CJ woke slowly, blinking at the light filtering in through the curtains. She reached out her hand to where Andi had been and found the bed empty. She sat up and looked around to find Andi's satin dressing gown draped over the chair next to her with a note on top.

For you. I'm up with the kids.

CJ smiled and slid out of the bed and into the bathrobe. Opening the door she smelled coffee and entered the kitchen with a shy smile. Andi was sitting at the counter sipping coffee and watching the kids colouring with crayons with a content look on her face. When she noticed CJ she winked and patted the seat beside her, getting up to pour another cup of coffee.

It was Huck who noticed her presence first. "CJ!"

CJ sat down at the counter. "Good morning."

"Why are you here so early?" He questioned, putting down his crayon.

Andi came back to sit beside CJ and squeezed her hand under the counter. "CJ and Mommy had a sleepover."

Huck's eyes widened. "Really?"

Andi nodded. "And because CJ's here this morning, we get a special treat."

Molly looked up at this. "A treat?"

Andi nodded and CJ smothered a chuckle at the wide-eyed excitement of the two kids.

"What is it?" Huck burst out.

"Pancakes." Andi informed him. Both children's faces lit up.

"They're my favourite." Molly informed CJ soberly.

"Mine too." CJ stage-whispered, causing Molly to smile.

"So…" Andi continued "I think you two should colour with CJ while Mommy makes the pancake mix. Okay?" A dark and red head nodded eagerly. Huck slid a picture across the table and pushed the crayons more into the middle while CJ made her way over.

"What colour should I make the lion's mane?" CJ pondered out loud.

"Purple!" Molly decided, handing her the purple crayon.

CJ started colouring.

Half an hour later they all sat down to a pancake breakfast. The kids finished quickly before being excused to go watch a movie while Andi and CJ finished at a more leisurely pace, CJ more than slightly distracted from her meal by Andi's hand on her thigh, under the dressing gown. "Want to join me in the shower?" Andi questioned murmured into her ear when they were both finished. CJ looked over. Both kids were absorbed by the film. She nodded. Andi grinned. "Kids?"

Molly looked over. "Yes?"

"I'm going to have a shower, okay?"

Molly nodded and turned back to the movie. "They'll be okay?" CJ questioned.

"Yeah." Andi stood and offered a hand, which CJ took. They were barely inside the bedroom when Andi started kissing her. This chain of events meant that they ended up on the bed instead of in the bathroom. CJ slid her hands under the satin of Andi's pyjamas, exploring her body while pinning Andi beneath her. Andi undid her bathrobe and pulled CJ down to kiss her.

"We should probably stop." CJ pointed out, making the remark invalid by sliding off Andi's pants.

"We should." Andi agreed. "We have all that showering to do after all."

"Yes, with the soap and the shampoo…" CJ trailed off to nibble Andi's neck gently.

"Mmm." Andi sighed and kissed CJ regretfully. "Really, though. I shouldn't leave them alone for too long."

CJ smiled, kissed her one more time, and then climbed off.
