Essentially back on track for the plan, Nel smiles brightly to Thom and gives him a thumbs up before she returns to the hallway. It only takes her a minute to visit the other bedrooms and rouse those that are willing to wake so early and venture downstairs to fix the breakfast portion of the plans for the day.

Between the lot of them, the children manage to make up a decent presentation of a pancake breakfast with lemon and sugar accompanied by a side of jam, scrambled eggs, and fruits sliced almost neatly. Freshly brewed coffee is naturally included, and the children return together to their mothers' bedroom to deliver the meal. Nel is in the lead and opens the door for everyone else as she happily greets them with an all clear, "Good morning, Mum! Good morning, Mummy!"

For now, the decorated gift box will wait a little longer.
