A/N: I'm working on putting some new stuff up on the internet. It's the summer I think I'll make a dent. Or at least I hope.

6 months later

Married life was working out for me so far. There were some good sides to being married. I had someone to wake up next to and so far I didn't mind seeing his face the first thing in the morning. He had his annoying habits but we all did. So far they didn't bug me to much. I was enjoying being Mrs. McDermott.

At the moment I was spending a couple extra moments in bed with my husband before we had to get up for work. I had gotten home a late last night and I wasn't ready to deal with getting up and getting ready just yet. The good thing about being an early riser is that most of the time you wake up before the alarm clock goes off. Which I guess you could say is good for us because Conner has a habit of trying to kill the alarm clock when it goes off waking him up for work.

When we had been dating there had been times when I would have been in his shower getting ready for work and when I got out to finish getting ready, all you would see is the remains of his clock on the floor because it had tried to wake him up. The first time it had happened I thought he had knocked it over, but after witnessing first hand what he did with the thing... It was a wonder were he got all that strength before he even woke up. It had went out the window a couple of times. You could call it an annoying habit, but if you ever watched him go at the clock... It was just funny to watch.

The clock was going to see another day to, because I wanted to wake Conner up myself, and hope I wasn't thrown through a window. He had yet to do that to me.

I tried the gentle approach by whispering in his ear, and gently tapping him. When that didn't work, I just picked up a pillow and hit him with it.

"Mommy, five more minutes," he responded groggily rolling over.

I grinned, well that was interesting. When has anyone hear anything like that from Conner McDermott. I decided I didn't like him calling me mommy very much so I went for another approach.

He groaned under the weight of me on him, but opened his eyes to glare at me.

"I there a reason that you had to pounce on me?" he asked testily with an annoyed look on his face, that I kissed off his face.

I pouted at him, "I was only trying to wake you up," I said innocently.

"You called me your mother. I thought it was only right to set you strait."

"Yes, you did set me strait on that," he told me waking up a little, and not looking half as annoyed as he was ten seconds ago.

"Yep," I conformed for him with a grin on my face.

Conner spent no time at all making up his mistake on calling me mommy. He made it up to me in bed, and then again in the shower. We were both late for work, but I don't think that bothered either of us very much.

"Liz, have you seen my shoes?" Conner asked the next afternoon, while we were both trying to get ready for my parents barbecue.

He was all dressed and ready to go except for his gym shoes, while I was still in the shower. It annoyed me how fast he could get ready. Though he wouldn't get ready half as fast without me because he doesn't know were anything is yet. I was hoping it would pass, but I was loosing faith. He had worn shoes since we had moved into our house. He should know were those were.

"Maybe there by the bed," I responder with rinsing my hair, trying to think.

He went in search for them and I finished my shower, and got ready. I got out of the shower and quickly dried my hair and such. As I was putting on a read tank top over my head I saw him come into our room in his favorite shorts and a black t-shirt, he had his Nikes on his feet too. I thanked the heavens he had found them and went to the dresser to get my purse.

A/N: It's short, but it's an update. I was going to make it longer, but I'm working on other stories today so I'm busy. The plot is coming. This story does have one. I know what the dilemma is going to be I just haven't figured out how to introduce it yet. I'm hoping the next update will coming a whole lot faster then it took to get this chapter out.
