After spending the night with Thomas, Lena had ended up waking up stupidly early and she was unable to fall back to sleep. She dressed in her bloomers and one of Thomas' Joy Division shirts before shoving her pink hair up into a messy bun. She left Thomas sleeping, and she stole out to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. Then she seated herself at the table with her booklet of staff paper and she started scribbling notes to see if the music in her head was actually worthy of being a song.

She heard footsteps approaching her and she looked up with a smile when she caught sight of Thomas' son, Jamie. "Good morning!" she said brightly.

"She loves meeting people," Lena smiled at Jamie. "I can bring her over sometime. And you can...I dunno, art. Gosh, I'm clueless about it," she winked.

Lena heard commotion in the hallway and she looked up to see Thomas stumble out of his room, rubbing at his eyes. "Murgh?"

"Morning sunshine!" Lena said brightly. "I'm gonna steal your son. He's awesome and so he's moving in with me."

"I protest?" Thomas half-mumbled.

Jamie smiled. "Sounds good to me. I'm sure we'll figure something out. And hey, I'm less than clueless about music, so it evens out."

He laughed as his dad appeared, really not awake. "It's true," he said. "I'm moving into Lena's artist commune apartment...thing. It's gonna be awesome."

Thomas made a sad face and he sat beside Lena. "I could try to start an artist commune here," Thomas suggested, though not seriously.

"There's totally enough space for that," Lena said as she leaned over to plant a kiss on his cheek which caused Thomas to light up adorably. "Here, toast." She handed him a piece and giggled as Thomas looked like he had just been handed a piece of gold bullion.

Jamie just snickered and continued eating his eggs. "Yeah, we could stick them in our tiny closets," he said.

He got up and poured his dad some coffee. That emptied the pot, so he put another one on to brew. "I think there's still some eggs left, if you want some," he added.

"I'll be okay-" Thomas started to say, but Lena arched her eyebrow at him and Thomas' eyes widened. "I...think I'm being peer pressured to eat breakfast."

"You could fit into my jeans, Mister. Go have eggs!" she said sternly.

Thomas just glanced at Jamie and then he smiled. He had a girlfriend who had apparently just spent the morning with his son and now she was ordering him to eat. She was taking care of him. Out of nowhere he said, "you guys make me so happy."

"And you are a gigantic sap monster," Lena informed him before kissing his cheek again.

"As far as peer pressure goes, it could be worse," Jamie said, dishing up what was left of the eggs. "Besides, if she hadn't said anything, I would have given them to you anyway." He set the plate and mug down in front of his dad.

"He really is sometimes," Jamie agreed. "But it's just who he is." He smiled.

Thomas just grinned and dug into his breakfast.

"I'll help clean up," Lena jumped up and went to rinse off the used plates to stick them in the dishwasher.

With Lena in the other room, though she could still see and hear everything since the kitchen only had a half-wall, Thomas looked up from his breakfast. "Yes yes, it's who I am. But I'm still happy. She's pretty good, isn't she?"

"Oi, that is so putting him on the spot!" Lena protested from the kitchen, but she was laughing.

"She is," Jamie agreed. "We were talking for a while before you got up. She mentioned bringing her sister by sometime, apparently she's an artist too, and she's been traveling all over for the past five years. She said we should hang out and be arty together. Which I can get behind. So yes. She's pretty good."

"Ilsa?" Thomas asked and Lena nodded. "Ilsa is really sweet, I think you'll like her. These are great eggs! Mmm and coffee. I officially like this morning."

Lena just smiled to herself. Thomas was a gigantic dork, so it was just lucky that was her kind of thing.

"Then let the artyness commence," Jamie said, drinking some more of his coffee. "Glad you like them. But we're going to need more cheese soon, Lena ate some and I used...well, most of the rest."

[thomas_kemp]

"Cheese thieves!" Thomas said with a laugh. "I'll head out and get some later. Lena and I were discussing a trip to the Met in a few hours if you want to come too? We're going to pretend we have culture."

Lena nodded sagely. "We're almost sure we can be convincing."

"Perhaps, but it was delicious thievery," Jamie pointed out. "Delicious, melty thievery."

"Sure," he agreed. "Though fair warning, you'll probably have to come and find me in the depths of the museum."

"I think we could handle that," Thomas chuckled. He rose and ruffled Jamie's hair and then he stole a kiss from Lena before heading back to his room to dress for the museum.
