Chapter 2

"Breakfast with the Family"

The next morning Deanna woke to a small hand in hers. At first she thought it was Wil but he was already up. It was Lily, Deanna and Wil said she was aloud to sleep with them because of her dream. Deanna smiled and kissed Lily on the forehead. The child woke from the kiss.

"Morning sunshine did you have any more bad dreams?"

Lily shook her head and kissed her mother back. Both Lily and Deanna got out of bed Deanna grabbing the matching robe to her night gown. Lily crawled out of bed and ran to the kitchen she gave her daddy a big hug. Wil was cooking breakfast for his family ready for work but not ready to go to work. Deanna smiled as Lily ran to her daddy's arms Wil picked her up and kissed her on the nose. It was a sweet moment and Deanna wanted to remember it.

"I see my sleeping beauties are finally up. So l see you didn't have any more bad dreams last night when you were sleeping with us did you sweetie?"

"No bad dreams daddy."

"Come on Lily lets go get dressed while daddy finishes our breakfast. Today you have to go to daycare while daddy and I go to work."

"I can't wait to go to daycare to see my friends. Today Miss Gladstone is going to teach us our colors. I already know mine but I don't want her to know that."

"Don't worry I'm sure she won't mind. Maybe you can help her with the younger children. I'm sure she would love to have a helper."

"Go on honey, go with mommy by the time you get done I will have breakfast on the table."

Wil places Lily on her feet and skips off her mother behind her. Deanna smiled at Wil and walks to Lily's room. Meanwhile inside Lily has her closet opened having difficulty choosing what she would wear to daycare. Deanna walks to her closet and helps Lily choose.

"Mommy I don't know what to wear today. Maybe you can help?"

"I would love to"

Deanna pulls out a few dresses for Lily to choose from. One green jumper, a skirt with flowers and the matching shirt, and a green sundress and holds them up to for Lily to choose. After many choices Lily finally decides on the green sundress. Deanna helps Lily put on the dress after its on Deanna pulls Lily's hair up into a French braid. A few curls are left down to frame her face. She was such a beautiful child. Later Deanna goes into her room and pulls out her uniform, uncomfortable as it may be it was regulation. Lily hands her mother the brush on the stand as Deanna brushes her hair letting is softly rest just past her shoulders. A few clips pull up the sides. Finishing with her makeup Lily tugs on her mother's pant leg.

"Mommy, can I wear some of your makeup?"

Deanna laughs lightly and puts a small dab of perfume on her neck then putting some on Lily who also got to wear some lip gloss of her mothers.

"So Lily how do we look?"

"We look beautiful mommy. Let's go and get some breakfast I'm sure daddy hasn't burned down the kitchen yet."

Deanna laughs at her daughter's comment. Soon they go out and as promised the table is set for the three of them. With scrambled eggs, toast, and juice the family eat contently. Silently Lily smiles and says…

"Thank you for a new mommy and daddy."

Wil and Deanna are touched as they continue to eat.
