Glimpses Of The Future – Lisa Davis
Sonny smiled broadly as he took the toothpick out of his mouth and tossed it into the bin that he was passing by as he wrapped his arm around Lisa's shoulders pulling her body in close to his as they wondered slowly through the Sunday morning market that Lisa had dragged him out too as she had been meaning to check it out for a while but between their recent bout of spin up after spin up she had not had a chance. The sun was high in the sky bathing them in warmth while the light breeze kept them cool enough that the warmth was enjoyable but not overwhelming. The market was full of all sorts of stalls from fresh farm produce and flowers to jewellery and fashion, to carvings and beautifully crafted knifes, as well as the divine smells of all sorts of different foods that were being cooked all around them. Truth was Sonny did not care about the market but he did care about Lisa who did not often want to go anywhere, not with such passion, and if it made her happy then he wanted her to enjoy their Sunday morning stroll through the market.
"Want to get a coffee?" Lisa asked breaking Sonny out of his musing as she knew that she had dragged him out of bed far too early for a Sunday morning after having woken him up although it was with a promise that they could take an afternoon nap together.
Sonny smiled as he looked at Lisa as he felt her hand that was resting on his chest slowly move across it with her fingers dancing over the fabric of his shirt sending his nerve endings into overdrive. "I want more than coffee." Sonny leered as he let the hand that was resting across her lower back drop down to her bottom which he squeezed.
"Behave Sonny. We are in public remember." Lisa reprimanded teasingly although he could see how her interest was peaked as there was a twinkle in her eyes.
Sonny chuckled as he moved his hand back up although he bought it forward letting his fingertips slip under the hem of her shirt and brush over the jut of her hip bone feeling the shiver go through her which made him smirk as it was exactly the reaction he was looking for from her as she pressed her body closer into him. There was no man alive that would enjoy having her body pressed against his more than Sonny. "We will start with the coffee." He could not resist making her shiver one more time before they separated as he swept his fingertips over the sensitive spot on her hip again.
"Yeah, we will." Lisa laughed as she reluctantly pulled herself away from him although she remain tucked into his side with her arm around his back as his arm remained draped over her shoulders. She was quickly distracted by the sight of a dress that was gently fluttering in the breeze on its hanger, it was gorgeous. She was not one for dresses all the time but she did like to get dressed up from time to time, and there was something that stuck out to her about it. It was a white satin striped material with spaghetti straps and cup detailing body-con dress; it was short but she actually did not mind it.
Sonny saw the way Lisa smiled and he followed her line of sight before his jaw dropped. "I think you should go and try it on." He did not even have to ask what she was looking at as she turned to look at him with a small flush rising on her cheeks. What he was not saying was that he wanted to see her in the dress knowing she would look even better than what he was already imagining in his head.
"Sonny." Lisa poked the tip of her tongue out between her lips as she looked at him before she looked back at the dress.
"Please Lisa, for me. I want to see you in that dress." Sonny's voice was barely above a whisper as it took on a husky tone.
Lisa raised an eyebrow questioningly as she raised her hand up to his jaw with her thumb caressing the corner of his lips before she reached up and pecked him on the lips before she looked back at the dress. "Okay." She whispered seemingly matching his tone as she could see the lust in his eyes that simply the thought of her in the dress was causing him.
With that agreement Sonny easily led Lisa over to the booth where the dress was and let go of her as the lady whose stall it was excitedly handed the dress over to Lisa and ushered her into the makeshift changing booth that she had set up a little further towards the back of the stall.
Lisa smoothed her hand down the silky satin fabric from her hip to the hem of the dress which went down to the middle of her thigh. It fit perfectly almost as if it was made just for her. She wished that she had a pair of strappy heels to complete the look but bare feet would have to do as she had kicked off her boots before she had taken off her jeans. She exhaled softly knowing that she would not be leaving the market without the dress as she turned around ready to walk out to show Sonny.
