I turn in the sheets, to become face to face with Rick. He was in a deep sleep, hugging me lightly around the waist. He won't be tired, because his uneasiness didn't keep him awake at night.
Careful not to wake him, I get up from the bed and watch for the device that was filming the baby's room. She was also asleep. I take a change of clothes from the closet, and everything I needed to take a shower.
I had become addicted after having tried it yesterday, after so long of not having one. While I bathed, I thought of my reflection. My hair was black with some gray parts because of so much dirt, broken lips, dark circles and dirty face. Was I really perfect in Rick's eyes? I take the bad thoughts out of my head and went out of the bathroom.
Rick was no longer in the bed. I started to panic a little. Judith and Carl's room were empty, clumsily and quickly, I run down the steps to see everyone having breakfast. Including my children and Rick. I let out a relieved sigh.
"Good morning," I say. Everyone greets me, repeating my words. At the leader's request, we slept in the same home. I take Carl's cheeks, leaving a kiss on each one.
"Good day to you too, mom." He says between laughs. I do the same to Judith.
"I think you forgot someone," And there it was.
"Never," I say with a smile, I pull him in for a kiss, I support my lips on his own. Someone falsely coughs, causing us to part.
"God, get a room." Abraham jokes. "There are children here." He put his hands over Judith's eyes, causing her to giggle. I approach Rosita and Maggie, who make me a space between them, so I can sit.
Rosita pushes me slightly with her shoulder, raising her eyebrows. Causing the laughter of us three. Someone knocks on the door and the leader gets up to open it.
"Good morning," Deanna enters the house, with a smile. "I see that you have all settled well, although they know that each of you have a house."
"No one forbade us," Rick spoke to her, reluctantly.
"You said that they are family, with things that prove it." She answered back. "Well, I'm glad you're having a good time, I'll leave now."
Without more, she left. Rick sat down after closing the door, then Abraham got up from his chair.
"For the survivors!" I lifted my cup, like we were having a toast.
"For the survivors!" We all say in unison.
