Hanna smiled a bit when Sam ran from the table, giggling softly. Melody shook her head, smiling. "It's alright." She went to dump the eggs in the garbage disposal before she placed the plate in the sink and walked out of the kitchen, probably to get some sleep. Hanna stayed quiet, eating her food, until Olivia asked her a sudden question. She nearly dropped her fork, her eyes wide. "Wha--..." She bit her lip. "I-I...." She took a deep breath and let it out on a sigh. "Sure, he's nice and all." It wasn't really an answer, Olivia could've taken that any type of way.

Jake nodded to Melody, returning back to Hanna when Olivia had asked her that sudden question. His eyes remained slightly wide, not taking another sip of juice in case he ended up choking again at Hanna's answer. He just stared at her though, managing a smile curving at his lips. Olivia just stared at the answer she was given though. She liked the answer, it just wasn't what she was expecting exactly. She thought about asking more questions, but seeing as Hanna already felt uncomfortable, she figured she'd wait and ask Jake later. "Oh. O-okay." she grabbed her teddy that was sitting in the chair next to her, clutching it tightly as she jumped off the chair. "I'm gonna go in the playroom with Sam." Jake nodded his go ahead, and watched her disappear before glancing back over to Hanna with a shrug. "S-sorry about that." He bit his lip.

Hanna smiled a bit, ducking her head and cutting a piece of her pancakes. "It's okay." She whispered, taking the bite. She glanced up at Jake, a light blush on her cheeks. "Do they like me?" She asked suddenly.

Jake gave a light smile before returning back to his food, a bit hesitantly. He looked up again then when Hanna asked him that sudden question. He kind of saw that coming in a way too, he just knew she would probably be asking him something like that sooner or later. "Well, I'm sure Sam does. Being as outgoing as he is, he's not afraid to show his true feelings. Then again, you did save his life down by the lake." he bit his lip, his mind floating back to the day they first met. Then quickly focused his mind back on the present, and how Olivia felt about Hanna. Jake honestly couldn't figure out how his little sister felt about her actually. He bit his lip a little harder in thought as he said, "And Olivia....well, its actually kind of hard to tell what she's thinking, let alone feeling. She's more of the shy type; likes to hold everything in, you know? I don't know though, I'll have to ask her. I mean, if you don't mind me asking her how she feels about you..." he hesitated at his final thought.

Hanna smiled a bit. She was glad at least Sam liked her, but it bothered her a bit that Olivia might not, since they didn't know. She really wanted the kids to like her, especially now that she was dating their big brother. Not to mention they were all living together. "I don't mind. I'd really like to know."

Jake nodded with a light smile playing on his lips. "I'll ask her tonight then, right before they go to sleep." he decided, while a sweet smile was kept at his lips.

"Alright." Hanna smiled and quickly finished her breakfast. Licking her lips, she leaned forward to kiss Jake on his cheek, smiling gently. Glancing out of the window then, she bit her lip when she noticed rain clouds rolling in. "I-I'ma go get dressed." She said, standing a bit shakily. She went to put her plate in the sink before practically running out of the room up the stairs. She really hoped it wouldn't storm today, but it wasn't looking too good.

Jake smiled when she kissed him, returning the kiss back to her before following her to place his dishes in the sink as well. "Oh, alright--" he was cut off by Hanna running out of the kitchen and back up to her room. "--then." he finished his sentence, letting out a subtle sigh. Did I do something wrong....again? he couldn't help but think to himself, then, looking out the window, he started to get a possible idea of what was up. "Those clouds are getting pretty dark....and they are closing in on us." he said to himself, leaning against the counter, with his eyes still gazing out the window, watching as little raindrops began to fall from the dark sky.

Hanna, instead of going to get dressed like she'd said, instead coward in the corner of her room, on the floor next to her bed. It had started to rain, the lightening starting up as well, and it practically immobilized her. Thunder boomed just then, causing her to let out a scream, curling into a tighter ball and placing her head on her knees.

Jake continued to watch the rain fall down, watching the water droplets slide down the window he continued to stare out of. He watched the lightning come out, then the thunder next, flinching only slightly, but jumping up at the sound of a sudden scream. "Hanna?" He rushed toward the stairs, his feet pounding on each step he took before reaching Hanna's room where he found her curled in a tight ball in one of the corners. "Hanna..." he said, his eyes growing more worried for her, as it showed in his voice as well. He walked over to her, kneeling down next to her and pulled her into his arms. "Shh...it's okay, Hanna. I'm here." he tried soothing her, adding in a small kiss on her head.

Hanna barely heard Jake enter her room, but the second she felt him touch her, she whimpered his name and threw her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. "Jake..." A tear slid down her cheek. Thunder boomed again, and she gasped, jumping a bit.

"It's okay, Hanna. I'm here." he repeated, bringing his hand up around her back, stroking it gently. After hearing another thunderclap then, Jake heard another scream. But this one wasn't Hanna. "Jakeeee!" It was Olivia. And from the sound of it, she was running all around the house looking for her big brother, scared just as much as Hanna was, it seemed. Finally, after another moment of panic in the little girl's voice, followed by Sam's short squeals after, the kids found their big brother in the room comforting Hanna. He waved for the kids to join them, seeing as they looked just as scared as Hanna did; Olivia was squeezing her bear tighter than ever, and Sam just had that look on his face showing he needed to be comforted and soothed. The kids ran towards Jake and Hanna, curling up on Jake's other side, Sam being in the middle, and Jake just wrapped his arm around his siblings while his other arm was still wrapped tightly around Hanna. It seemed as though he was the only one who wasn't terrified of the storm, the only thing he was terrified was, were the other three being terrified.

Hanna moved closer to Jake, her eyes squeezed shut. She tried hard to stop trembling, especially now that his siblings were in the room with them. She didn't want to seem like a fraidy-cat, but that wasn't really working well. Curling tighter into a ball, she felt tears burning her eyes, and she immediately hated herself for being so wimpy.

Jake continued hugging the three of them close to him, having himself be in the middle them all. Jake turned to his siblings first, seeing Olivia whimpering louder and giving another little yelp when another clash of thunder hit while Sam just curled into a tighter ball against Jake's body; Sam's body was shaking now. "Shh...it's okay guys. I'm right here. You're safe, you hear me? You're both safe now." he continued to soothe them in a soft, gentle tone but still loud enough to hear over the rainfall and thunderstruck. He turned back to Hanna then, who looked just as frightened and scared as his siblings did. "Hanna..." he started again in his soft voice, "It's okay. You're okay." he whispered more in her ear, kissing her cheek lightly. "You're safe. As long as I'm here, nothing bad will ever happen to you." he said in a most promising tone as he gave her another soft kiss, this time on the corner of her lips, all while keeping his other arm around his shaking brother and sister.

Hanna rose her face, which was wet with tears, and kissed him lightly before tucking her face back into his chest. Her eye lids eventually began to droop, and within the next few minutes she was asleep. Even though it was still only mid-morning, the thunder storm had taken a lot of energy and a nap would do her good.
