Normal POV
Three months later at their home on North Harding Ave, Anastasia is in the living room playing with one of her princess dolls. While Anthony is playing tug of war with Luna using one of her tug toys. Antonio is watching her while Tracy is making dinner.
"Dad, can I go outside to play in the back yard after dinner?" Anastasia asks.
"Sure," Antonio says.
Anthony stops playing with Luna and walks over to him and makes the motions with his hands asking his dad to pick him up. Antonio smiles and picks her up.
"Why do you call mommy, my little angel fish?" Anthony asks.
"That's the nickname I gave mommy when we were dating." He answers.
"When do I get a fish nickname daddy?" he asks.
"Right now, buddy, well you're energetic and playful. You can be my little dolphin." He says.
"My golden knight, dolphins are mammals." Tracy says as she walks in the room.
"I know that, honey, but a dolphin is the perfect match for his personality." Antonio says.
Anastasia walks over her. She picks her up.
"What about me, can I have a fish nickname too, please?" Anastasia asks.
Tracy smiles and kisses him on the cheek. Anastasia asks what's for dinner. Tracy tells her that they are having smoked salmon, baked potatoes, and green beans. Anastasia is very happy because that is her favorite dinner.
After dinner Antonio tells his wife that he would do the dishes. Tracy kissed him on the cheek. Tracy and the kids go outside to play in the back yard. They play outside for an hour and twenty minutes. Tracy tells them that it's time to go back inside and get ready for bed.
"Mommy, can't I stay outside for five more minutes?" Anastasia asks.
"No, sweetie, you have to go to bed, tomorrow is your first day of preschool, remember." Tracy answers.
Anastasia makes her famous puppy dog look. Tracy doesn't give in this time and tell her to go back inside. Then Antonio walks outside.
"Dad, mom, is being mean." Anastasia says with a frown on her face.
Antonio chuckles and walks over to her.
"You know mommy loves you, right?" Antonio asks.
Yes," Anastasia answers.
Antonio picks her up and carries her inside and gets her ready for bed. Tracy picks up Anthony after she whistles to Luna telling her to come inside too. Antonio walks into her room. He puts down on her bed that as Dora the Explorer bedding. Anastasia's pajamas are pink and have gold butterflies on them. A few minutes later Tracy and Luna walk in the room after she put Anthony to bed. Luna goes over to the bed. She jumps into it and circles a few times before she curls up into a ball ready to fall asleep.
"Can you read me a bedtime story daddy?" Anastasia asks.
"Sure, my little dolphin, which story would you like to hear?" Antonio answers.
"Goodnight Moon," Anastasia answers.
Antonio goes over to the bookshelf and picks out Goodnight moon. He walks back over to Anastasia, sits down on the edge of the bed, opens the front cover and starts to read.
"In this great green room there was a telephone and a red balloon and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon. And there were three bears sitting on chairs. Two little kittens and a pair of mittens. And a little toy house and a young mouse and a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush." Antonio reads.
When he finishes reading the last page and closes the book. He looks down and sees his daughter fast asleep. He sets to book on the end table. He kisses her good night and walks to the door, turns off the light and closes the door quietly. He walks towards their room.
The next morning Tracy and Antonio wake up and get dressed. Tracy walks over to her husband. She kisses him on the cheek.
"My first classes isn't until 11, so I'll be able to be there when we drop off the kids." Tracy asks.
