hey guys!
Jake awoke from his three hours of sleep at ten o'clock, to an ambulence wail. Apparently, Spike and Jamie were not morning people, they didn't wake until eleven. Around eleven, Spike stumbled out of the bedroom, in his same torn jeans, and no shirt, as his pajamas.
"Good morning!" Jake called. He had never been a morning person, but he was bored.
"Huh." Spike grumbled. He fumbled around in the kitchen until he found some coffee, and began brewing it.
Jamie came out a few minutes later. She was dressed in a faded grey t-shirt and fabric pants as her pajamas.
Now, Jake had seen his parents in bad shape in the morning, but Jamie and Spike looked horrid. Their hair was a tangled mess, their pajamas hanging limply on their frames. They had dark half-moons hanging under their eyes, and their eyes were blood shot.
"You guys okay?" he asked after both had a cup of coffee.
"Been better." said Spike. "Want some coffee?" he asked. Jake shook his head. He'd had a sip of Jack's coffee, and, quite frankly, it tasted like bad water. Spike shrugged.
"Do you want something for breakfast?" asked Jamie. Jake tried to force himself to say no. From what he had seen, Spike and Jamie really couldn't afford all this extra food he would take up. But then his stomach growled.
Jamie smiled weakly. "Lets find you something." she said, getting up and began rummaging through the cupboards. Eventually she produced a box of cerial.
"Will this do?" she asked. Jake nodded, though he had never had cerial before. Sally always cooked elaborate breakfasts for her family. To go from rotton eggs and spoiled bacon to cold cerial was a bit of a jump.
Spike noticed Jake's look of disapointment. "Why don't we go out for breakfast?" he asked. Jake smiled a bit. That sounded better. Jamie seemed excited.
"Really Spike? You mean it?" she asked. Spike smiled. "Yeah, a real breakfast." he said.
Jack awoke at first light. He was still sitting on the kitchen chair, with Sally's head on his shoulder. He smiled gently at her sleeping form. Then he gently slid her head off his shoulder, and placed a pillow under it.
He stood, and headed toward's the doctors.
Spike, Jamie, and Jake stood outside the apartment. Spike took out his wallet.
"Hmmmm.." he muttered, frowning.
"Can we afford it?" asked Jamie.
Spike smiled weakly. "Well, it won't be a grand buffet."
And so about half an hour later the three sat inside a fast food joint. Jake digested his breakfast muffin.
And though everything pointing contraditory, Jake found himself smiling watching Spike's impression of the president, Jamie laughing.
"Doctor?" Jack called, peeking from the edge of the door.
"Jack! In here!" the doctor called. Jack walked into the lab.
The doctor was beaming. "I know, I know, its amazing to finish it overnight, but I am amazing." he said proudly.
