Bishop to Knight One (Diviner’s Game #1)

Matt

I’m slowly getting used to the schedule that Deejay keeps day-to-day. He wakes up at five and is in the kitchen by five-thirty, the twins usually wake up around six, breakfast is on the table by six-forty-five, and we leave the house by seven to get everyone to school on time. It’s hectic and rushed, but I’ve found a way I can help. Instead of taking me to school this morning, we’re at the DMV so I can get a driver’s license. I can take over dropping the kids off at and picking them up from school, which will alleviate the stress of having to get everyone ready to leave by seven am and open up the afternoon for him a bit.

I’ve already passed the written test, now we’re just waiting on the driving test. I’ve got Alex on my knee, playing with him and Cary while Deejay holds Eren. The twins were tired of sitting in their stroller, so we decided to bring them out while we wait.

Cary adores his new baby brothers. He’s completely accepted that this is his new family and he’s a big brother now. It’s kind of funny watching him with the twins because sometimes he does things that I recognize are his version of the things I’ve done for him. Right now, he’s smiling brightly, his aura a bright happy yellow, as he wipes away some kind of grunge on Alex’s hand reciting the words I’ve told him since he was a baby too.
