When The Lights Go Down

Wake Up

(Mom) B, Nick....time to get up
*flips on the light* come on you two

(Nick) Ahh turn it off *throws his arm over his eyes*

(Bailey) *whines* turn it off *buries her head into Nick's shoulder*

(Mom) No, I've been trying to wake you two for 20 minutes now get up.

(Bailey) *whines* what time is it?

(Mom) twenty after seven

(Nick) 's too early

(Mom) I have some stuff I need to do today to get you registered for school and I want you two on a better sleep schedule. You start on Wednesday. Come on, out of bed I'm not leaving this room til I know you are awake

*Both whine*

(Nick) we are awake...can you shut off the light?

(Mom) nope, I'm going downstairs now...are you good?

(Nick) yes

*Mom disappears downstairs*

*Bailey hops out of bed and flips off the light then hops back into bed*

(Nick) *laughs* nice one *both them start to snuggle in and fall back asleep*

(Mom) *yelling from downstairs* you two better be out of that bed!

*both sit up*

(B and Nick) WE ARE

*Nick and B walk downstairs to get some breakfast,B pours them each a bowl of cereal while Nick tests his blood sugar and types his carbs into his omnipod*

(Bailey) *cocks a brow* everything ok?

(Nick) pretty low... I'll be fine *grabs some juice* I am not looking forward to school

(Bailey) I am! I cannot wait

(Nick) yea, because you are a social butterfly, you hate being home. I'd rather just stay home and do the homeschooling thing and then get to chill out and not deal with people

(Bailey) *laughing* you are such an old grumpy man. You know, for someone who's favorite activity is being by themselves you sure have chosen an odd profession.

*Nick nods as he eats his cereal*

(Mom) Ok, I'm heading out...put those dishes into the dishwasher when you are done, don't leave them in the sink and do a dish and laundry roundup in your rooms as well, I'll be back later, behave! *walks out the door*

(Bailey) She acts like we are unruly

(Nick) We? She wasn't talking to me...I'm the good one

*B rolls her eyes and loads her breakfast dishes into the dishwasher then heads upstairs to take a shower*

*later that evening B is straightening her hair getting ready for the live chat when Nick walks in*

(Nick) why do you even bother straightening you hair...it takes forever

(Bailey) curls are overrated...I hate my hair curly...makes me feel like I'm 5

(Nick) well are you almost done because the chat goes live in 15 minutes

(Bailey) yup, wearing what I have on just wanted to flatiron my hair

(Nick) nervous?...'cause I am

(Bailey) little bit...only because I feel like this might just make everyone hate me more, why are you nervous? You guys do these all the time

(Nick) yea but I don't usually have to talk all that much because Joe and Kevin are there tonight its just you and me

(Bailey) I can talk enough for the both of us *winks at Nick*

(Nick) oh boy...what have we done
