Eric and Mia returned to a house with every light on. Jessica had been told in advance that she needed to get everything ready to leave in the morning. Eric walked into the living room, and a diaper bag lay on the couch. The items that would be going to Samara's house with Liara were all neatly laid out. Mia did her best not to look at them, and Jessica was doing her best to distract herself by playing with Liara. She lifted the toddler into the air before catching her, making Liara giggle and nuzzle against her sister.
Eric watched from the side. His go bag rested near the front door with Mia's. Mia walked up, watching their two daughters, and she rested her head on Eric's shoulder. "I don't think we should take Jessica." She muttered. "Bringing her to the Empire after all the shit she went through there might be asking too much of her."
Eric sighed and watched as Jessica lay Liara on the couch, tickling her. "I agree. We shouldn't take her. But we need her."
