Right, here's a time lapse :) The following idea is inspired from the drama, The Time Between the Dog and the Wolf :)

8 years later...

Sean's POV
In my dream, I was walking along this dusty road, and the sun was shining high above. I was meeting my mother here. But where was she? Ah. There she was. She was beautiful, as far as I could remember, her hair flowing out behind her, and her warm, gentle smile beckoning over, closer and closer. I ran and ran for my life, just to hug her once again. But just like always she started to fade. But not this time, I wouldn't let that happen. It was my dream! I wanted to see my mother in MY dream, and I can control myself! But then just as I almost grabbed her dress, a strong, masculine voice woke me up.

"Sean! Sean! Wake up, it's time to go to school!" It was Dad, leaning over me, with a broad smile on his face. I sighed at him, and got up. Satisfied, he went off to prepare breakfast.

Stumbling across my messy room into my bathroom, I thought the same thoughts I always had after this dream. Mom, are you happy where you are now? How are you? I miss you so much...

Zach's POV
I had just set the table for breakfast, and was waiting for Sean to come down. Sitting down quietly at one end of the table, my thoughts drifted unknowingly to my Gallagher Girl. I missed her so much, and how I wish she was with me at this moment. It had been so long since we had breakfast together, as a family...

*** After school

Sean's POV
In the car, Dad was asking me about school and I just replied my usual answers. As always, he wagged his eyebrows at me and gave his famous smirk. I had to give him more information than that.

"Alright, alright... So, today, my teacher said that I couldn't..." I rattled off all the interesting things that happened today, until I knew he was satisfied. We stopped outside the CIA building, where a number of my 'good' friends were. As I walked beside Dad, I tried to keep my footsteps as light as possible, knowing how loud they would sound against the wooden, hard floor.

I just sat in Dad's office sofa, playing on my computer, waiting for him to tie up some loose ends. Within two hours, he was done, and off we were, back home again.

So, how's this? This chappie isn't exactly very long either... Teehee :) But do give me some opinions on how to improve :)Thank you so much!

Love,
