Why can't they last?~~~ -Barbra Streisand- Samantha's POV: "Be careful, Cali." I got up to follow my daughter when she opened the door to my room and excitedly ran outside. She wanted to eat banana pancakes and when I said yes, her eyes lit up with excitement.
"Hey, good morning to our pretty Cali." Rory greeted her and Cali greeted her back.
I just couldn't help but smile as she continued her greetings into storytelling.
"Good morning, Rory. Guess what?" "What? What is it?" Rory asked confused.

"Yeah, and I told her to put maple syrup to make it tastier... and... and... she will also make ahm... apple juice for me." "Ohh---" "And of course, I also want scrambled eggs and a chicken sandwich." "Whoa! You have a big appetite this morning, young lady." Rory and I chuckled when Cali nodded.
"Con, let's go, mommy. I'll help you cook pancakes and eggs." She took my hand and pulledtowards the kitchen.
But I was stopped entering the kitchen when I saw Luke inside the counter. He's wearing an apron and cooking something while humming a song.
"Daddy?" Cali was the first to react and immediately ran to her father.
"Good morning, my ladies." Did I hear it right? Did he just say 'my ladies'? He welcomed his daughter with a tight hug and peppered her loud kisses all over her face, which made the little girl giggle while I just took a deep breath and walked in their direction.
"Good morning, my princess. How was your sleep?" Luke lifted her and made her seat on the counter.
"It was good, daddy. Hmm... but where were you yesterday? You promisedthat you would cwithto our school event!" "Ow! I'm sorry, baby if daddy didn't keep his promise. There's just something that cup in the office yesterday, so I didn't get to your school, I'm sorry." "Is it true that you were in a meeting, so you weren't able to answer your phone, daddy?" "Yes, I was in a very important meeting, so I couldn't answer your mommy's call. I'm sorry." I decided to make an apple juice while waiting for him to finish explaining to his daughter. And as I opened the fridge, I glanced at the wall clock hanging right aboveand got confused as he still here and not preparing to go to work. "Okay, I forgive you, daddy." and he kissed her forehead.
I mentally rolled my eyes.
"But I'll make it to you this time. I've cooked banana pancakes and scrambled eggs." "Wow! I like them! That's what I told mommy to cook forfor breakfast. Yey!" Yeah, she's right, but how did Luke know about it? "Really?" He asked surprised.
"Yup, you can ask mommy about it." I thought they were the only ones talking, so I suddenly held my breath when he caughtstaring at him. "Is that true, mommy?" I had to force a smile and nodded at him as my daughter also waited for my answer, even though my heart was still pounding due to his intense stares.

"And after having breakfast you have to get ready because I have a surprise for you." "Really, daddy?" "Yup!" "Ahm... don't you have work today? It's already 8:00 in the morning." I asked him, placing the pitcher over the table.
He used to go to work before seven in the morning, so that means he's already late for work.
He put Cali down first before answering my question.
"I told my secretary to cancel all my meetings and appointments for today and for the next two days." I was stopped from bringing the glass to my mouth when I heard what he said.
And maybe he heard the silent question in my head as he answered it already.
"I want to be with my family." I gulped.
"I will also take two weeks of vacation leave." This tI arched an eyebrow, looking at him in confusion. Why would he take a vacation leave? What is he planning to do? "Why? Are you thinking of going somewhere?" "Yes, I'm thinking of going somewhere with you... (my mouth hung open) "... and Cali. This tI want to make it with you guys." "You don't have to do it---"
