Finn doesn't like it when he is the first one up on Saturday mornings. However, he loves watching his family this sleep. First, there's Rachel, who even after all of this time, still looks as cute as ever when she is fast asleep. The girls of course, are still little enough that they look like the most adorable little girls in the world when they are sleeping. Well, they always look like the prettiest little girls, but they look especially adorable while sleeping soundly. Especially Hope, she crinkles her little nose when she sleeps. Finally, there's Liam, who still looks like that same old little boy when he is sleeping.
Finn sees Hope open her little, blue eyes a few minutes later. "Hey little girl, look who is finally up? He tells her chuckling.
"Daddy, it's not even that late." The two and a half year old teases.
"I know, but you see, Daddy has been up for a long, long time." Finn tells her, yawnining
"Up, Daddy, up!"
"Okay, here, up you go "
"Yay."
"Shhhh, baby, you don't want to wake up Mommy. you know how much your mommy likes her sleep."
Hope giggles. "Yes, Daddy."
"I think your brother is up. Do you want to go say hi to him?"
"Yeah."
"Hi Hope, hi Dad." Liam says groggily
"Hey Kiddo, did you sleep okay?" Finn asks.
"I guess you could say that I did, but not really."
"Oh, well, hey it's Saturday you could always take a nap."
"I hate taking naps."
"You do now, but I know you will love them when you get older, trust me."
"If you say so, Dad."

"Morning Kiddo! How was your night's sleep?" Rachel asks.
"It was ok. How was yours, Mom?" Liam asks sweetly.
"It was absolutely wonderful, I guess all of those late night shows caught up with me. I really missed you three and your father with all of the shows I had on my plate."
"He took good care of us, Mom. Don't you worry."
"Good, I wasn't expecting anything less from your father, he always is so good with you and the girls."
"But we did miss you a lot, Mom. Things are weird when you aren't home. Plus, Dad can't cook so we are always eating frozen pizza for dinner when you have a show to do."
"I'm sure you don't mind that too much though."
"I don't really. Hey Mom, when can I go to one of your late night shows? I have always wanted to go to one."
"When you are a teenager, your father and I agreed on that." Rachel says smiling.
Liam frowns. "Aww, but Momma, that feels like absolutely forever and a day from now."
"I know, but that time will be here before you even know it, and you will be wishing you were a little boy again."
"I don't want to be a little boy any more, I want to grow up."
"You won't always feel that way, Sweetie. I promise."
"I love you, Mom. Thank you for always knowing what to say, and for always being there for me when I need you most."
"You are so very welcome, Liam that is kind of my job as your mother, to take care of you."
Liam smiles at his mother." "Yeah, I guess it is, Mom."

Liam settles down at his usual seat next to Chloe the next day at school for lunch.
"So, how was your weekend, Chloe?" He asks.
"Oh, I guess it was good. I got my dress for Beth's wedding yesterday, and it is a lot prettier than I had expected it to be." Chloe says, smiling a little bit.
"I'm glad, so are you feeling any better about Beth getting married to Josh in just a few months?"
"Yeah, he is a lot nicer than I thought he was going to be the first few times I met him, and he is really good to my sister, which is making me feel much better about the idea of Beth getting married soon."
Liam smiles at Chloe. "See, I told you that you would change your mind about Josh and your sister eventually."
"Hey Liam, why are you always right about things, I don't get it"
"I am not really sure, I guess you could say I get that from my mom."
Chloe giggles. "Oh, of course you do."
"Yeah, just like you get your sassy attitude from both of your parents."
"Oh, I do not!"
"But you so do, you know that." Liam teases.
"You win, I have tons of sass to go around."
"It's not your fault."
"Yeah, my parents want me to be able to grow up and be able to defend myself against bullies and all that stuff, so I guess you could say that is part of the reason that I am so sassy all the time.
"Or it could just simply be the fact your last name is Puckerman." Liam says, aa big smirk on his face."
"You are very right about that too. My family is so sassy."
"I like it though."
Chloe blushes. "Really?"
"Yeah, absolutely."

