Em wakes up to the sound of footsteps going down the stairs. She turns over and sees the bed is empty beside hers and slowly gets up before going into the master bathroom. She freshens up before changing into a robe and leaving the room. She sees the doors to 2 of the 3 guest rooms open, meaning her sisters are awake.

She heads downstairs and sees her sisters and father awake, sitting down on the family room couch as David makes them breakfast.

"Bendicion, Pa. Buenos días," Em smiles, kissing her father's cheek.

"Dios te bendiga, mi'ja! Dormiste bien?" he asks.

"Lo más que puedo con esta niña tan jodona," she replies, referring to Baby Pastrnak.

She greets her sisters Keila and Eimy before squealing when she sees Anny.

"Nini, I missed you so much!" she cries out, hugging her sister Anny that she hasn't seen in a few months.

"I missed you more!" Anny giggles, before placing her hands on Em's bump.

Em then makes her way to the stove where she sees David cooking away in the kitchen.

"Good morning. How'd my girls sleep?" he asks, kissing her.

"Good. I'm gonna enjoy being able to sleep because soon she's gonna start keeping me up all night," she informs him.

"Your mom's still asleep by the way," he informs her.

"Oh I know, that lady loves to sleep when she's on vacation or on days off. She's a nurse, so she doesn't get much sleep in general. Not to mention, my sisters keep her busy with dance and all that. Even though she only works Mondays-Thursdays, it takes a toll on her," she explains to him.

"Oh yes, I remember. She works at the hospital near the house," he nods, remembering when he learned that when he first met Em's family.

David finishes breakfast and serves everyone at the kitchen table. They all sit down at the six person table and eat while talking about the holiday tomorrow and the fact that it's Em's mom's 49th birthday today. They finish eating and David cleans up the table. The girls go to the family room and sit down on the giant sectional in front of the wall-mounted TV. Keila grabs the remote and puts on Nickelodeon. SpongeBob SquarePants is being shown on the TV and Keila gets excited, since she absolutely loves SpongeBob.

"Keila, can you put on something else?" Eimy sighs, not wanting to watch it.

"But I love SpongeBob," Keila retorts.

"Girls, don't argue over the TV. Keila, you can keep SpongeBob on," Em in forms them, using her mom voice.

"Thank you, Em! You're the best sister!" Keila smiles, glad that she can continue to watch her cartoons.

Em sits down on the edge of the sectional and reclines the seat. David sits down next to her and put a pillow up to prop up her feet. She pulls her shirt up, revealing her large bump.

"Em, what's that line?" Eimy asks, referring to the dark line running down the center of her bump.

"It's the linea nigra and every pregnant woman gets it," Em explains, rubbing her bump.

"Can I feel?" Keila asks curiously.

"Sure," Em smiles.

Keila makes her way to the other side of the sectional and tentatively places a hand on Em's bump. A few seconds later, she feels a slight jolt.
