"Good morning, gorgeous." Billy loomed over Phyllis' still sleeping body as he planted a soft kiss on her shoulder. He smiled as she stirred slightly and her eyes finally opened.

"Morning," she managed as she brought her hand to her face and carefully brushed her hair away from her face. She breathed in deeply, trying to focus on the numbers on the clock across the room. It seemed like just minutes ago that she'd crawled under the covers and closed her eyes. How was it possible that it was already the next morning? "What time is it?" she whispered.

"Almost 8," he breathed, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I hated to wake you up, but the kids were getting antsy about breakfast. You still up to going out?"

"Yeah." She forced herself to sit up, surprised by the fact that she felt no more rested than she had when she went to bed the night before. "Just give me a few minutes to get dressed."

"You need some help with that?" Billy's eyes danced as he let his hands run down her body and underneath the sheets.

She couldn't help but smile as she gently clasped his wrists and pulled his hands back up to his chest. "I think you should go back into the living room and check on the kids so I can focus on getting my clothes on." She pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "Somehow you always seem to be more help when it comes to getting my clothes off."

Billy shrugged. "I know my strengths…what can I say?" He smiled as he pulled her closer to him. "I told the kids that we could go see a movie after breakfast. I hope that's okay. You didn't have any plans today, did you?"

"If I did, I'd break them." She closed her eyes as she felt his arms wrap around her. "There's nothing that sound better than spending the whole day with you and the kids."

"Hey, Johnny.." Billy gently swatted his hand as he reached across to pilfer food off Phyllis' plate. "We can get you your own pancakes."

"I don't want any," he smiled as he wiped a bit of syrup off his face with the back of his hand.

"You've eaten almost all of Phyllis'," Billy smiled. "What's she supposed to eat?"

"It's fine," Phyllis smiled as she reached over and passed Johnny a napkin. "It leaves me plenty of room for popcorn and candy at the movies." Honestly, she didn't mind that Johnny helped her clean her plate. There was nothing appealing to her on the menu and she'd actually only ordered pancakes to appease Billy, knowing that he'd worry if she'd admitted she wasn't hungry. "Here." She slid the plate over to Johnny.

Billy nodded at him as he happily dug in. He reached over towards her and took her hand, the cool touch of her skin startling him a bit. "You cold?" He reached for his jacket, offering it to her. "Your hands are like ice."

"No." She gripped her hands together, realizing for the first time that they were cool to the touch. "I'm not cold. I guess my hands are just cold…." She laughed softly as Billy took her hands in his hand rubbed them softly.

"What?"

"It's just you…you're always taking care of me."

"Of course I am. I can't have my lady sitting here with cold hands, now can I?" He brought her hands to his lips and kissed them softly. His eyes fell on the face of his watch. "We better get going if we want to make that movie. You ready to head out?"

She nodded reaching for his hand as he stood and helped her to her feet. "I'll take care of the check," he said as he headed towards the counter.

"Phyllis?" The sound of her name sounded very far away, almost as if she were caught in the middle of a dream she couldn't quite wake up from. The sound got louder as she felt her body being moved slightly and she finally forced her eyes to open, surprised by the sight of Katie's face only inches from hers. She jumped in surprise.

"Sorry," Billy laughed, "But nap time's over."

It took a minute for her to get her bearings but, as she began to take in her surroundings, she remembered arriving at the movie theater. She'd seen the previews and the beginning of the animated film, but that was the last thing she remembered. "I missed the movie?" she breathed. She looked down at Katie with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry," she whispered.

"It's okay," Katie whispered. "We can buy the DVD when it comes out and we can watch it then."

"She's an easy sell," Phyllis said quietly as she glanced over at Billy. "Sorry I messed this up again. I feel like I keep ruining these chances to spend time with the kids."

"It's no big deal. Believe me, I wish I could have slept through this thing. I was too busy trying to keep Johnny from throwing popcorn at the screen."

"I take it he wasn't a fan?" She looked over at Johnny. "You didn't like the movie, Johnny?"

"There weren't any superheroes in it," he huffed, "It was a girl movie."

Phyllis smiled as she looked over at Billy. "Well, it looks like we'll have to let you pick the movie next time." She moved to stand, surprised when the entire room seemed to spin a bit as she attempted to push her body upright.

"You okay?" Billy's hand gripped her arm gently as his eyes fell on hers.

She could see the concern cover his face almost immediately. "Yeah. I'm fine. I was just sitting in the same position for so long. I think my feet fell asleep. I'm fine now." And she was. Once she stood for a moment, the dizziness completely faded away and, as she let him help her with her coat, she felt fine for a moment. With a shake of her head she pushed the slight worry from her mind. Everything was fine. It had to be. Life was far too good for anything to go wrong.
