Nikki awoke amidst a tangle of arms and legs. Eric had her trapped underneath his very heavy leg. She kissed him awake and she chuckled softly as he responded to her. Close to an hour later Nikki emerged and went down to the showers. She went into the ladies locker room and double checked everything before she took her shower.  She washed her hair and heard the door to the locker room open. She picked up her gun and set it down as Eric came in shirtless and joined her. Nikki grinned at him and told him how incredibly bad he was going to be for her image. He chuckled and declared that he didn't care about that. 

When they emerged another hour or so later they were holding hands and Nikki felt more peaceful than she had in a long time, even before the day everything fell apart. This relationship was not stressful or difficult. There was something just very fulfilling and satisfying in the best way. Nolan and Eric were so different. Nolan and Nikki had grown up together. The love that was there was exciting in the early years but the last few it was more of an obligation and a memory of what it used to be. With her and Eric it was animalistic and it was a need one that would not go away. She spent half of her morning staying just outside of his reach and slapping his hands away. She couldn't remember ever blushing this much for any reason. Nikki was all smiles though and people noticed.

She went in search of Tina. She figured Tina and the guys would be going there at first light and she had questions but she figured she would leave the construction of it all to the others. That was a little out of her skill set.

When Matt crawled into bed with Kat he felt her tense up and start to fight him as his arm went around her. He whispered into her ear [color=00aeef]"Kat darlin it's me. It's okay babe. I won't let anyone hurt you or are little one."[/color] He felt the baby grab his finger tighter and Kat settled down and snuggled into him. Matt was so tired all he could do was mumble something unintelligible as he fell asleep. He knew the wall would hold and that was all he could do at the moment. At least his family was safe for now. He felt Kat getting up several hours later. He also felt the baby poking him. He scrunched his face a little as she poked him in the eye and then she stuck her little finger up his nose. He jerked back as she tried to stab his brain. He turned his head and turned onto his stomach never waking up fully.
