The Unexpected. [Secuel To The Unknown] {Eric FF}

Forty Two.

Morgan had a little smile on her lips when Eric walled to the kitchen, she had Aleks sitting on her thigh as she was taking her morning tea.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked, Eric just nodded and headed to the poured cup of coffee. He looked at Aleks staring at his doll in his hands. "You don't remember what you said last night do you?"

Eric frowned and shook his head.

"I passed out, that's what I remember"
"Well, not exactly, but it's OK. I'll hold onto those words" Eric tried to make memory, but after her reached his end buried deep into Morgan he didn't remember anything else.

"Well what did I say?" He still wanted to know, he might have promised something while letting his sex-drunk mind speak for him.

"Something really lame, you'll be embarrassed of yourself"

Morgan sat in the kitchen island and Eric sat next to her, they had their breakfast together, Aleks was quietly sitting at his baby seat looking at the doll still.

"Are you working OK with him?"

"Besides the people who come and give me reports yap at him for twelve hours, yes I'm OK. He's not that much trouble being with, but it's... Exhausting. Mentally exhausting"

"Why?" She took a sip of her tea and leaned closer to him.

"I don't know, I worry too much. I worry if he's hungry, if he's sitting comfortably, if the straps on this thing aren't hurting him, if he's sleeping well, if he's sleeping too little or too much"

Morgan smiled and leaned her head to rest her cheek on his bicep. They both looked down at their baby, who looked at them back and let out a smile while wiggling the doll on his hand.

"I don't think I ever told you, but I think you're a great father" Morgan said. She looked up at Eric, who gave her a little smile and a kiss on her forehead.

"Normally I wouldn't need validation of how I'm doing things. But about this I do"

"Well, I'm telling you, you're doing things great" she kissed his shoulder and moved to take her cup to the sink.
"Okay, let's see how today goes, I have target practice, depending on how they're on that I'll check if we can cut the training time.

"Cut how?" Eric turned to her, she walked to where Aleks was laying over the kitchen island and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Well, if they only need hand to hand combat training I'm doing just that, I'm not going to waste my time in teaching them things they already know."

Eric nodded, Morgan leaned in and kissed him on the lips

"I love you" she said against his lips. Then she began to walk out the apartment.

When she closed the door Eric looked at Aleks, who was looking at the door Morgan had just gone out from. He stood up from his seat and picked him up in his arms.

"Come on now champ" he picked up the rag puppy from the seat and handed it over to Aleks, he clasped on it with his little hands"I know you like hanging out with me better"

A week passes by and Morgan was getting slightly irritated by the outsider who had taken a liking to her. He often strolled back to talk to her, clean up after the training. Morgan thought it was inoffensive and gave him a little wiggle room for him to talk to her. But after one particular encounter he witnessed there was one subject he wouldn't let off.

"Morgan if some of the outsiders tell their superiors that you're not training them they'll withdraw on out arrangement"

"I was away two hours to take care of something urgent" she fought back
