Life's Struggles [1x1]

Morgan

Smiling in her light sleep as Carter picked her up and carried her to there bed. Pulling the covers tighter and rolling into Carter’s side with a small smile forming on her face but keeping her eyes shut. Soon falling into a deeper sleep and dreaming about ways Carter could propose to her. Ryker Giving a little snort and hopping off the bed getting into the same one as Pearl and laying down next to her. Snuggling his head and resting it on Pearl’s back before closing his brown eyes and drifting off to sleep next to Pearl.

Addy

“You can cash them in whenever you’d like but, be warned you start all the way at zero again and I’m very hard to gain points back.” Laughing and then listening to what Simon said about his articles he was working on. Hazel-green eyes sparkling with curiosity at the sound of a secret wedding. “Ohhhh my gosh is Carter finally going to propose to Morgan!” Almost screaming her sentence with delight before blinking herbhezel-green eyes apologetically around the room at the people who turned at them and giving a look of disapproval at them. As the waiter came and asking what they wanted telling him her order and turning her attention back to Simon. “Why would I do something like that?” Placing a hand on her chest like she was hurt and then laughing. “I’m not hinting at anything but, you know my finger is kinda bare and cold.” Holding up her left hand and turning it before smiling at his question. “No I love your personality and your sarcasm and the way you handle the spiders and my fears.” Nodding her head in conformation for what she said and then leaning her hand across the table to place on top of his. “But, what can I say I’m a sucker for those brown eyes honey.” Shrugging her shoulders and grinning at him.

Simon

Simon grinned, "I'll be sure to use them wisely." He laughed at the playfulness. His face turned to one of surprise at Addy's outburst, looking around at all the eyes that had turned to them. "No, well, I don't really know," he stuttered out, "Carter hasn't said anything to me yet at least." He mouthed an apology to the other people in the restaurant before looking back over at Addy. "I can't tell you any details, it's a secret surprise." He whispered the last words only for Addy to hear. A smile came back on his face as he shook his head before grabbing her hand that she held out. The smile widened even more at her sweet words about him. "I love you," Simon spoke then leaned in, placing a kiss on Addy's lips. Just as he leaned back in the booth seat, the waiter came over and placed their food on the tables. "Everything look good," the waiter asked, eyeing the two of them hopefully. Simon simply nodded and picked up his fork and digging in to the rice and beans. 

Addy

Blinking her eyes back to Simon and leaning into the kiss as the waiter brought the food out. “Thank you.” Turning to her food and picking up a fork to cut into the stuffed peppers on her plate filled with rice, cheese, and, beef. “Well I think you should push Carter into the right direction with it.” Taking a bite of her food and nodding in delight at the tasty food in front of her. “Well once you can tell me who’s getting married I’d love to know.” Blinking her hazel-green eyes at Simon’s and swallowing after taking another bite of the delicious food. “Im just saying I love weddings and love helping plan them....so if you know anyone planning to get married send them my way.” Winking and continuing to eat her food and drink her drink slowly. Addy taking another bite of her food and another sip of her drink in front of her. Taking her fork and poking it into Simon’s refried beans and eating it off her fork giving a small grin and Shrugging her shoulders back. “Mine didn’t come with any...so” Giggling at her comment and then sitting back in the booth she was in. “Thank you dear for taking me here it’s very lovely and any date night with you is the best.” Smiling at Simon and holding out her hand on the table.

Simon

Simon rolled his eyes playfully while taking another bite of his food. "And how do you suppose I do that?" He took a sip of his drink and another bite of food before looking up at Addy, waiting for her answer. A smile played on his lips, "Okay, but it might be a little while before I can give you that information." He nodded his head as he continued eating at his food, enjoying the taste of his enchilada. Simon lifted his head when Addy's fork stabbed at his refried beans, eyeing her playfully before shaking his head at her. "How did I know you were going to steal some of my food?" He laughed, continuing to eat his food but not bothering to stop Addy from getting anymore of his food. He finished off the rest of his food and took the last sip of his drink. Leaning back in the booth seat, he watched Addy finish her food as well. "Anything for you," he spoke cheesely. A smile formed on his face. "You ready to head home?"

