Debra is sitting at the kitchen table reading a magazine when Marie comes in the back door.

"Hello dear," she says to Debra.

"Oh hey Marie," Debra replies as she looks up from her magazine.

"How are you feeling today?" she asks.

"I'm fine," Debra says, wondering how far Marie is going to take this.

"You seemed pretty sick when Raymond took you to the doctor's the other day," she says. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"

Debra puts down her magazine and looks up at Marie.

"Uh…Marie, really," she begins. "I'm fine. The doctor said that I just had a touch of the stomach flu and I'm feeling fine today so no problem!"

"Well alright dear," Marie replies. "Just so long as you're ok."

"I'm fine," Debra says as she gives Marie a smile. "Thanks though."

"What are mothers for?" Marie asks. "Right?"

"Right," Debra replies, still smiling.

"Well, I should really go make Frank something for lunch, you know what he gets like if he's not fed every two hours." Marie says.

"I do," Debra says laughing. "I definitely know."

"What's so funny?" Marie asks her.

"No," she says quickly. "It's nothing."

"Ok, well you're welcome to join us if you want." Marie tells her. "There's always plenty to go around, you should have some good food in your condition."

Debra looks as though her heart stopped for a moment. Marie couldn't know.

"What do you mean?" she asks. "In what condition?"

"Well just getting over the stomach flu," she replies. "You don't want to put anything bad in your stomach for a while, you might get sick again."

"Oh," Debra says, trying to hide her sigh of relief. "Yeah, I guess you're right Marie."

"Of course I am dear." Marie replies.

"What are you making?" Debra asks.

"Ham and cheese sandwiches," she says. "Frank has been asking for one all day."

Debra just couldn't resist, she'd been craving one of those all day, and she didn't want to wait until Ray got home to have him go to the deli and get one for her. Marie's cooking would be the next best thing.

"Maybe I will take you up on your offer Marie," Debra tells her, smiling. "Thank you."
