Looking for the Light Through the Darkness

Chapter 18: Peaceful Mornings

Point of View: Sang 

Waking up with a gasp, I slowly soak in the information. Greek the male's accent was greek. I run the memory again in my mind making sure to focus on the image of the male in my head and I am about to fall back asleep when I feel someone shifting behind me. I feel myself freeze up as an arm is suddenly wrapped around my waist. But I relax as I am pulled into the comfort of Gabriel's chest. "Good morning Sang..." His voice is groggy and I swear I would have died if it wasn't for the tingling sensation in my stomach where he held me drawing me to another desire. 

"G-G-good morning." I manage a couple of times after stuttering and there is a soft chuckle from in front of me. 

"That my friend was the cutest thing I think I have ever woken up to." Luke smirks and I blush hiding my face with my hands and suddenly I feel something poking my back. 

Blushing even harder, I carefully pull away and whisper, "All bark huh?" Giggling, I slip out of the bed and move to the door as I hear Luke erupt with laughter as Gabriel swear. Moving into the living room, I smile as the soft scent of ocean water wash over me. 

"Good Morning Silas." I whisper as I move into the kitchen and slowly finding the tea kettle and turning on the stove. 

Heavy footsteps make the tiled floor vibrate a little as he steps into the kitchen and I can't help but smile. "Good morning Aggele Mou." He whispers and comes over and wraps me up in a warm comforting hug. I can't help but sigh at the warmth. "Are you cold?" He whispers and I nod a little. 

"Your wish is my command." He whispers and places a soft kiss on my cheek making me blush as he moves out of the kitchen and I focus on moving about the kitchen without knocking everything over. 

"So what are you cookin sugar?" Luke's voice appeared to my right and I assume that the kitchen opens up to a counter space. 

"Would you mind if I cooked?" I asked surprised and stepped toward him placing my hands on the counter to brace myself. "I mean you will have to help me since I don't know your kitchen but I would love to." I can feel myself getting more and more excited. 

"Of course cookie. What do I need to get for you?" I hear the male shifting as I turn to the stove. 

"Well the first question should be what do you have?" I ask and step back allowing Luke access to the kitchen. 

A couple minutes later Luke has listed just about every single thing in his fridge and his pantry when I decide that pancakes and fruit sounds like a wonderful breakfast and one of my favorites. Kicking Luke out of the kitchen I take a breath before methodically moving about the kitchen familiarizing myself with it. 

To be honest it was huge compared to my small little kitchen in my apartment but I was careful to determine where everything in the kitchen was. Halfway through I am thankful that Silas stops in with some socks and a large baggy sweatshirt that they wouldn't mind getting dirty before running around to start breakfast. Once the batter for the pancakes is prepared before I start on chopping up fruit. 

But to my surprise as I am taking the first round of pancakes off the stove the front door crashes open and the scent of citrus and ginger washes over. "Dr. Green?" I call out and turn down the burner as I put the next set of pancakes on the stove. 

"Cutie pie is that you?" Dr. Green calls out and I step out of the kitchen as I hear the heavy sound of footsteps. 

"Doc what's up?" Luke states entering the room and I know the other two have also followed. 

"Dr. Green what's wrong?" It is Silas's voice that worries me because it is heavy with concern. I quickly step forward my hands wringing the edge of the sweatshirt I wear. 

"Just a long day at work." Dr. Green states and I can clearly hear the exhaustion in his voice and know that he had been working all night. 

"I have breakfast going. Dr. Green do you have anything happening for the rest of the day?" I ask quickly trying to do what would work best for the male. 

There is a moment of silence as Dr. Green recalls his schedule for the day. "I have two appointments later on today the latest one isn't until noon." Instantly my brain is racing and I smile. 

"That is very doable." I state easily and smile. "Why don't you take Gabriel or Luke's bed, if it is okay with them and start catching up on sleep. I will wake you up for a little breakfast. Sound okay?" 

But instead of an answer, arms wrap around me tightly and almost lift me off the ground. "Thank you thank you thank you." He whispers kissing my cheek and rushing to the bedroom. Giggling, I smile turning back to the kitchen and look toward the guys.

"Are you guys going to eat some of these pancakes?" I ask and suddenly I feel the air shift as they all rush over and I plate the food . 

Smiling at the happy grumbles from the boys, I wrap my hands around the warm mug of coffee I had made and curl up in the corner of the kitchen as I let the pans soak in the sink. "Sang aren't you hungry?" Gabriel asks as he places his plate in the sink and wraps me up in a hug. 

Resting my head against his chest I shake my head, "No but thank you. As much as I do love chocolate chip pancakes I am still full from the two dinners from last night." I state. There is a couple seconds of silence and I can tell the boys are frowning at me. "Fine..." I give in and put a small pancake on a plate and a cup of fruit when suddenly I am guided to the living room. 

"You sit here and eat." Gabriel says and ruffles my hair a little. "Silas and I are going to clean up and Luke is going to cuddle with you." I laugh and smile holding the food in hand as I curl up on the couch. Giggling, I feel Luke bounce besides me and I lean easily against his chest as I slowly eat some of the fruit while listening to the television Luke has turned on. 

The moment is wonderful and something I wish that could last forever but I know it can't. I have to figure out what was going to happen with my apartment and then talk to Avery about what happened as well. Slowly slipping out of Luke's arms, I move to the kitchen taking my plates with me and move back to the kitchen and prepare a breakfast for Dr. Green. 

Grabbing an apple I quickly wash it and cut it up before washing it and cutting it up. Finding a small tupperware I place the apple pieces in and then scoop a good amount of peanut butter into the container. I then move about preparing more water on the stove when I smell raspberries and smile. "Hey Gabriel would you mind helping me instead of standing there?" I ask and I move about and there is a second of silence before arms wrap around my stomach. 

"How do you always know I am there?" He questions me placing soft kisses on my cheeks making me giggle and blush. 

"That is a secret." I whisper and I turn back to my work. 

"Is this Doc's breakfast?" He questions and I shake my head quickly and I press the top onto the container with part of the apples. 

"Nope I figured since he is running around so much I would make him lunch as well. But I need your help. I need a thermos and a few more containers and a lunch bag." I state and Gabriel shifts about the kitchen instantly as I move to the stove and prepare a pan to make grilled cheese. 

"Hey Gabriel?" I ask as I slowly place the cheese and bread into the pan with slices of apple. 

"Yes Sang?" He answers and I can hear him rustling around across the kitchen from me. 

"What kind of accent does Silas have?" My question is isn't subtle at all but my curiosity is getting the best of me. Lightly touching the bread in the pan I wait a few more seconds when I hear the rustling stop behind me. 

"He has a Greek accent." The words hang in the air and I don't notice it until it is to late but I have touched the edge of the pan with my fingers.
