"Jonah, can you grab the flour?" Monica asked with a small smile.

He went to cabinet and handed her the flour but also took out a bag of Cheetos she had and started to eat some.

"You're supposed to be helping," Monica chuckled.

"I am."

"By eating Cheetos?"

"Mhm."

"Not very helpful unless you shove one in my mouth."

Jonah gave her one and kept eating.

"I need peanut butter. Darling?"

"Yes, Dear?"

"It's in the cabinet by the fridge, if you wouldn't mind grabbing it."

Jonah nodded and wiped his hands before retrieving it.

"Thanks," Monica smiled.

"Hey, we're here!" Lucia called from the foyer.

"Hey, guys! In the kitchen," Jonah called, peeking out.

"It's good to see you both," Lucia smiled.

"Feels like a long time." Denny laid out on the couch.

"Yes, it does," Lucia chuckled. "You tired, Denny?"

"A little."

"Aw." Lucia kissed his forehead. "Want something to drink?"

"Nah. I'm fine, but thanks."

"Alright."

Denny smiled.

Lucia went to help Monica. "Um...aren't you guys supposed to be baking and not kissing?"

Monica pulled away from Jonah and blushed slightly. "Probably," she chuckled.

"Gosh," Lucia laughed. "You guys are too funny."

"What? We're madly in love," Jonah smiled cheekily.

"I see that."

Jonah nuzzled Monica's cheek with his nose.

"Okay, this is getting sickening," Lucia gagged.

"You just miss Sean."

"True," Lucia sighed.

"But you'll be like us when you have him back here."

"Oh, please. We were never like that," Lucia chuckled.

"You will be."

"God, I hope not."

Jonah chuckled.

"I'm starving," Denny interjected, entering the kitchen. "What do we have to eat?"

"We ordered pizza," Monica smiled. "It should be coming soon."

"Good," Denny grinned.

"It has sardines on it," Jonah smirked jokingly.

"Ick," Lucia frowned.

Jonah chuckled.

"Denny, we need better friends," Lucia sighed.

"I concur." Denny raised his hand in agreement.

"What edible food do we have?"

"I'm teasing," Jonah smiled.

"Good," Lucia sighed in relief. "So, I feel like it's been a while since we've all been together. We should all get each other caught up with what's going on."
