JANE
While the boys goofed off in their superhero outfits, Sophie ordered pizza and finished setting up our first game, Pictionary.

"How did Ben react to the slumber party idea?" I asked her.

She shrugged. "He just rolled his eyes, he thought I was making stuff up to avoid telling him the truth. Then pulled out his jammies and he laughed."

I giggled. "Yeah, Tom just laughed. It seems like they're going to have a fine time though."

You both looked over to them, who were still wrestling a bit, but calmed it down.

Once the pizza arrived we all grabbed what we wanted and sat on our big bed on the floor in the den.

"So how did you girls come up with this idea?" Ben said inbetween bites of his pizza.

Sophie took the question since I was still chewing. "Well, we have wanted to have a slumber party for awhile now. And since we're going back to London, and then we'll have a baby, we realized now might be our only shot and we didn't want to miss it or leave you boys out. So we came up with this."

Tom and Ben nodded.

"I think it was a great plan." Tom added.

Soon we finish our pizza and get started on our first game.

We decided to do a round of girls against boys and then a round of couples.

Sophie and I slaughtered the boys in round one of Pictionary. It was almost pathetic.

"Ben, how could you not see that this is very clearly a manatee?"

"A marine biologist, you are not. That looks nothing like a manatee!"

We sat back and laughed as they bickered.

Round two was a closer game. Tom really was not the best drawer in the world, so I sympathized with Ben's arguments.

Ben however, was a horrible guesser. So we were pretty evenly matched.

"A pug! A ewok! A...A...old man?! Gollum?!"

"Time."

"For goodness sake Ben, it's a bear!"

Tom giggled as he approached the board. Picking a card and sighing.

"Tom dear, what the hell is that? Oh! Ummm... Oh! Is that a genie's lamp?!"

"YES!"

He ran over and high fived me.

Ben flopped back on some pillows.

"I'd say it's rigged, but I helped set up. Close game though. How you see that as a genie's lamp, I'll never know."

I giggled and looked at the time.

"Ok, can you and move some of this out of the way for charades? I have to start an IV."

They both get up and start taking down the easels, Tom and I go to start setting up my antibiotic.

"So are you having fun?"

"Love, I am having a blast. This really was a very good idea. And these pajamas are the most comfortable thing I've ever had the pleasure of wearing."

You laughed and he pulled you in for a quick kiss.

"I'm glad you're both enjoying yourselves. I was a little worried."

"Nonsense, as long as we're all together we'd have fun. Nothing to worry about there. Are you still up for more games? You look a little tired."

You shake your head. "I'm fine. Now let's go kick their butts in charades!"

"We heard that!" Ben shouts from the den.

Tom and you chuckle as he finishes hooking you up and then he helps you roll your pole into den.

TOM

You all were having such a fun time.

Your game of charades was a tie, Jane did surprisingly well considering she was attached to her IV pole.

After charades Jane had decided it was time to surprise Ben and Sophie with the cake she made.

She shuffled to the kitchen, pole in tow, and pulled out a cake.

I began gathering plates and forks while they thanked Jane.

"Oh Jane! It's beautiful! Thank you so much!"

"Thank you, dear. It looks delicious."

Once you had served everyone their cake, we headed back to our big makeshift bed on the floor.

Jane spoke up first.

"So do you guys want to watch a movie after cake?"

Ben nods. "Yeah, but no chick flicks. We're already having a sleepover in footie pajamas."

Sophie and Jane giggled before Sophie answered. "Fair enough, you Tom pick the movie."

I said the first film to come to mind. "How about we all watch Heat?"

Jane muffles a laugh, you always wanted to watch that movie. It was your all-time favorite, you never tired of it.

Ben and Sophie nod.

"Yeah that's a good one. Nice choice."

Once finished Ben set up the movie, Sophie took the dishes to the kitchen and covered the cake, while I unhooked Jane from her antibiotic.

"I'm skipping my feed tonight, too. I don't anyone getting tangled in tubes or something. Plus how would that work while I'm wearing these jammies?"

You agreed, although you hated when she skipped feeds. She needed every calorie she could get. But one night wouldn't hurt.

"Are you sure you're ok to stay up for a movie?"

She nods. "Yeah, besides don't you think you quoting the movie will keep up?"

You stick your tongue out at her. She knew you too well.

"Movie's all ready." Ben said from the den.

Sophie walked by. "I put the cake in the cake saver and just left in on the counter. Is that alright?"

Jane nods. "Yes. Thank you. We're almost done."

Sophie continues to the den, plopping the floor and snuggled into Ben's side.

You and Jane walk over and sit, she leans into your chest with a slight shiver. You pull another blanket over just her, and whisper in her ear.

"Just get some rest penguin, I can see you're tired."

She didn't answer, she just leaned into you more.

At one point, during the diner scene, you had noticed that she hadn't giggled you mumbled the entire scene.

You look down and see a sleeping Jane. You pull the blankets up and kiss the top of her head.

You look over and see Ben spooning a sleeping Sophie.

You both just look at each other a moment and smile before turning back to the movie.