Antonio kisses her on the cheek too, and they leave the room. After breakfast Tracy and Antonio spent the next ten minutes getting their kids ready to head to Little Acorns Montessori Academy. Anastasia is wearing a pink long sleeve shirt with a pick flower on it near the right shoulder, the matching pink ruffled shirt, and a pair of oink boots with ribbons on them. She is holding her pink and green butterfly backpack in her left hand, which is filled with all her supplies. She has the matching lunch box in her other hand. Antonio and Anthony walk in the living room. Tracy smiles seeing her son in his cute outfit (a plaid green T-shirt, ripped jeans and a pair lace up tan shoes) and is holding his bookbag that has a bunch of emergency vehicles on it. She immediately wanted to take a picture of them together. Everyone heads outside after they go to the kitchen to get their lunch boxes. Anastasia picks up her Dora the Explorer lunch box, and Anthony picks up his lunch box it has the same pattern as his bookbag. Antonio locks the door before he walks out. The Griffin Family greets them at the front porch. Hannah is wearing a dress with a squirrel on it with a floral print shirt and puffy cuffs on the end of the sleeves that have the same pattern as the skirt, a blue flower headband and the matching pair of silver flats that have a flower pattern on them. She is carrying her owl bookbag in her left hand and the matching lunch box in her other hand. Guillermo is wearing a T-shirt that has Marshal from the Paw Patrol on it, the matching shorts, and the matching Velcro shoes have Marshal and Chase on them. His bookbag has Rubble, Marshal and Chase on it along with the words Ready for Action written across the bottom. The lunch box has the words All Paws on deck written across the top left hand corner and a picture of Rocky, Marshal and Chase. "I thought you liked to know, I have the day off. I'd be happy to puppy sit for Luna." Carson says. "That would be great, Thank you, the doggy care that we were going to take her to was full." Antonio says. "Mom, can we get going please," Anastasia asks. "In a second, sweetie, I want to take a picture of you and your brother first." Tracy answers. Anastasia and Hannah take turns helping the other out their book bags on. The boys copy their sisters. They walk to the end of the sidewalk. They get in line Luna and Banter sit down in front of them, while Tracy and Raschelle take out their phones. "Say First Day of Preschool," The parents say together. The kids say what their parents told them to say before smiling as they take the photo. "Anthony is going to be in my preschool class this year, isn't he?" Guillermo asks. "We'll have to wait till we get to the school to find out." Tracy says. = Samurai Family Life =Twenty minutes later, they arrive at Little Acorns Montessori Academy. Antonio gets out of his car. Tracy wanted to wait a year before Anthony started preschool, but the school said that he could start this year since he is potty trained. Everyone walks into the school. The principal and the kids' teachers walk up to them.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Coleman, and I'll be Anastasia and Hannah's teacher." Mrs. Coleman says.
"This is so cool Anastasia we get to be in the same class." Hannah says.
"It sure is," Anastasia agrees.
The girls immediately let go of their mom's hand and walk over to their new teacher. The take a hold of Mrs. Coleman's hand and turn around to face their mom and little brother.
"Bye, mom, have a good day at your first day of vet school," Anastasia says.
"Bye, mom, have a good day at work." Hannah says.
"I love you," The girls say together.
Then they eagerly pull Mrs. Coleman away and down the hall.
Wow, that was easier that I thought it was going to be. Tracy thinks.
"Well, I applaud you Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Griffin. You have raised some very independent young girls." The principal says.
"Thank you," Rachelle says.
"Hello boys, I'll be your teacher this year. I'm Mr. Steincamp; it's nice to meet you." Mr. Steincamp says.
"Yeah, we are in the same class," The boys cheer.
The boys' slowly let go of their mom's hand. Tracy and Rachelle band down to be at their level.
"Bye mom, this hug is from me and Anastasia," Anthony says.
He and Guillermo, both give their mom a hug. After they backed away Tracy and Rachelle stand up, and watch their boys walk down the hallway to Mr. Steincamp's classroom.

Back at the Griffin house, Carson watches the puppies play tug of war with Banter's rope toy. I hope that everything went okay at preschool. I remember my first day I don't want mom to leave. He knew how attached Guillermo was with Rachelle. His thoughts were interrupted when the puppy walked up to him tapping their paws on his pant leg. He looks down at them and see them panting really hard.
"Okay, you two, I'll go get some water." Carson says.
=Samurai Family Life=
Meanwhile, at the Veterinary school, Tracy walks into the classroom. Two women walk up to her.
"Hi, I'm Josefa and this is my friend Rosalind. You can like you are welcome to sit next to us if you want." Josefa says.
"No thanks, I'm good." Tracy says.
Tracy politely walks away and sits down in the third chair in from the left in the third row back from the front of the class. A few minutes later, another woman sits down next to her. Tracy looks to her left.
"HI, I'm Tracy Garcia, What's your name?" Tracy asks.
"HI, Tracy I'm Sofia McCrae. It's nice to meet you too." Sofia says.
They talk for a while since they had thirty minutes before class starts. Sofia asks her if she has any kids. Tracy answers yes and takes out her phone and shows her a picture of Anastasia and Anthony she took of them along with Luna and the neighbor's kids and their puppy.
"Oh your kids are adorable and the puppy is really cute too." Sofia says
"Thank you." Tracy says.
"I guess that other puppy and kids live next door," Sofia says.
"Yes, we thought that we could share the photo since all our kids were starting preschool today," Tracy says.

Antonio parks his car in the Fish Dish parking lot where the other employees parked their cars. He walks inside through the employee entrance. His boss, Alexander Brush, walks up to him.
"Hello, Mr. Garcia, I'm glad to see that you showed up ten minutes before your shift. I appreciate punctual employees." Alexander says.
"You're welcome, sir, where would you like me to start?" Antonio says.
"You'll be working in the kitchen assisting Chef, Fisher," Alexander says.
Alexander shakes Antonio's hand before heading the check the dining room to make sure it's ready for the lunch rush. Antonio heads to the crew room to put his things away in his locker. He is excited to start his first day of work.
