Lisa's alarm goes off and she groans. She rolls onto her back and feels Sonny's side of the bed, finding it empty. "Shit. He better be off in time." Davis mumbles to herself, still half asleep. She grabs her phone and sees a text from Sonny telling her he would be home shortly. She lays in her bed for a couple minutes before getting up. After Lisa is finished getting ready she goes into Mackenzie's room to wake her up. Lisa leans over her bed and rubs her back. "Good morning sweetie. It's time to get up for your first day of school."
"No Mommy, I'm tired' Mac grumbles, rolling away from Lisa.
"I know you are Kenzie. I am too, but you have to get up and go to school."
"Mommy, am I going to make friends." Mackenzie asks looking Lisa in the eyes.
Lisa smiles, how did she wind up with such a sweet child she thinks "Of course you are honey. And Sophia is in your class, so you already know you have one friend." Lisa says stroking Mac's hair. "It's time to get up."
Mac sits up. "Okay… is Daddy home?" She asks looking around for him.
"No sweetie, not yet. He'll be home soon though, so let's get up and get ready." After Lisa has Mackenzie dressed they head down stairs to find Sonny finishing up breakfast. "Daddy!" Mac exclaims and she runs to Sonny and wraps her arms around him.
"Good mornin princess." Sonny says as he bends down to pick up Mac. "Are ya ready for your first day of big kid school?"
"I'm nervous." Mac mumbles into Sonny's shoulder.
"Aw darlin, it will all be okay. You're gonna have so much fun." Sonny says as he holds her tight.
"If you say so Daddy."
"Well I do. Okay breakfast is ready. How bout I put ya down and ya go sit at the table." Sonny says shifting so Mac can get down.
"Okay." Mac says letting Sonny put her down. "What did you make me for breakfast?" She asks as she sits at the table.
"Chocolate chip pancake. Is that okay with ya, your highness." Sonny chuckles as he places the plate in front of Mac.
"My favorite." Mac says with a smile. "Thank you Daddy."
"I'm glad you like it sweetie." Sonny says kissing Mackenzie on the top of the head.
"Does Mommy get anything?" Lisa jokes.
Sonny smirks. "Coffee." He walks over to Lisa and wraps his arms around her waist. "And Daddy of she's willin to be late to work."
"Sonny Quinn." Lisa laughs, slapping Sonny on the shoulder.
"Don't Sonny Quinn me." Sonny laughs as he pulls Davis closer to him. "We get the whole house to ourselves. Ya can't tell me that doesn't sound amazin."
"Mm that does sound nice. It's been a long time since we got to do whatever we wanted and be as loud as we want." Lisa whispers in his ear as she runs her fingers through the back of his hair.
"I'll take that as a yes." Sonny says as he snakes his arms around her lower back, pulling her tightly against him.
"I'm done." Mackenzie announces.
"Fantastic. Did you like it?" Sonny says to Mac.
"Yes Daddy, very yummy." Mac says with giant smile.
"Good." He chuckles. Sonny turns to Lisa. "Are we gonna be those parents and take first day of school pictures?"
"I guess we should, right?" Lisa says looking at the two. "Document her life, is what we keep saying."
"I like it, to he front porch we go." Sonny says as he points to the front door.
After they finish taking pictures the three get into Lisa's SUV. From the passenger seat Davis turns around to look at Mackenzie. "Feeling a little more excited now?"
"I guess." Mac says looking out of the window. "What if the other kids don't like me?"
"They will like you sweetie, I promise." Lisa says with a smile.
"How do you know Mommy?"
"Just be nice and be yourself and everything will be okay." Lisa says.
"Will I have fun?" Mac asks.
Sonny chuckles, to be five again. "You will have so much fun."
Sonny parks and the the three head inside the school. They walk into the class room. "This looks like a fun classroom." Lisa says looking around.
Mac nods her head. "Yeah… when I met my teacher at open house she was really nice."
"Good." Lisa says.
Sonny leans down to her. "Ya would have known that if ya we at open house instead of off savin the world from a really bad guy.
"Excuse me for wanting to help keep this country safe." Lisa laughs as she bumps Sonny's hip with hers.
Mac takes off running to Sophia the second the sees her. "Good Morning to you too Mackenzie." Jason laughs.
"Hi Uncle Jason." Mac responds as her and Sophia embrace each other.
"Jason." Lisa says reaching out to hug him.
"Davis. Can you believe it's our girls first day of kindergarten." Jason asks.
"I know. How are they already old enough to be in kindergarten." They separate and Lisa looks around. "Where's Mandy?"
"Outside, she needed to take a call from Langley." Jason responds.
"Okay, good." Lisa replies.
"It is. I'm glad you two are home for today." Jason say.
"Me too. After I missed the open house and then last week, I was pretty worried we were going to be spun up." Lisa say.
Sonny drapes his arm over her shoulder. "Thankfully."
"Good morning people." Mandy says as she approaches the three.
"Good morning." Lisa responds. "I guess we should say bye and let them continue with school."
"Look at them." Mandy nods toward Sophia and Mackenzie talking with a handful of other kids.
Lisa smiles. "And her biggest fear this morning was to making friends."
Mandy chuckles. "Sophie's too. She was so worried none of the other kids would want to play with her."
"And now they have forgotten we even exist." Jason adds, taking in the moment. This was the first first day of school he had gotten to be at. It wasn't until he was able to do something for the first time with Sophia that he never had the opportunity to do with Emma or Micky that he realized just how much of their life he had missed.
Ms. Jones walked to the front of the class and looked around. "Okay class, it is time to say good-bye to the grown up so we can start class."
Mackenzie and Sophia make their way over to their parents. Sonny and Davis squat down and each hug Mackenzie. "Okay Mac, be good today and remember to listen to Ms. Jones." Mac nods her head in understanding. "I love you sweetie. We'll see you after school."
"I second what your Mom said." Sonny say. "Have fun and learn a bunch. Love ya kiddo."
Sonny and Davis drive most of the way back to their house quietly until Sonny speaks. "Is somethin wrong?" He asks taking her hand.
"No, well… I don't regret the decision we made about me staying in and you getting out, but I have moments where I look at you and Mac, and I, I don't know I feel like you guys are more bonded than her and I are."
"That's funny cause I look at y'all and think how much ya two love each other and how great of a mom ya are." Sonny says.
"I don't think I'm a bad mom or anything." Lisa lets out a breath. "Like this morning when she saw you in the kitchen, she was so happy."
"Well in all fairness I make her custom shaped breakfast food." Sonny laughs. "I know for a fact ya wouldn't know where to start on that front."
Lisa can't help but laugh. "Damn Quinn."
"Listen Lisa, we both have great relationships with her. They are both special in different ways. All the ways that we are different, but still work so well together, it's those same things that makes us the parents that we are."
Davis eyes Sonny for a second. "I like that."
"And just remember. Jason already has two kids and has been there for way more first with Sophia than he was for Emma and Mikey combined. You're doin way better." Sonny says as he pulls into the driveway.
"Is that what he looked so deep in thought about at the school?" Lisa asks.
"I think so. He's seein now just how much he missed with his first two." Sonny responds as they head to the front door. "Now that you're done with your coffee…"
Lisa cocks her head at him. "Now that I'm done with my coffee what?"
Sonny chuckles. "Now that you're done with your coffee should we move this show to the bedroom." He looks at her a little confused as she heads straight to the family room.
Lisa turns and faces him, smirking. "Or should we keep it right here, seeing as we have the whole house to ourselves." She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him to her."
"Fantastic idea Davis." Sonny says before claiming her lips with his.
