He woke up after about 30 minutes. Her long brunette spilled everywhere, and it smelled like that coconut shampoo she had. He loved that scent. He loved the rose scented shampoo she had as well.
He let his head rest so he could just lay there and breathe in her hair.
He figured he had to wake her soon enough, but for now he could just lay there and enjoy it all.
He let his mind wander. The future.
The perfect future had always been being a tier one operator until he was carried out feet first. Now he wasn't so sure anymore.
He had lived in that same three-feet world as Jason lived in. He never really planned anything, except for missions. Never thought of what could be, or what he wanted the next week, next month or year.
But now? He just wanted to be there. He didn't have the urge to gear up and be with his brothers on in some godforsaken place on the other side of the earth. He just wanted to be there, with her arm resting on his chest.
His mind even allowed itself to wonder if kids were in their future. Because as sure as she would allow it, it would be THEIR future. He didn't care about his future, but THEIR that was an important future.
What would their kids look like? Would they be tall like him, or short like her? They probably would have either dark blond or brunette hair either way. Would they have his square-ish face shape, or her more heart shaped one? Would they have that adorable little point her hair went down in, or not?
He toyed around with the idea of five years into the future. Of course he would be good enough to work, maybe not as a SEAL team member, but he'd be working. Green team instructor, some sort of security detail for someone who thought they were more important than they really were, something.
Five years from now they would have two or three kids. Probably two, three was a lot in five years. He imagined the oldest one being a girl, a true copy of how Emily had looked when she was a kid, maybe a bit lighter hair. Maybe his blue-grey eyes.
The youngest could be a boy. More his face and body type, but her colors.
He didn't know much about the future. Didn't really know anything. But he knew he wanted to spend it together with her.

"Em… We should join the others…" he whispered, rubbing a thumb over her shoulder.
She stirred a bit.
"Emily…"
She blinked awake.
"We should join the others again… Soon."
She yawned, "How long did we sleep?"
"You? About forty minutes. I woke up ten minutes ago…"
"And you didn't wake me?"
"I just woke you up now…" he chuckled, "Trust me, Rob's probably still flat out. Amy too. Dad might've started his quest for coffee… And mom… She's just… I'm pretty sure she's immune to her own cooking."
Emily chuckled, "Yeah?"
Metal nodded, "So, what do you say? Get up and search for some coffee?"
Emily nodded near his shoulder.