Addy

“Just point him in the right direction....the saying you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” Giggling at her own joke and finishing off the rest of her food. Giving a small smile to Simon about the wedding news he would reveal later. “Just Saying I like planning them and tend to overthink them so once you know and can tell your girlfriend the top secret news.” Laughing and finishing her drink, giving a small nod and standing up from the booth. Walking to the counter and paying for the dinner before Simon could protest. Hazel-green eyes blinking fondly at Simon and handing the truck keys back to him. “Since I paid you can be the chauffeur for me tonight.” Hand laced with Simon and walking back to the truck a smile formed on her face. Addy entering in the passanger side and waiting till he started it. Resting the car on the way back to there house. Exiting the truck and walking to the porch and entering inside greeted by Gemni wagging her tail quickly back and fourth and barking. “Ssshhh Gem....” whispering and walking to the edge of Carter and Morgan’s room which was closed. Turning the knob and peeking through with a small smile planting on her face at the sight of Morgan cuddled into Carter’s side and both of them asleep. Pulling out her phone and snapping a quick cute picture of the two of them before exiting the room quietly. “C’mon babies.” Indicating it to Mickey, Minnie, Buffy and Gemni to follow her to bed. Entering into the room and walking to the closet going through her sleepwear first and then settling on one of Simon’s shirt’s and leggings to wear. Addy doing a quick look in the mirror of her wearing Simon’s shirt and then holding up her hair debating on keeping it down or in a bun to sleep. Frowning and standing in front of the mirror still and biting her lip gently still stuck on the debate in her mind. Gemni following into the room and hopping onto the bed at the end closing her brown eyes again and relaxing.

Simon

Simon laughed as he shook his head, compliant to follow Addy's advice, knowing that she wouldn't just easily let the topic go. He slid out of the booth, leaving a small tip on the table for the waiter and turned to pay at the counter only to see Addy already there and paying for the food. Simon opened his mouth to protest but soon saw no point in it and just walked over to her with a smile. Wrapping his hand in Addy's he walked along side her to the truck, catching the keys with a smile. "I suppose that is fair," he replied with a laugh. He released his grip with her hand and walked to the driver side, hopping in and buckling his seat belt before shoving the key into the ignition. Backing out of the parking spot, he drove down the road, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel to the song playing on the radio. When he pulled into the driveway he shut off the truck and hopped out, walking up behind Addy into the front door and throwing the keys into the bowl at the door. Buffy trotted up to the door when it opened, greeting Simon and Addy with an aggressive wag of her tail. Running to the room, Buffy hopped on the bed, turning a few times before lying at the end of the bed. She thumped her tail against the bed at the two cats coming into the room, that completely ignored the dogs and followed Addy around in the bathroom. Simon walked in, taking off his clothes and changing into a pair of sweatpants. He walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth before looking over at Addy who was still deciding how to wear her hair. He shook his head laughing at her as she made indecisive faces at the mirror. "Just wear it down," he suggested, walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her and placing his head on her shoulder while watching her in the mirror. 

Addy

Hearing Simon’s suggestion and smiling when he wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head on her shoulder. Dropping her light blonde hair down and, picking up the toothbrush to brush her teeth. Brushing them for a while before spitting into the sink and running the water to clean the toothpaste. Turning back towards Simon and lacing her hands in his leaning up and planting kisses to his lips “Just.....so....you....know....when.....we.....ever....become
....engaged....I’ll....be....taking....shopping....trips....your....side....of....the....closet” kissing him between words hungrily while guiding him backwards out of the bathroom. Flicking off the light as they exited and planting another set of kisses to Simon’s lips passionately. Breaking the contact and walking to shut the door and turn the light off. Swiping up on her phone to shine the bright flashlight at the bed. Getting into her side and leaving it on for Simon to get in before swiping down and turning off the flashlight. In the darkness now and scooting closer to Simon feet tangling with his and smiling widely in the dark. “I had a fun night tonight babe, thank you for everything....honestly there’s times where I question if I’m good for you and I always get my answer. Rolling over and planting a kiss onto Simon’s lips and cheek sighing with relaxation. Addy moving her head to Simon’s chest and letting out another sigh of relaxation “Just so you know your clothes look even better on me and this shirt is very comfy.” Giggling and then closing her hazel-green eyes falling asleep with one arm wrapped around Simon and the other loosely on top of Gemni’s Head as she slept beside her.



