(S5, E3) UNCLE'S GREETING

🇵🇱 Elena's POV (The next day in Poland, the hotel room, Cracow)

I opened my eyes and took a deep breath with my smile. Well, it's the first time in a long time that I woke up when it's already bright. All I can feel is Eric's arms around me and... I feel fine. After all these hard days I finally feel fine.

Maybe... Maybe I finally slowly moving on? Maybe I just needed to argue with Eric a few times to realize how important he is to me? Maybe I needed these hard days to miss him a bit? I don't feel like a reborn or something but I feel... Fine and safe in his arms. And that's a right feeling. I feel much better than a few days ago and... I'm happy about it. I guess we really needed some time alone.

I turned over to face him and I felt he slightly moved too.

Elena: Good morning - I smirked and gave him a quick kiss.

Eric: Good morning, Elena - He smiled and opened his eyes - How do you feel? - He tucked my hair behind my ear.

See? I was right. Eric is the right person it's just... We both needed some more time to realise that.

Elena: Better than yesterday, definitely. How about you?

Eric: Better than last week - He smirked and took a deep breath - I missed that.

Elena: Me too, Eric.

I moved to him a bit, he hugged me again and kissed my head. And that's the right feeling. No anger, no arguments, no tension. Just us. That's Eric I loved. That Eric who is loving, caring, gentle, emotional and simply... Himself. That's my Eric.

Eric: What would you like to eat for breakfast today? - He said after a longer moment.

Elena: I don't know - I raised my head a bit and looked at him again - It depends what is in our fridge.

Eric: I will think about something - He stroked my arm and gave me a quick kiss too - Well, I see Anthony took care of Lucy completely - He nodded at her empty bed.

Elena: Yeah, I think so too - I slightly laughed and sat down on the bed - But I know her and her humours, I'm sure she gave him a hard time.

Eric: He has to get used to it - He laughed too and sat down next to me - Can't wait to see him taking care of your sibling.

Elena: Oh, man - I raised my eyebrows and smirked - He won't find even a short time to rest, believe me.

Eric: I'm sorry there's going to be such a big age difference between you - He sighed and looked at me sadly - That's not fair.

Elena: But I don't care - I shrugged and smiled - I will help my parents and I will be the best sister ever. I know I could be a mother, not a sister but...

Eric: Talking about it... - He leaned his back against the pillows again - Would you like to have a child except Lucy? I mean, did you change your mind about it?

Elena: Why do you ask? - I slightly narrowed my eyes.

Eric: Curiosity, really - He smiled - Don't get me wrong, I've been just wondering recently if you changed your mind about it since you're an adoptive mother of Lucy.

Elena: Well... - I started scratching my head - I didn't think about it if I'm being honest - I shrugged.

Eric: That's fine, don't worry - He smiled again - Like I said, just a thought.

Elena: What about you?

Eric: Huh? - He slightly narrowed his eyes at me.

Elena: I think I haven't asked you that question so far... - I shrugged again - Would you like to have a kid someday?