"Liam, how was school today?" Rachel asks
"Pretty boring. As usual." Liam answers.
"Boring? But I really thought that you enjoyed school. Was that just a phase then?"
"No, I still like school but everything we are learning right now are things I already know how to do, so I have been getting really bored when it comes to school lately."
"Oh, I see, just do not get yourself into causing trouble because of your boredom, because I would hate to see you getting yourself into trouble, you are always such a good kid."
"I won't get myself into trouble, Momma, I promise. I hate getting into trouble."
"Good, you are growing up to be such a young gentleman. Do you know that?"
"Of course I know that, Mom. You only tell me that at least one time a day."
"Just checking on you, you know that."
"I am kind of scared to grow up though, even though it sounds like a pretty cool thing."
"Everyone is afraid of growing up when it first start out, I promise you will not have all that much to worry about."
"I know, but it just feels really weird to grow up right now, it's actually pretty scary."
"You have every single right in this world to be afraid of growing up, it is a pretty serious and scary thing to a lot of kids, especially very smart and determined, with a whole bunch of ambitions like you.
"Mom, I'm not that talented though."
Don't be silly kiddo, of course you a very talented young man, you have music running through your veins like it's what keeps you alive, and I think that is something that you should be very proud of yourself, having a talent like that, it really is a very wonderful thing to have."
"Mom, you always know just what to say to make me feel better about myself."
"It is only me just doing my job as your mother and taking good care of my little boy."
Mom, I am not that much of a little boy anymore, next year I am going to be in middle school."
"I know you are not that little anymore, but you know that you always be mama's boy to me, because your my little boy."
Liam smiles. "I can handle that much, Momma."
"Good, I'm glad"

Finn sees Liam settled at the piano practicing. He started taking lessons a few months ago and he absolutely loves playing piano already.
"Hey Buddy, what are you working on?" Finn asks Liam
"A new piece my teacher gave me last week, does it sound okay so far?" Liam questions to his father.
"It sounds beautiful, it took me a really long to sound like that, and look at you, you've only been playing a few months and you already sound that good."
"Mom says it's because I have music running through my veins like it's blood."
Finn smiles. "I think your mother is quite right about that."
"Am I as good as you and Mom are at singing?"
Finn smiles. "Of course you are, you might even better than the two of us put together, you are very talented for your age, Liam."
"I don't know if anyone will ever have a voice that is prettier than Mom's that is for sure."
"Your mother does have a very beautiful voice."
"I want to go see another show of hers soon."
"You will get the chance to go soon enough, I promise."
"Good, I love watching Mom perform."
"I know you do and so do I."
"I think she is always the best one."
"Of course she is, she's our superstar."
"I want to be like her one day, Dad."
"And you will be, you just have to keep on practicing and I know that that will get you wherever it is that you want to be in life."
"Hey Dad, would you like to hear another number that I have been working on, on piano?"
Finn smiles proudly at his son. "I would love to hear you play another song, Liam."

"Morning Liam, you look nice today." Chloe says when she walks into the classroom the next day.
"I do?" Liam questions.
"Of course, but you do always look quite handsome."
Liam blushes bright red for several seconds. "Oh, thank you Chloe, you look very pretty today, just like you do every single other day of the week."
"Dad says it is because I look almost exactly like my mom."
"You do look a lot like your mom, but you have your dad's eyes."
"I really do, how did you tell?"
Liam smiles at Chloe. "Oh, I guess I just have a knack for noticing things like that."
"We better get to our seats before the teacher starts to yell at us for talking too much."
"Oh, I guess so, but I am not ready for the day to get started."
"Liam, you are never ready for a new day at school to start. But at least we have a music class to go to today."
Liam grins widely. "Oh yeah, we do have one today. I almost forgot about it. I love going to music clas, it is so much fun."
"We have to make it through our math class first?"
"Oh, I guess, but I hate math."
Chloe smiles. "So do I."

"Mom, I'm home, did you miss me?" Liam calls when he walks into the door.
Rachel smiles at her son. "Of course I missed you, Liam!"
"I missed you too, Mom!"
"So, how was your day at school today?"
"It was really good, we even had music class today."
"Sounds fun, I know how much you love your music teacher, she is a very nice lady."
"We got to sing a whole bunch today, it was a lot of fun."
"I bet you are pretty tired from such a busy day like that."
"No, I'm not really all that tired."
"You go do your homework, and I will get dinner ready. Okay?"
"Sounds like a plan, Mom. I love you."
"I love you too, very much."
