Azalea's mouth opened to reply, but then stopped - taking in Lucas' comment. There were a lot of thoughts about the relationship, but that was not one of them. There had been thoughts about the age, but not all that came with the age. Logan did have more time to live. There was more life experiences with him. There was still also so much she had yet to learn about the older man - like the baggage that Lucas was talking about. There had to be a reason that Logan became a shrink. There was usually a reason everyone chose the profession they were in, especially when it came physiology. Biting the bottom lip, the brunette remained silent for a few minutes, taking it all in. There was a subtle fear came over the young woman that this was all a mistake. Maybe this wasn't a relationship that should be invested in.

The lieutenant sat there, lost in her thoughts, staring out into no where. "Yeah, I guess. He hasn't pressured me into anything, nor has he put any baggage on me," she replied, biting the lower lip, trying to think out exactly what she was trying to say. What was she trying to say anymore. "Like I said before, it doesn't have to decided today, I just....I don't know Lucas. I go back and forth. I want to be in this lifestyle, but then at times, I think I want to figure out my life without it. I mean, haven't you ever thought about what life would be without the military at times? I mean...hasn't the though ever come to your mind - especially now that you're with Gracie?" Surely the thoughts had to be coming more to mind, now that he was dating Gracie. Dating always brought about various thoughts and questions. Funny how relationships always open up a new doorway.

The questions that the Second Lieutenant threw at Lucas weren't ones he had been expecting. His face fell as he turned them over in his mind, trying to decide how to best answer them. He hadn't really given much thought to life outside of the military. He had spent the past few years of his life moving up to where he was and now he had a job that others could only dream of. As he rubbed at his jaw a quiet sigh left his lips and he pressed them together, his brows furrowing as he fell deeper into thought.

"It hasn't, no." He finally responded after a minute. "Gracie loves the military as much as I do and now she has an amazing job, flying ships that people can only dream exist. I'm working a job that I love..." His words trailed off and he glanced over at the woman beside him. "But now that we're looking for a place together and discussing a future that could change."

Lucas stopped talking for a moment as he tried to put his thoughts together. He needed to find a way to explain what he was thinking without sounding like he was trying to put down Azalea's new found relationship. "I guess it's easier thinking those things when it comes to Gracie though." He paused. "We're almost the same age - we're at the same stage in life so we get where the other is coming from."

"I just don't know how you can still have that with Logan, Az, and I'm not saying that to sound mean. If Gracie and I decide we want a family together we've got plenty of time. There's more of a timecrunch with you and Logan, you know? I'm sure he doesn't want to be fifty and having his first kid."

"It's not that I don't love the military. I do," Azalea replied, biting the lower lip, once again the thoughts cycling through the mind. The military had been her everything. There was just now more opportunity for other parts of life to come about. "I owe everything to the military - as well as those who pushed me and believed in me. I wouldn't be where I was today if it wasn't for that fact alone. I don't want to give up my job, nor is he asking me to. Just, thinking a lot because this opens new paths that never thought possible."

When Lucas explained about the future, marriage and kids, Azalea had to stop and think again. Another part of this relationship she hadn't thought about. Logan's eternal clock was ticking down faster than her own. Did he want kids? He was already thinking about reenlisting back into the military, so did that mean kids were off the table. Did she wants kids? That thought alone scared the brunette. It was great being an aunt. You can spoil the kid, get give it countless amounts of sugar, then when the kid gets annoying, hand it back to the parents. Kind of the cycle that happened with Serenity. Being a parent? That scared the former cadet - more than facing anything on a mission.

"I just don't know Lucas. Like I said, there is so much to think about and consider. I honestly don't know if I even want to have kids. Kids scare me. I like being an aunt - that's easy, but being a parent? Me as a parent? HA yeah that's funny, but I guess I do need to talk to Logan. I don't even know his hopes and dreams." A sigh escaped the lips of the frustrated brunette - running a hand over the face thinking it all through. Why couldn't things ever be simple? "So you're moving out on me huh? What am I going to do without you across the hall to bug? Leaving your little sister all alone." She gave him a teasing wink, nudging his foot gently. "That's cool though. I am happy for you two. I am going to miss having you across the hall, but I'm excited for you." It was going to take some getting use to not having Luc around. Maybe she cold convince Shannon to move across the hall.

Lucas knew what it was like to love the military, to view them as a family. He never had a father figure until he joined and even though him and Alavair weren't close, he was becoming a man that the young Lieuteant looked up to and admired. He loved the strength the older man had and after hearing his story about all that had happened to him, it was hard to not respect a man such as his team leader. He wouldn't admit it though - that was something that a man should keep to himself.

"I get that. Trust me."

Lucas knew where Azalea was coming from. He never once thought that he'd be thinking marriage, let alone children in the future. He never thought he'd so easily change his entire life for a woman but then Gracie walked in and his entire view on things changed. He wanted the white picket fence, he wanted the wife, the kids, the football games and it scared him how badly he ached for that sort of normalcy in his life. He, better than anyone probably, understood the situation Azalea was in and he knew how much finding one perfect person for you could change your entire world view.

"I guess you'll know when the time is right. Just because kids scare you it doesn't mean you won't be a good mom. Just take baby steps, alright? Talk to Blackwood and figure things out."

He took in a breath and laughed quietly, glancing at his friend when the change of subject was brought up. He was moving - he hadn't even realized he had told Azalea that. It wasn't even set in stone yet. The young man shrugged up his shoulders and he rubbed at the back of his neck.

"I don't know yet. We've talked about it and she's been looking at some places for the two of us. She wants a house - a legit house - not some apartment. It's a really big step and it's kind of scary."
