"Sit down, I'll get it."

JJ dragged herself sluggishly into the kitchen, following the smell of food. Emily was making pancakes, Henry standing on a chair watching the batter firm up as it cooked to help.

"Smells good in here." JJ said sleepily, sitting at the kitchen island. She had gone out to celebrate a friend's birthday the night before and hadn't made it home until after two in the morning so she wasn't quite as chipper as she normally was in the morning.

"Good morning!" Emily greeted, turning around to glance at her.

"Hi, Mommy!" Henry said, not tearing his eyes away from the pan on the stove. "Wan a pancake?"

"Sounds good to me." She yawned and glanced at the coffee pot, which was half full. "The coffee good?"

Emily nodded. "Just made it." She turned when she heard JJ's stool scrape against the floor. "Sit down, I'll get it." She insisted.

JJ nodded tiredly and watched as Emily poured and served it to her black. JJ took a sip and hummed appreciatively, tilting her head up toward her and making a plaintive sound, smiling slightly when Emily pressed her lips to hers. "Thank you." She mumbled, waiting to feel more awake.
