Surprisingly, Julia was the first one in their bed awake, her hand still
against Nick's cheek as he slept.  He looked at him for a long moment,
tracing his features with her gaze and then looked down at Kat who was
curled up between them.

With a small grin and eyes going to the picture and watch now sitting on the
bedside table together, Julia slipped out from under the covers and padded
over to the door.

She'd go ahead and have breakfast waiting for all of them.

Kat awoke someitme later to the aroma of bacon frying.  She hoped Julia had
taken her breakfast suggestion of bacon and cupcakes . seriously.  Rachel
would never approve, but that was one advantage of her being in the
hospital, the only one actually.  Kat climbed out of bed, still holding
Tuffy and padded downstairs.  "Hi," she called from the doorway to the
kitchen.
