Part 5

0600

Erin woke up to someone calling "mommy mommy please"
She carefully peeled herself out of Jack's arm and slowly made her way to Nicki's room.

"Shh Shh it's okay "Erin whispered to her little sister.
"Er"
"I'm here"
"it hurts really bad"
"I'll get you something and I'll be right back"

Erin came back with some muscle rub, Advil and a glass of water.
"Thanks sorry I woke you up so early" Charlie said
"its okay. You were calling Mommy Mommy please, I thought it was Nicki, id forgotten you were here. I clicked when I walked in and saw you crying in pain. I can't stand to see you crying"
"I can't stand to see you crying either. Can you rub in that into my shoulder? Thanks for plugging my phone in".

Phone in hand, Charlie quickly flicked of the address to Eddie then starting a facetime call.
Cian's face popped up on the screen, Erin smiled off screen how well her brother-in-law looked after all these years.

"Morning baby" Cian said
"Hey"
" you okay it's early morning there"
"0620, I had that dream again woke up calling for mom. Woke up Erin"
"I'm glad you're staying with Erin for now"

"Glad to help brother" Erin said sliding over into view.
"Love you big sis, can't wait to see you and Jack Jack again, I hear Nicki's dating a cop. Are you okay with that?"
"He's a good cop. He's about 3 years older than her" Erin said
"I heard from Posh Nosh that Jamie flipped out in the RMP after they meet him. She made the point that at Nicki's age that she had been with 3 guys" Cian said
"Yeah and before you I had been with 2 of those 3 guys by my 17th birthday. Erin don't tell Dad that!" Charlie said.
"Hey i'd been with 5 guys mom didn't know about before Jack. But how's it going over there?"
"Its been quiet. We just got back from patrolling. Char Stix says hi and he misses you and could you check up on his older brother and younger sister"
"Tell him I'll do it this week and text him later. Baby be safe, OMG I can smell bacon"
"Our bacon or actual bacon?"
"Actual"
"Erin if you two are here who's making breakfast at nearly 0630?"
"My boyfriend, miss you kid"
You too. I'll let you both get some breakfast." Cian hung up.

The girls got up and headed for the kitchen. Onthe table was a pot of coffee, 3 plates with fried mushrooms, tomatoes, hashbrowns and Jack sliding bacon on the plate.
"Ladies Breakfast is served. Enjoy"
He sat down with them and ate.
