The next morning Sydney woke to Michael shaking her. "Syd, sweetie, come on wake up," Michael said. She opened her eyes and lazily smiled at him.

"Hey," she replied, "What's going on?"

"I'm getting ready to leave for work and Evan just got on the bus and Zoey is already awake, so it's time for you to get up," he replied.

"Okay, okay, I'm getting up," Sydney said, pulling the blankets back and sitting up. Her and Michael walked out of their bedroom and down the hall and stairs and they preceeded to walk into the kitchen where Zoey was sitting at the table with Donovan at her feet, eating a bowl of cereal.

When Zoey saw her mother walk into the kitchen she ran to her mother and jumped up in her arms, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Sydney set Zoey down and Zoey went over and hugged her father before quietly walking back to the table and sitting down once again.

At Sydney's side Michael patted Donovan on the head and said, "Look I have to go to work, have fun today." Sydney just smiled and walked with him to the front door.

"I love you," she told him.

"I love you too," he replied, giving her a quick kiss and walking ou the door. When he was gone, she shut the front door and walked back towards the kitchen.

"Zoey what do you want to do today?" Sydney asked her daughter.

"I don't know mommy," Zoey replied, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm not sure Zoe," Sydney said, "We'll have to wait and see." And she sat down at the table across from Zoey and drank her coffee.