Morgan

Asleep and pressed aganist Carter with one arm hanging loosely off the bed. The beside clock hitting 4:00 in the morning, a bright light and ringtone of her cellphone on the table started ringing. Light blue eyes snapping open and quickly rolling to grab her phone. Sliding right to answer it before pushing back the covers on the bed to exit. Walking quietly out of the room and to the living room sitting on the sofa with a yawn and finally answering. “Hey Morgan it’s me Tod and I was calling because we need a dog trainer ASAP. A German Shepherd of the name Rinko got shot and he’s hiding in the building and won’t come out even for the handler. He’s aggressive around strangers but your the only hope.” Morgan Hearing the desperation in his voice and nodding “Yeah, I can be there as soon as possible....send me the location and I’ll be there soon.” Hanging up and blinking the sleep from her light blue eyes. Standing up and walking back to the room she shared with Carter. Trying to stay silent as possible and walking to the closet to turn the light on. Browsing through the selection of outfits to wear. Changing into black pants and a long sleeve grey shirt with the words Dog Trainer on the back. Exiting out the closet and to the bathroom quickly to get ready.

Simon

Simon smiled, his brown eyes watching as Addy finished getting ready for bed. Loosening his grip he allowed for her to turn around in his arms bringing her closer and returning each kiss she gave as he walked backwards into the bedroom. He laughed at what she said, "I can believe that." He dropped his grip, climbing into bed first with Minnie and Mickey at his feet, purring as Simon ran his hand over their thick fur. The two cats laid in between Simon and Addy's feet, Buffy laying in the dog bed on the floor at Simon's side. "I'm so glad you had fun tonight," he said with a smile, leaning in for another kiss. "There's a reason I don't have any shirts," he spoke with a laugh, "But they definitely do look better on you." He placed one last kiss on Addy's lips, wrapping an arm around her loosely with a yawn. His eyes closed slowly, the sleep taking over and pulling him into sleep.

Carter

Carter rolled over, vaguely hearing the ringing of Morgan's phone. His hands searched for Morgan, only to have an empty bed. His eyes opened as he raised himself and propped himself up against the headboard, blinking his eyes as he searched the room. "Babe, where did you do," he called out. Carter looked over at the clock reading just past 4:00. He pulled the bed sheets away and stood up, walking over to the bathroom, noticing the light was on. "What's going on," he questioned, concern written on his sleepy face. He propped himself up against the doorway, blinking his eyes to get used to the light in the room. 

Morgan

Adjusting in the bathroom and light blue eyes shifting to see Carter was awake with a concerned expression. “The local PD called and informed me of a dog who got shot on duty and now is in a building and won’t come out and since the local dog trainer is out of town I got voulentold to come.” Picking up the toothbrush and brushing her teeth quickly and spitting into the sink and turning on the water to rinse it. “If you wanna come with me you can just get ready quickly.” Walking to the door where Carter was and checking the clock “If you don’t wanna that’s fine as well I know it’s not your job and if you wanna go back to sleep then you can do that as well. Kissing Carter quickly and then walking out the bedroom to grab the correct gear she needed of grabbing a leash, toys, muzzle and plenty of other food items edible for dogs to eat that were safe. Morgan walking to the shelf and grabbing the car keys making her way to the door quickly since time was of the essence the captain’s words ringing in her ears “Get here ASAP he could be bleeding out in there.” Shaking her head and pushing open the door taking the porch steps quickly and making the way to her car. Throwing the stuff in the back and getting into the drivers side starting the engine and giving a short amount of time for if Carter decided to come along.

