...Winston? Any idea who he is?"
"Yeah, Mr. Winston, he's a cool guy, very funny too." Lúcio said.
"Great! I'm just glad he's not a grumpy teacher-"
Suddenly, an electric bell rang throughout the halls, signaling all students needed to get to their classroom.
"Do you need me to show you where Mr. Winston's class is or you want me to show you?"
"Yeah, I think that would be best, I'll probably remember better."
"Bye guys." Mei waved off, leaving the pair to go to her classes.
"Common, lemme show you where it is." Lúcio started to walk ahead of her. Lena quickly followed behind, not wanting to be late on her first day.
Time passed by very fast, since it had been the first day, most of the class time was spent basically going over the subject and what they would be doing most of the year.
Eventually 3:30 rolled around, and the bell rang out.
The three siblings met up outside of the front doors of the high school.
"Wheres is he?" Lena impatiently said, not because she was mad or anything. She was just excited to tell Jack and Angela about her day.
"Lúcio! Mei! Lena!" The siblings heard a familiar voice of their friend Fareeha Amari, better known as Pharah, the nickname given by her friends.
"I was late for school, so I missed you guys on the way in." Pharah ran up and greeted them tight squeezes.
"Pharah!" Lena squealed, jumping up in down.
Pharah has been close friends with the Morrisons for a while now, especially Lena. Being introduced to them two weeks after they were adopted. Her mother, Ana, is a very close friend to the parents. She is 16, just a couple months older than Mei. And has a very fit body compared to most of the girls her age.
"I missed you soooo much!" Lena says as she hugs Pharah even tighter.
"We just saw each other a week ago." Pharah says, managing to wiggle out of her grip.
They were all caught up with talking about their schedules, they didn't even notice Jack pull up in the car.
"Psst, kids." Jack called out as he was leaning over in the seat.
"Oh, sorry Pharah we gotta go." Lúcio said, before grabbing his bag off the sidewalk and tossing it over his shoulder.
"Awwwh!" Lena whined, giving Fareeha another tight hug.
"I'll see you guys later." Pharah wiggle out of her grip once again.
"Bye." Mei shyly said, making her way over towards the car.
All three siblings climbed into the car, and buckled in. Seeing that Jack had already picked up Hana first, she was already in the car. Giving Pharah one last wave before driving off.
"So how was the first day of school?" Jack asked, glancing in the rear view mirror.
"It was amazing!" Lena exclaimed, the other three saying something along those lines, just not so loud and energetic.
"That's good to hear. So, how does Mac and Cheese sound tonight?"
All the kids happily agreed.