=Samurai Family Life=
Back at the Vet School, the professor walks in. He goes to the front of the room and sets his briefcase down on the desk.
"Hello class my name is Dr. Clayton Pennington and welcome to the first day of Veterinary school." Dr. Clayton says.
After he passes out the course schedule, he asks everyone to take turns telling the class about themselves. The first student to stand up is Isidro tells the class that he is single and loves to do anything outdoors.
Tracy stands up and tells the class about how she always wanted to become a vet ever since she was a little girl. She also tells the class about her husband Antonio and the kids Anastasia and Anthony and Luna too.
The next student to stand up after Tracy sits down is Ramon Landry. He says that he loves to take long walks on the beach and to do other romantic thing like that.
After other students, Gail Cain, Hugh Young, Isidro Rice, Jewell Howard, and Sofia McCrae introduced themselves to everyone. Dr. Clayton Pennington stared his lecture. Everyone pays close attention and takes detailed notes. The class ends an hour later and everyone puts their things away. Everyone heads to the lab. Three hours later Tracy couldn't believe how tired she was. She walks out to her car, unlocks it, opens the driver's side door, gets in, puts her book bag down on the passenger's seat, closes the door, puts on her seatbelt, starts the car and drives back to the house.
She gets about five miles down from the entrance ramp to the expressway. The traffic light just turns green and she pulls out into the intersection. A 2014 Cadillac Escalade comes in from the opposite direction because the driver decides to blow the red light. It slams into Tracy's 2012 Dodge Charger. The impact causes the Driver side impact and overhead airbags to go off. The car spins a few times. The only thing on Tracy's mind is her family.
A few minutes later all the emergency vehicles show up. The driver's side door was so badly dented in that the firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to cut through it. After they cut through the door one of the fire fighters sees Tracy and tries to wake her up.
"Ma'am, can you hear me, ma'am?" the fire fighter asks.
Tracy wakes up long enough to tell the fire fighter to tell her family that she is going to be okay. The fire fighter picks her up carefully and puts her on the stretcher. The paramedics take her over to the ambulance. They put her inside and connect all the medical equipment to her.
=Samurai Family Life=
They get to the hospital ten minutes later. The doctor closed the cut on Tracy's forehead with twenty stitches and tends to her other wounds. Afterwards he called her husband. Meanwhile, at the house Antonio walks through the front door and hears the phone ring a few minutes later. He walks into the kitchen and answers the phone.
"Hello, Garcia residence. " Antonio says.
"Mr. Garcia this is Dr. Eusebio Coffey from Huntington Hospital. Your wife was in a car accident an hour ago." Dr. Coffey says.
"Is she all right?" Antonio asks.
"Yes," Dr. Coffey says.
"We'll be there in a bit, thank you," Antonio says.
Antonio hangs up the phone. "Okay, kids we have to go to the hospital. Your mom was in a car accident."
"Is she okay dad," Anastasia asks.
"Yes, honey, she is fine," Antonio says.
Everyone goes back out to the car. Then he drives the kids to the hospital to see Tracy. They walk into the waiting room and they see Dr. Eusebio Coffey and nurse Chandra Mitchell walk up to them.
"Hello Mr. Garcia, I'll show you to your wife's room." Dr. Eusebio Coffey says.
"What about me, daddy," Anastasia asks.
"Yeah, what are we going to do Daddy?" Anthony adds.
"Nurse Chandra will take you two to the cafeteria to get a snack, I'm going see mommy." Antonio answers.
Anastasia and Anthony nods. Nurse Chandra and the kids head to the cafeteria. Dr. Eusebio Coffey shows Antonio to Tracy's room. Antonio walks in and goes over to the bed.
"Hey angel, how are you feeling?" Antonio asks.
"A little light headed," Tracy answers honestly.
Dr. Eusebio Coffey walks over to the bed."I think it's best for you to stay a few hours for observation."
=Samurai Family Life=
A few seconds later, Chandra and kids walk in. They climb onto the bed and give Tracy a big hug.
"I'm so happy that you're okay, mom." Anastasia says.
"Me too," Anthony says.
A few seconds later, they start crying. Tracy starts humming one of their favorite songs to help them calm down. Once they calm down, Antonio and Dr. Eusebio pick them up and set them down in the chairs that are next to the bed. Then the kids start telling their parents all about their first day of school. Tracy and Antonio were happy to hear that they made a bunch of new friends and learned some new Spanish words.
"When you can come home mom. I'm going to show you the drawing I made for you," Anastasia says.
"I drew you a picture too daddy." Anthony says.
"That's great guys, and I can't wait to see them." Tracy says.
"Yes, they'll be hung up on the fridge that way everyone how comes to visit can see what you two made." Antonio says.
