Neil awoke still on the couch, the television showed nothing but snow flitting across the screen. He grabbed the remote and clicked the off button. He groaned rubbing his face, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. He looked at his watch squinting to make the time readable. Was it really only six in the morning? He stood stretching and looking around the room. He spotted Lauren's purse on the table near the door and laughed to himself, certainly she and Keith had both had more than their share and wouldn't be awake until at least noon. He went to the bathroom for a shower to help wake himself up. After dressing in jeans and a long sleeve blue pullover he pulled on his tennis shoes to make his way down to the hotel gift shop. He didn't know if Mia would be feeling better and thought it was a nice idea to buy her a little something. As he made his way through the lobby he was waved at and approached by a few fans. He greeted them graciously posing for photos. He bid them farewell intent on his mission. He perused the small shop, after nearly ten minutes he chose a beanie baby style monkey for Mia and then spotted a bucket of roses in the back of the store. He picked out a yellow one for Mia and a pink one for Fynn. He smiled to himself as he had the clerk carefully place the items in a bag to avoid any questions or wandering eyes. He could see the tweets already. Saw you in the gift shop, stuff for the family? Who were the roses for, new girl? A list ran through his head and it was not something he wanted to be public with just yet. He went back to the suite and called in a room service order to be delivered to Fynn's room by nine thirty. That would give him a chance to maybe sleep a little more. But the sleep did not come as he picked up his guitar and strummed.
"Mommy", Mia shook her mother's shoulder,"Mommy, someone's at the door."
"I'm coming baby," Fynn mumbled pulling her eyes open,"Just a sec," she called.
"Can I answer the door?", Mia jumped off the bed.
"Find out who it is sweetie," she covered her eyes and rolled onto her side.
"Who is it?", Mia called out at the door.
"Mia, it's Neil, may I come in?", Neil's voice came through he other side.
"Mommy, mommy it's Neil!", Mia said excitedly.
"Oh no," she grumbled sitting up and smoothing her hair back,"We're not even up yet."
"I have breakfast," Neil said.
"You can open the door Mi-pea."
"Hi Neil!", the little girl said opening the door widely.
"Hey Miss Mia, how are you feeling?", he smiled down at her.
"Much, much better. I'm hungry."
"Well, I thought some waffles would cheer you up," he pointed to the room service cart that he had made the attendant leave.
"Breakfast is here mommy!", Mia scampered into the room followed by Neil.
"Hey there", he smiled at Fynn, her clothes were wrinkled from sleeping in them and her hair was pulled into a low ponytail, small curls escaping here and there. Her hazel eyes were still sleepy,she looked rather beauitful for just rolling out of bed.
"Hi", she managed a small smile,"I'm not awake yet, haven't had coffee."
"No worries, Mia and I will get everything set up while you change. Right Mia?"
"Yeah," she cheered,"I know how mommy likes her coffee, she puts three creamers in it."
"See there, now you go change", he kissed her cheek.
"Mommy", Mia shook her mother's shoulder,"Mommy, someone's at the door."
"I'm coming baby," Fynn mumbled pulling her eyes open,"Just a sec," she called.
"Can I answer the door?", Mia jumped off the bed.
"Find out who it is sweetie," she covered her eyes and rolled onto her side.
"Who is it?", Mia called out at the door.
