Merrick hadn’t been the best of husbands the last few years since he was so focused on the Ghosts he often forgot about you, his husband.

You were at home, always alone, and he’d almost never text you back or pick up your calls. Sometimes Elias would notice and tell him off for it.

But soon threats were made to you so Merrick brought you onto base and he realised just why he’d fallen in love with you. Although he knew you weren’t happy with him ignoring you.

One evening he found you in his room knitting gloves for the boys since they were complaining about the cold weather and Merrick didn’t even know you could knit.

“Since when do you learn to knit?” Merrick asked you while subtly admiring you.
