Working Out

--- Hangman's Point of View ---

The next day it took me a moment to remember that I didn't have to go into the base, my movements were so automatic that it was like I had set myself on some kind of autopilot.

I sat down at my kitchen table and simply put my head in my hands letting out a sigh and moaning a little bit.

After a moment of simply just trying to deal with pain in my head I got up and got some water and drank down two glasses, when I was emotionally upset, I tended to not drink anything, so I had a feeling the pounding headache that I woke up with was caused by dehydration.

I filled up the glass again and drank this one slowly.

It hit me again, like a punch to the gut.

I was going to be a father, a real father.

A few years ago that would have scared the crap out of me, however now it didn't scare me at all, I wanted it, I wanted a baby – I wanted a baby with her – this was a dream come true if I was honest.

I took a deep breath; I had to get a hold of myself and get my temper under control.

The feelings that I was having was almost primal in a way, I wanted her and my daughter, but I had to go about this the right way.

I sat there for a moment, making a decision, because I was going to be a father I had to stop with the self-destructive trend that I had been on since she had left me.

No more smoking or drinking, I realized that I was going to have to start working out again, and eating clean.

I got up and decided to go to a shower, I was going to go to the base today and work out, I knew that my mind would be more clear if I did that.

I woke up feeling Rooster's weight on me, I smiled and opened my eyes, all I could see was his brown hair that smelled faintly of cinnamon, suddenly felt his lips on the side of my throat.

"Rooster." I moaned, normally being that wonton with the sounds I made but having him this close was doing it for me.

"I love when you say my name like that." He kept on kissing my neck, clearly leaving a nice love bite there, I felt like he was marking me.

He was acting like he was okay with Hangman knowing that I was pregnant and that he was here, but he couldn't hide the tension that was below the surface, he was tense.

"ROO." The sound of Aurora voice coming down the hall started you both, but you saw the smile that was on his face, that is what she called him.

"I'll go see what's up."

There was an adorable smugness to his voice, he knew that she loved him, I couldn't help but smile as he left the room to go to our daughter, I laid back down still smiling, she always wanted her dad in the morning.

I put my hand on my little bump, I was happy but I was wondering what Hangman was doing at the moment.
