"Dad, wake up! Wake up!"
Nemo, who was now six years old, was jumping on his father's bed, his face was filled with excitement. Marlin, on the other hand, groan as he felt Nemo jumping on the bed. He did not like the idea of waking up this way.
"Come on dad you need to get up!" Nemo yells out with an excited voice. He stop jumping up and down on the bed, but he was bouncing up and down like crazy.
Marlin rubs his eyes and sits up on the bed. He yawns as he rubs his eyes. "Nemo what time is it?" He asks his son tiredly.
"It's seven o'clock!" Nemo answers with a yell, a big smile was on his face.
Marlin let's out another groan as he tries to make himself fully away. He was off of work today. What has gotten into this kid lately? Why in the world is he awake early!? Can he like sleep in once for a while?!
"Nemo, why in the world are we awake early?" He asks him, still not happy he was awake from Nemo.
Nemo let's out a big sigh and he grabs his father's hand, squeezing it tight and moving it up and down. "Dad, it's Monday. It's my first day of school!"
Marlin froze from his spot. Oh crap, he forgot about Nemo's first day at San Diego Elementary School. He knew all about it yesterday and help Nemo get everything ready for his first day of becoming a first grader, and now he had completely forgot until this morning. Sleep can make him forget anything, even if they were good things or just plain dumb things.
Marlin looks down at his son with an apologetic look. "Nemo I am so sorry I forgot about your first day. I can tell you are excited."
Nemo smiles big at his father and begins to bounce up and down again. "I am super duper excited. I can't wait to see Mr. Ray! I heard he is amazing!"
"I am pretty sure he will be the best teacher," saids Marlin, putting a warm smile on his face. He ruffed his ginger hair, causing Nemo to giggle. He chuckles along with his son, loving the fact that he can hear his son laughing along with him.
The laughing seized after a moment. "You need to go ahead and get ready son, I'll make you pancakes for breakfast."
Nemo gasps. "Chocolate chip!?"
Marlin chuckles and nods his head in response. "Yes, chocolate chip pancakes it is."
Nemo screams out in excitement, clapping his hands in excitement. He gets off the bed and runs away from his father's bedroom. Marlin chuckles as he gets up from the bed and starts walking downstairs to the kitchen.
He lets out another yawn as he gets out the pancake batter and a bag of chocolate chip. He gets everything together, following instructions from the box he brought from the grocery store. Not before long, he gets the pancakes onto a pan and starts cooking them. It wasn't before long until Nemo came downstairs. He was wearing a blue and white stripe polo shirt and khaki slacks with Sperry's.
Marlin looks over to his son, smiling down at him. "My son, you look handsome."
"Thanks dad, but you choose these clothes for me." Nemo saids with a smile on his face.
"Still, look very handsome young fella," he saids as he puts two chocolate chip pancakes on a plate. He walks over to Nemo, picks him up and put him on a high chair beside the counter. He grabs the syrup and the plate and put it over to Nemo. He grabs the chocolate milk from the refrigerator and pours it into a Mickey Mouse cup. He gives it to his son, who was beaming at him with a cutest smile he can give to him.
Nemo watches as Marlin cuts up the pancakes quickly and pours syrup on it. Marlin was quiet the whole time while he was preparing his son for breakfast. Nemo didn't really care because all he can think about is school, but he still wants to see if he was okay.
"Dad, are you okay?" He asks him, looking at him in worry.
Marlin looks up at him and nods his head, having a smile on his face. "Yeah of course I am okay. Don't mind me you little one. You need to go ahead and eat breakfast." He tells the little one.
Nemo nods as he begins to eat. While Nemo was eating, Marlin went back upstairs and change his clothes. He changed from pajamas to gym shorts and a T-shirt. He clean himself up for a bit before grabbing his keys to his car and walks back downstairs. Nemo was already done and was putting on his book bag, well, he was at least trying to.
Marlin chuckles at Nemo's struggle. "You need help little fella?"
Nemo nods his head, still trying to put it on him. Marlin laughs as he walks over to Nemo and helps him put on his book bag. Right after he got done, Nemo turns around and looks at his dad, a big smile on his face.
"You got everything, correct?" Marlin asks him. Nemo nods his head. "Yes daddy."
"Did you brush your hair?"
"Yes daddy."
"Brush your teeth."
"Yes daddy."
Marlin looks down, running his son's hair. Nemo's smile drop and his eyes landed on the ground. Something made him think about something else.
"Hey daddy?"
"Yes, Nemo?"
"Will the kids make fun of me because I have one arm?"
Marlin looks down in shock. He knew that Nemo was going to say something, but he thought it would be a good thing, not a thing he has to worry about. He kneels down to Nemo's level and talks to him, his hands touching his son's shoulders.
"Nemo, you are still just like all of those other kids. No one will ever make fun of you for what you have. You may be different, but that is because you are special. Remember what I told you about your arm? What do you call it?"
Nemo looks up at his dad and smiles at him. "My lucky fin." He saids, his voice filled with excitement.
"That's right, your lucky fin. Don't let anyone tell you differently about your arm, just ignore them." He gives his son and advice with a smile on his face.
Nemo went over and hugs his father. Marlin returns the favor, the two having a smile on their faces.
"I love you dad."
"I love you too my son."
The two pulls away and Marlin stands back up. "Alright kid. Let's get you to the school." He saids to him.
Nemo jumps up and down for excitement before the two left the home. It was going to be a good day.
