ALWAYS PROTECT YOU
The Bridgertons had always been known for their rather unique family traditions. Whether that was naming children in alphabetical order, or the entire family sitting at the same dinner table . . . or even the involvement of both mother and father in the raising of the child. There were a great many reasons the Bridgertons stood out amongst others, and as each of them got married, these traditions carried on. Daphne had already started naming her children starting from A, and Anthony . . . well, he took after his father. And in doing so, celebrated a tradition that his father had taught him. One day in the year was designated to appreciating their mother. Anthony had fond memories of him and Benedict making gifts and surprising their mother with them, organized by Edmund of course. In fact, today there was a very strong familiarity in the scenario indeed.
Edmund was at the age of five and Miles, at the age of three -- both of them having the same age gap as Anthony and Benedict have. And they had just prepared breakfast for their mother. Serving food in bed was something quite unheard of but Anthony and Benedict had once done it for Violet, and she had seemed rather pleased and excited by it. He wished to do the same for Kate, for she more than deserved it, and of course, allowing the children to be as involved as possible. So in doing so, Anthony had woken up a little early and he and the children had prepared breakfast for Kate. The kitchen staff were a bit surprised by this, constantly offering to make something and serve something but . . . there was sentiment attached when it came from family. Yes, unique traditions indeed.
"I can carry it Papa!" Edmund exclaimed excitedly, reaching out for the tray that contained the toast, fruits and other enjoyable breakfast items. The boys had even gone to the garden to pick some flowers which were placed in a vase in the middle of the tray. Anthony carefully handed it to Edmund, watching him as he seemed to have a decent grip on it. "I wanna carry!" Miles stated jumping up and down in his eagerness to help. Anthony took the tray of tea and teacups, hunching over a little bit so that Miles could at least touch one side of it to make him feel as if he was carrying the load.
"Alright, come. But we must walk carefully, and quietly," Anthony added, his voice dropping to a whisper. Miles placed a finger to his lips, adding to it by saying "Sshhhhh." While Edmund just nodded excitedly. Making the careful walk to the bedroom, Anthony paused at the door looking at both his sons as they were nearly bursting with excitement. Anthony motioned with his head for Miles to open the door for them and their youngest son pushed it open while Edmund hurried inside as well and Anthony following as they exclaimed in unison "Surprise!"
