Andrea smiled, shocked at the days events, relieved that she could finally sleep again. Turning over she gave Gary a kiss, "goodnight my love. You taste like a cigarette."

"Goodnight beauitful, shhh, go to sleep now, I'm tired" Gary closed his eyes.

"Dadda" Angareas went back to sleep also.

Andrea woke a few hours later unable to sleep any longer being covered in a hot sweat, which was unheard of for her until this morning. She went to the bathroom and ran a hot bath to clean this sweaty residue from her body. This she found incredibly odd, thinking of anything that was out of the ordinary and coming up with a blank. Gary entered the bathroom to use the toilet "Hubby, how did you sleep?"

Gary, still relieving himself, "Next to you babe. With my eyes closed. Under the covers. Is this a trick question? Why do you ask?" Gary flushed and put the toilet seat down "I did however wake up soaked in a cold sweat, that hasn't happened since I was in prison as far as I know." Gary chuckled "I don't think I pissed the bed, though, I think that got out of my system at around age ten. I wouldn't worry too much about it." 

"Good to know," Andrea awkwardly laughed "I woke up like a soaked rat and thought there was something wrong."

"Yeah it's all OK babe" Gary explained "I don't think anyone has ever drown from this condition. This is the first time in twenty years or more since the last time it has happened." Gary left the bathroom, closing the doorbehind him and went to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee and began to make breakfast for Andrea, Sherry and himself. Turning breakfast onto a low heat, Gary decided he'd go out for a smoke, there was plenty on the table already rolled on the kitchen table. Gary took a smoke from the pile of cigarettes and went outside to enjoy his morning smoke before finishing breakfast.

Walking up and down the driveway having his cigarette, Gary stoped and watched the birds flying across the sky in a V formation. He kind of got lost in thoughtless thoughts when the F - 18 flying overhead reminded him he was cooking breakfast. Gary rushed back into the house to finish cooking but it was too late. 

Andrea had breakfast already portioned into three servings and was calling Sherry to the table. "What a nice suprise hubby." Andrea served Gary and gave him a kiss "you taste like a cigarette." Noticing Gary searching for where his cigarettes made off to Andrea said "I put them with your secret tobacco stash. Eat up."

Gary furrowed his eyebrows "It's my secret tobacco stash and up until lastnight I was the only one in this house who didn't know about it."

Sherry exited the bathroom. "What's everybody laughing about? Oo breakfast, right on, I'm starved." Sherry joined Gary and his wife at the table for breakfast. "Thank you this is delicious."  

After their laughing episode Andrea said "You have Gary to thank for this incredible Farmer's Breakfast." Gary ate like he hadn't eaten in a year and got up to wash his plate. "I see you still have your appetite my husband.  Please go to the bathroom, quick. Close the door behind you." 

Gary unsure why he was sent to bathroom just did as asked. He soon realized after his eyes began to water and he was having difficulty breathing through his nose. He stayed long enough in the bathroom to really gather an appreciation again for his own brand. Gary exited the bathroom to find Andrea and Sherry burst out in laughter. "Very funny, girls" Gary laughed "I go to sleep for a year and the two people closest to me are conspiring against me. I will remember that for next time and I won't be the only one shedding tears."

"Ah hubby, you're funny"Andrea got out the word between laughter "I been around you stinky ass long enough to know exactly when you're about to let go." Erupting in laughter "I just didn't believe it would compliment your meal so well." 

Gary stood facing the love of his life with a perplexed look on his face "Are you kidding babe?" Gary questioned "there is no better compliment to the chef."

"When you are the chef you have to think ahead on behalf of your guests also," Andrea tilted her head bowing a nod "and what would make their dining experience most enjoyable."

"Excuse me" Sherry pushed away from the table and let a nasty ripper go herself "a great meal, thanks for breakfast, my compliments to the chef." Sherry chuckled "I got places to be and things to do yet before I need to get back to the Tavern. By the way, you missed Anish there yesterday. He seemed like a really nice guy." 

"Thank you." Gary turned his attention from Sherry to Andrea "see babe, now there's a team player." Shifting his focus back to Sherry and coughing a bit "a very good compliment but you got things to do buds" Gary waved his hand infront of his face.

Sherry put on her jacket and shoes and waved good bye before leaving. Andrea, now feeling left out of the stink game went and changes Angareas poopy diaper after putting a bottle of milk into a sink of warm water. "There we go my girl, we can't let them be the only stinky asses, eh?" Angareas giggled and Andrea finished cleaning her bottom before putting on a new diaper and jumpsuit and putting her down to crawl around in the playroom which was the spare room with some baby toys in it, bringing her her bottle also.
