Ellie tensed up at the kiss to her head, she knew it was safe but at the same time, everything was dangerous. She reached for the water again and took a gulp, glad that she had access to clean running water again. Hazel eyes blinked up at Merri, almost as if they were asking where Pride was. She really was curious where the SAIC was. Had he called Gibbs yet? What about Jake or her family? Had they given up after six years?

Merri smiled again and went to get her coffee, looking out into the courtyard to check the twins hadn’t already started trying to kill one another. She then had a cup waiting the minute Pride came through the door and saw Ellie. “Hey, Ellie.” Merri stayed stood behind her but shook her head and mouthed ‘non-verbal’ in his direction. “I need to go tell everyone you’re here. Then we can talk if you want.” Merri knew her partner would be gentle too, but she was so concerned about Ellie, about what it was in her mind.

She looked up at Pride, usually seeing him would've brought a smile to her face but now she just remained quiet. G-I-B-B-S she managed to sign through trembling hands J-A-K-E. She was asking for them, she didn't need to say anything to them, she just wanted to see them, to hear their voices.

“My approval rating is higher than his right now. He needs us on different parts of the trail.” That was something that was apparently common, especially at this part of campaign. They still had four months to go. “When we announce this… my approval ratings are going to go up even further, and we still have months to go. The baby is due at the start of December.”
Image

Her eyes looked at the stack of papers in front of her, all various newspapers that covered politics and she couldn’t help but notice how into this election she had gotten. “Do you think if I spent some time with Dad his approval ratings might go up? Most people like a good family man, don’t they?” Ellie leant forward and sighed, how had she gotten to thinking so much about politics? She wasn’t supposed to be thinking like this, she was only a teenager.

So I won’t be on officially doing drafts and asks until tomorrow, but I do have a quick request before I log off of my computer for the night and just go to IM and Skype. This is a bit sudden, but could everyone please tag relationship abuse of any kind ( friendship, romantic, queerplatonic, etc )? Usually I’m okay with it, but somedays it really hits me hard, just like today. I hope it’s not an inconvenience, but it would really make me feel better knowing that people could do that in case I have another one of these days later on. I’ll be adding this to my rules in the morning for future reference. Thank you, I appreciate you all and thank you for following me.

We Were The Survivors || Ellie and Merri (DS-Verse)

Merri looked back over to the back seats and tried to smile as she set off. Trying not to think of her friends and her fiance, those who probably didn’t know what had happened. They were likely all gone. She was actually relieved that she had complete immunity for all the laws she was about to break. She took as direct a route as was possible, ignoring one way systems and stop lights. Not that anything was moving right now anyway.

Ellie was glad that their charge didn’t wake up through most of this, the sounds would have woken Ellie up, but maybe this kid was used to chaos, her father was a politician after all. She didn’t dare say anything, the tension was too high and she knew that one of them would yell if the wrong button got pushed by the other, even if they were best friends.

Merri came up and kissed his cheek then squeezed his hand before speaking to their daughter. “Bear, you show daddy what you like in the bath, huh?” She watched him walking past her and smiled just as sadly when he stopped. “Thanks, babe. So will you. I’ll find us a movie to watch together tonight.” 

“Yeah, sounds good.” Eli nodded at her, a lump in his throat as he spoke. He sat down on the edge of the tub with Cerys in his lap, turning on the warm water. “Did you take good care of your Momma for me while you were away, little bird?” He quietly asked his daughter, watching the water rise in the tub. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there for your birth.” He didn’t need to apologize for that, but he still felt like he had to because she was his daughter, his first child.

“Go to sleep, Atti and I will be here when you wake up.” Merri smiled, kissing Cerys’ head before the little girl slid down to play on the floor. “We love you, all of us, You’re in the best possible hands… and your mother is coming.”
Image

“Alright, thanks, Mere.” He let Atticus lay against his chest, holding the little boy close and closing his eyes. He had missed this, the being close to his family, ever since work started getting crazy. A smile grew on his face before he fell asleep, just glad he would have his family, even if he didn’t have working legs.

“She’ll be OK, Eli. She’s come through worse.” James wasn’t sure, for a moment, if he was reassuring Elie or himself. “That would be great, thanks. I’ll forward you my flight details when they are done.” James then just hung up, and booked flights, then text Eli all of the details of when he’d be landing. He was now going to worry about Merri until he landed, and he couldn’t help but be a little sad about this too.
Image

When he hung up with James, he knew there was still one other person he needed to call, and that was Merri’s mother, practically his mother-in-law even if he wasn’t married to Merri. He sighed and tapped the contact in his phone, waiting silently as he let out a sigh. “Hello? Mrs Brody? It’s Eli.”

Charlie nodded. “Yeah, it was. I just-I love that family so much, they’re the first ones that connected with me when I started working here, and-” 
She forced herself to stop babbling and rubbed her eyes.
“I’m so sorry. Please, keep going.” She just wanted to get this over with.

“So you had developed a sort of professional relationship with them?” She didn’t want to sound insensitive, but work was work and sometimes going through the motions sounded insensitive. Victims and people who knew the victims often cried, but she knew it was because most of them usually weren’t equipped to deal with the stress of death on a regular basis like she was.

“He’s never done it to me before. Then again, I’ve never told him how often I skip breakfast, so as long as we don’t tell him we should be fine.” Jordan mused, chuckling at the conversation, but when she got up he pouted a little playfully. “I don’t know, but I should probably at least head in to brief the team if they’re going after the guys I was undercover in.” He wanted to train or something, but he knew she wouldn’t let him, and if he was completely honest with himself he knew he really shouldn’t.

“I find it hard to skip breakfast usually, I like food too much.” Ellie let out a soft laugh and nodded in agreement not to tell Ducky about skipping breakfast. Hazel eyes flicked across the room back to him. “I’m sure we can arrange for that.” She walked back over to him and sat down in his lap again. “Better?”
