During the night they'd switched positions and he was now cuddling her from behind as she faced the bathroom. As he started to wake he couldn't help but think how perfectly she fit in his arms. He didn't want to wake her so carefully slipped free. She stirred slightly but remained asleep. Heading for the bathroom, he went to the toilet and brushed his teeth. The flush must have woken her up because she was looking at him as he exited the bathroom.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

"Not really but the bed did get kinda cold when you got out" She had the blankets tucked right up under her chin as she now laid on her back.

He laughed, "How are you cold right now? You're wrapped up like a burrito!"

She laughed back, "Well maybe you should get back over here and warm me up then"

"I can do that" He crawled on the bed and slipped back under the covers.

"How did you sleep last night?" he asked her, supporting his head with his right hand as he faced her.

"To be honest, I haven't slept that well for a long time" She couldn't believe how well she had actually slept.

"Me either…I usually wake up at least once or twice"

"Nightmares?" She asked.

"Sometimes. Sometimes I just can't sleep." His hand was now resting on her stomach.

"Yeah. Me too. Mostly about my dad" He wasn't expecting her to elaborate but she was starting to open up more and more about her past to him and it just made him feel closer to her.

"What happened? You don't have to tell me if you don't want" He didn't want to push her.

"No it's okay. My dad always kinda had anger issues, but when my mum passed away, it got worse…so much worse. He started drinking way too much, gambling. He hit us when we were just kids and it actually got so bad that my aunt came and took us away from him until I was 18, then the house got transferred into my name. I helped her raise Teddy, then it was just the two of us" Tears were falling from her eyes now as her voice broke.

He gently brushed the tears from her cheeks. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that"

"It's okay. It's made me who I am today and Teddy turned out alright so I can't really complain. What about you? I don't really know anything about your family." She was curious to know more about him if he was willing to open up to her.

He sighed. He didn't like talking about his past but he did feel like he was able to open up to Muncy, even if it was a little bit at a time.

"I got an older sister. We were close growing up, until I got involved in gangs. She didn't want to be a part of any of that life, which I get. My father was a drunk as well, used to hit me with his belt if I didn't do exactly what he asked or spoke back to him."

"What about your mom?" she asked.

"She passed away a few years ago, her health wasn't too good. I still got some cousins and other family down in Mexico but there's no way I want to go back there, not with all the stuff that happened with Chilly lately. I found out he's still part of a gang to this day…he never got out…anyway enough about that" He didn't want to spend the entire day talking about things that would make him feel tense or stressed out. He smiled down at her before leaning down and kissing her softly. She moaned into his mouth, running her hand through his hair.

He pulled back slowly, "You're so beautiful" Kissing her once more, she giggled sweetly against his lips. He wrapped his arms around her and snuggled into her side, holding her close.

They fell asleep again and woke up an hour later from her stomach grumbling.

He laughed, "Okay, let's get up and get some food into you".

"I'm gonna go take a shower, where are your towels?" She asked, sliding out from under the covers.

"Cupboard under the sink. You want some coffee?" He asked.

"Yeah sounds great" She smiled, heading for the bathroom and turning the shower on.

She quickly freshened up and got dressed before making her way into his kitchen. The smell of bacon and eggs filled her nose.

"I hope you like bacon and eggs"

"Say no more. That smells amazing" She grabbed the cup of coffee from him and took a sip. He was busy cutting up avocado and preparing their breakfast as she admired him moving around the kitchen like a natural.

"You're really quite the chef huh?" She stated.

"What can I say? I'm a man of many talents"

"Oh yeah? What else you got up your sleeve?" She asked, smirking.

"You'll just have to wait and find out" He teased back.

He plated up a gourmet bacon and egg breakfast for them and took a seat next to her.

"This looks amazing. Thanks" It was a rare occasion that someone made her breakfast. Teddy wasn't the best cook so she was normally the one to make food in their household.

"No problem. So what do you wanna do today?"

Just as she was about to answer him her phone started ringing and the caller ID was Serge. Five seconds later Velasco's phone started ringing too, Captain Benson visible on his screen. They both looked at each other before Muncy picked up her phone.

"Muncy' She answered. 'Uh huh. Yeah. Ok sure. Be there in 15"

Velasco grabbed his phone and answered as well. Benson explaining that they had an urgent case and they needed him to come in on his day off.

"No worries captain, I'll see you soon" He hung up, frustrated that their day off had been ruined but a huge case had come in and they needed all hands on deck. This was the nature of their job after all.

"Guess we'll have to take a rain check on our day out huh?" She said, disappointment clear in her tone.

"Captains orders' He smiled, 'Come on cowgirl let's go" He collected their empty plates, quickly threw them in the dishwasher and grabbed his keys, wallet and phone.

"Let me grab my stuff and we'll head out" She quickly gathered her things together before they both made their way to the car.
