“Lana!” Robin called up the stairs. “Jake is here for your play date.” She looked over at Elizabeth and her son, standing in the entryway. “She’s been looking forward to this for days. I think she misses him not being in pre-school with her.” Robin looked down at Jake. “How are you liking kindergarten, Jake?”
“It’s fun,” the little boy answered. He made a face. “I don’t like the uniforms, though.”
Robin and Elizabeth laughed, and Elizabeth reached down to ruffle her son’s hair. “And yet, you used to love them when you saw your big brother in them,” she teased gently.
“Aw, Mom,” Jake started to whine, when he spotted Lana on the stairs. “Hi!” He said eagerly.
“Hi,” Lana replied shyly. She came to stand in front of Robin, and Lana and Jake looked at each other silently.
Robin and Elizabeth traded amused glances over their children’s heads. Elizabeth pushed Jake forward gently, and said, “Alright, well I’m going to be late for my shift. Robin, Lucky or Maxie will be by to pick him up at six, okay?”
Robin nodded. “Perfect. Bye Elizabeth.” She looked down at the children in front of her. “You guys want to go play in the family room? I think Patrick left the race car track set up.”
“Okay!” The children ran off towards the family room.
With a parting smile, Elizabeth headed out the door, and Robin into the kitchen to get a snack ready for the kids.

In the family room, Lana and Jake set up the race cars on the track. Lana reached for the white car she always used, but Jake grabbed it from her.
“Hey,” Lana protested. “That one is mine.”
“I want to use it this time,” Jake said. He handed her the orange car he usually used. “Use this one instead.”
Lana made a face and grabbed for the white car. “No, I want to use the white one. I always use the white one.”
Jake held it over his head, frustratingly out of reach for Lana. “No. Didn’t your parents ever teach you to share?”
She frowned. “I’m going to tell my mom.” She started for the door, but Jake’s voice stopped her.
“I’ll trade you for it.”
She turned back, a suspicious look on her face. “What do you want?”
Jake smiled. “I’ll trade you the car for a kiss.”
“I’m not kissing you!” Lana protested.
Jake shrugged his shoulders. “Then I’m using the white car.” He turned back to the racetrack. “Are you coming to play?”
Lana hesitated in the door. “One kiss?”
Jake swiveled his head to face her. “One kiss.”
“Okay.” Lana walked towards Jake and quickly brushed her lips across his lips. While he sat stunned that she’d actually gone through with it, Lana grabbed the car out of his hand and turned her attention back to the track. She twisted her head around slightly. “Are you going to come race or not?”
Jake blinked. “Yeah,” he said slowly. He knelt down on the floor next to her, setting the orange car on the track next to the white one. He picked up the controller and looked sidelong at Lana. “Ready?”
“Ready,” she agreed. “Three, two, one…”
Both children activated their controllers and the cars sped off.
When Robin stuck her head into check on them, she saw the incredibly familiar sight of pair of dark haired children bent over the race car track. Satisfied that everything was normal, she headed back to the kitchen to get a snack ready for them.
Little did she know.
