"Eli?" Grace asked as she woke up and did not see Eli next to her. She grabbed her robe and started to look around. "Eli?" She asked again. She noticed her closet was open. She headed to the closet. "Eli?" She asked once more.
Eli stepped out of the closet with his hands behind his back. "Um… Grace, good morning."
"Eli, what were you doing in my closet and what is behind your back?" Grace asked.
"Nothing…" Eli said.
"Eli…" She reached behind his back to try to grab what he had.
"Grace, please um…." He started to say.
"This is my dress." She said as she grabbed the bottom of her dress.
"Grace, I'm sorry." Eli said as he tried to pull the dress back.
"Eli, let go." Grace begged as she pulled the bottom of the dress again.
"Grace, I'll just put it back." He said as he pulled it again.
"Please let go." She begged again as she pulled it and then she heard it start to rip "Oh no, please no…" She said as Eli finally let go.
"I'm so sorry." Eli said as he watched her hold on to her dress, which was now in two pieces.
"I brought food." Judy said as she opened the door to Sam's apartment.
"Can I get up now?" Jamie asked as he looked at Sam.
"Fine as long as Judy doesn't slam the door." Sam said in pain.
"Have you tried any medication for the handover?" Judy said as she slammed the door.
"Yes, I have but nothing is helping." Sam said.
"Is there any food left?" Jamie asked Judy.
"A little enough for you but I'm guessing your father isn't hungry." Judy said as she handed the boxes to Jamie.
"You're right about that." Sam said.
"Why is the first box of donuts empty?" Jamie asked shocked.
"Because I got hungry on the way." Judy said.
"You ate a whole dozen donuts?" Jamie asked still shocked.
"You know I am pregnant and I'm feeding for two now." She told Jamie.
"To put it simply you're a pig?" Jamie asked.
"Jamie, you're already in a lot of trouble don't make it more." Sam screamed at Jamie.
"You know what I'm going to go and I'll leave food. Bye guys." Judy said as she walked out the door.
"Good morning ladies." Lily said as Jessie and Zoe came into the kitchen.
"Why is she so happy?" Jessie asked Zoe.
"Hormones, it must be hormones." Zoe mumbled tried as she sat down at the table next to Jessie.
"I heard that and we need to talk." Lily said as she handed them both a bowl of oatmeal.
"I don't eat this." Jessie said as Lily put the oatmeal in front of her.
"And I don't care." Lily said as she headed into the living room. "Rick!" She screamed up stairs.
"What is her problem?" Jessie asked as she looked at the oatmeal with distaste.
"Hormones, it must be hormones." Zoe said again as she took a bite out of her oatmeal and then spit it back out.
"I'm down, what's the problem?" Rick asked as he came into the kitchen.
"Sit down." Lily said as she also gave him a bowl of oatmeal.
"I don't eat this." Rick said.
"She doesn't care." Jessie said and Lily smiled.
"We as in all three of you and Grace and Eli when they come down are all going to talk." Lily said.
"Oh what fun." Jessie said sarcastically.
"Jessie!" Rick said in reply.
"So your head feel any better?" Zoe asked Rick.
"What?" Rick asked shocked that Zoe was asking him anything.
"Your hangover, you know most men who have hangovers can't stand loud noises. How about we test that theory?" Zoe asked smiling.
"That's it I'm getting out of here and going back to bed." Rick said getting up.
"Get away from me!" Grace screamed as she came in followed by Eli.
"I've already told you I'm sorry. Do you want me to get you a new dress?" Eli asked.
"No, I want you to travel back in time and make yourself not rip my dress!" Grace screamed at him.
"What's going on?" Rick asked confused.
"That's what I'd like to know." Lily said entering the kitchen.
"Mom, he ripped my brand new dress." Grace said going over to her.
"Why did you do that?" Rick asked Eli.
"I didn't mean to, seriously I didn't mean to." Eli said.
"Grace maybe I can fix it." Lily offered.
"I don't know…" Grace said a little hesitant.
"I promise I'll make it look good." Lily promised.
"Ok, I guess. Here it is." Grace said as she handed in to Lily.
"You did that?" Rick asked Eli.
"Yes, that's my work." Eli said sadly.
"Oh shut up you two." Grace said as she stormed out of the kitchen.
"Good job, Eli!" Zoe said smiling.
"Zoe!" Lily screamed.
"What? I couldn't of done a better job myself." Zoe said smiling.
"Zoe go get ready for school now!" Lily screamed.
"Yes ma!" Zoe said as she marched up stairs.
"What are you smiling about?" Lily asked Jessie mad.
"Nothing, nothing at all." She said as she started to get up and leave.
Then Lily turned to Rick and Eli. "What are you going to do about this?" She asked as she held up the dress.
"Come Eli, let's talk." Rick said as she brought Eli into the living room but grabbed a beer first.
"Do you really think you should be drinking that?" Eli asked smiling as Rick took a big gulp.
"This is my second one, it numbs the pain any way."
Eli laughed. "Yeah right. So can I borrow a credit card?"
"Why?" Rick asked.
"To buy a dress for Grace." Eli said.
"Sure, why not." Rick said as he took another sip.
"Which one?" Eli asked.
"Here take this." He said as he handed him his wallet.
"Thanks, I think." Eli said as he took it.
"No problem." Rick said as he took another sip.
"Zoe, Jessie! Come on! I'm ready to go!" Grace screamed as she came back into the house.
"Grace…." Eli started to say.
"Zoe, Jessie! I'm about to leave you!" She said ignoring Eli.
Zoe and Jessie came down. "Man, you made her mad." Zoe said to Eli.
"I wish I could take credit for it." Jessie said to Eli as she ran out the house.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Henry asked.
"Is it really morning this time?" She asked drowsy.
"Yes, it is. It's about the time that you would be at work." Henry said as he got up.
"What are you doing?" She asked questionable.
"I'm getting your meds for you." He said as he handed her two pills. "You need to take these every two hours so drink up." He said as he handed her a glass of water.
"You take such good care of me." She said smiling.
"But like a boyfriend not a doctor right?" He asked.
"Yes like a boyfriend." She gulped down the pills. "Will this put me to sleep again?"
"Not right away but it will make you a little drowsy. So no operating heavy machinery, ok?
