Chapter 1
The alarm clock started beeping as the numbers displayed 4:30. Matt Albie lazily stretched is arm and slammed the snooze button. It was a bad habit but the alarm was always set 10 minutes before they actually had to wake up.
Ten minutes later the alarm went off again. Matt let out a groan at the stupid machine. He had barely gotten 4 hours of the sleep. "Har… Harrie. You have to wake up" He said looking over to his wife of 5 years.
They had gotten back together during the summer of '07. After a few months, February 14th to be exact, he proposed. And the next summer the wedding between Matthew Albie and Harriet Hayes finally happened. Just a mere 2 months after the wedding Harriet got pregnant and they welcomed Scarlet Amanda Rose Albie into the world.
"What time is it?" Harriet mumbled half asleep. "It's 4:40, you have to be on set in less then an hour" Matt told her "I don't want to wake up" She said burying her face under a pillow. "I know you don't but you have to. Tell ya what, I'll make you coffee while your in the shower" Matt said pulling the pillow off her face and kissing her. "I'd rather you join me in the shower" She said kissing him back. "Yeah me too but if I would then you'd never get to work on time" Matt said as they both got out bed "Your right, the coffee will have to do then" Harriet said walking into the bathroom leaving the door unlocked just incase.
Twenty minutes later Harriet got out of the shower to find Matt sitting on the counter of the bathroom with a steaming cup of coffee. "Have I ever told you what a good husband you are?" Harriet asked taking a sip from the cup. "Yes but I love when you repeat it" Matt told her following her out of the bathroom.
"Hey, are you going to work at the studio today?" Harriet asked while getting dressed "No, I thought I'd spend the day with Scar and try to work from here. But I might go for few hours and take her along. I know Jeannie would love to see her" Harriet smiled, Matt had really taken the role of father seriously as soon that he found out she was pregnant. And for that reason she couldn't wait to bring other little Albie's into the world. "Well, I'm meeting Jordan for lunch at the NBS dining room after I'm done doing my scenes. I could swing by the studio to get Scarlet afterwards" She said brushing her hair and slipping a sweater on "Sounds good" Matt said watching her every move. "I have to go, I'll call you later. Love you" Harriet said giving him a quick kiss. But before she could leave Matt grabbed her arm and kissed her passionately "Have a good day at work, I love you too"
Just like that, the Albie morning routine was over as Harriet ran out the door and Matt crashed back into bed for a few more short hours of shut eye.
