"Why did you sleep here last night?" Eric opened one eye to find Morgan looking down at him, he looked at Aleks bitting on his fist, then closed his eye again.

"There was a baby on my side of the bed"

"You could've taken him to his own room"

"You decided to take the baby instead of waiting for me. I respected your decision"

"Can you hold him while I take a shower?" By the tone of her voice Eric could make out the little eye roll she gave him. He sat on the couch and took Aleks, while Morgan walked to the bedroom he placed him in the corner of the couch and covered him with the blanket he was using. He dashed to get himself a cup of coffee and returned to see Aleks look around quietly, his hands fisting the blanket in his hand and moving it around.

He let out a little smile and took a sip of his coffee, placing his hand on top of his legs to hold him still.

Aleks held his hand with both of their little ones, taking it to his mouth and biting into one of his fingers, drooling his hand in the process.

Eric continued with his coffee while Aleks continued biting his fingers. He read that maybe he was starting to teeth, so his gums must be itching.

"What are you doing?" Morgan appeared from behind the couch, talking with a big smile to her baby boy. "Bet daddy's hands are delicious and dirty"

"I washed it" he said taking a final sip to his coffee. "I'll take a shower and we can head out"

Morgan nodded and fed Aleks while Eric took his own shower. She prepared breakfast for herself while holding Aleks to her chest. Then she changed him and got him ready to leave.

"He ate?" Eric asked from behind her, she was finishing with the last button

"He's fed and changed, he'll be a good boy for a few more hours"

"Good" he moved to pick him up and took a blanket "I'll handle him, you go the infirmary and ask for a physic evaluation."

"Why?" She said frowning, Eric walked to the door and began heading out the apartment

"Because..." He vaguely replied and exited the apartment.

He hoped Morgan wouldn't follow, and luckily she didn't, now he only had to keep Aleks entertained for a while.

Morgan was hating the avoidance Eric was giving her right now. He was usually very bold about what he wanted, but she knew he didn't wanted to push her because the faction and the city weren't her top priority. But she also knew she was an adult, and that meant doing things we don't want to do.

She headed downstairs and entered the infirmary.

"I need a stupid physic evaluation" she said to the first nurse she found, she just dropped what she was doing and led her to the end of the hall to a room with a treadmill and a few machines.

"I'll have someone check on you in a bit"

Morgan nodded and moved to the center of the room while she thought.

How were they going to make this work? She could feed Aleks in the morning, leave him hopefully asleep with Eric, go out to train the group, check on him while lunch, probably feed him again... She was hating the situation already. She was going to go to everyday with her baby to be with her baby only in the nights.

"You're not here by choice I take it" she turned to Anne and shrugged her shoulders.

"When the head leader of dauntless speaks..." Anne began to hook up the machine to her chest and her scalp
