Charles shifted in his spot as he tried to get comfortable on the bed. He felt warms arms slip under his arms before interlocking with his chest.

"Ahhh, good morning love." Angela said sleepily, her eyes still shut. Charles groaned before turning to face her. He opened his eyes to see Angela opening her blue eyes to meet his sea green eyes.

"Mornin' sleepyhead." Charles replied with a smile, making Angela giggle. "You always were a dork, but you're my handsome dork." Angela said brushing her thumb under his eye. He sighed in relief at the warmth of her touch. A strand of her blonde hair fell in front her face as she continued to smile at him. He grasped her hand and kissed it.

"Hehe, come, my gentleman, let's get ready for today." Angela said getting up. As she stood up, she was quickly dragged back down to the bed, a yelp following.

"Charlie!" She whined as he held her close. "I'm sure they can work without us for an hour or two." Charles yawned. She sighed before snuggling in close to him.

'What's a few hours going to hurt?' She wondered as the familiar pull of sleep brought her back to dreamland. As she slept, she began to dream of a future for herself and Charles. She imagined a small, blonde-haired and green eyed girl sitting between the two as Charles read her a story and the agents sat around the three. She glanced at Charles as he read from a storybook and the girl smiling along. The girl turned to her and stared at Angela.

"Mommy?" The girl asked, causing her to look at her. "What is it sweetie?" She replied. "Thank you, for everything." Angela gasped lightly as the girl crawled over to her and laid in her lap. Angela smiled as she placed a hand on her head. Angela looked up to see Charles and the rest smiling at them.

"You do look adorable together. But, it's time to wake up honey." Charles spoke. Angela's eyes snapped open to see Charles shaking her awake, already geared up.

"Angi, wake up." He whispered. Angela sat up and yawned as she stretched. Charles smiled as she stood up groggily and walked to the bathroom. Hearing the shower running, Charles walked to the mess hall and created some tea for Angela. As he finished, he glanced at the door to see Angela in her Valkyrie suit walking over to him as she yawned.

"Here, some tea to help you wake up." Charles said before she passed by. "Coffee sounds very good to me." Angela said, still half asleep. Charles smirked before grabbing her waist and twirling her towards him, earning a yelp from the doctor.

"Hey! But coffee sounds good, tea is blech!" Angela said making a face. "tsk, tsk, who's the doctor that told me caffeine was bad for the body?" Charles asked raising an eyebrow.

"Someone else, I know I never said that." Angela said crossing her arms. "I remember it was you. Now drink." Charles ordered. Angela sighed before taking the cup from him and sipping it.

"Mmm, is this chamomile?" She asked. "Only for you, my sweet dove." Charles said as the rest of the agents began to trickle in. Charles and Angela grabbed their food and sat next to each other as Aaron and Lena walked over to them.

"So, you two are a thing now?" Angela asked biting into her eggs. "I guess so." Aaron replied before Lena smacked his shoulder.

"We are you dolt. I love you, and nothing is going to change that." Lena said. "But do explain when you first had feelings for Aaron. I would love to hear this." Charles said grinning.

"W-well, after the incident on the highway, I-I kinda had feelings for Aaron." Lena replied as her face became red.

"So, you mean it was love at first sight?" Charles asked. "Not like that!" Lena shouted, causing some agents to stare at her.
