Carl was protective of his loved ones, and Nik had proven to be like family to them.
He had shown love and loyalty and even during their missions, he had always put the safety of Amelia before anything else. And that was what any brother would do, so he damn right earned the spot on the family.
"yeah, and you also need to be careful." Carl said to Nik. "they will be reaching out to Nikolai, and if Alex realizes that you are one and the same, it will be something else.
We need to prepare for that too" Carl sighed as he put a lump of sausage in his mouth and Lia laughed at him when he blatantly choked on it.
He was stress eating, that much was evident. He would suffer at the gym later, but if stress eating made him functional enough to think of his family, then Carlos Coach would do anything.
