7 years later:
Morning light spilled gently through the large kitchen windows, bathing the room in warm gold. The smell of pancakes and honey filled the air, mixing with the soft scent of coffee that Sebastian had made earlier. Our house had never been quiet since the kids were born, but there was something comforting about the noise now—the sound of life, of family.
Ryland's voice echoed from the living room before I even saw him. "Papa! Caspian cheated again!"
I sighed, though a smile tugged at my lips as I flipped another pancake on the pan. "Ryland, we talked about yelling across the house," I called back.