Sonny felt a little out of place standing in the middle of the stall of one off pieces of ladies clothing that were neatly and painstakingly hand stitched but he had seen the enamoured look on Lisa's face at the sight of the dress and he would not have let her leave without at least trying it on. Sonny heard Lisa call her name and he turned towards the makeshift changing room and felt as his jaw dropped as the rest of the world fell away as if they were the only two people. His woman was in a beautiful dress that fit her perfectly, bare foot, with her face devoid of make-up and her short hair gently blowing in the breeze. She was the most beautiful woman in the world. But what caught Sonny off guard was the feeling he got seeing her in white; in white he could picture her walking down the aisle towards him just as she was now.
Lisa swallowed as she watched Sonny closely wondering what he was thinking as he had not said anything. "Sonny?" The anticipation was killing her as she called out to him suddenly wondering if he did not like the dress or her in it.
Sonny cleared his throat as he raked his eyes up over Lisa's body until he met her eyes. "You look absolutely stunning, gorgeous Lisa." His voice was husky and tightly controlled as he watched how she lit up and smiled widely up at him.
"Yeah?" She was not fishing for a compliment instead she wanted to make sure he really liked the dress.
Sonny moved forward closing the gap between them quickly as he stood in front of her with his hands reaching out and resting over her fabric covered waist. "You have no idea how beautiful you are Lisa without the dress or with it, I don't care what you wear or don't wear because you always look beautiful." He was not reserved with his words because to him she was simply stunning. "Now you better get back in there and get changed because I wouldn't want to peel that dress off of you and have you screaming my name for everyone to hear right now." He smirked as she slapped his chest lightly although he certainly had plans to get her back into their bed later on in the day.
Lisa felt as a blush bloomed on her cheeks as she knew that Sonny meant every single word as he would not lie about something like that, not to her, not between them. "I love you." She whispered as she pressed her forehead against his for a few seconds before she stepped back into the changing room and closed the curtain.
Sonny blinked a few times before he moved away to stop himself from fulfilling his own needs instead choosing to pay the lady for the dress knowing that he wanted to see Lisa in it again. There was something incredible to him about seeing Lisa in a white dress that he wanted to see again and again, for as long as he lived.
Lisa smiled as she stepped out changed back into her flannel shirt, jeans and boots with a scarf draped loosely round her neck, and before she could even pull her wallet out, the lady took the dress, packaged it neatly and put it into the bag. "This dress was made for you." The storekeeper commented as she handed Lisa the bag with a glance in Sonny's direction when she went to pay for it. Lisa thanked her before she moved towards Sonny who was surveying the market from where he was stood and she knew it was a natural habit for him to do as the Navy had conditioned him to be observant of his surroundings at all times.
Sonny turned instinctively back to Lisa as she approached him. "Ready to go and get that coffee?" He asked smiling as he pulled her into his side loving how it felt having her tucked into him.
"Thank you, you didn't have too." Lisa told him as admittedly she had no idea of how much it cost.
Sonny led Lisa away from the stall at a leisurely pace as they finally headed towards the coffee cart that they had spied earlier. "I know I did not have too but I wanted too." There were so many things swirling around in his head but all of them revolved around the beautiful woman that loved him and that he loved wholeheartedly. Things were complicated and yet somehow he wanted to make them more complicated as that niggling picture of her in a white dress settled in his brain and even deeper in his heart but he knew the sacrifices that they would have to make and neither of them were ready for that either.

The dark grey clouds rolled in not long after they had finished their coffees as they continued to explore the stalls of the market, making a couple of small purchases along the way although Lisa had bought a couple of gifts for Sonny but had yet to give them to him as she wanted to surprise him with them later.
"It looks like it is going to rain soon." Lisa stated softly not wanting the morning to end as she was enjoying the normality that came with spending a morning at the market, shopping and meandering leisurely with the man she loved.
Sonny looked up towards the sky that had darkened significantly in the last few minutes before he looked back at Lisa. "You ready to go home?" He asked wanting it to be her choice as she was enjoying herself, and a little rain was not going to hurt them if they choose to continue to look around.
"Yeah, I am." Lisa was ready to go home as she wanted to curl up with Sonny and spend the rest of the day lazily cuddling and napping while stealing kisses from him.
Sonny smiled and responded by stealing a quick kiss from her lips just as the sound of a child wailing sounded out and had the two of them pulling apart and frantically looking around as they were immediately on alert.
