What does きます mean here? Also I'd like a translation for this sentence.
女の子達は両親に朝御飯を持ってきます。

3持ってくる｛もっている｝ is often considered its own verb meaning "to bring." Please see the following for a better treatment of how ～てくる and ～ていく affect verb meaning in general: http://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/676/difference-between-%e3%81%a6%e3%81%84%e3%81%8f-and-%e3%81%a6%e3%81%8f%e3%82%8b – G-Cam Oct 06 '16 at 16:28

2Another useful post that explains ～てくる and ～ていく in the past.http://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/25505/whats-the-difference-between-%e6%ad%a9%e3%82%93%e3%81%a7%e3%81%84%e3%81%a3%e3%81%9f-and-%e6%ad%a9%e3%82%93%e3%81%a7%e3%81%8d%e3%81%9f/25564#25564 – G-Cam Oct 07 '16 at 14:32

持って来ます is some sort of compound verb, and as many of these verbs it is best understood when reading it's conforming verbs in sequence.
- 持って来ます.
- 持つ & 来る.
- take/have & come.
- Finally we understand it is the transitive verb: to bring.(because you take something and come someplace)
There are a lot of this kind of words and you can even make your own as needed:
て-verb1 + verb2.
e.g. 傘を忘れて出かけました。 I forgot my umbrella and left(without it).

きます comes from the verb 来る (to come).
女の子達は両親に朝御飯を持ってきます。
= The girls will come and bring breakfast to the parents.
