The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Hondo woke up to get ready for work. Later on, he is making breakfast over at the stove. Coffee like usual is smelling in the kitchen.
" Good morning Baby girl," he told me.
" Morning Hondo," I replied to him.
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I put together our lunches in bags with our names on it. My hot chocolate is mixed and handed to me. This is copied also by the other teammates. Minutes after that our meals are ready to eat.
Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am. 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. Soon after eating, we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.
The team and I grabbed our belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. We head to our missions that morning.
Hondo pulls into our spot at work. We went into the building together. As the pair of us switched bags that morning. I put the lunches in our fridge. My dad is in the locker room changing and putting my bag in the locker.
The team joins him there that morning. Of course, they also did that in their work clothes.
" Good morning Dreamer," Captain America greets.
"Morning Captain America and Peanut Gallery," I replied.
They gave me kisses on the cheeks.
Seconds later all of us head to the briefing room. I am standing in my corner. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out for that day. My family says goodbyes.
Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in their regular places. Conversations are going on in that truck. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into the crime scene.
Meanwhile back over at headquarters Captain Cortez and I are working. Greetings are exchanged as she hands me my comm and tablet. Both of us are talking while we work that morning. Eventually it changed to mission stuff. Of course, Commander Hicks also greets us.
Just in case she decides to come in tomorrow morning. They put aside a few assignments for me to do in her office. I will tell Hondo about this plan. You know he cares so deeply for our women. Street will want to be reassigned to stay here with her.
Black Betty is now full of sweaty and extremely tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers . A short debrief is made. My family rushed me with hugs.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm. Everyone took out our food to eat. The team sat down around the table with each other. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away all the trash in the bins.
Roger is at headquarters now. He walks in our kitchen. The meeting begins that afternoon. George will be here with her on Mondays and Wednesdays when she has school. As Juan is here on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Meanwhile in our locker room with the girl and I. Fowler started an exam. I am in pain. She pauses it for a few minutes. Peggy gets my braces.
" Thank you sis," I told her.
" You're welcome my Dreamer, she replied.
We went into the kitchen. Mikey came to me first with the usual forehead. He looks around the room.
Introductions and ranks are exchanged between the three of them.
" Thank you Nora for helping our sister," he told her.
"You're welcome Mike," the Medic replied.
She has everyone else on the weekends.
Everyone went into the locker room to get our stuff. I took off my braces to put them in the locker. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike were the only ones that didn't say anything. There's an extra five minutes of talking. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.
Luca drove us home. We put down our bags by the door. I took a quick bath. They ordered two different pizzas. Meat Lovers for them and Hawaiian for me. Within minutes I set the table.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. Our usual drinks are beers for the grown-ups 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 boys vs girls groups. Chris and Tan cleared the kitchen 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 clean now.
Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv shows with the group. I walked over to our room 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.
"Good night Bros," I told them.
" Night sis," they replied.
Duke is right behind me. There's a short bathroom break. I jumped into our bed. Simba is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I am almost fast asleep.
My brothers are in the family room. I know that you told Nate. She would've wanted you too. As Nate plans to come over this weekend. You know how she is close with him.
Captain America changes quickly to wrap his arms around me. I cuddled up to him. Eventually the body position changed. I am resting on his chest. My brother welcomes my weight.
The team is still up watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team heads to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins us soon in dreamland that night.
