It was nearly midnight when Jack woke up and it took him a good ten seconds to think about where he was. He made sure Maddy was fully tucked in and properly kissed goodnight before he headed across the hall to his own bedroom. He quickly changed into shorts and a tee-shirt and popped into the bathroom to brush his teeth before climbing into bed with Deb.
The next morning, Jack woke to find the sun up and Deb gone. He frowned that he’d overslept and was halfway to the shower when he remembered that he didn’t have to go in. After a quick shower, he got dressed and glanced into Maddy’s room to make sure she was up for school. When she wasn’t in there, Jack figured she was up and ready.
Of course, he was usually at work by now, so he wasn’t actually sure what time she left for school. As he reached the bottom of the staircase, Jack could hear two voices, so he knew that Maddy was still home. He cleared the corner and spotted Deb pouring cereal into a bowl and Maddy was turning off the television in the den.
“Good morning, ladies,” Jack said with smile and striking a Peter Pan-pose.
“Daddy!” Maddy grinned and tore across the room toward Jack, who picked her up and carried her over to the counter, where Deb had just set down the bowl. She held up the box of cereal for Jack to see and he shook his head. He set Maddy down in the chair and pulled out the chair next to her. Deb turned around and put the box of cereal back in the cabinet and opened another and pulled out a coffee mug.
She poured a fresh cup of coffee and then brought it back around and set it down in front of Jack before giving him a quick kiss and pointing to Maddy’s bowl. “Eat,” she said with a nod before disappearing around the corner. Jack looked back to Maddy and smiled as he watched her eat breakfast. He took a sip of the coffee and set the mug back down.
“How you feelin’ kiddo?” Maddy shrugged and she ate another spoonful of Cheerios. Jack twisted his mug on the countertop and pushed himself up, placing a kiss on the top of Maddy’s head as he moved around the counter. He opened the cupboard and pulled out a bowl, then moved to the next cupboard and pulled out the box of cereal.
“So, I was wondering...” Jack said with a grin as he poured some of the cereal into the bowl. “Would it be okay with you if I took you to school this morning, instead of-” He smiled at the look on the seven-year-old’s face.
“Really?” Jack laughed and pulled a spoon out of the drawer.
“Really.” Maddy nodded and held out her spoon. Jack reached across the counter and they tapped the back of their spoons together, then both went back to their breakfast.
A few minutes later, Deb came back into the kitchen and raised an eyebrow at father and daughter, who were now having a spoonfight. She moved around the counter and reached for their bowls, moving them to the sink and turned back. “You ready to go to school, Mad?” Maddy looked to Jack and then back to Deb.
“Can Daddy take me to school?” Deb glanced up to Jack, who tried to hide his smile behind his coffee mug, then back to Maddy.
“Does he know how to get to your school?” Deb asked with a smirk. Jack made a face and leaned forward.
“That’s where they keep the firetrucks, right?” he asked Maddy with a wink.
“Go,” she said, pointing to the door. Jack made a face as Maddy got down from her chair and went to find her backpack. Jack picked up his coffee mug and moved around the counter, meeting Deb at the sink. “Not even on vacation for an hour and already a troublemaker,” she said with a frown.
“You love me.” Deb tried not to smile, but that smile and those baby blues killed her every time.