Lisa looked to her left and saw a little girl dressed in a black dress with big red polka dots on it standing about 26 feet away from her looking around frantically as big teardrops slid down her cheeks and fell onto her shoes as she cried out for her Mommy. Yet what shocked Lisa the most was the way people were ignoring the little girl who was obviously distressed. "Sonny." Lisa barely let the word slip from her lips before she was making her way across the distance knowing that he would follow her.
Lisa stopped about a foot and a half away from the little girl and knelt down in front of her wanting to be as non-threatening as she could be. "Hi honey, my name is Lisa. Can I help you?" Lisa kept her voice soft as the little girl looked terrified.
"I lost my Mommy." The little girl cried and hiccupped after a few moments of hesitation as she looked around for her Mom again.
"What's your name honey? Maybe I can help you find your Mom." Lisa did not want to scare the already scared little girl who had the most startling grey eyes she had ever seen.
"M-Morgan." Morgan hiccupped again as she drew her thumb into her mouth once again anxiously looking around for her mother.
"It's nice to meet you Morgan. Where did you last see your Mom?" Lisa was glad that it was her and Sonny that had approached the helpless little girl because she knew that she would be safe with them, at least until they located her Mom.
"Over there." Morgan used her free hand to point over to the large stall that was filled with wooden barrels full of fresh cut flowers straight from the garden as she spoke around her thumb that was still pressed against her lips.
Lisa followed Morgan's pointing before she returned her gaze to the shivering little girl before she stood up as the cement was hard on her knees. "Morgan, this is Sonny. We are going to help you find your Mom. What is her name?" Lisa knew it was best to stay close to where she had last seen her mother although it was kind of strange that her mother had not heard her wail and had moved away without making sure she was beside her.
Sonny stepped forward and naturally his hand found its way to rest on her lower back as he had deliberately hung back as he did not want to scare Morgan; hanging back had given him a front row seat to another beautiful sight as he got to witness just how amazing Lisa was with children, how maternal she was even though he did not think that she realised just how good she was. "Hi." He kept his voice soft and tried to clamp down on the Texan drawl.
Morgan sniffled as she stepped closer and took Lisa's hand in her own waiting until Lisa had wrapped her hand around hers before she looked around the market again for her Mom. "Mommy." Morgan answered as a few more tears slipped down her cheeks. "But sometimes people call her Susan." She supplied as Lisa nodded.
"Alright honey." Lisa smiled down at Morgan as she shuffled closer to her. "I think I saw a little information kiosk near the entrance when we first came in. Maybe she went there or we can find an officer who can help?" She looked to Sonny.
Sonny understood what Lisa was saying as he shifted his gaze to Morgan who had begun to shiver as the air had cooled rapidly and the sky had darkened considerably. He knew they could not risk removing her from the area where she and her Mom had been separated so it meant that he and Lisa had to separate momentarily. "Okay, I will go and see if I can find someone. Maybe they have a PA system, can interrupt the music and let her Mom know that she is waiting by the flower stall." He kept his voice soft before he pecked Lisa on the lips. He went to move away but stopped and shrugged off his flannel shirt leaving him in a black t-shirt, it was not much but it would help stave off the cold a little bit. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He said as he pressed the shirt into Lisa's hand before he left.
Lisa watched as Sonny retreated away from her and Morgan but hearing Morgan sniff had her attention as she knelt down in front of her again. "Let's move just over there honey, it will be a little warmer." Lisa wrapped Sonny's shirt around Morgan ignoring how it swallowed her as she tipped her head towards the flower stall that had a large marquee erected to protect the flowers from the elements that was closed in.
"Okay." Morgan said before she let Lisa lead her over towards the marquee slowly as she once again looked around for her Mom.
Morgan sat herself down on the curb with her knees tucked up to her chest as she held tightly onto Sonny's shirt with one hand while her other hand clutched Lisa's tightly as she sat next to her. "It's okay honey. We will find your Mom." Lisa reassured her knowing that she could not hug the girl to comfort her like every instinct in her body was telling her too given how she had only met her because she had been crying for her Mom so instead she settled her free hand on her small back and ran her hand gently over the flannel shirt of Sonny's trying to warm her up with the friction.
Morgan sniffled and a few more tears slipped from her eyes and flowed down her cheeks dripping down onto her knees.
