Ring! Rory lifted her hand and turned off the alarm. It read 7:05, but she ignored it and went back to sleep. Just then, her 4 year old son came running into the room and jumped on the bed, pulling at his mother's and father's hands.
"Mommy! Daddy! I gotta go to school!" Jess lifted his head and looked at the clock.
"Rory! Get up! We're late!"
"Oh my God!" She jumped up from the bed and began racing around the room searching for clothes.
"I can't believe this. Jess? What the hell is wrong with you?! Why didn't you wake me up? Now the teachers at that stupid school we're paying the cost of a war for every month are going to see 'Spencer Mariano, son of Rory and Jess Mariano' and they're going to be all "Wait, isn't she the Editor of the New York Times, and he's that best selling author? Why is there kid such a failure that he is late on the first day of Pre-School?"
Jess was now sitting on the bed, Spencer in his lap, staring at Rory openmouthed, astonished by her sudden lunatic behavior.
"Go get dressed." He told his son, who scurried out of the room. Jess got up of the bed and walked over to Rory, who buried her head in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her.
"I've done everything wrong Jess. He's going to be late to his first day of Pre-School, flunk out of high school, and work at McDonalds and all because I woke up late on his first school day ever."
"Hey, if I turned out okay, anyone can." She laughed a little.
"Besides, what more could a teacher ask for? He knows his ABC's, can count to a 100, knows shapes, colors, and we taught him how to read. He hasn't stopped since. Rory, he's read the entire Dr. Seuss collection, and can tell you the words to almost any Clash song."
"I don't think they will require him to know the words to Clash."
Thirty Five minutes later, they had reached the school. Jess carried Spencer, in his little navy pants and light blue shirt to the door of the classroom.
"Daddy I don't wanna go."
"You have to go. It'll be fun. I promise…" Rory snickered from behind him, and he looked at her knowingly. School was never his thing.
"They're going to teach you math, and science… and you're going to read lots of books."
"Bye Daddy." He said, and he hugged Jess, who ruffled his hair and set him down, as Rory knelt to face him.
"Be good. Make lots of friends okay? I'll be here to pick you up at the end of the day. I love you…" He smiled and walked to the door of the classroom. He opened it and looked back at his parents, waving to them, then entered and closed the door. Rory leaned into Jess in a sideways hug, and they began to walk back to their car.
"Aw Jess, why did he have to go already? He's so small. He's not ready for school."
"That's the point. We want him to actually like school."
"How about if he never likes it?"
"Then, he'll become a writer, meet a beautiful girl who does love school, marry her, and live happily ever after."
"What a line…"
"Hey, you didn't mind that I wasn't a school type."
"There were other things I liked about you more."
"Huh. Like what?"
"Oh no. I'm not getting into this conversation again."
"But I think you may have to, seeing as I'm driving, and have the power to go around in circles until you talk."
"Drive in all the circles you want. That was one of the things I liked."
"How about this?" He said, and he kissed her, as they reached the car.
"Yeah, that too."
