Kim woke up, confused that it was still dark. She looked at her nightstand to see that it was only two in the morning; she had been asleep for hardly two hours. She decided to get up and get a glass of water and maybe watch some T.V. Walking into the kitchen, she heard noises. Jack, Kate, Tony and Michelle were sitting around the living room, laughing and drinking.

"What are you guys still doing her," she asked, squinting in the bright light, her hair disheveled.

"Well look whose up," Jack said.

Kim could tell he was drunk, and looking around, she noticed that they all seemed tipsy.

"Are you guys drunk?" she asked.

"Just a little," Michelle said, giggling.

Kim laughed. She walked into the kitchen and got herself a glass of water.

"What are you doing up anyway, sweetie?" Jack asked.

"Couldn't sleep," she said, "But I think I'll let you guys get back to your drinking."

She turned to leave.

"Goodnight again," Kate called after her.

Kim shook her head, laughing and held up a hand in goodbye without even turning her face around.

In the morning, Kim went into the kitchen and got some orange juice. She started to make pancakes when Kate walked in.

"Morning Kate," Kim said.

"Oh, hi Kim," she said, squinting and putting her hand to her head.

"I suppose you're gonna need some Advil this morning," Kim said, laughing.

"Definitely," she said laughing, "Oh, and Michelle and I were wondering if you wanted to have lunch out with us today?"

"Yeah, that'd be fun," Kim said.

"Good," she said, grabbing pancakes.

The phone rang.

"Hello?" Kim said into the phone.

"Hey," came Chase's voice.

"Hey you," said Kim, grinning.

Kim saw Kate smile out of the corner of her eye.

"So, we on for dinner tonight?" Chase asked her.

"Yeah. What time?"

"I'll pick you up at 7:30, okay?"

"Okay," Kim said, smiling.

"I love you," Chase said.

"Love you too," Kim said, hanging up the phone.

Kate allowed Kim a moment.

"Look at you, so in love," she said in a teasing voice.

"Aw, shut up Kate," Kim said with a smile.

"Do I smell pancakes?" Jack asked, walking into the kitchen in his boxers and a t-shirt.

"Good morning," Kim said cheerfully to her dad.

He walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead, next going over and kissing Kate briefly on the lips, and then continuing to the stove to grab pancakes.

"What are you doing today ladies?" he asked.

"Michelle, Kim and I are going to lunch," Kate said, grabbing plates for her and Jack as Kim had already eaten.

"And then I'm going out with Chase tonight," Kim said, pouring juice and just a little nervous her dad was going to bring up last night.

"Is that so?" he said, seemingly thinking.

"Yes, but don't worry, this time we'll make out at his place," she said with a humorous expression on her face, leaving the kitchen to get dressed.

Jack stared after her, mouth slightly open.

"It's like she wants me to go insane," he said, Kate putting her arms around his neck.

Kate giggled slightly. She understood that Jack was really protective of Kim, but also understood, as her, Michelle, and Kim had become closer friends lately, that Kim was frustrated with the fact that sometimes he was overprotective.

"Come on baby, lets eat some breakfast," she said turning him and leading him over to their waiting food.

Later that day, Kim, Michelle, and Kate were sitting in a nice Italian restaurant ordering food. Once they finished that, they started to gossip.

"So, how's it with Chase?" Michelle asked Kim.

She smiled slightly shyly

"Or maybe, we shouldn't even bother asking, Michelle. I mean, they looked like their relationship was getting along pretty well last night on the couch," Kate said, giggling with Michelle.

"Shut up, guys," Kim said, laughing as well.

"No but really," Kate said, stopping laughing.

Michelle and Kate waited patiently for her response.

"Well, it's going pretty good. What do you want me to say?" Kim asked, chuckling.

"Well, have you guys, you know, slept together yet?" Kate asked, Michelle looking incredibly curious.

"No, we haven't yet," Kim said after a pause.

"No?" said Michelle.

"No," Kim confirmed, "But I think maybe tonight."

"Really?" Kate said with renewed interest.

"Why tonight?" Michelle asked.

"Because we've waited long enough," she said with a smile.

"Damn," Kate said, giggling, "you little tease."

They all laughed, and Kim hit her on the arm.

"What about you, Kate?" said Michelle.

"What about me?" asked Kate.

"Well, how's the relationship going?" Michelle asked.

"Good, Jack is so great," Kate said.

"Oh, please guys, he's my dad," Kim said.

"But also very sexy," said Kate, smiling.

"Eww, my dad is not sexy."

"Yes he is," said Kate.

"Absolutely," agreed Michelle, "But don't tell Tony I said so."

She smiled at the thought of Tony.

"How long have you guys been married now?" Kim asked.

"Almost a year and a half," Michelle said, grinning widely.

"And you're still smitten," said Kate, shaking her head and laughing.

"Is Tony romantic? I've always kinda wondered," said Kim, Kate looking very interested.

"Oh yes," Michelle said, looking down with a huge smile on her face, "More than you'd think."

"Example?" asked Kate.

"For our anniversary he took me to the restaurant we went to on our first date, and when I got home there were candles and roses everywhere," she said, grinning at the memory.

"Oh, very sweet," said Kim.

"What about Chase, is he romantic?" asked Michelle.

Kim paused, thinking hard.

"Yes, I mean, he is, but we haven't actually done anything incredibly romantic yet. But for some reason, he's able to make it unbelievably romantic, even if we're just walking around or doing something that is so not what you would think of as romantic. Does that make sense?"

"Yes," said Kate.

Right then their food came. They continued to chat for awhile about random things.

"Kim," Michelle said.

"Yeah," said Kim in between mouthfuls of her pasta.

"Do you have anything to wear tonight? I think a shopping trip might be in order."

Kim smiled at her.

"I agree," said Kate, "Whataya say we ditch the boys for the rest of the day, and go shopping."

"Sounds good to me," said Kim.

Michelle nodded her head in agreement. Once they had finished their meals they paid and left, heading out to fill the rest of the day with shopping.
