Julia stirred and sighed under her breath, always enjoying waking up like
she was doing now -- which meant feeling Derek next to her.  Was it morning
already?

Ugh, even with being a morning person herself, she wasn't ready for this and
cracked open an eye to look at the sleeping form beside her.  And poor Derek
looked like he needed a few more hours sleep.  She looked at the alarm clock
on the bedside table and carefully reached for it to keep it from going off.

The other Legacy members wouldn't be there until late morning, Kat and
Rachel would probably sleep in considering they spent the night watching tv
and Alex?  Alex would most likely sleep in if at all possible.

And mentally going through a check list of things to do today, Julia knew it
was more than possible.

"Works for me." she murmured as she laid her head back in it's seemingly
favorite spot over Derek's heart and closed her eyes.  Even Amelia wasn't
ready to start kicking Momma's tummy just yet.

Derek slept until rays of light from the window touched his face.  He opened
his eyes slowly and rolled over to glance at the clock.  The time he saw
made him sit bolt upright.  It was after 9:00 and to the best of his
knowledge Kristen had not called as he'd asked.  He got out of bed dressing
quickly and headed straight for the control room, cursing softly.  Nick was
an early riser, they could have very well left by now.

Once inside he called Boston.
