Eli grabbed his jacket and headed for the door. When he saw Karen and jumped and so did she. "What are you doing up?" He asked her whispering.
"What are you doing up so early?" Karen whispered back.
"Grace." He answered. "You?"
"Henry." She answered.
"The physical therapist?" Eli asked.
"Yeah." She answered.
"Um… why are we whispering?" He asked smiling.
"Because I thought you'd be asleep." She said talking in her normal tone.
"I thought you'd be asleep too." He also said normally.
They both laughed.
"I've got to…" Eli started to say.
"Tell Grace hi." She said.
He smiled. "Tell Henry that I'm watching him." He said and she laughed.
"I doubt he cares but thanks." She said and they left.
"Good morning." Jake said as Tiffany opened her eyes.
She covered her face with her hands. "I'm so not use to this." She said as she got out of bed and went to the sink
"I thought you liked to see me in the morning." He said shocked by her reaction.
"I do you know after I've woken up." She said as she splashed some water on her face.
"Sorry." He said getting out of bed. "You can wake up. I'm going to go get Maddie." He said as he left the room.
She sat down on the bed. "We can do this…" She said to herself trying to convince her self.
Eli's alarm went off and Grace hit it to the floor.
"I don't think that's helping the daylight go away." Eli said.
Grace chuckled lightly. "Got a better suggestion?"
"Yeah, get up and come to break fast with me." He said sitting on the bed and pulling the covers off her face.
"You know you're very annoying first in the morning." She said as she got out of bed.
"Sorry but I've been here for a long time and I've let you sleep as late as possible." He showed her the clock.
"I will get you for this. You know that?" She said getting her shoes.
"I know but good morning to you any way." He said as he walked over to her and gave her a kiss.
She smiled. "Good morning to you too." She said. "And before you say another word, I'm going to go and get ready for school because I know that if I don't leave know I never will." She said as she started to leave.
He smiled. "But…."
She walked back to him and kissed him. "but nothing because if I keep doing this someone will come up her and catch us someone like one of our parents." She said and started to walk off again.
"Grace…" He started to say.
She turned around. "what?"
"You look beautiful this morning." He said and walked past her to leave.
She just laughed lightly. "No one has ever said that to me before."
"Hey." Lily said as she drank some orange juice and Rick came in.
"Hey." He said as he kissed her. He looked around the kitchen. "I expected there to be some empty bowls out." He said.
"Sorry you're too late I already put them in the sink but if you're hungry then you can have some cereal." She suggested.
"There still some left?" He asked shocked.
"I didn't eat any cereal." She said "but I think Zoe did but check." She suggested.
"Great." He said as he opened the box and shook it. "There's none left." He said sadly.
"Sorry, I can try to pick up some." She said. "You want some orange juice? There's a little left." She said and handed into him.
"Thanks." He said as he went and got a glass and poured some. Then he went over to Lily. "You feeling ok?"
Grace came down stairs, took the glass, and drank it. "Good morning." She said smiling.
Rick just looked at her shocked. "That was mine." He said.
"Sorry but I bet there is some more." She said as she went out the garage.
"I'll get something on the way to work." He said as he gave her a kiss.
"Again I'm sorry." She said about to laugh.
"No you're not but it's ok." He said as he started to head out the door.
Eli and Grace came back in. "Dad, what's wrong?" Eli asked.
"There's no food." He mumbled.
"You should have gotten down here earlier. I had a bagel." He said.
"Any left?" Rick asked hoping.
"Jessie ate one and Lily and Grace ate the rest. Sorry." He said.
"So everyone keeps saying." Rick said mumbling and left.
Grace and Eli came in the door and looked at Lily. "He's not happy." Grace said.
"I know. Oh Eli can you get some things for me at the market if I give you a list?" Lily asked.
"Sure, but you have to give me money." Eli said and grabbed his keys. "Jessie, Zoe let's go!" He screamed.
Lily wrote something down real quick and handed into Eli. "Here and I'll go get you some money." She said and went to get her purse.
"What's the hurry?" Zoe asked as she came down.
"They want to be away from the parents." Jessie said smiling.
"In that case I'm going back upstairs." Zoe said as she started to head back up.
Lily came in. "I don't think so you have school. Here Eli that should be enough. Oh and Zoe is spending the day with Jake and the baby, Jessie is going to Karen's and Grace has an appointment with Faith." Lily said.
"Ok so one to the restaurant, one to nut house, one to the mother's and me to the market." Eli said smiling.
"Hey!" Grace said playfully hitting him. "I'm not going to a nut house."
"I know that but you belong in one." He said and ran out the door.
Lily just laughed.
