Mission: Episode 113 - No One Left Behind
Location: O’Riley Quarters

Tim stared at the screen in his quarters as he looked over the various repairs that had been completed throughout his duty shift. He had been busy since coming back onboard and was looking forward to any new mission that would hopefully come soon. He was so thankful for the life the he had and he enjoyed every minute of it.

Getting up to stretch he looked in on the twins. He smiled as he watched them sleep. They were so tired from the days activities that they were sound asleep. He had missed watching them sleep. It had been his custom to come into their room every night and sit their for a while, and even though he could sense their little minds no matter where he was he still preferred to personally look in on them. Smiling he went over to cover them up again and gently gave them another kiss good night.

Slowly he left the room and went to look in on Olivia, she was sleeping contently and with a slight smile on her face. Slowly he approached his side of the bed and slipped out of his uniform. Leaning over he gave her a quick kiss before laying down. Tim enjoyed these moments and prayed for more days like this but knew things could happen that would send him off again on another mission. Slowly Tim closed his eyes as he thought about the list of duties that still needed to be done in the morning.
