"Good Morning!" Barbara greets as she joins Mike and Shelby at the table.

"Morning Mom." Shelby greets, texting some friends as she glances up to give a smile as she waits for food.

"What's up, Barbara. Nice suit." Mike says, playing a video game on his switch.

"Thank you." she replies with a smile.

"Dad's making breakfast." Mike explains before looking into the kitchen. "It should be ready any minute because I'm starving."

Pat sighs, "Yeah, coming right up, little buddy. Just be patient." he calls over.

"Hey." 

"Hi." Courtney replies softly avoiding looking at anyone, only her mom seemed to notice.

"Hey." Barbara says again, but the blonde doesn't look up. "Hey." she says again moving her daughter only to gasp at the cuts on her face. "Oh, my God! What happened?"

At the worried tone, Shelby looks up and gasps. "Court, are you okay?"

Courtney gives the two an awkward smile, "Oh... I fell down the basement stairs."

"What were you doing in the basement?" Shelby questions, crinkling her nose.

"Get them while they're hot." Pat says, entering with plates full of food. His face also having bruising on it. "Who's hungry?"

"What happened to you?" Barbara questions in shock to see his injury.

Pat's smile falls at the questions, "Oh, I... Well, I... I tripped down those basement stairs." he tells her.

Shelby raises an eyebrow at the excuse. "Whats with you two and the basement?" she asks but they just look at each other.

"You both fell down the basement stairs?" Barbara questions.

Courtney laughs, "Yeah, there's a bad step."

"Yeah, it's a couple of bad steps down there." Pat quickly adds, "I was able to fix it and what I did was... Well, it's kind of an interesting story. I re-planed it and then I got up under the..."

He was cut off, "Pancakes, wow!" Courtney says looking at the plate before looking to her mom and sister, "Wow, look at these, Mom."

"Yeah, they look great." her mom says, still a bit confused.

Pat takes a seat, setting down the plate. "Would you like blueberry or chocolate chip?" he asks them.

"One of each." Courtney replies.

"Chocolate chip." Shelby answers, confused still.

Mike tries to reach for his own with his hand but Pat stops him. "You got it. One of each. Chocolate Chip." Pat replies, giving his son a look, "Coming up."

Barbara and Shelby glance at each other, both clocking the weirdness from the two. "You sure your both okay?" her mom asks the two.

"Fine." Pat and Court respond at the same time. "Great." they say, again at the same time before laughing.

"Why are you guys acting so weird?" Mike questions as Pat places pancakes on each other their plates.

"What are you talking about? I'm serving breakfast here." Pat says unbothered.
