Dysfunctional

Chapter 48: Expelled

"Dear... baby?" I smiled.

Marcus was on the floor dropping tears and writing down furiously. "Right now your father is figuring out baby names we could give you." I spoke to the camera "I don't know why he's crying though."

"Because we are having a fucking baby." Marcus smiled. "We should name her Miracle...."

"No. She's a product of you and I. People will think she's an angel." I glared. "Dear baby. You are already my favorite thing in the whole world. A child of two strong people. Even if you come out looking more like your father and not me."

"Watch it, Sader, last time I checked you're super into me." He snarled. "Sofia?"

"Ooo that doesn't sound that bad. But we don't know the gender. So make it a unisex name."

"Alex?"

"Also not that bad."

"Logan."

"Ehh..." I shrugged

"Need a definite answer babe. How about Morgan?"

I turned to look at him. He looked ready to scratch it off. "Yes. Her name will be Morgan." I smiled.

"Finally." He grumbled.

"Dear Morgan, you are going to grow up and become a well rounded young lady. Powers or no powers, you are talented. Treat your life as an experience. I know I'll regret this later. But it's your life. Play it safe, don't be stupid, think about others, and listen to us. Your father and I have been through some shit, multiple times, we are giving our best advice. Trust us, babe."

"We love you, Morgan. No matter what happens to us." Marcus inputted.

"I love you, Morgan. My beautiful baby. My first baby. My lovely child. I can't want to see you face to face. I can't wait to hold you in my arms."

"You shouldn't curse when making a video for the baby." Marcus sneered.

"Oh please. A curse will be their first word." I laughed turning off the video.

Morgan's POV

"That's mom?" I couldn't stop staring at the beauty that was smiling right back at me. I remember how my father used to describe her. As literally something out of a life guard movie. I now understand.

"Her name is Brooklyn Sader-Marshal. She's been an agent since she was eighteen.."

"What.... what happened to her?"

Aunt Riley waved the final tape and the handwriting was sloppier than normal. This will be the last I'll hear of my dad. My face felt hot and I tried not to cry.

"I haven't even played it yet." My aunt mumbled

"I just... I miss him. This will be his last video then he's gone forever." I put my face in my hands.

"Morgan." My aunt wrapped her arms around me and held me tightly. She pulled my head off her shoulder and looked at her. "Baby. I know it hurts but be strong for him. For them."

I nodded and wiped my eyes and nose. She kissed my forehead and helped wipe my eyes. "Let's finish this and we will go get some ice cream."

"Can we get cream puffs instead." I sniffled.

Aunt Riley gave a wide smile. "Yes of course."

We arrived at the helicarrier in shock. It was grounded. We went towards it and I noticed people working on repairing it. I spotted Fury. He turned around fuming at us and gave me a side eye. "Where have you two been."
