Morning.

Knock Knock.

"Honey, wake up!" Denise yelled from the other side of the door. When there was no reply she knocked again.

Knock Knock. Knock Knock Knock. Knock Knock.

She pounded her fist in harmony against the door. "Wake up, love birds!" She called out once more.

Nick slowly opened his eyes. "I'm going to come in, okay?" Denise said. "No mom, just a second!" He yelled and sat up quickly. "Selena!" He whispered. She did not answer. "Gomez, get up." He whispered again, throwing a pillow at her.

She turned to her side. "Uggh!" He yelled in frustration. Nick got up and walked over to the couch. He tucked his arm under her fragile body and lifted her up bridal style. "Everything okay Nick?" Denise asked concerned due to his groaning. "We're fine mom, just a second!" He yelled as he threw her in the bed.

Nick ripped the sheets off of the couch and thew them under the bed. He then fold the couch back to its form and jumped into the bed next to Selena. He covered their bodies and rested Selena's head on his shoulder to give it a realistic feel. He took a deep breath before inviting his mother inside. "Come in." He called.

The door opened and in came Denise with a smile. "Morning honey." She said as she walked over to the bed. "Morning mom." He smiled. "She's sleeping, I wouldn't blame her. Texas is a long ride from New York." She giggled. "It was, I'll wake her up." He said. "You don't have-" Before she was finished, Nick gently shook Selena.

Her eyes opened and Nick came to view. "Where am I?" She asked, raising up. "Morning honey." Denise smiled. "Morning." She smiled back. "You guys are so adorable." She gushed looking at the two. Nick chuckled and held Selena a little closer to his chest. "Come on down for breakfast, we have a wonderful day planned." She said all bubbly before leaving.

"Let's get ready, I'm starving." He said getting up. "How did I end up here?" She asked sitting up. "I lifted you up, now come on." He dragged her out of the bed and on to the bathroom. "What are you doing?" She asked. "There's two sinks, do the math." He said grabbing his toothbrush. "I know, but I have  to use the bathroom." She trailed off. "Make it quick." He said leaving.

Selena did her business and the two got for ready for breakfast. They brushed their teeth, washed their faces, and he took his pills. Selena and Nick made their way back into the bedroom. She was about to exit but he pulled her back. “Remember our conversation last night, if my mom cooks any meat, you have to eat it." He said. "Right..." She said sadly. "You'll be fine." He kissed her cheek and pulled her down the stairs.

"Hey!" Nick yelled as he entered with Selena. "Hey." Denise greeted. "What's for breakfast?" He said taking a seat. "Pancakes, bacon, and egg. Your favorite." She placed a plate in front of him. "Thanks mom." He said before taking a bite of his bacon. "Wait for everyone and until we pray." Denise smack her son's hand away from the bacon.

"Okay mom." He chuckled and pulled Selena on his lap. "Selena will have some bacon, mom." He said as she placed a plate full plate of pancakes and eggs. "Oh, I thought you were a vegetarian." Denise said. "Umm... I saw everyone enjoying your meals and I thought I'd try it out since it looks so yummy." She fake smiled.

"Well sweetie you don't have to do that." Denise frowned. "I want to." She replied. "Okay then." She said and placed a strip of bacon on her plate. "Thanks." She said. "Thought you'd start off with one." Denise took her seat.

"Breakfast is ready!" She yelled. The rest of the family came piling in, taking a seat. "Where's dad?" Nick asked. "You know him, always at work." She said. "Okay Kevin, will you bless the meal please." She said. "Okay mom." He replied grabbing a hold of his wife's hand. He prayed to bless the meal and his family, after that everyone said Amen and ate their food.

Selena successfully ate everything on her plate, except the bacon. She picked it up and slowly put it near her mouth. The bacon touched her soft lips. Nick watched her carefully as she slipped the bacon strip into her mouth and chewed. "Great right?" He smiled. She made a face and nodded. After a few seconds, she felt something traveling up her esophagus. She dropped the bacon and held her mouth to keep the liquid from escaping. She got up and went to the garbage bin, then puked.

"Selena." Denise said and got up. She walked over to her and held her hair. After a while the vomiting stopped. "Honey, are you okay?" She asked concerned. Selena wiped her mouth and have a nod. "Yeah, it's just my stomach." She said as she held her tummy. "Okay, need some pain killers?" She asked. "No thanks, I'm good." She replied taking a seat. "No more food for you for the time being." She said and grabbed the plate away.

"You okay babe?" Nick asked, actually concerned. Selena turned to him and gave him a quick nod. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her soft cheeks. "Are you sure?" He whispered. "Yeah I'm okay." She weakly smiled. "Well I hope you'll be okay for what we have in store today." Denise smiled.

"What are we doing today?" Joe asked setting Katie on his leg. "Nana!" She reached out her tiny arms. Denise picked her up and kissed her forehead. "We're going to the water park!" She exclaimed. "Yay!" Yelled Katie as she clapped her hands. Denise chuckled at her bubbly grandchild.

"Sounds fun." Nick said. He stroked Selena's hair as she leaned on his shoulder. "It should be!" She squealed. "I want you guys be ready by ten and then we'll hit the road to Dallas." She smiled.

~+~

"Sure you're okay?" Nick asked as he dried his wet hair. He had just gotten out of the shower. “Yeah, it was the bacon." Selena said. "You're gonna have to get used to it." He said, placing his hand on her shoulder. "I know." She sighed. "I'm sorry." She apologized. "It's fine. Now go get ready." He smiled.
