As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. I woke up to get ready. My brother and dad take a couple more seconds to move around. Kitchen bound for me. Minutes after that I made breakfast for us to eat. Coffee is brewing on the counter.
"Good morning Grandbaby," she greeted.
" Morning Grandma," I replied to her.
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I put together the lunch with my name on it. As my hot chocolate is waiting for me on the is copied by our teammates. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves. Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.
The team grabbed their belongings that morning. Later on, They locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. They head to our missions that morning. Hondo drove himself to work. Minutes after that he puts away his food in the kitchen and then changes in the locker room. The team arrives one by one. Of course, they head to get on, they meet up with us.
"Good morning Dreamer," Captain America greeted.
" Morning Peanut ga llery," I replied to them.
They gave me kisses on my cheek. Within seconds all of them head to the briefing room. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out that morning. My family says goodbye on the way out the door. I watched them leave that morning.
Meanwhile back over at headquarters that morning. Captain Cortez and I are the situation room. She hands me both my tablet and com. Hicks greets us when he joins us. Black Betty full cops that are sweaty. It is parked outside. The team went to take their showers. A quick debrief is made in the locker room. My family rushes me with hugs.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out their food from the fridge. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away the trash in the bins. All of us are just hanging around the kitchen. Captain America walks up attempting to take my wrists. Fear is written all over my features. I kept signing "No" to him over and over again. As the team notices from their separate conversations around the room. Peggy pulls him aside "I told you so."
The dad's in the room looked on from their corner. Luca and Tan check on me. I stormed into the garage. As Ricky points me in the direction of his office. His mechanics just looked at me then went back to work.
Luca is hot on my heels.
"Where's my sister?" He asked.
" She is in the office," the garage manager answered.
I have my knees pulled up to my chest. Luca is sitting in front of me. Seconds later I buried my face in his shirt. The only thing he heard was a very low Duke. Let's get your stuff and I'll take you to see him.
" Thank you Ricky," I told him.
"It was my pleasure Tia. Next time Luca will turn you into a little grease ball," the garage manager replied.
Erica and I are hanging out together by the ring. My stuff is brought out to me. It's a little early for you to go home. You'll call Buck on the way home.
Phone call
Buck: Hey Luca
Luca: Hey Buck
Buck: How are you doing?
Luca: I am good but Our fairy dust isn't.
Buck: ok
Luca: All she wants is her Duke
Buck: meet you at your place in 10
Luca: bye
Buck: see you guys soon
End of call
Buck is coming to watch you at the house. I have to finish something at work. The three of us pulled into the driveway. I opened the door for us to go inside.
" Thanks again," my brother told him.
" No problem Luca, " he replied.
I took a quick bath to change. Don't mention your adopted child.
"What did he do this time?" He asked.
" He tried to take her wrists for her kisses," Luca replied.
Minutes after that I joined them. Duke wagging his tail behind me. I will see you again when the shift is over. A hug and pet later Luca is gone. As Duke is cuddled up on the ground.
I decided to wash my clothes from the last couple of days at Grandma's. Duke is by my side. The machines are switched in a few minutes. I walked out of their laundry room with the basket. Buck took it from me. Buck moves the coffee table for us to have more room. The pair of us folded it together. He folds my LBPD shirt. Of course, I can see the question that he is thinking. Seconds later I packed my bag.
Everyone grabs our stuff from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike are the only ones that don't say anything. An extra five minutes happen. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town. Hondo, like usual, drove himself home. My dad puts stuff his down by the door. I walked out from my room. Meanwhile in our kitchen is with daddy at the stove cooking. He took out the place settings. Seconds later I set our kitchen table.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team and families sat in our assigned seats at the tables. Our drinks are the usual beers for us and juice for the kids. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks. We broke up into our usual boy's vs girls' groups. Our sisters and girls cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie unpacked the dishwasher. The guys washed the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. Every kitchen is now clean.
Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv shows with the group. I walked over to his room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.
" Goodnight, Grandma," I told her.
"Night Grandma," she answers with a kiss.
There's a short bathroom break. I jumped to my bed. Pedro is already in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Minutes after that I am fast asleep. Meanwhile the team is still up watching tv. As laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team heads to their rooms. Everyone else joins us soon in dreamland that night.