Carter

Carter nodded listening to her frantic words as she rushed around to get ready. "Okay," his expression softened, his eyes following her out of the bathroom. "Go on without me, you'll just be wasting time waiting on me to get ready," he spoke, walking back into the bedroom behind Morgan. "Just update me, okay." He placed a quick kiss on Morgan's forehead before letting her go. "I love you." He walked to the kitchen after watching her leave, grabbing himself a glass of water before going back into the bedroom and picking up his phone, seeing a text from his brother. It was a funny picture of his family from when they got back to Aunt Lisa's. He laughed, sending a quick text back. 'Hey, you wanna go do something today? You, me, Daniela.' He put the phone down on the nightstand, not expecting a reply until later as it was still early in the morning. Pearl and Ryker still on the bed with him, he patted their heads, closing his eyes for a moment with a yawn. 

Morgan

Starting the engine and pulling out of the driveway entering the location into her gps and starting in route to the building. Taking twenty minutes to get there and pulling into the parking lot where the cars were. Parking beside a police car and exiting her car walking to the people they were motioning her. Walking quickly and joining the police team “I’m Ms.Blackwell certified dog trainer that specializes in this.” Greeting the rest of the team and waiting for instruction from the captain. Morgan Nodding her head as the captain began informing her of what to do. “Well I’m going in alone....a large crowd is just going to cause him to be scared even more and kick in his flight response or his fight response.” Pausing and taking the com from the Cheif and inserting it into her ear casting a nervous glance towards the news reporter who shoved a camera in her face wanting to get the details. “I’ll be back shortly with Rinko...” reassuring herself and walking with a leash and the bag of food and muzzle towards the building. Morgan opening the door and observing the surroundings for places a injured dog would hide. Holding out her flashlight and beginning the search for the injured K9 praying he was alive.

Carter

Carter opened his eyes again when he heard his phone notify him of a text message. He picked up his phone, swiping it open and reading the message. 'Sounds good. I'm down.' He responded quickly to his brother with a simple 'ok' and put his phone back on the nightstand. Now wide awake, he decided to get up and let the dogs out. "Come on Buffy, come on Gemni," he called quietly to the two canines, not wanting to wake Addy or Simon up. With all the dogs following, he opened up the door and watched as they all ran out into the yard to do their business. 

Morgan

Shining her flashlight and spotting blood on the floor leaving a trail to the corner. Walking slowly and shining her flashlight at the corner spotting a German Shepherd laying down and whining. Crouching down to his level and opening the bag of treats throwing a piece of jerky at him gently. Rinko Giving a small whine and picking up the jerky to crunch on it. Slowly standing up and walking foreword a bit. “That’s it baby c’mon a a couple more steps foreword.” Holding out another piece of jerky and holding it out and looking away. Feeling wetness on her hand and turning to see Rinko at her side eating the treats in the bag. Slowly clipping the leash on and walking him out of the building greeted by an applause of police and people that gathered. “Honestly no big deal it’s just my job that I love.” Handing the leash to Cheif and in return grabbing a check that he had written of a large amount of money. “Listen Ms.Blackwell a position for a second K9 trainer is needed and the hours are flexible if your willing to take it a hearty pay.” Morgan In shock from the job offer and smiling nervously while turning a shade of red. “I need to discuss it with a certain person in my life first but, I’ll definitely get back to you in the next couple of days...” Nodding and receiving hugs and congratulations of a job well done. Morgan walking to her car with her gear and throwing the stuff in the back once more. Starting the ignition and beginning the drive to the nearest food place. Gemni perking her head at the sound of Carter’s voice and following with the rest of the dogs outside to play and go to the bathroom.

Carter

Carter sat on the porch for a moment, watching the dogs run around the yard. He yawned, the urge to go back and lay in bed for a few more hours tempting him, but the sun was already coming up and he knew he would need to get ready soon. He had already promised his brother and cousin a fun day out. Perhaps if Morgan got back in time and Simon and Addy woke up soon, they would like to tag along. Carter got up from where he sat on the porch steps, letting the dogs run around the yard while he went back inside. Pearl ran past Buffy with a low bark, stopping in her tracks and racing back over and tackling her to the ground with a playful growl. Pepper ran after his tail for a moment then went into a playful bow, suddenly wanting to play with the others. Carter walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge in search of something to eat. Pancakes and sausage were calling his name and he grabbed the milk, pancake mix, and sausage and began making the delicious breakfast, making extra for the others when they got up. 

