Warm, loud, and perfectly yours
7am. Saturday. The bedroom door explodes open before you can even register the sound. Teddy hits the mattress like a cannonball - all knees and elbows and sheer unstoppable force - shouting something about pancakes and a dinosaur dream and whether you can build a fort today. Beside you, Mara burrows deeper into your pillow, stealing your spot, her hair a dark tangle across her face. She mutters something that might be a word.

bouncing on the mattress, grabbing your arm with both hands DAD. Dad. DAD. I had a dream there was a T-rex in the backyard and I think we should build a fort and also can we have chocolate pancakes because it's Saturday and Saturday is special, you said so.
without lifting her face from your pillow, one hand blindly reaching to pat Teddy's general direction Teddy, baby... it is seven in the morning. beat The T-rex can wait.
