Janet sighed as she rolled over in bed. A slow smile crossed her face when she saw Eddie laying next to her. She placed her head on his chest and ran her hand over his stomach.

"Hey," he smiled as his hand ran through her hair.

"Did I wake you?" she asked, looking up at him.

"No," he murmured as he bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"This is weird, right?" she asked, sitting up in bed and looking at him. "I mean, you and me, here, in this house. I mean, is this weird?"

"Weird how?" he asked, sitting up with her.

"I don't know," she heaved a sigh. "I mean, we have been together for a while and all…"

"Four months," he interrupted.

"For four mouths," she laughed. "But, we've only ever been 'together' at my place. And now? Here we are. In your house. A house you share with Physical Phil. You don't think it's weird?"

"I think you're weird," Eddie laughed, getting out of bed. "I am going to get up now and go for a run. And when you decide to drag yourself out of the comfort that is my bed," he smirked, "you can make your way downstairs and join Physical Phil. He'll be waiting for me to return so that I can make breakfast."

"There's breakfast in it for me? Why didn't you say so!" she laughed.

"It's Saturday. Pancake day. And me? I am the Pancake King," Eddie boasted as he pulled on a sweatshirt. "You are in for the meal of your life, Ms. Meadows," he proclaimed as he placed a kiss on her laughing lips.

Janet giggled as she watched him march out the door. She sighed and then began tearing through Eddie's drawers to find something to wear downstairs. She settled on a pair of sweatpants and the tank top she had on last night under her sweater. She stood in the doorway of Eddie's room, willing herself to make her way down the stairs. This was the first time she'd slept over Eddie's house. She had been with his friends and him at the bar, but other than that, it had just been the two of them. This was a step. It was a big step. It was important step.

And the only person she wanted to discuss the step with was Hannah. But, she and Hannah hadn't exactly been on the best of terms. Since the blow up between Eddie and Big Cat, Hannah and Janet had been more or less strangers. Hannah told her that she suspected that Sam's dad might not be Gavin Goddard. She didn't elaborate, though. And the conversation left Janet confused and wanting to be there for her best friend, but Hannah just became more closed off.

Janet took a deep breath and made her way down the stairs of Eddie's house. She was going to face the music.

"Hey there Janet," Physical Phil said as Janet made her way to the kitchen. "It's pancake day!"

"So I heard," Janet nodded her head with a smile. "Can I help with anything?"

"Don't touch anything," Physical Phil said, putting his arms up. "Eddie is the Pancake King. He doesn't like people to meddle with his breakfast process."

"Okay…" Janet shrugged and sat on a stool.

Just then Eddie came in with Owen and Nick. "Hey guys, look who I found?" he said, looking back at his two friends.

"It's Pancake Day!" Owen shouted, slapping Physical Phil five.

"Hey, Janet," Nick said, smiling at her.

"Yeah, hey Janet," Owen nodded in her direction.

"Hey guys," Janet smiled, feeling out of place.

Eddie came over to her and kissed her softly. "My sweats have never looked so good," he murmured in her ear.

Janet's cheeks blushed furiously.

"Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes," Phil, Owen and Nick began to chant.

"Your subjects await," Janet smiled and pushed Eddie away. "Get cooking! I want to taste these famous pancakes, your highness."

Janet's command was met with cheers and applause from the boys.

"Just sit yourself right down, little lady," Eddie smiled and led her to stool, "and watch me work!" Eddie winked at her as he kissed her cheek and reached for the flour. "People," he yelled, "give the king some room to work."

And with that, the boys went into inspect Physical Phil's new DVDs and Janet smiled at Eddie. "You're something, you know that?" she asked.

"You're something too," he laughed as he continued to mix his batter. "You okay?" he asked, looking over his shoulder.

Janet smiled and nodded. "I am."

"Is it still weird?" he asked.

"Yes," she admitted.

"Too weird?" he asked, turning back to his pancakes.

"Just weird enough," she smiled as she came behind him and rested her head on his back.

"I want you to feel comfortable with this, with us, with the guys," he murmured.

"I know," she smiled, wrapping her arms around his body. "I am."

"You are…what?" he asked, turning around after he put the last of the pancakes on the serving plate and turned of the syrup he had on the stove.

"I am…comfortable…with this," she looked up at him, questioningly. "Are you?"

"I am," he smiled down at her and placed his hands on her face and ran his thumbs over her cheeks. "For the first time in a while, I seem to be comfortable with things. And I guess I have you to thank for that Ms. Meadows."

"Really, Mr. Lateka," Janet giggled. "Do tell…"

Eddie kissed her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Um…sorry to break up this happy little bonding moment," Nick said clearing his throat.

"Then don't," Eddie growled, looking over Janet's shoulder at Nick.

"We're hungry," he whined. "And the pancakes and syrup are gonna get cold."

Eddie smiled at Janet and led her over to the stool. "Ladies first," he said. "The rest of you guys can come on in. The pancakes are served!"

The guys all sat around the table with Janet and laughed and joked and ate.

"Am I not the Pancake King?" Eddie asked Janet.

Everyone laughed and she nodded in agreement as the guys cheered.

Just then, the door opened. They all stopped laughing and stared and Hannah in Eddie and Phil's kitchen. "Uh, sorry, I knocked, but I guess no one heard me."

Owen had stood up when she walked in so she didn't see Janet sitting at the table.

"Hi Hannah," Nick stood up as well. "What's up?"

"I, uh, I need to talk to Eddie for a minute," Hannah smiled.

"Want some pancakes, Hannah?" Eddie asked.

"It'll just be a minute," Hannah sighed.

"We're eating," Eddie said.

"Just a minute, Eddie. In private," Hannah pressed.

"Well, let's give them a minute, shall we?" Owen suggested.

Everyone stood up and made their way out of the room and that's when Hannah saw Janet. "I didn't see you there," Hannah said.

"Yeah," Janet smiled. "Eddie, I'm gonna go get dressed. I have to work the afternoon shift at the bar."

"I'll be up in a minute," Eddie smiled at her and kissed her briefly as she passed him.

"Okay," Janet nodded and smiled. "Nice to see you, Hannah."

"Yeah, you too," Hannah nodded as she passed her.

Nick and Owen looked at Janet slowly climbing the stairs and then back at Physical Phil and then at Hannah and Eddie. "Sorry Phil," Owen said.

"We're bailing," Nick told him.

"I'm gonna go upstairs order a pizza or something," Phil told them.

"What do you think that's about in there?" Owen asked Nick as they were leaving. Nick looked back into the kitchen one last time before shutting the door.

"I don't know, O," Nick shook his head. "I want to know, I just don't yet."
