Chapter 22

Jen's POV

"how's Katie?" Mom asks me when I walk into the kitchen after my shower.

"She's still asleep. I think." I sigh as I sit down at the kitchen table.

"When are we having dinner?" I ask her.

"Well it's six right now so at about... six thirty?" She answers indecisively.

"Okay. Where's Scar?" I ask.

"In the living room. Playing I presume." She shrugs her shoulders.

"Okay, well i'm gonna go get Katie up." I anounce to her as I get up and push my chair back in.

"Okay see you in a min hon." Mom chirps back and goes back to cooking.

When I get to the door I slowly open it and tiptoe my way over to the side of the bed where I sit down and gently shake Katie's shoulder.

"What?" She groans in a groggy voice.

"Good evening." I laugh and shake her again.

"You didn't answer my question." She groans again.

"Dinner in half an hour." I inform her as she rolls over.

"Okay." She sighs and pushs herself up on her elbows.

"Where's Scarlett?" She asks rubbing her eyes.

"Living room." I reply.

"Come on." I encourage her as I grab her hands and stand up pulling her up in the process.

"Ughhhh." She groans as she stands.

"Stop groaning." I laugh and walk out with her following my trail.

"Not possible." She retorts making me grin.

"My life is one continuous groan." She laughs causing me to laugh too.

When we got to the kitchen Mom was pottering around doing various things while Dad had made himself comfortable reading the newspaper at the kitchen table.

"Hey. You feel any better?" Mom asked toward Katie.

"Yeah, a lot. It was just a head ache. nothing drastic." She responds as she sits down and I sit beside Dad across the table from her.

"What was wrong?" Dad asks, obviously unaware of the situation.

"Katie had a head ache and went to bed for a bit." I fill him in.

"Oh. Well I hope you're feeling better." He smiles and winks over the newspaper at her.

"Thanks." She smiles back.

"Jen." Katie speaks up with a serious face, making me weary.

"Yeah?" I ask her with a nervous laugh.

"We've put this off for too long." She says in the same tone.

"What?" I ask with another nervous laugh.

"The last two episodes of season six." She grins, refering to game of thrones. we didn't finish it because we would have to wait a full year to see the next season and we're impatiant as hell.

"Oh my god. You scared the crap out of me I thought it was something serious." I laugh at her.

"It is though." She laughs back.

"true." I answer bluntly with a nod.

"Anyway what is it?" i ask her.

"We have to watch them." She smiles.