Lisa hated that she could not comfort the little girl and desperately wished that her mother would appear so that she would stop crying. "What were you and your Mom doing at the market today honey?" Lisa asked hoping that she could distract her by getting her talking.
Morgan looked at Lisa wide eyed before she looked back over her small shoulder at the flowers. "We came to get flowers for the table. Mommy wanted new pretty flowers even though Daddy said they were a waste."
"The flowers are pretty, which are your favourites?" Lisa asked having heard the hint of sadness that laced Morgan's tone and could read between the lines well enough to suspect that the flowers had caused some type of argument between Morgan's parents.
"I like those." Morgan pointed to the sunflowers that were big and bright as they were in full bloom. "What do you like?"
Lisa looked around the stall before she turned back to Morgan. "Well my absolute favourite flower is not here; its called a bluebonnet but I also like roses." She admitted knowing that Sonny had been the one to introduce her to bluebonnets knowing the symbolism that they held by him gifting them to her. The fact that they were native to Texas only made them even more precious as it was very rarely that she got them which made them all the more special when she did.
"Mommy likes roses, pink ones because Daddy always used to give them to her but he doesn't anymore." Morgan supplied confirming Lisa's suspicions that Morgan's parents relationship was not great.
Lisa felt as a pit in her stomach formed wondering if Morgan's separation from her mother was more than just accidental but she pushed it aside unaccepting of the thought that rattled around her brain. "My friend Clay bought me some yellow roses once and they were beautiful, actually he gets them for me once a year, and occasionally Sonny will get me orange roses if he can't get the bluebonnets." She had no idea why she was telling a little girl who got her flowers. Clay always bought her a bouquet of yellow flowers although he pretended that he never did and he only gave them to her once a year – on the date that she lost her baby and if he could not get them cause they were deployed or spun up then he made sure to get something with a yellow rose on it, once he had got her a bouquet of yellow paper roses that she still had; she had asked him once after she had caught him putting them on her desk and he had told her to look up what the colour meant and she had, yellow roses meant friendship, to care, and that they were considered a good choice for someone needing a bit of a happiness. Sonny had drunkenly confessed that he bought her orange roses after the florist had told him what they symbolised after he could not find his beloved bluebonnets - passion, attraction, desire and fascination.
Morgan smiled softly as she peered up at Lisa and squeezed her hand a little tighter. "Thank you for helping me."
Lisa smiled suddenly overwhelmed but doing her best not to show it. "You are welcome honey."

Sonny hurried back across the market as the first spits of rain began to fall before it settled into that terrible drizzle that continuously fell down and covered everything making things slippery as the warmth seeped away and changed into a bitter cold. His visit to the information kiosk had been rather unhelpful but he had found a local police officer who was going to hand off a thief that he had caught to another patrol car that was on his way then he would come and find them after he had shown the officer his Navy identification.
Sonny stopped in the middle of the now empty blocked off road seeing Lisa with Morgan pressed into her side and her arm wrapped around the little girl protectively as she tried to keep her out of the rain without being out of sight just in case. Sonny was floored by how natural Lisa was with children, and in that moment he wondered what she wanted. As quickly as that thought appeared, he shelved it as it was not the time or the place too.
Sonny moved across the rest of the road narrowing the distance between him and them until there was none left seeing as Lisa looked up and sent a smile his way even as her damp hair stuck to her skin. "An officer is on his way over to help, he just had to hand someone over." He kept the information safe to hear for small ears.
Lisa smiled and nodded her head just as she looked back at Morgan knowing that Sonny would not take any offence to it. Sonny shifted so that he was sat on the curb next to Lisa and his hand automatically went to her back hating that she felt cold to the touch but knowing that they could not move and seek shelter otherwise it could cause a whole boatload of trouble that neither of them needed or wanted while he kept a firm grip with his other hand on the bags that held their shopping.
"So what have you two ladies been chatting about?" Sonny asked longing for a toothpick to chew on but he did not have one.
"We were talking about flowers, our favourites." Lisa supplied.
"Is that right?" Sonny asked curiously as he lent back a bit further to get his face out of the drizzle.
"What's your favourite flower Sonny?" Morgan asked him making Lisa smile.
