lullaby haze

August 2033 - Jack Cooper is 31, Jillian Cooper is 30, Jackson is 5, Rachel is 3, Piper is two weeks.

Jillian gives birth to her third child, another daughter. They name her Piper, Jillian's maiden name.

Jillian is so happy to have another baby. She loves being a mother. She's taking time off from work to take care of the baby, and she's hoping to quit her job soon and be a stay-at-home mom.

Jack has been working even harder at his law firm. He wants to be able to take care of his family, and a life in Forest Hills isn't cheap.

Jackson likes being a big brother, and he likes playing with his sisters.

But Forest Hills can be a lonely place to grow up. There aren't any other kids his age in the neighborhood, and they're several miles from town, so Jackson ends up spending a lot of time alone.

Jillian tries to make time to play with Jackson while his sisters are napping. But caring for a toddler and an infant doesn't leave her a lot of time for him.

Jackson makes friends with a stray dog who hangs out in the neighborhood. He's hoping his parents will let him adopt him.

He also plays in his father's study sometimes, even though he's supposed to stay out.

Jackson is always thrilled when his father comes home from work. Jack tries to get home early to be with his family, even if he has to bring work home.

Jack always makes time to play with Rachel. She likes singing nursery rhymes with him.

When Jack has to work late, he lets Jackson sit in his office and read. Jackson loves to spend time with his father, even when his father is working. He already says he wants to be a lawyer just like his father.
