A/N: Silly little drivel before the action starts up again.

It was 10 AM July 15th, it was Don's Birthday and he was still asleep. Gia was downstairs making him breakfast in bed. She slid the ham and cheese omelet on a plate and added it to the tray that she had put together. Gia poured a hot cup of coffee and prepared it just the way that Don likes it. She added the finishing touches to the tray and carried it upstairs.

In bed Don was beginning to shows signs of life. Curled up at his feet was Gia's larger dog, Lady who was watched her mistress come in with a tray full of breakfast.

"Scoot", she whispered to the dog, who than lazily stretched before jumping off the bed

At the same time Don opened his eyes and stretched awake. "What time is it? Wow! It's 10 AM."

He spied that Gia has prepared him breakfast and sat up in bed.

"

Happy Birthday sleepy head! Hungry? She lowers the tray onto his lap."

"Birthday." he groaned. He looked at the tray of goodies. "And, yes I am hungry. You didn't have to go to all this trouble."

She shrugged and said, "I wouldn't do it if I didn't want too. So enjoy!"

He smiled and plunged into his breakfast.

She sat on the end of the bed, "Aside from dinner at your dad's is there anything special you would like to do for your birthday?"

"No, not really." He said between bites of omelet. "On second thought", he said as he leered at Gia.

She laughed, "Oh great I have to be that nice to you!"

He laughed back, "Yes it's my birthday and you said I could do whatever I wanted."

"Hmm? Maybe I have to revise that plan?"

"Nope to late you said anything."

Gia giggled and said, "Well finish your breakfast you're going to need your strength to keep up with me."
