A few minutes after Gretta and Elliot got up, Carmen and Grace had come out of their bedroom to grab some breakfast from the kitchen.
"Hmph. Look at them!" Carmen whispered to Grace, pointing to where Gretta and Elliot had fallen asleep on the couch.
"They must have been really tired." Grace says, frowning in sympathy as she opens the fridge.
"Good morning. Anything good in there?" Grace hears Jack's voice float through the kitchen. She's far too distracted by grabbing items out of the fridge to inspect them and can't turn around. "Not really." Grace frowns. "There's some milk left but it's probably better to just stick with oatmeal or cereal." She advises and nearly jumps as she turns and finds him in front of her. Carmen is still at her spot by the counter, visible between one of Jack's shoulders.
"You scared me!" "Sorry." He apologizes and moves out of the way so Grace can move over to the coffee maker with some milk in her hands.
"I guess we should just head to the office after we have breakfast since we're all awake." Carmen suggests and Grace nods as she puts some milk into her tea and stirs it. "What about Gretta and Elliot? Are they awake?" Jack asks and Grace stretches a little to look at them over the counter, unsure.
"Hey kiddos, you alive over there?"
The two teens groan in unison.
"Yeah, they're awake." Grace answers.
A moment later she sees Gretta's head pop up from the couch. She doesn't see, however, that Gretta blinks at Elliot, trying to register what she was just doing.
He slowly gets up too, rubbing his eyes and blinking away sleep. She turns away and then looks at her mom.
"What is it?" "Just making sure you're still with us." "Ha. Funny." Gretta replies with dry sarcasm as she sits down by the counter on one of the bar stools.
"Why are you both so tired? Couldn't sleep?" Grace asks, glancing at the two with confusion.
"She kept moving too much and woke me up at 5." Elliot complains as he comes over to the counter. "You were awake too!" Gretta counters. "You couldn't sleep?" Grace asks her daughter, concerned and completely ignoring their squabbling. "Yeah...must be the new area. I don't know." She finishes her sentence with a stretch. "You two can stay here if you want."
"You sure?" Elliot asks. "Really?" Gretta says in surprise at the same time.
Grace, Jack and Carmen attempt to not look surprised by how in sync they are this morning.
