"You can see it, I got it all on tape, Derek too," Kat told her proudly.  "I had some help with that, but I bet I can bring the tape home."  She was excited about the idea of seeing it again herself.  "Tuffy was a little bit scared at first, but we slept in Nick's room and he felt A LOT better.  I think I'm s'posed t'help Julia go shopping for something before we bring you home, but I don't know what yet.  What are you having for breakfast?"
 
"Actually Julia said she'd sneak me in something so I'm not stuck with hospital food.  They want me to eat.. oatmeal," Rachel said in mock shock "without fruit!  Whoever thought of oatmeal without gummi bears? It's a crime."
 
 
And sure enough Julia had finished her breakfast, put the plate in the sink and was packing up little Tupperware dishes into a stay-warm casing, at the same time saying something to Nick that had him laughing in response.
 
Rachel remembered her daughter's hesitancy with Julia and a shadow of a memory of Julia visiting her with concerns of her own "I take it you talked it out with Julia and you two are okay now?  Well, they'd have to be if Tuffy slept with all of you.  What are you eating for breakfast anyway... not the cupcakes, I hope?"
