The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten their bedrooms. 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 guys," I greeted.
They replied " Morning sis."
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I mixed both his coffee and my hot chocolate. This 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 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 his spot at work. My dad walks into the building by himself. Minutes after that he puts the lunches in our kitchen. He went into the locker room to change. The team arrives one by one. Of course, they also head to get changed.
"Good morning team," Luca told them.
" Morning Luca," they replied.
They gave Chris kisses on her cheek.
Within seconds all of them head to the briefing room. The team kept looking at my corner. Assignments are handed out that morning. Conversations are the work schedule. Jessie told them to be safe.
Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in the regular places. As for Rocky is filling in that day. Conversations are going on between them. Luca pulls into their crime scene. Seconds later Captain Cortez is working. Greetings are exchanged all of us. Of course, my brother and I are sharing my tablet. Commander Hicks joins us in there. The guys are using the coms.
I drove us to his doctors office. The ride is very quiet. Moments after that I parked his car in the parking lot. We walked into the building together. Captain America signs in and sat down again. The medical assistant called his name. Both of us followed her back to the exam room. She taken his vitals and told us to wait for the doctor. Minutes after that the doctor walks in greets him.
" This is my kid sister Dreamer ( Tia)," Captain America told him.
" Nice to me Tia," the doctor replied.
As the appointment starts a few seconds later. I sat in chair next to the bed. They have a conversation with each other. Minutes after that he squeezes my hand.
His doctor notices this asks " Are you in pain Jim."
" Yes I am doctor," he replied.
Soon after that the appointment is over. My brother pays for the visit.
I drove into our garage at Headquarters.
" Look at me Dreamer. I don't want Commander Hicks to see us like this," Captain America told me.
" Fine Captain America have it your way," I replied.
We walked into the building. Seconds later we put the bags in our lockers. He changed into SWAT Shirt. Jessie and Commander Hicks met us. Captain America had a snack.
My doctor gave me a doctors note for you. I have a few more weeks on the bench. Your team is looking forward to having you back with them. Both of us didn't want you to put us in punishment for fighting Commander Hicks. I am happy to see you two like this now.
Black Betty is now full of extremely sweaty and tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family like usual rushed me with hugs. Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm. Everyone took out their food. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the trash in the bins.
Kelly is there for her now. She heads into the kitchen where Luca is sitting at a table. I am in Jessie's office to work on my computer. Captain America is on the couch. Usually Captain Cortez doesn't let anyone in her office.
Tutoring lasts for an hour or two. Kelly is packing away her stuff into her bag. We walked into the kitchen together. She came over to me for a hug. I hugged her back. Minutes after that Kelly glanced in our direction.
"Come on Kelly. I am okay," Captain America reassured her.
"I don't want to hurt you," she answered.
Both of us awed from across the room. She is really concerned about him.
The team kept me in the loop. I knew that they would. Luca gave back your mom's tray. Yeah, he did a few days after you finished the goodies.
" I missed you," Kelly told me.
" So did I. My brother needed Street sitting," I replied to her.
Captain America gave me a look that could kill. He enjoyed it way too much. I took my computer to put it in my bag. Kelly came with me. We waited by the boxing ring once I was finished for her mom. A few minutes after that her mom shows up. She greets me.
Meanwhile back in our kitchen with the guys locking the doors. As Luca begins tearing into his younger roommate.
" Do you remember who refused to leave the hospital when you got hurt?" Luca asked.
"Dreamer stayed with me and even when I got home took care of me," he replied.
I knew that she would rather be working with us here.
Once we were settled in the waiting room. She went into the church where Deke found her. I know he told me when they came into my room. T took your injury very hard. I don't like when she calls it Street sitting.
Take a few minutes and wear her shoes.
"What is the last thing she tells us before we leave on her early days?" Luca stated.
" Stay safe and come home to me in one piece, "he answered.
Usually we follow these directions at least until that day. You didn't get home together. She had to wrap you up like a burrito from Hector's.
Captain America opens the doors and walks off to find me. I am talking to my sister. Can I talk to our sister for a minute Chris.
"I am sorry for treating you like a jerk earlier in front of Kelly," he told me.
" It's fine, " I replied.
Peggy wants to see us hug it out. I am really tempted to punch him now.
Everyone grabbed our stuff from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike were the only ones that didn't say anything to each other. There's an extra five minutes of talking. Our headquarters and the parking lot is now a ghost town.
Hondo like always drove us home. We put our stuff by the door. I went to take a quick bath. Meanwhile in our kitchen Hondo is cooking his dinner. He took out the place settings to put them on the counter. Seconds later I set our kitchen.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. Our usual drinks are juice for the kids with my brother and beers for everyone else. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks. We broke up into our boys vs girls groups. Chris and Tan cleared the tables. I wiped every surface with a rag. The guys washed the dishes. 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 my room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and cozy.
"Goodnight Hondo," I told him.
"Night Baby girl ," my dad replied.
I will sleepover by Grandma until Sunday morning before work. Baby girl that is a good idea. She hasn't seen you since she met your kids the other day. I will leave some of my clothes over by her too. Tomorrow she will be here cooking our dinner.
There's a quick bathroom break. I jumped into my bed. Pedro is waiting for me. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I am fast asleep. Meanwhile downstairs with the team still up watching tv. As the laugher is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins me soon in dreamland that night.
