Waking up was slow going this morning. My body felt heavy with fatigue. I could hear the sounds of the boys moving around the house, getting ready for school, but I couldn't find the will to get up. I didn't really need to right? I could just stay asleep. Yes. That's what I would do. Grunting to myself in agreement, I snuggled deeper into the pillow waiting for sleep to take me again. A soft chuckle let me know that my plan was about to be foiled. Crap.

"Princess, it's time to get up."

"No." Another laugh, louder and closer than the last one.

"Come on, I let you sleep as late as I could."

"I don't wanna", I whined into my pillow. 

"I know you don't, but you have to. You are meeting Lily at 10, and it's a bit of a drive. You can probably sleep some more in the car if you want."

That had my eyes popping open in surprise. Slowly, I turned my head to face Victor. How did he know that? I don't remember telling anyone that. Had they read my messages? Were they listening in on my phone calls? Victor seemed to read my mind, because he immediately jumped to explain. 

"Decan called you a little earlier. I called him back to see what he wanted, so you could sleep a little longer. He said that he was picking you up in about 30 minutes." I narrowed my eyes. That didn't really answer the question. I highly doubted that Decan told Victor anything other than he was picking me up. Chuckling, Victor rolled his eyes and continued in a whisper. "I have been working on a mission with Liam and he told me what Lily was up to today. I'm not sure he has put together yet that I'm connected to you. Hell, maybe he doesn't even know the details. I put it together though."

I just blinked at him. Who was Liam? What mission? Why was he whispering? I was still too groggy for any of this. I decided it didn't really matter. Nodding, I started to slowly sit up. Victor helped me untangle from my sleeping bag and held my hand as I got to my feet. Once standing, I stretched... reaching both my hands high over my head and yawning big. Rather than letting my hand drop, he held on, raising his arm with mine and letting them fall back down together. The feeling made me giggle, which in turn made him smile. His eyes were burning brighter than I had seen in days.

 A throat clearing drew my attention to the door leading into the kitchen, where North and Kota were standing. North was looking down at my stomach with his lips slightly parted and eyes glazed. I had seen all of the boys look at me like this from time to time, usually when we were swimming. But I had never really understood what it meant. Only that it made me feel warm and tingly in my stomach. Now though, I was starting to understand what it meant. Blushing, I looked down at my stomach, but frowned when I couldn't see what had caught his attention. Looking back up, he was still staring at the same spot. Weird. Flicking my eyes to Kota, the one who had cleared his throat, I saw that his eyes were darting around. To my face, to Victor's, to our hands, back to my face, away, over and over again. 

Huffing I tried to casually pull my hand back, but Victor just held tighter. Alrighty then. Awkward.

"Good Morning Kota, North." I smiled, hoping the weird vibes in the air would just go away. North blinked, and then shook his head, raising his eyes to mine and smiling back at me. So weird. 

"Morning Sweetie." It seemed my smile was actually enough to do the trick, because he smiled softly at me as well. "Breakfast is ready whenever you are. Gabe laid some clothes out for you in Nathan's room. What kind of coffee would like this morning. Vanilla?"