"Well you see now that is a great question there youngin'." Sonny answered as he looked at Lisa who stifled a laugh at his over exaggerated tone but it got Morgan to smile. "I am particularly fond of bluebonnets because they remind me of someone very special." He could not help the way his eyes drifted to meet Lisa's wishing he could steal a kiss but he knew better than too.
"That's one of Lisa's too!" Morgan pointed out with the exuberance that only an excitable child could have.
Lisa smiled and shook her head before she looked back at Morgan knowing that Sonny already knew the information.
Sonny smiled at Lisa, one of those genuine unabashed smiles that showed just how happy he was, as he always loved when he gave Lisa flowers because she would get all girly on him as she would bow her head, let her eyelids flutter closed until her silky eyelashes rested delicately against the top of her cheeks, before she bought the flowers up to her nose and smelt them with a broad smile on her face. There were many things that she did that made their way onto his list of favourites but that one action sequence had to be near the top. "That's why I give them to her cause I know how much she likes them, and every lady deserves to get flowers."
A faint colouring came over Lisa's cheeks as she blushed at Sonny's words as he reminded her of yet another reason why she loved him although she did not need flowers to be reminded of that at all. Under that thick ornery façade was a gentleman with a heart of absolute pure gold.
Morgan smiled broadly before it faltered as her small eyes once again searched around the market that was emptying quicker as the rain got heavier for her Mom but not seeing her again.
Sonny and Lisa shared a look having seen that the little girl who despite her brave face was still anxiously looking around for her Mom, desperately waiting for her return. "It's going to be okay honey, I am sure your Mom will be back soon." Lisa rubbed her hand over her back once more hoping that her words would come to fruition soon although she could not help but be sceptical as it seemed more and more like Morgan had been abandoned.
Sonny caught sight of the police officer making his way towards them and quickly untangled himself from Lisa before he stood up and made his way over to greet the officer.
"Petty Officer Quinn. Officer Mark Jacobs. I take it that is the young girl that has been separated from her mother." The two men shook hands.
Sonny looked back at Lisa and Morgan seeing Lisa was rubbing Morgan's back trying to comfort her. "Yes Sir, and that is Ensign Lisa Davis with her." Sonny answered formally knowing that all he had said when they first met was that his friend was still with the little girl.
"Okay, shall we drop the formalities?" Mark asked not one for being addressed by his rank.
"Sure." Sonny was happy to not be addressed as Petty Officer when he was on his own time.
"May I talk to her?" Mark asked as he watched how Lisa and Morgan interacted seeing that Lisa was good with the scared little girl although he refrained from saying anything in relation to that.
"Of course." Sonny led the way as he took a seat beside Lisa again. "Lisa, this is Mark. Morgan this is Mark and he is a police officer who is going to help us find your Mom."
Mark crouched down although he maintained a distance as he did not want to overwhelm the little girl whose eyes once again looked anxiously around the market. "Hi sweet pea, these kind people tell me that you have lost your Mom. Well I want to help so could you tell me your last name and your address?" He kept his voice soft not wanting to scare her although he did notice the way she seemed to squeeze Lisa's hand a little tighter.
Morgan looked at Lisa seeking permission and reassurance. "It's okay honey, this officer just wants to help you get home to your Mom and Dad." Lisa reassured her quickly.
Morgan turned back to Mark after a few more seconds of looking at Lisa. "Summers, my last name." She paused and her bottom lip began to quiver again. "We move a lot, I don't know the address." A few tears slipped from her eyes again and tumbled down her cheeks at that admission.
"That's okay sweet pea. What is your Dad's name?" Mark already had been given the information that Sonny had gleamed from Lisa's conversation with the little girl before he had gone in search of help.
"Justin." Morgan replied as she snuggled closer into Lisa's side, and Lisa wrapped her arm around her a little tighter.
Mark could see that the little girl did not want to answer any more questions and he could not blame her. "Thank you sweet pea, you have been very helpful. I will be back in a minute." He wanted to step away to make the call hoping that he could get an address for her parents just off of their names and that it was current given what she had said about moving around a lot. With a single solemn nod at Lisa and Sonny he stood up and moved away ignoring the way the rain fell down on him as he made a call.

