JJ and Grace had slept on the pullout together. He pulled her onto his chest and held her as tight as he usually did, if not tighter.

JJ groaned as the sun shone into his eyes. He was prepared to spend the next half hour admiring Grace while she slept but he was disappointed to find that she wasn't cuddled up on his chest like usual. His eyes opened at the realization only to see her standing over the stove in the kitchen wearing his t-shirt and some pyjama bottoms. He smiled as he stood and walked over to her.
"Hey baby," he mumbled while wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. She jumped slightly, "Jeez J you scared me."
He kissed her on the cheek then let go of her to go open the fridge. "Sorry Sunshine. What're you making?"
"Pancakes," she hummed happily.
JJ wanted to make sure she was alright. He wanted to ask her how she was feeling but he didn't want to bring attention to last night when she seemed so happy.
"JJ."
"Hmm?" he got snapped out of his thoughts as he turned to her.
"I'm fine." At his confused face she continued, "I can tell what you're thinking, you're not subtle. Look it was shitty and part of me is still upset but I'm happy, I promise. I just want to spend the morning with you and ignore what happened last night, okay?"
JJ nodded, wrapped his arms back around her waist and slotted his head onto her shoulder to watch her work her magic over the stove.
"I love you," Grace mumbled.
"Hmm?" JJ smirked. He knew what she said but he wanted her to say it again. He wanted her to say it over and over again for the rest of their lives.
"I love you idiot," she laughed.
"I love you too," he kissed her cheek while smiling goofily.
"Go set the table," she ordered as she finished up her last pancake.
"Yes ma'am."
The duo settled down at the table and ate their pancakes happily.
"I will never get how you do it," JJ said as he helped her clean up.
"J, it's not that hard to cook you are just cursed or something."
JJ scoffed jokingly, "Rude. Anyway where's JB?"
"He went running off this morning. Something about CPS I think."
"He getting deported?"
"I hope not," Grace shrugged.
"I gotta go back to my house to get some clothes you wanna come?"
"Sure, by the way do you have a sweater I can borrow?"
"Gracie."
"What?"
"I just told you I'm out of clothes. Mostly because of you stealing from me."
"Okay and? You love me you have to give me clothes."
JJ groaned as he grabbed a sweater from the guest room and threw it at Grace, "I should've never told you that."
"Hey! That's mean!" she scolded as she pulled his Kildare Marina sweater on.
"Only joking," he smiled as he pulled her in by her waist and kissed her softly.

JJ was happy to find that his dad wasn't home as he and Grace climbed through his window quietly.
