Emely wakes up to the sound of a pan falling on the ground and Kiley shouting "Charlie!" She checks her phone and sees it's just before 10:30am, which is a pretty respectable time to wake up on a Saturday. She gets up from bed and leaves the room.
She heads to the bathroom, brushes her teeth and pees before heading to the kitchen, where she sees Kiley and Charlie finishing breakfast.

"Morning, guys," she smiles at them.

"Morning," they both reply.

She sits down on a barstool at the kitchen island. She goes on her snap, sends streaks, and posts a video of Charlie and Kiley cooking with the caption "woke up to these two making me breakfast 💘" She also posts the video on her IG story with the caption "when kiley_helen and cmcavoy25 make you breakfast" with the love filter.

She scrolls through her IG feed, liking pics and vids from her family and friends and celebs. She also goes through all her stories. Just as she finishes, they finish making breakfast. They all sit down on the island to eat. Just as Emely starts eating, her phone starts ringing with a facetime request from "mi madre 💕."

"Bendicion Ma (Blessings)," she smiles, as she answers the request.

Her mom is in the kitchen making breakfast for her siblings and her father.

"Dios te bendiga, mi reyna (God bless you, my queen). You're eating breakfast?" her mother, Maria, asks.

"Yeah, Ma. Charlie and Kiley made it," Em replies, taking a bite out of her food.

"Where are they? I wanna say hi," she asks.

"I'm right here, Mrs. Rodríguez," Charlie smiles, getting up and walking behind Em.

"Charlie, mi rey (my king), how many times have I told you to call me Maria? You're family," she replies.

"Sorry, Maria," he smiles.

"How are you? I heard you got hurt," she asks.

"Yeah, they think it might be a concussion but they're not sure. I've had some symptoms but they don't know for sure," he explains.

"Well take care of yourself. And where is that girlfriend of yours?" she asks.

"I'm right here, Mrs. Rodríguez," Kiley replies, making her way over to the camera.

"Just Maria please. How are you, sweetie?" she asks.

"I'm great. School is kicking my ass but it's not anything I can't handle," Kiley replies.

"I know how hard it is. My daughter Anny just started her first year at Northwestern for sports journalism. She jokes that she wants to become the Rangers reporter so she can annoy Boo all the time now," she giggles.

"I'm sure she'll do well," Kiley nods.

"And how is Emely behaving? Is she being a pest?" she asks.

"Of course she is! Nah, I'm just kidding. Em is great," Charlie chimes in.

"Well I'm gonna let you kids go," she smiles.

"Ma, are you facetiming Emely?" a voice calls out from the Rodríguez household.

"Yes, Keila," she replies.

"Wait, I wanna talk to her!" Keila squeals before running over to her mother.

"Emely! Charlie! Kiley!" Keila squeals, her 10 year old self oozing with energy.

"Hi babs," Em smiles.

"I miss you, Emely. When are you coming back home?" she asks.

"Next Saturday, baby," Em replies.
