Eric walked to the kitchen, being greeted with Morgan making noises to Aleks, who was sitting in a baby seat. She lifted her eyes to him and smiled, taking a cup of coffee to him.

"Do you like it?" She said lifting a rag doll in the form of a puppy.

"Couldn't it had been a tiger? Or something more manly?" Morgan rolled her eyes at him and gave it back to Aleks, who clung onto it with his little hands.

"It was made by an old iniciate of mine, I gave her one of my shirts and a perfume of mine and she made it from it. She said it'll help him with separation anxiety"

"Don't you want a shirt of his too?" Morgan smirked and hit him playfully with the back of her hand.

"I'll take you jacket not to miss you though" she said taking a short step to him and tiptoeing to kiss him on the lips, Eric held her closer by the waist and lifted her off the ground.

"In that case I'll take you, on the couch" Morgan chuckled and let herself be dragged to the couch.

After she fell asleep on him a few days ago, Eric gave up and asked her to train the outsiders, a notice was sent to the department and they received confirmation. They were sending 30 men as the first group. After that, Morgan took care of getting everything settled to receive them, very much alike when they received the transfers.

They had agreed on some ground rules to get the outsiders and the dauntless members to behave and to not bother eachother.

The spare time Morgan had she spent it with Aleks, laying on the floor with him and watching him play with his gym, or simple making him laugh, holding him, looking down at him while he slept, smiling to herself.

All of that broke Eric's heart a little, he knew how much Morgan loved to be with his baby and how little time they would spent together now, but unfortunately this is where they stood.

Morgan and Eric walked down the hallway, Eric holding Aleks by the handle of his seat and Morgan by the waist. He noticed the tinniest trace of a limp in her walk, to which Eric smiled proudly.

"Nightmare day one" Morgan said stopping in front of Eric's office. He smiled a little and kissed her on the forehead.

"You'll be fine, we will all be, and you'll be home soon enough. I'll even save a diaper for you to change"

"Ha ha" she mocked "I'll see you at lunch"

Morgan began walking down the hallway towards the net room, where they would begin the tour of the outsiders. She was quickly joined by Liam.

"Is Eric around?" She shook her head no as she paced around the room "well in that case what up mamacita?"
"Want to get beaten again?" She said with a little smile

"No. That's why I asked if Eric was here"

"Who said Eric was the one who's going to punch you?"

"Ho ho, I like them feisty" he gave her a nudge and Morgan rolled her eyes, still with a smile "and your three out of three?" He referred to Aleks

"With the two out of three. Eric's probably teching him how to write reports and scold operatives"

"Wouldn't blame him for it, I have 100 points he's going to be the successor"

"You people have bets on events that will take 16 years to be proven right or wrong?"

"The nearest one is if he'll say mom or dad first, I'm on the 'dad' team"

"Wow, rude. I'm the one who changes him, feeds him, spends time with him, gives him baths, wakes up in the middle of the night to comfort him, and he'll say 'dad' first?"
