Glancing at the digital clock on her bedside table, Dawn finally decided that it was time to give up on sleep. It was now six thirty in the morning, which meant she had tossed and turned all night trying to think up answers to the possible questions Volkner might have. A shiver ran through her spine as she began to think about it again.

'What if he asks who the father is and then goes and tells him? The father doesn't even know that he has children...' She began thinking to herself. 'What if he asks about her sister and why I gave her away? How I could do such a thing? Or about how I never kept in contact with everybody? Why I kept this all a secret? How did I manage...'

Dawn was instantly pulled from her thoughts as she heard a loud bang coming from the kitchen, which could only mean one thing. Her darling daughter was awake and was trying to entertain herself.

She pulled on her dressing gown as she swung her legs off of the bed and made her way to the kitchen where she found said child on her stepping stool trying to reach the cereal boxes.

"Oh, sweet child of mine, what in Arceus name are you doing?" She asked her 6 year old.

"Aurora wants some cereal for breakfast but Aurora can't reach it. Mama help Aurora?"

"I will help but if you're a good girl and just go sit in your chair and cover your eyes, I'll add a surprise to breakfast." She smiled and had a little chuckle at the way her daughters violet eyes widened and sparkled at the word surprise and ran as fast as her little legs could take her to the dining room to sit in her chair and wait.

As Dawn got around to making her daughters' breakfast she couldn't help but to think how lucky she was to have such a wonderful daughter. It was almost like Aurora was blessed by the gods when she was born. She was such a beautiful child that she and Dawn both got compliments. Usually to Dawn it was about how such a pretty mother produces such a beautiful offspring (which often led to asking where the father was), but to Aurora the compliments where never ending. Her violet eyes were so vibrant, big and telling that you could read her like a book with what mood she was in. Her skin wasn't pale but it wasn't tanned either, making it a lot of fun to play around with makeup when they played dress up. Her small build was lethal, as she could hide basically anywhere she wanted and could always make a fast get away. Then to tie it all off her silky shoulder blade length midnight blue hair just completed her. Not to mention that she was well mannered, always done what she was told and smart. Smiling lightly to herself Dawn and counted herself lucky not to of had a snobby brat of a child some mothers her ages often had.

Finally done with the surprise she put all the plates and bowls onto a carry tray and took it all into the dining room where she put it directly in front of Aurora who was still sitting there with her eyes covered.

"You can open your eyes now, baby." Dawn whispered into her ear and watched Aurora as she took away her hands and looked at what was in front of her and gave a squeal of excitement and clapped her hands.

"Is this really all for Aurora?!"

"Not all of it because Mama needs breakfast too so we'll be sharing but you can dig in now."

Aurora took no time at all doing exactly what her mother told her to which made Dawn laugh.

In front of them were bowls filled with sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, apples and even grapes. While the plates were carrying maple syrup, honey, sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, milk and a tin of milo. All of which was to go with their Weet Bix to make it so much tastier.

"Aurora, honey, today after breakfast, your bath and during your morning play Mummy is going to have a friend over and I want you to be a good girl while they are here okay?"

"Aurora will be a good girl for Mummy's friend!"

Dawn hardly ate her breakfast but just picked at the grapes, popping one in her mouth every so often while she watched her daughter scoff down her Weet Bix topped with sliced bananas, strawberries and sugar. All she wanted was for Volkner seeing her to be a dream (she knew it wasn't true as she hardly go a wink of sleep after seeing him) and not ask her questions later but nobody always got what they wanted and Dawn knew that well.
