authorâs note: english is not my first language. i had so fun writing this one, i love love love jerry.
warnings: tlou au. jerry is alive (đ). abby and reader were scared of his reaction to their relationship. jerry is just a caring father. reader and abby are two little loving birds. reader is called babe and kid. fluff and a lot of kissing!
before the outbreak you were in med school but after everything, you ended up working as a doctor at the medical section in the stadium. jerry taught you almost all you know, he always says to everyone that asks about you how you are so smart and kind, your relationship with him is one of the most important things to you, he is more than a professor or your boss, he is a friend, a safe place. when you were at you lowest he helped you, saying that you had a potential regardless everything had done wrong, he showed you how to save live peopleâs lives but he saved yours.
so when you and abby started to date, you had only one rule: jerry CANâT know about, at least not until you two are ready to tell him. but didnât worked, he knew you and his daughter very well. abby had just arrived from a rough patrol, they went to a new area filled to the brim with infected, the ones in further states, abby and manny counted 5 bloaters. so she was siting on a old hospital bed while you cleaned the wound on her shoulder, you were in a separate section, only you two there, âthisâs a pretty deep one, babe, i think is gonna need stitches.â you said and she winced with the burn of the alcohol, âi donât feel nothing.â she said confidently, âmaybe is because your adrenaline still high.â you said rolling your eyes at her, âor maybe is because my girlfriend has the gentlest hands.â you laughed and looked at her, even sitting she was taller than you, âi gonna grab the needle.â
when you were done with her arm you kissed the wound and she hugged your waist, you kissed her forehead, âi missed you.â you said softly, âme too babe, me too.â you cupped her cheek and kissed her, softly, sweetly, without any hurry. you two separated when you heard the curtains open, âhi kid, did u see abby? nora said she already arrived but i didnât find her-â abby was holding a smile and you pretending to search for something on the shelf, he could read the situation very clearly but chose to say nothing. âhey abs, are you okay?â he said walking to her, âyeah, only needed a few stitches.â she pointed to her shoulder, he took a look at your work âthis is one of the best stitches works iâve seen.â he said and you walked closer them, âi learned from the best.â you said and he put his arm around your back.
later, you and abby were at her dorm, cuddling on her bed, sharing lazy kisses. it was a piece of heaven in hell, âiâ kiss. âmissedâ kiss. âyouâ kiss. âso muchâ kiss. âi missed you too babe.â she said between giggles, âbut now you are all mine.â she said singing and hugging your body closer to hers. you two stayed like this, glued together for a while. and suddenly you heard three knocks at the door, typically of jerry, you tried to get up but abby grabbed you harder âstay.â and you trying to get out of her embrace, âabby! let me go, you dad is here.â you shouted whispering and that woke her but it was a little late. you just heard jerryâs voice saying âiâm coming!â you heard the door open, âabby, my dear, howâs your shoul-â and he sees. he sees you and abby on the same bed hugging each other âoh sorry!â he said and rushed to the door, âdad! wait! thisâs nothing what lo-â and you two were left with a loud âdumâ of the door. âi told you.â you said trying to get up but abby grabbed you, âscrew it.â she said positioning you on top of her and kissing you. âyouâre a pain in the ass abigail.â
after the little accident, you were avoiding jerry. every single time he would try to approach you, you went away. so he made the easy choice: talk to abby. so this time, when abby came back from a patrol, he made sure you were busy enough to donât even see abby coming.
jerry and abby were talking while cleaning his dorm, when the silence took over he addressed the elephant in the room: âso⌠whatâs going on between my girls?â abby swallowed hard and looked at him, making a fake confusion face. âoh you know what iâm talking âbout. you and y/n.â she took a deep breath âiâm sorry, i know you really like owen and everything but i donât think i like him, to be honest i donât like men at all, and i understand if youâre mad at me but i really love her, and i want her, even if you donât wanna us together, even if you donât accept us, weâll still be together, weâre dating. i love you dad, and i respect you but-â abby stopped her rambling when jerry started to laugh, âi donât give a damn if youâre a lesbian, sweetheart.â âno?!â she said, surprised. âof course no, i love you no matter what. but iâm mad you didnât told me you were dating her, i love this girl. sheâs the best decision you could make.â, he hugged her shoulder, âyeah, i know, these last three months have been the best ones.â âyou been hiding from me for three months? oh my god.â he smacked her arm playfully and she pushed him but he grabbed her hand and pulled her for a proper hug, âi love you, unconditionally. and fuck owen.â
later in that day, during the dinner, you and abby were sitting together, it was the first time that you actually managed to be with her. you were talking, without any worry in the world when jerry sat across the table, you were about to get up but abby held you, âwait.â she said softly, but you couldnât meet his eyes, embarrassed, so you just kept looking down when he took your hand, âhey, look at me. iâm not mad, kid.â you looked up and he continued, âi donât see you any less because you like girls, i couldnât give a less fuck about this. i love you, kid, really. doesnât need to be all embarrassed from me, itâs just me.â he said and got up, walking towards you. you got up and hugged him, tightly, âi love you jerry.â you said while a fat glob ran out of your eye, âi love you more kid.â he said and kissed the top of your head, abby joined the hug, and he kissed her head too âi love both of you, my fave girls.â
and there, at his embrace, you realized how the fear of tell him was silly. itâs was jerry, the man that taught you how to ride a bike and abby how to braid her hair. he loved you both, more than he could ever explain. itâs was silly to think that the way you love each other would ever make him love you both less, when you add love, the result is always more love.
