"And how many rings does Saturn have?"

Harper asks as she faces her son.

"Seven!" Onyx says as he holds up four fingers.

"Yep. But seven is this many." Harper says as she holds up seven fingers.

Onyx looks at his own hands and tries to mimic his mother's. His eyebrows pull together as he looks at his fingers.

"Mommy, I can't do it." He drops his hands and she gasps.

"Yes, you can. We'll just try again. Do you want Mommy's help?"

"Yeah." He holds his hands up and leans over the center console.

Harper leans from the passenger seat and helps him position his fingers properly. He watches with a soft smile on his face.

"You're pretty, Mommy."

"Why, thank you, Bear. You're very handsome yourself."

Onyx grins, showing all of his teeth as he looks at his mother.

"All done. Seven."

"Seven." Onyx says as he looks at his fingers. "We see seven stars?"

"Tonight?"

"Mhm."

"We'll probably see more than seven stars tonight. The sky will be clear and there aren't any big city lights over here. So there will be lots and lots of stars in the sky."

Onyx gasps and claps his hands. "Yay."

He kneels on the driver's seat and looks out of the side window, as if willing the sun to hurry up and set already.

"Mommy, where's Daddy?"

"He's helping Grandpa Taylor set up the tent."

"He help Grandpa Taylor?"

"Yeah."

"Oh-! There he is!" Onyx puts his pointer finger against the window and shouts.

Yoongi smiles dramatically when he sees him.

"Sit back, baby. So when Daddy opens the door, you don't fall out."
