This is gonna be multi-chapter it's a Greg Sanders family fic, and the only characters that belong to me are Zoe and Beth.
"Daddy, I need a packed lunch…" Greg rolled his eyes, and pulled the bread from the breadbin. Why did having children have to be so time consuming.
"Sweetie, mommy's not feeling well, so we have to be really quiet." Beth nodded, smiling sweetly, and ran off into the lounge to watch TV. Greg opened the fridge and looked for the jam. He pulled it out and looked inside. It was almost empty.
"Damn…" He spread the jam on the bread as evenly as he could and put the sandwich box into his daughter's bag. Everything seemed so much harder when Zoe was ill. "Beth, go and kiss mommy goodbye okay? She's in her bed." Beth nodded and bounded up the steps. Greg prayed he would never have to deal with a single parent situation, it was just so hard.
"Hey baby girl, you getting ready for school?" He sighed in relief. Thank goodness she was up.
"Zo, the jam's basically empty…" His wife looked at him and smiled.
"K Greg, I'll pick some up from the store later. It's strawberry right?" She placed Beth down on the counter, and began to plait her daughter's hair. As Greg watched the intricate patterns his wife made with Beth's hair, and wondered if he'd ever have to learn how to do that. When did your thoughts become so freaking morbid Sanders, it's just the flu.
"Thanks, I really need to get some sleep…" He yawned, just to exaggerate his point. Zoe laughed and kissed his cheek. Beth giggled and held her arms out expectantly. Only my five year old would be this stubborn.
"Remind me, I need to tell you something before you leave for work this evening." Greg quirked an eyebrow. He lifted Beth up, kissed her cheeks multiple times making her squeal and laugh, and walked up to his bedroom. He looked at the bed and smiled. Lying down, he smelled Zoe's side, feeling completely and utterly content.
