Alexis opens her eyes to see if Elijah is asleep then glances over at Megan and closes her eyes again while rubbing Elijah's back. An hour goes by, the whole house is asleep, Alexis wakes up, turns over still holding Elijah and grabs her phone to check the time

"We good. I have an alarm set" (Megan)

"Why are you always up and quiet" (Alexis)

"I lay with my eyes closed all the time. It's like daydreaming" (Megan)

"You doing ceiling time" (Alexis)

"You just laid there and made that up" (Megan)

"I personally call it that even though I daydream with my eyes open majority of the time" (Alexis)

"Just go back to sleep" (Megan)

"I have to get up and find clothes for after dinner and also figure out what we're even eating. I'll check the calendar in a little bit" (Alexis)

"You can leave Elijah. I'm not getting up till later" (Megan)

"I was finna do that anyway but you gone change him or you want me to do it?" (Alexis)

"I got it. I know where his stuff is" (Megan)

"Mkay" (Alexis)

Alexis sits up slowly while pulling her arm from under Elijah then slides off the bed and covers Elijah with his blanket. She stands up fixing her shirt then walks over to her closet grabbing a hoodie then walks out into the hallway and downstairs to the kitchen to start dinner.

"IMAN!" (Alexis)

"What?" (Iman)

"Can you come get these pans and pots down from the top of this cabinet?" (Alexis)

"Hold up. I'm watching the game" (Iman)

"What that got to do with what I just asked you? (Alexis)

"Wait till it go to commercial" (Iman)

"Now, please" (Alexis)

"You honestly blowing me right now" (Iman)

"Do you wanna eat on time or not?" (Alexis)

"I'm coming" (Iman)

"Thank you" (Alexis)

Alexis finishes gathering ingredients from the refrigerator. Iman gets up from the couch and walks into the kitchen, over to the cabinets and reaches on top grabbing a pan

"Which ones you need?" (Iman)

"3 pots and a baking sheet" (Alexis)

"Ight. Here go a pot" (Iman)

Iman brings the pot down passing it to Alexis then reaches back on top of the cabinet grabbing the baking sheet with pots stacked on top

"Pick the two pots you want so I can put the extra one back" (Iman)

"Just sit the first two on the top down then the baking sheet and you can take the extra and put it on the other side of the kitchen. I may use it later" (Alexis)

Alexis puts water in the first pot and puts it on the stove then reaches over grabbing the boxes of pasta and opens them to prep for the boiling water. Iman slides the pot to the other side then walks up behind to Alexis putting his arms around her waist while lifting up her shirt and rubbing her stomach
