(Nick's POV ; Next morning)

I woke up, and smiled at the sight of Gab asleep on my chest. I gently rubbed her lower back, trying to wake her up. Finally, her eyes started to flutter open. "Good morning sleeping beauty." I laughed and placed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled sleepily and sat up, stretching and yawning squeakily, making me laugh. "Good morning handsome. What time is it?" "Almost ten. I need to be at ICON by noon." I said, smiling up at her. "That means we can sleep some more!" She said happily, and fell back on top of me. I laughed, and tickled her. "No beautiful, we gotta start getting ready." Gab sighed and pouted, making me laugh harder. "Fine... Fifteen more minutes, nothing more, nothing less." I smiled, and allowed her to lay her head back on my chest. Just as I was pulling the cover back over us, I heard the pitter patter of little feet coming downstairs. Gab smiled and hopped off of me, meeting Jakey at the staircase, where he jumped into her arms. "MORNING!" He shouted, and squeezed her tight, wrapping his legs around her. Gab laughed, and kissed his cheek. "Morning cutie pie. Do you want some breakfast? I'm sure that little tummy of yours is hungry." She smiled, and rubbed his stomach. Jakey nodded, and smiled. "ICE CWEAM!" "No silly! Ice cream isn't breakfast. How about some cereal?" She smiled. Jakey smiled and nodded, then wrapped his arms around her neck. "Hi Nicky!" "Hi bud! Is Gab gonna feed you?" I asked. He nodded excitedly. "Come with us!" I smiled and followed them into the kitchen, where we all sat at the table. Gab poured me and Jakey cereal and sat down. "Thank you baby." I smiled and kissed her. "Ewwie!" Jakey squealed, covering his eyes. "Awe Jakey!" Gab laughed. "Do you want a kiss too?" He nodded, and Gab smiled and gently pecked him on the lips. He smiled and clapped his hands, making Gab crack up. I smiled, and looked at her. It wasn't too long before her eyes met mine, and she made a funny face at me. I laughed, and grabbed her into another kiss. From behind me, I heard someone clearing their throat. I slowly turned and saw my mom, tapping her foot. "Good morning." She said, and then laughed. "Morning Mama Rubi!" Gab smiled, and continued feeding Jakey. I smiled, and got up from the table, putting my plate in the sink. "I'm going to shower." I kissed Gab's forehead, and walked upstairs to my bathroom. I hopped into the shower and smiled. Today is going to be great...
