"Mum, what's the biggest dinosaur?" An 8 year old boy with Brown hair and brown eyes who answers to the name of Lachlan asked. "Um, I think it's the Brachiosaurus, something like that" Daria, Lachlan's mother, replied. "Ok" Daria was writing down the things that her 8 year old son Lachlan and 5 year old Daughter Emily needed for the new year of school.
Emily, a young girl with wavy brown hair that had ringlets at the end and Blue eyes, was drawing at the dinner table. "Mummy, look at what I made you" She slid off of the chair and ran over to her mother. Emily handed her mum the picture.
"It's beautiful Emily, Thank you" Daria got up and stuck on the fridge with a magnet. It was a picture of Daria, Lachlan and Emily. It also said 'My Family, the best family in the world'. Even though Emily was only 5 years old, she tried her best at spelling.
Neither Lachlan nor Emily knew who their father was or what he was like. But of course, Daria knew.
The children started school again next week and Daria hadn't gotten anything done.
A few minutes before dinner, Lachlan and Emily were spending some quality time together. "What do you think Daddy would be like if we ever met him" Emily asked her big brother. "I'd imagine him to be tough, strong, Fun to be around, definitely brave" Lachlan answered.
Daria had been eavesdropping and said to herself "He's much more than that".
For about a minute she had forgotten that she had pasta cooking on the stove. "Oh" She quickly ran back into the Kitchen and looked at the food. "Yep, it's cooked" Daria poured it equally into 3 bowls. "Lachlan, Emily, dinners ready" The 2 came bolting down the wide hallway.
The Mackay Family had been living in 1770 (Where captain cook landed) for 8 years. Lachlan and Emily lived out in the country side, near the Ocean where they could get beautiful views of the waves.
It was a battle for Emily to get onto the since she was so little, but she got there eventually.
After dinner Daria, Lachlan and Emily sat down and watched Television for a while. While doing that Daria also lost track of time. She glanced at the clock. 8:30! "You kids better go get into your PJ's" Daria hurried them.
Pretty soon, Lachlan came out of his bedroom in his Sonic the Hedgehog Pyjamas. He couldn't quite button up the shirt properly. "Mum, can you do my buttons up please" Lachlan requested. "Sure I can, sweetheart" His mother responded. He sat down onto the couch with her.
Then Emily came running out in her my little Pony Pyjama's and also requested for Daria to do her buttons up. Emily quickly ran into the bathroom and did her teeth and went to the toilet.
"Night Mummy" Emily hugged her before she and Daria went into her bedroom to go to bed. Emily has one of those beds with Safety bars on it. She tends to fall out of bed. It also has little steps to help her get up.
Emily's eyes were now drooping and she yawned continuously. Emily climbed into bed and lay on the sheets without the blanket on.
Daria walked over to her sweet little girl and pulled blankets up and gave her the toy dog that she always slept with. Realizing that she was already asleep, Daria kissed her forehead while saying "Goodnight baby", turned the light of and put her night light on.
But to Daria's surprise, when she walked back into the lounge room, Lachlan was asleep on the couch. His mother smiled and gently picked her son up and carried him to his room.
Lachlan's room was filled with sonic figurines, toys and even video games. She pulled the blanket up over her son and said "Night Lachy" as she switched off the light and left the room.
