Josie awoke slowly and was surprised when she didn't immediately feel the consequences of her drunk night. She laid her head back down and looked out of the corner of her eye to see what she was laying on. All she saw was dark green. She looked the other direction. She was laying on Heero. He had an arm wrapped around her and was holding her close to him while he slept. His other arm was slung around Adam who was sleeping against him.
Josie smiled at the cute picture. 'It's like we're a real family,' She thought happily. 'If we were a family, we could have a million moments just like this.' She reached out and stroked back Adam's hair with a practiced hand. He looked so much like his father. Same Prussian blue eyes. Same messy brown hair. 'Speaking of father.' Josie glanced up at Heero. It was the first time she had ever seen him asleep. He looked so peaceful. She hesitantly put a finger to his face and lightly traced his jaw line down to his chin, down the valley between his chin and lips, and finally, over his bottom lip. She placed the same finger to her own lips and kissed it before returning it to his again. She let her hand drop down to her side as though it had suddenly died.
'You're not a family,' Her mind reminded Josie truthfully. Adam stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes groggily. Josie watched him with amused eyes. These were the special moments in life, watching your child awake from sleep. She was tempted to wake Heero just so he could share the moment with her, but she was selfish and kept it to herself.
"Awake, baby?" She asked softly.
Adam smiled cutely and nodded his head. He was then aware that he was laying against his father and scooted closer. He hugged Heero though his tiny arms couldn't fit all the way around his dad. Heero's arms tightened around both Josie and Adam, pulling them closer to him. Josie tried to contain a giggle though it wasn't a very good try. She too hugged Heero. Heero's lips curved into a smile, and he finally opened his blue eyes. He stretched all up his spine before settling back down. "What a way to wake up," He murmured.
"Ain't it the truth?" Josie smiled up at Heero who in turn looked back down at her.
"Feeling better, Jos?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, I don't know how, but I am."
"Dad gave you something!" Adam explained, happy that he was helping.
Josie looked up at Heero with question. Heero shrugged modestly. "Just some Pepto-bismal and Aspirin."
"Well, thank you," Josie said gratefully. "Hee-kun," She added with a grin. Heero rolled his eyes at the nickname though he was smiling. Josie got up before she felt too comfortable and stretched lazily. "How bout some breakfast?"
"Why don't I take you both out for breakfast?" Heero suggested.
"Oh! I wanna go!" Adam agreed.
"Are you sure?" Josie asked Heero.
"Of course."
"Well, go get dressed," Josie told Adam. "I'll go do the same. We can stop by your house if you want to get changed too."
"I'll just run and get changed while you guys are getting dressed and come back and pick you both up."
"Sounds like a plan," Josie agreed as she walked with Heero to the door and let him out. She then went back to her room and practically threw all her clothes out onto her bed. 'What to wear, what to wear?' She looked over all her clothes, mentally putting outfits together to see what she wanted. She picked out her usual jeans and a T-shirt, fixed her hair, and did her makeup to perfection. She looked at herself from all angles in her mirror. 'Good enough.'
"Adam? Are you ready honey?" She called out as she put on her usual jewelry and walked into the hall. Adam ran out of his room and to his mother. "Someone's in a good mood," Josie commented as she kissed his forehead. Adam nodded his head excitedly. Josie smiled and led them outside to wait for Heero, grabbing her keys on the way out. She closed and locked the door behind them. Adam sat on the porch step, and Josie settled herself next to him.
About five minutes later, Heero drove up on his motorcycle, changed. He cut the engine and got off the bike, pulling off his helmet as he did so. Josie and Adam stood up and walked over to him.
"Took you long enough," Josie teased.
Heero smiled in return. "We better go in your car." Josie nodded and went to open the car door on the driver's side. "Wait!" Josie looked up surprised. "Maybe I should drive. From what I remember you're a hazard behind the wheel," Heero suggested while unable to hide a smirk. Josie pushed the keys into his chest playfully, smirking herself.
"Fine, Mr. Yuy," She said as she walked around to the other side. Adam had meanwhile made himself comfortable in the backseat. They all got situated before pulling out of the driveway and driving off to breakfast at Denny's.
The waitress led them to a booth and laid out their menus. Adam scooted in first.
"Ladies first," Heero said as he swept his arm towards the booth. Josie smiled and scooted in second, followed by Heero. They were both just messing around with each other. Adam stood the menu up on the table and looked over it.
"Mom?" He asked, but Josie pointed to the kid's meals before he could say anything further. The waitress returned and took their drink orders.
"So," Josie began as she faced Heero slightly, "how has every little thing been?"
"Every little thing?" Heero repeated. Josie nodded. "Same as always." He snuck a secret glance at Josie.
"Aww, same ole humdrum life, huh? Sorry to hear that."
Heero shrugged. "That's life."
"Doesn't have to be," Josie murmured. Heero caught it but didn't ask about it.
An awkward silence fell between them. "Why don't you go wash your hands?" Josie suggested to Adam. He sighed heavily but obeyed and scampered off to the bathroom.
Josie sat for awhile, though knowing she had but little time. Words were such awkward things! "Why did you come yesterday?"
Heero looked up. "Huh?"
"Yesterday, why did you come?"
"Adam called . . . said you were really sick," Heero smiled slightly, "said you were throwing up."
"So you came?"
"Of course," Heero answered slowly, looking at the design on the table.
"Even after what I said to you?" Josie asked in disbelief.
"After you said what?"
"The whole I'll kill you thing," Josie answered though she hated to bring it back up.
"Oh . . . I knew you were just mad."
The awkward silence fell over them again. "I'm real sorry about that. I was just-" Josie laughed uneasily. "I was just angry."
Heero nodded. "I understand."
"Truce?" She asked.
"Truce," Heero agreed.
Adam half-walked, half-ran back to the table and scooted back in next to his mother. The waitress also returned with their drinks and took their orders. It turned out to be a nice breakfast with the three of them, just talking and learning more about each other. 'Just like a family,' Josie thought dreamily.
