"Babyyy wake up" A playful voice said as she shook the other

"Is it after 7?" A groggy voice asked

JJ looked down at her watch. "It's 7:01"

Emily opened one eye and saw her armed draped over a sleeping Henry and a pouting JJ who was holding Henry. Emily groaned and closed her eyes.

"Come on Em, you haven't gotten up early all week except for when we went running but that doesn't count"

"That's because there's this thing. It's called vacation and we are on this thing called vacation so if you would ever so kindly shut up that would be oh, so helpful"

"I'm not making you coffee" JJ said getting up knowing it's a lie

"Then I'll just sleep all day"

JJ rolled her eyes even though she couldn't see it. JJ tugged at her arm as she said 'Get up' in every way she could think of. Emily whined and wouldn't let JJ win.

"I'll get up when Henry gets up" Emily said scooting closer to him

"You promise?"

"Yes I agree with that straightment" Emily said sleepily

"First of all, statement. Second of all that's not what I asked"

"Potato, potato"

"You better get up when Henry gets up"

Emily dismissed her with a wave of a hand. JJ took one last glance at them before heading downstairs and into the kitchen. 

"Well your up early, Jenny" Sandy said

"You haven't called me that in years"

"I know, I thought it was time to be nostalgic for a little while"

JJ sat at the island and talked to her family until Henry came busting in.

"GOOD MORNING MOMMY!" He yelled

"Shh, inside voice Hen"

"Oh sorry. Good morning Mommy!" He stage whispered before running up to JJ and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning to you too bud. Where's your Mama?"

"She said that you said that she could sleep in"

"She did, did she?"

"Mhmm" he said nodding

"That little- Henry why don't you stay down here while I got get your Mama"

He smiled as he frolicked away. She climbed up the stairs and kicked open the already cracked door. Emily shot up and picked up the knife on her bedside table and threw the knife at JJ's face but luckily in her sleep induced haze she forgot to take the cover off and JJ had great reflexes.

"I always thought I was to pretty to be a murderer" JJ said picking up the cover

Emily groaned and flopped back down

"Nope, nuh uh you are getting up" JJ said ripping the comforter off

"Jayje I'm cold" she whined, curling her self into a ball

"If you get up I'll cuddle with you downstairs"

Emily shot up at this and walked right past JJ and almost got to the last step.

"Em! You need pants! And a shirt!"

Emily groaned and fell down, laying on the last few steps where you could only see her feet peeking out from the stairs