Sonny bounced his foot up and down until Lisa reached over and rested her hand on top of his knee, stilling his actions, but he could not help it as the flurry of activity moved around him as they found themselves at the police station with Morgan as they waited for the police to locate her parents which seemed to be proving difficult. Neither him nor Lisa would have left the young girl at the market and they were not about to leave her alone at the police station that they had been escorted too as the search of the market had not found Susan.
Morgan had climbed into Lisa's lap once they were seated in the uncomfortable plastic chairs that they had been escorted to as the noise and all of the activity was disorientating to the scared little girl. Lisa had wrapped her arm loosely around Morgan as she rested back against her chest.
Lisa felt as anxious as Sonny did but she was doing her best not to show it as she did not want to upset Morgan but she was seriously beginning to wonder how a mother could forget her child but then again she knew the pain of never having her mother around when she was younger before the fire that claimed her sister's life.
Sonny felt as Lisa tensed before seeing her pale. "Lisa." He called for her attention wondering what was going on in her head but knowing better than to ask without being in the privacy of one of their homes. He waited until she turned to look at him. "You okay?" He asked softly.
Lisa gave him a small smile before she looked down at Morgan whose little fingers were drawing small patterns over her arm which was keeping her entertained. "I am okay." She assured him although it sounded hollow even to her own ears. "How long have we been here?" She asked knowing this was not how they had planned for their day to go at all but then again they were used to having their plans changed at the drop of a hat.
Sonny looked up at the clock that was hung up on the wall knowing he had clocked the time when they had first entered the station as he had followed behind the patrol car that had Lisa and Morgan in, in Lisa's car. "A little over an hour." Sonny knew that it was closer to the hour and a half mark but it did not matter all that much.
"Hmmm…" Lisa adjusted just enough to rest her head down on Sonny's shoulder without upsetting Morgan.
Sonny reached up and brushed the strand of hair that had fallen over her face back behind her ear before he pressed a quick kiss to her forehead. "They will find them." He murmured softly not wanting Morgan to overhear him as he made sure to stay still so that they were comfortable.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Morgan wiggled and slid down off of Lisa's lap before she ran across to her parents as they had been escorted into the room by Officer Mark who had done his upmost to find them and from the looks of it he had succeeded. Morgan practically jumped into her Dad's arms as he scooped her up and held her tightly against his chest as her Mom rubbed her back and cried openly.
Lisa pushed herself up and onto her feet as Sonny mirrored her movements watching as Morgan was reunited with her parents which was a sweet moment.
Mark, the police officer, still had a few questions for Morgan's mom Susan especially given they had found her at home with her husband Justin completely oblivious that they were missing their child, and so would social services. However he knew that Morgan had gotten lucky with two Navy members coming to her aid as he had seen how they cared for her even though it had only been for a short time. Mark moved across the room and stopped beside Sonny.
"What happens now?" Lisa asked softly after she had cleared her throat but her throat still felt clogged as she continued watching the way Morgan's parents fawned over her. Whatever was going on between the parents clearly did not affect the love they had for the daughter if what they were witnessing was anything to go by.
Mark looked at Lisa wishing he could hold off for a little longer before saying anything but he knew better than to keep them waiting. "I have some questions that they need to answer individually, and a social worker from social services will pay them a visit in the coming days."
"Where were they when you finally found them?" Sonny asked as he rubbed his hand over Lisa's spine feeling like there was something that he was missing.
"At home, Justin was working from his office at their home while Susan was in the greenhouse gardening. Neither of them seemed to even notice that Susan had returned without Morgan or that she was not even in the house." That was what was troubling to the police officer as parents were always frantic when they lost their children even if it was just at the local grocery store but these two did not even realise that their little girl had been left all by her lonesome.
"How could they forget that sweet little girl?" Lisa asked shaking her head wondering if what she was seeing was the real relationship or a show but it was not her place to question it.
"That's what I want to find out." Mark was watching the family closely as he tried to get a read on their dynamics.
"Mommy, Daddy, I want you to meet Lisa and Sonny." Morgan had wiggled and squirmed until her father had put her back down on the ground and she skipped across the room to where the two were standing observing. She stopped at Lisa's side and smiled up at her.
