The Legacy Continues

Ruby had finished a few pancakes when her fiance and daughter came in. Though she didn’t notice that they were there since she was in the process of flipping a pancake. It almost didn’t make it back in the pan, which made the mother quite relieved. “That was a close one…” She let out a sigh before hearing laughter behind her. Said laughter was coming from Jamie. Turning around, a pout set on Ruby’s lips “‘ey don’t laugh—!” And the expression only served to make the child laugh more. Sighing once more, she turned back to the stove and continued making pancakes and let out a small giggle of her own. Okay it was a bit funny. Just a bit.

Skyler could only smile, laughing under his breath at Ruby's reaction to Jamie's laughter. "Alright, alright... Here you go, Sunshine." He went over and put her in her high chair, humming softly. "You want a toy while you wait for breakfast?" It looked like it would take a bit longer before Ruby was finished with the pancakes... Hopefully Jamie could be patient.

As he watched and listened to his daughter giggle and reach for him, Skyler actually found himself...content. It was moments like these that made him glad for everything. Even if he didn't become a Keyblade Master like his father, he would be happy to just be a father and husband here. "Alrighty then!" The brunette lifted Jamie from her bed, booping her on the nose before carrying her into the kitchen.

He gave another laugh, though he did stop at his daughter's request. "You ready to get up now, Sunshine?" Skyler waited until she got out from under the sheets, ruffling her hair a bit. "Come on, Mommy's making pancakes for breakfast. We'll be going to the beach today, too~."

"Here comes the tickle monster!" The sheets wouldn't help at all. He still poked and tickled her underneath them, going at her sides with a laugh. "Rawr~!" He wasn't going to give up any time soon, either.

Meanwhile, Jamie was still sleeping until her father poked at her stomach. Blue hues opened halfway and the child let out a yawn. “Nooo…” And then she turned over, hugging the paopu fruit plushie close and closing her eyes again. Looks like she was taking after her dad. She wasn’t ready to get up just yet.

He couldn't help but give out a chuckle, his hands resting on his hips. "Come on now. Mommy made Daddy get up. You gotta get up, too!" There was a mischevious look in his eyes, leaning over Jamie with his hands outstretched. "If you don't, the tickle monster's gonna get ya~." He was wiggling his fingers, grinning down on Jamie. "The only way to escape is to get up and eat chocolate chip pancakes!"

A giggle escaped her lips when she saw her fiance pout. He was adorable. “Doesn’t matter if it ain’t fair~” If he wanted the pancakes, he had to move. Once he did so, she got up from the bed and stretched her arms up before going to sit beside Skyler. “That sounds good. She’ll enjoy that for sure.” She nodded before leaning over to connect their lips. It was a short, but sweet kiss. She pecked his nose then stood up. “Well time to get breakfast ready~’m trustin’ ya not to fall back asleep. If ya do, ya don’t get any pancakes.” She frowned at him, waving a finger threateningly at him. Though this expression only lasted a few seconds since a smile soon replaced it. “So stay awake!~” With that said, she walked out of the room and to the kitchen.

Once he was fully dressed, he wandered over to where their daughter was sleeping. "Good morning Sunshine," he said with hum in his voice, reaching down to poke her lightly in the belly. "You ready to get up?"

"Better move quickly if ya want those pancakes, dear~" And the kiss. But she kissed him a bunch anyways. Aa, this was so nice. Living together here. It was certainly different from Tennessee where she was born and grew up, but she loved it here. And of course even moreso since he was here with her fiance and her daughter.

It was funny just how warm the islands could be, no matter the season...

Her fiance really was something sometimes. Perhaps she could bribe him into getting up…But what to give him? “If ya get up, ‘ll make ya whatever ya want for breakfast.” Wonder if this would work. Hopefully it would. “And ‘ll give ya another kiss~” Though she would kiss him anyways so she wasn’t sure whether or not this would help.

Eventually Skyler lifted his head up, resting his chin on Ruby's chest with a yawn. "Well, that sounds more tempting than sleep right now," he said, a tired, but somewhat cocky, grin on his face. "Can they be your chocolate chip pancakes? Those are my favorite."

As the morning rays shone into the room, Ruby’s eyes slowly opened and she let out a soft yawn. As usual, her arms were wrapped around her fiance. Nuzzling into the other’s neck, she looked up to see he was still asleep. “Sky~It’s time to wake up.” She poked at his cheek for a few moments. Nothing. “Wakey wakey, sleepyheaaad~” She tried again, but still no luck. Then she got another idea. She leaned in to kiss him. This should work, right?

The poking and nudging had started to rouse him, but it was the kiss that actually got his eyes to open a bit. "...Nnn..?" He blinked a few times before he found himself smiling through the kiss, reaching up to push her onto her back. "Morning, Gem," he said with a small laugh, going to lie on top of her a bit. "Let's sleep a little bit more." Goddammit Skyler.
