Frank looked down on Nancy’s sleeping form. They had tried to watch a romantic comedy, Nancy’s choice of course, before giving up and just talking. Nancy had broken down and told Frank about her and Ned’s split a month before. Ned had wanted to talk about settling down and possibly starting a family, but Nancy hadn’t felt ready for that yet. While it hurt her to admit it, they both felt it was better if they take a break for the time being. Though the break was possibly only temporary, Nancy had seemed fairly sure it would turn into something more permanent once Ned found someone new. Frank’s arm curled around her shoulders. It was always difficult hearing about the end of any relationship. After Nancy was done telling him about that and things back home there had been a silence. For the first time in the past month, Frank began to open up and told Nancy the story about Callie and his public breakup. Closing his eyes he laid back on his pillow recalling what he told her.

“I could have handled it better. I mean, going off like that in a restaurant was no way to act.” Nancy squeezed his hand. “Frank, you caught her out with another guy after she broke off her date with you. I think it is understandable that you would lose some of your cool.” Frank nodded. “I’m not saying she did not deserve my anger. I just think I should have pulled her to the side or confronted her alone later. I hate scenes.” Pausing he makes a weak joke. “That’s more a Joe thing to do. Him being the hothead in the family and all.”

They had chuckled and he felt more like his old self again. No one here had pressed him on the details though he knew they must all be curious. To be honest he was surprised by Joe’s restraint. Normally his brother pulled it out of him whether he was ready or not. Opening his eyes he watched Nancy sleep for a moment. Whatever Joe’s reasons for not pushing, he was grateful to have been able to speak with Nancy about it. Vanessa was great to talk to for a female perspective, but she was also friends with Callie and he had not wanted to get in between that.

Nancy murmured in her sleep and rolled more fully into his chest. Frank smiled and turned off the light. He knew she would likely be embarrassed in the morning, but he could not bring himself to wake her after all she had gone through the last day and some. Curling himself into her he allowed himself to drift into a dreamless sleep.

Laura awoke to a shrill ringing in her ears. Jerking upright she quickly hit the talk button on the phone. “Hello?” Her shoulders slumped. “Yes, Gertrude it is wonderful to hear from you. No, no, Fenton is not home right now. Yes, he is on a case. Yes, when he checks in I will let him know to call you. Bye”

Rubbing the tears from her eyes Laura glanced over at her bedside clock. 6 am. She felt like she had been run over by a truck, but somehow managed to get 5-6 hours of sleep. Pulling herself from bed she decided to go clean up from last night and start breakfast. She had no idea when anyone else would be awake or when they would receive a call, but she wanted to keep herself busy.

Making her way to the kitchen she smiled as she saw everything neat and clean. Tucking a dish towel into her pocket she hesitated before moving to the stairs, needing to see that her boys were alright. Though she could hear from the hallway that Joe was fine, she opened the door anyway and could not help the smile as she took in the sight of her youngest. Joe’s blond hair was matted up on one side of his head; his body sprawled out to cover every available inch with his covers flung down to the floor. Shaking her head, she quietly closed the door and paused at Nancy’s door. Pressing into the room she was brought up short at the sight of the made bed sitting there empty. She swallowed a brief feeling of panic before moving on to Frank’s room. If Nancy was not there, then she would really worry.

Pulling open Frank’s door a little harder than she meant, she sighed in relief as she noticed Frank and Nancy curled up on his bed sleeping. Smiling at the way her son was holding Nancy close while she snuggled into him she moved to re-close the door as Frank jolted awake. Blinking his eyes rapidly, he held Nancy tighter for a moment before noticing his mother at the door. Realizing how this could look he slowly tried to move his arm from under Nancy, but as she stirred he could not bring himself to wake her before she was ready. Instead he looked his mom in the eye and, keeping his voice low, started to explain Nancy’s presence. “Mom! Oh, um, Nancy and I couldn’t sleep and we tried to watch a movie, but just could not get into it so we sat up last night catching up. Then she fell asleep and I just could not wake her after everything…well, you know, and I swear it isn’t anything….” He trailed off as his mother started to chuckle.

Mrs. Hardy shook her head as her eldest rambled on a mile a minute. “I can see nothing happened.” Smiling a bit fuller now she could not help but tease him. She winked before continuing. “Though maybe next time a note would be good. I almost had a panic attack when I found Nancy not in her room. Maybe we could work out a signal?” Joe came up from behind his mother, scratching his chest. “A signal for what?” He glanced over Frank and Nancy a moment before a wicked grin split his face. “Oh, that kind of signal.” He winked as Frank’s face flamed red. Laura laughed, but swatted Joe on the rear with the towel.

“Go shower, you scamp. I’m going to make breakfast.” Joe lightly rubbed where his mother connected still smirking at Frank. “So what do you think? Boxers on the doorknob, look elsewhere?” Frank flung a pillow at his laughing brother’s back as he retreated into the bathroom.

Frank heard a light yawn before blue eyes met his. Nancy froze a moment before bolting upright in bed. Her forehead hit Frank’s and they both sat back rubbing the sore spot. “I’m sorry.” Nancy was embarrassed. She had no idea when she fell asleep, but she hoped no one knew where she was now. Frank chuckled. “No problem. This is better than anything else that has happened this morning.” Nancy smiled before his words sank in. “What do you mean?” Frank wrapped an arm around Nancy’s shoulders. “Well, my mother opened the door a few minutes ago and found us sleeping together.” Nancy gasped and her cheeks flamed red. “Oh no. She knows we only slept, right?” Frank nodded. Nancy relaxed a bit into Frank. “But, then Joe saw us too.” Nancy groaned into Frank’s shirt. “Please tell me you’re kidding.” She pulled back to look into his face. “Nope, he walked up just as my mom suggested we work out a signal for letting her know you are in the room with me.” “She what?!” Frank chuckled at the look on Nancy’s face. “Joe suggested boxer shorts on the doorknob. What do you think?” Frank laughed at the blush that flooded Nancy’s face. “I’ll take that as a no then.” He grinned as he hugged her to him. He glanced over as he heard the bathroom door open. Joe gave a big grin and a cheeky wave before disappearing into his room. Nancy’s face burned hotter as she spoke into Frank’s chest. “I know you love him, but I may have to kill him.” Frank laughed. “Go take your shower. It will help.” Nancy nodded. “I’ll go, but unless you can reverse time I do not think anything can help us now.”
