As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his hospital room. I woke up to freshen up myself for the day ahead of me. A nurse soon comes into the room to check his vitals. She looks at me and says I will be back with his breakfast.
Meanwhile with Captain America now waking up.
" Good morning Dreamer," He greeted.
"Morning Captain America," I replied.
Daddy is on his way over here before work. Second later he leaves kisses on my wrists.
Hondo walks in with my computer in his hand. Minutes after that he turns to put it the closet in my bag. The nurse came in again with breakfast. Both of us shared that plate of food. Of course, I poured myself water. We took the liberty in telling Buck. I invited him to your party later. You guys already had time to plan that for me. Actually it was more your room mate then us. Charlie and Johnny will be in attendance as well.
Daddy exchanged his goodbyes to us. He gave me a kiss. The nurse came in this time to collect the dishes. Minutes after that she hand me the paperwork to begin filling out. She focus on the rest of her time on Captain America.
Later on, he pulls up to headquarters. He went straight to the locker room to change. The team appears one by one. Greetings are exchanged between them.
" How are the kids doing?" Deke asks.
" They were enjoying breakfast when I left ," he replied.
All of them walked to the briefing room. Captain Cortez and Commander Hicks were standing around the table. Everyone takes turns talking. Assignments are handed out for that day. They discussed it for a few minutes.
Soon after that Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in the regular places. Conversations are going on throughout the truck. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into their crime scene. Back over at headquarters with Captain Cortez. She wishes that I am at her side. Of Course, at that morning Commander Hicks joins her.
" How's the patient and his keeper?" He asked.
" Both of them are doing good," She answered.
Meanwhile back over at the hospital Captain America finishes the blank spaces on the paperwork. I know that you're look forward to being in your bed. The nurse came in once again with the meds and home care stuff.
"You have any questions Tia," she asks.
" No ," I replied to her.
He's going to under lock and key when we leave. Soon after that Nate walks through our door. Guys you ready to head home. My brother is smiling from ear to eat. I grabbed both of our stuff. Nate holds him upright.
As for the team returns from the call. Sweat filled our headquarters. Of course, they went straight to the locker room to change. All of them felt good being in a different pair of clothes without ten pounds of gears on. Now is a relaxing time for us.
Lunch is quickly approaching at 12:00 pm. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The teams sat down in our assigned seats at the tables. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put the dirty dishes in our sinks or threw away our trash in the bins.
The pair of us changed out of our hospital clothes. Before you relax please show me where your laundry room is located. My brother got up slowly guiding me straight over to it. I am going to wash a load. Within seconds I get our dirty clothes. He went to lay down in his room with Duke behind him.
I threw all our clothes in the washing machine and press the on button. Streeter got you domesticated. No, it is more the Big Apple. I lived there for a number of years before moving here. You'll eventually meet my twin who was then my husband.
Captain America probably told you that I am a mom. This would make both of you the Uncle to our kids. I took out the picture of our kids to show him.
" Where are they now T," he asked.
" They live in New York with their grandparents and Uncle," I replied.
The machine beeps to let know that it needs changing. I got up to do just that with Nate behind me. Minutes after that all the clothes are clean. We sat on the couch folding the basket together. I put the basket on the machine.
Everyone grabs their belongings from the locker room. They exchanged goodbyes to each other. I will see you again in an hour or so. As for the team talked for an extra five minutes. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.
Hondo drove home this time alone. Minutes after that he parks in our driveway. He puts down the bag by his door. The remainder of our team shows up at our apartment with food. You know Annie made a cake. Meanwhile with Luca pulling up in their driveway. He opens their door to go inside then hits it a few minutes after. Luca puts his bag by the door. I greeted him with a hug.
" Nate thanks for bringing them home," Luca told him.
" It's not a problem. Please let me know if you need anymore help," he replied.
Okay, I will go get ready for the party. Captain America woke up from his nap. I just heard Luca. Yeah he just got home from work. Let's follow his cue now. We will come out again in a few minutes.
The team, Johnny, and mom pull up at the same time. Our guys and Chris walked with all the food. As for my mom rang the door bell. Nate answers the door. Everyone greeted each other while exchanging their rank with him.
Luca came out of his room to put the food on the island and in the kitchen. I went to lock the front door. Guest of honor arrives. Peggy went over to kiss him. Mom is right behind her just in case he need extra support.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone else dished out their food to eat. I shared my place with him. The team sat all over the living space. Conversations are going on through out our group. We ate together like one big happy family.
Minutes after that Buck took me outside to the backyard. We sat down on the swing. A long conversation started between us. You got all your intel from my dad and brother. Of course, I did T. Since I got here this afternoon I have been watching Street with you. Both of them also told me that you used to be the team leader. Yes I was until your dad got promoted. Actually that was supposed to go to Deacon. Minutes after that he realized that I am shivering.
He took off his jacket to put it over my shoulders.
" Thank You Buck," I told him.
" Your welcome T," he replied.
Let's get you back into the house. I took off the jacket to rest it on the chair.
" Excuse me everyone goodnight," I told the party.
"Night T," everyone else replied.
Seconds later I walked over to our room. I got ready for bed. Simba was waiting for me on the bed. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I cried myself to sleep that night.
Buck sat with them on the couch. I am tired my brother admitted quietly to Peggy.
"Goodnight Chris," he told her.
"Night Jim," she answered kissing him.
Seconds later he follows me with Duke behind him. As the bed shifts with the added weight. Captain America tries to comfort me the best that he could can in this given condition.
" Go sleep with Luca he will do a wonderful job," he told me.
" I will do that tomorrow but tonight I am staying here," I replied.
The team and Graceland representatives are still around helping Luca clean up. Within minutes Buck pulls aside my mom.
"Johnny told us about you. You are pretty close to Jim," My mom told him.
" I am his mentor and arrested his mom," Buck replied.
My family and Buck partook in the routine we did earlier. Before everyone left Luca took them by our room. This reminds us of how she used to be with Mikey at Graceland. In the morning I will be here before you leave for work with food.
" Has she slept with you yet?" they asked curiously.
"No T hasn't but I know that it's coming soon," Luca answered.
The team and my representatives from Graceland went home or back to our house to pick up their cars and truck.
"T made this plate for you," Deke told his wife.
"Please tell her I send my thanks tomorrow at work," he replied.
Chris, Tan, and Buck head to their places. Soon after they settled in at their houses that evening. Another quick change into their jammies this time. They went to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins us soon in dreamland that night.
