"Lance, Hunk, Keith, Pidge! Come on guys, I have to get you to school. You don't miss your first day, do you?" Shiro laughed at the sudden pounding of eight tiny feet coming down the stairs.

The first child down was Pidge. She was the smallest of the four, with dirty- blonde hair and round rimmed glasses framing her honey-brown eyes. Her green hoodie was a bit big on her, but she wouldn't really wear anything else. As the most eager to get to school, she was hopping all over the place, chattering on and on about the new things she would learn.

Keith was next, sprinting down the steps with his odd raven black mullet (he refused to get a different haircut) bouncing behind him. With black shorts, a red jacket and a grey t-shirt, he was ready for the day.

Lance ran beside him, racing to Shiro's side for some help with the button on his jeans. He hadn't put on his jacket yet, and when he raised his arms to be picked up, his tan belly was visible underneath the blue shirt. Lance had short, dark brown hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled with mischief.

Last but not least was Hunk, the chubby little boy with his dark, shaggy hair held by a yellow bandanna. He was definitely the sweetest child in the house, happy to give cuddles to anyone.

After tugging Lance's hoodie into place, Shiro thought they were ready to go, until a voice came from behind him.

"I think you're forgetting a few things." Allura stood with her hands on her hips, long silver hair done up in a bun and sapphire eyes shining.

Shiro looked down to see four small back-packs sitting by her feet.

"I am so glad I have you." He said, giving her a side hug and a kiss on the cheek (as Lance was in the other arm).

"You better be." She joked, before giving each of their adopted children a kiss on the cheek. "I packed lunches for them, too."

"Yay!" Hunk yelled, clapping his hands together.

"Let's get out to the car, guys. Say 'bye-bye' to Allura."

"Bye, 'Loowa! Wuv you!" Lance said, sparking similar comments from the others as they grabbed their bags and gave her one last hug.

"I love you too, but are you four sure you took care of everything?" A small smile graced her gentle features. "I know you all ate breakfast, and I watched you brush your teeth, but does anybody have to go potty before you leave?"

They shook their heads.

"Well then let's get going." Shiro lifted Pidge off of the ground and sat her against his hip, opposite Lance.

Soon enough, they were out in the van; Hunk and Lance in their car-seats in the back, Keith and Pidge in the middle.

"Everyone excited for Pre-school?" Shiro asked as he started the engine.

A chorus of excited cheers came from the back seats, and he smiled.