Mark stepped forward. "Lisa and Sonny were the kind people who heard Morgan crying out for you and stayed with her up until now."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Justin reached his hand out and shook hands with Sonny and then Lisa. "Thank you so much for taking care of my little girl." No one missed the sharp and bitter look that was directed towards his wife before he turned and smiled down at Morgan
"Not a problem Sir. We are just glad that she is okay, and back with the both of you." Lisa addressed Justin all the while watching Susan who seemed to have her eyes anywhere but on her daughter.
"Susan, you should be apologising to Morgan and thanking Lisa and Sonny who cared for our daughter after you forgot her." The sharp tone from Justin made Susan visibly blanch.
"Yes, sorry, thank you for taking care of her." Susan robotically responded still somewhat distracted.
Sonny instinctually pulled Lisa a little closer into his side not liking the man in front of him one bit. "Is there anything else you need from us?" He directed the question towards Mark. Although he was hesitant to leave Morgan it was not his place or Lisa's to get involved, and since social services would be involved then he hoped that they would be able to sort it all out.
"I have got everything I need. Thank you." Mark answered knowing that their presence had been incredibly helpful with keeping Morgan calm and comforted as well as extracting information out of her that was helpful to locating her parents as they had not updated their address.
Lisa knelt down in front of Morgan. "Sonny and I have to go now honey." She kept her voice soft hoping that Morgan would not get upset.
Morgan looked back at her parents with a sparing glance before she turned back to Lisa then lunged forward wrapping her small arms around her neck and hugging her. As quickly as Morgan had lunged towards Lisa she pulled away from her after a sharp domineering reprimand from her Dad.
Sonny held his hand out to Lisa which she accepted as she stood up from the ground, and with one last look at the family the pair left the police station both deep in their own thoughts even though it was something they could not be involved in.

Lisa smiled softly as she leant against the doorframe seeing that Sonny was already in her bed all ready for their afternoon nap with nothing more than his boxers on as the blankets were barely covering his thighs. They had both been incredibly quiet on the way home from the police station, both knowing that something was not right with Morgan's parents but knowing that it was not their place to intervene. How the day had started off so good and then kind of veered off into something sad and demeaning was beyond Lisa right now.
Sonny grinned broadly as he sensed Lisa was close and turned his eyes towards her seeing she had stripped off her jeans so that she was left in nothing more than a white transparent thin strapped singlet top and a pair of red lace boy-leg panties as she leant up against the door frame to her bedroom looking every bit like the goddess that she was to him. He knew she was worried, felt his own that he knew matched hers, but he knew like she did that they had done what they could and the proper authorities were involved now so hopefully things would get sorted. "You joining me? I do believe we had a nap on our agenda." He lifted and held his hand out for her beckoning her to come and join him.
Lisa smiled and pushed herself off of the doorframe, crossed the short distance to the bed, and crawled in until she was laid on her side up against Sonny with her head on his shoulder and her hand splayed across his bare chest. Sonny wrapped his arm around her with his hand resting around her waist while his other hand clasped the one against his chest.
"You were amazing today." Sonny broke the silence even though his voice was barely above a whisper in awe of her and her maternal instincts. Lisa huffed softly, the warm breath hitting his skin, as she curled tighter into him as she draped her leg across his. "You were."
"Then why do I feel like I sent that little girl back to her own form of hell?" Lisa whispered feeling her eyes begin to well with tears that she willed away as she did not want them to cascade down.
Sonny's hands tightened around Lisa. "We don't know anything Lisa, and besides that the police officer and social services will sort it out." He had to have faith in the floored system that was social services for Lisa's sake as well as his own although he could understand her apprehension as he had his own.
Lisa had nothing to say to that as she had her own experiences with social services years ago that left little hope and a lasting impression but Morgan did not seem afraid of her parents so there was that slightly settling point that helped to settle the worry that had set deep in her stomach. Either way they had done a good thing, and she was not about to let her worries ruin the rest of their day, not that their day had been ruined, but it had left them worried. "I love you Sonny Quinn." She whispered before she pressed a kiss to his chest right on top of his collarbone before she settled down imagining an alternative version of their life together where a miniature version of Sonny was snuggled up with them as they had an afternoon family nap. She was content to imagine for now knowing that she was not ready, that neither of them were ready, but hopefully they would be one day and that it would become a reality.