Simon

Simon opened his eyes to the streaks of sunlight peaking from behind the curtains into the bedroom. He snuggled closer to Addy, not ready to get out of the warm bed. Closing his eyes once more he let out a sigh, knowing he would have to get up soon. The smell of sausage and syrup was what drew him to get out of bed though. He slowly removed his arm from around Addy, leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead before peeling the blankets off and leaving the bed. Simon walked into the closet, throwing on a random t-shirt that had a Captain America shield on it. Minnie and Mickey followed at his heels as he walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. "Morning," he spoke, walking over to the coffee maker and starting a fresh pot. "Mmmm, smells amazing," he sighed, smelling the food that Carter was cooking. He poured the cat food into the bowls sitting on the counter, Minnie and Mickey both coming up and eating before scurrying off when the dogs began piling inside for breakfast when Simon let them in after filling all of their bowls.

Morgan

Stopping at the McDonald’s and grabbing a coffee for herself and beginning the drive home. Taking the 20 minutes to get back and pulling back into the driveway and parking. Turning the car off and opening the door to get out with her coffee in one hand and her keys in the other with the dog gear from the back in her arms. Walking up and unpatching the gate and then shutting it quickly spotting Ryker who came bounding up to her with his all body wiggling in excitement. “I know Mommy’s glad to see you too baby.” Making her voice change into a gushy voice for Ryker. Walking up the steps with her hands full and using her elbow to open the door. Greeted by the smell of sausage and pancakes with more coffee hitting her nose. Smiling Morgan blinked her light blue eyes walking into the kitchen and dropping her keys into the bowl with the other keys and placing her coffee cup on the counter. Turning and spotting Carter making the breakfast “I found the injured police dog....he was fine and I won him over with jerky and my smile.” Laughing at the end part she added in and then walking back to the bedroom to place her gear down. Returning back to the kitchen and dining room leaning aganist the door frame and watching Carter cooking. Taking in a small breath and fixating her eyes on the light above “How would you react if I said I got a job offer.....” turning her blue eyes back to Carter to take in his reaction. Ryker barking and following Morgan in and running to the dog food bowl that Simon poured dog food into. Morgan turning her head and hearing Addy call her name leaving her spot where she was leaning aganist and made her way to the living room and sitting down beside Addy while shaking her head. “I thought they were being too nosy because that woman shoved the camera in my face.” Continuing to watch the screen with her on it. Turning the T.V.  off and walking to the kitchen back to the door frame to lean aganist. “No PDA!” Raising her tone and giggling covering her eyes with her hands and peering through them at the couple.

Addy

Still asleep after Simon left and rolling over feeling coldness. Blinking her hazel-green eyes open and being hit with the smell of breakfast. Stomach grumbling and moving the covers back to get out of bed and walking to the closet. Turning the light on and picking out another shirt from Simon’s side which was a college logo shirt and into another pair of leggings. Throwing her hair into a messy bun and exiting the closet to walk to the closet. Addy making her way to the kitchen and spotting everyone in the kitchen or dining room. Sitting down on the couch and pulling out her iPhone to scroll through Facebook seeing a news report of the K9 and multiple pictures of Morgan with the K9 she rescued. “Someone’s been busy this morning....Morgan your famous and on the news!” Yelling it louder so Morgan could come and turning on the TV to the new station which showed Morgan talking to the police officers and then go into the building. Shortly after coming out with the K9 on a leash. After, it need Addy gor up making her way back to the dining room and to Simon. “You could’ve woken me up Mr.Crimm....” shaking her head and pressing a soft kiss to Simon’s lips and pulling away. Hearing Morgan’s comment and shaking her head “How’s this then PDA Police.” Giving more kisses to Simon in various spots on his cheek and lips before pulling back with a grin.
