The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. I woke up to get ready. My brother and dad take a couple more seconds to move around. Kitchen bound for me. Minutes after that I made breakfast for us to eat. Coffee is brewing on the counter.

Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I mixed both his coffee and my hot chocolate. This is copied by our teammates. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.

The team grabbed their belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. They head to our missions that morning.

Hondo pulls into his spot at work. He went into the locked room to change. The team arrives one by one. Of course, they also head to get changed.

"Good morning team," Luca told them.

" Morning guys and Chris," they replied.

They gave Chris kisses on her cheek.

Within seconds all of them head to the briefing room. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out that morning. Conversations are the work schedule. Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in the regular places. As for Rocky is filling in that day. Conversations are going on between them. Luca pulls into their crime scene.

Seconds later Captain Cortez is working. Greetings are exchanged between them. Commander Hicks joins her in there. He grabs both the tablet and com. Both of them are in Command together.

Black Betty is now full of extremely sweaty and tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family like usual missed rushing me with hugs.

Lunch approaches at 12:00 pm. Everyone took out their food. The team sat down. Both of us are using the couch. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating they threw away their trash in the bins and we put the dirty dishes in our sink.

I am playing my guitar on the couch. Captain America sitting next to me enjoyed it. Of course, he started all alert. A few minutes it changed to almost sleeping. Go sleep in my room.

"No, I want you to come with me," Captain America told me.

" I have to put this away now anyway," I replied to them.

My brother falls asleep in no time. I am working on some of my school work. Peggy texted to check in. He liked my guitar playing a few minutes ago.

"How's everyone there?" I asked.

" They are good," she answered me.

Within minutes there's movement in my room. Captain America took his bath to change. I wrapped his torso for him. We went into the family room. Both of us relaxed together.

The team changed into their regular clothes in our locker room. Everyone else grabbed their belongings that evening. A good percentage of them exchanged goodbyes to each other. Luca is the only one to stay quiet. They talked for an extra five minutes. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.

Hondo drove himself home that afternoon. As he entered the house he put down his stuff by the door. Minutes after that he is cooking at our stove. The place setting are taken out and put on the counter. We set our kitchen table together.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. Our drinks are juice for the kids and some beers for us. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Tan and I cleared the tables. My sister wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie unpacked the dishwasher. The guys washed the dishes. Every kitchen is clean now.

Family time continues in front of the tvs. We shared our favorite tv show s with the group. I walked over to my room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and cozy now.

" Night Dreamer and Baby girl," they told me.

" Goodnight guys," I replied to him with a kiss each on their cheek.

A quick bathroom break is made by me. I jumped into my bed. Pedro is off to the side of me. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Seconds later I am fast asleep.

Captain America enters on light feet. I know that I will have to tease him about that later. He settles next to Pedro who is in between us. Of course, before falling asleep he kisses my wrists. I ruffled his hair.

Meanwhile with the team in still watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to there own bedroom. Everyone else joins me soon in dreamland that night.
