Eric sat at the table in the morning. It was his day off, so he sat with Liara in his arms, playing with her ears as he sneaked some bites in. He caught himself looking at her pinched face, and the different faces she kept making made him chuckle. "Still finding out how your face functions, sweetheart?" He asked gently, eating a bagel.
Jessica walked in, her hair up in a messy bun while she grumbled. "Morning." And sat down.
"You're off today?" She asked, wide eyed as Eric was not in uniform.
"Yeah. With things settling down for the moment, General Milano has ordered a rotation of off days for leadership. We will each get one day off per week, but we will all stay on call. I could be called in at any time."
Jessica smiled, grabbing his arm. "Finally! That means mom and I can go get our nails done!" She squealed happily.
Eric shook his head as he kissed the teenager's head.
