A Weekend at the Lake House

Blissful Morning

Disclaimer: I don't own Grown Ups or the characters. Just Mia though. At least Mia has her happy ending.

Chapter 4

Mia's POV

I woke up in a strange, unfamiliar room and someone's arm was wrapped around me. I couldn't see his face because my back was towards him and so, I began to hyperventilate and was ready to unleash my secret kung fu techniques until I heard him mumble something along the lines "more sleep" and he tightened his grip on me and then it all suddenly hit me. The funeral, the lake house, the poor bird Eric crushed, talking with Greg, flirting with Greg, kissing Greg and Greg asking me to be his girlfriend.

I smiled at the last memory. Waking up in his arms were...amazing, I slightly sit up to see if anyone was awake yet, and I saw all of them still asleep with drool dripping on their pillows. I chuckled when I saw Keithie's head on Andre's chest, I can make out a wet spot on Andre's shirt as Keithie drooled all over him. I reached for my phone on the nightstand and took a picture of them, still giggling as I layed back down, facing Greg this time. He looked so peaceful, with a hint of smile on his lips as he slept. I wonder what's he dreaming about...

This is the first time I've slept with no nightmares, and it felt good to have at least more than 4 hours of sleep a day. I was still staring at his face when I drifted off to dreamland again.

An hour later, I woke up to an empty bed and an empty room. I guess all of the kids were already downstairs. I got up and picked an outfit for today and went to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. I dressed into my loose dark green tank top with a cross on it and denim high waisted shorts. I tucked in the tank top in my shorts so it looks a bit baggy and I paired it with my black vans with black bracelets and some simple star earrings.

A few minutes later, I walked downstairs to be greeted with a smell I felt familiar with. Vegan food. Yeah, I know it's somewhat disgusting for others who are not used to it, but my mom is actually a vegetarian so she used to feed me those stuff when I was a child. My dad tried it a few times, just for mom's sake, but my dad and I always have Meat Day during Tuesday's and Thursday's.

"Good morning, everybody!" I sang as I walked towards the kitchen.

"Someone seems especially cheery today." Deanne observed and I just smiled brightly at her.

I took a plate and began piling food on it. I began eating on the kitchen counter when Lenny walked in with Becky.

"Birdie coming through, everybody. Birdie coming through. Good morning. How we doin? Something stinks in here!" Lenny greeted.

"Glory and I are making breakfast for everybody. Using a dehydrator which doesn't cook anything above a 150 degrees." Rob explained. As Lenny nodded.

"Are those pancakes?" Lenny asked with disgust.

"They're ocean pancakes."

"They're great, it looks like you cut 'em off an elephant's legs. I'm not eating that." Lenny said obviously disgusted.

"They're good for ya. And Mia's seems to like it!" Rob said and I stopped mid-chew and looked at them with wide eyes.

"Dude, her mom is vegetarian. She practically survives on these kind of foods." My uncle mumbled from the couch.

"What is this? A scab?" Lenny asked.

"It's dehydrated banana." Rob explained.

"What happened to a normal banana? You peel a banana and you eat it."

"Kids will love it. It's fun and if it doesn't go bad all day, you slice it up-"

"Oh, I see what you do with it!" Lenny then slapped Rob across the face with the dehydrated banana. "I guess this is good."
