JAY: you can say that again JAY: kinda cute at christmas at least

@livingshivld “do you ever worry that we spoil her too much?” a very fatigued jay breathed quietly trying to keep quite not to wake the sleeping baby who was currently snuggled into his chest. a year old could still be a baby, frankie was always going to be small in his eyes even when she reached fourty. “i have to say though, we’re killing the whole birthday thing babe,” even if all he wanted to do in that moment was snuggle up with them and forget the rest of the world.

“cass?” jay questioned upon the sight of the other, crouching to be at the other’s level. it was strange to see cassie upset if he was honest, so often used to finding the other being a light for everyone else. “everything is clearly not fine, what’s up?... i mean if you wanna talk about it,”

JAY: because new york hates us JAY: that’s the only reasonable response

“Do they though?” Jay replied with a raised brow. “I mean yeah they’ve got pikachu but fire type is where the power is I mean there’s very little that can beat my charizard,”

he waves his hand as the other spoke, hoping to get the other to stop talking even though he knew that wasn’t going to happen. “you saying i should hang this on my wall?” he jokes. “thanks steve,” and he meant it. there was more than one reason to admire captian america. “they’re okay,” jay nods enthusiastically. “i don’t know if pa’s told you yet but they’ve moved in,” the grin spreads on his features then, nothing would ever make him happier than frankie being accepted by his family. “whenever you want, we’re always looking for babysitters,”

“however bad you think school is i promise work is worse,” jay was, at least for the moment ignoring the fact that he still worked in the very same school juni was complaining about. “of course i am,” he laughed. “frankie is one of the two best things in my world, even when she’s getting me up at five am,”

the time aeron had been absent had been harder on jay than he was likely to admit to most people. he had been grateful for the fact they were getting the help that they needed but any spare moment was spent worrying over them. not to mention being a single parent he never he wanted to experience again.”just about,” he agreed with a nod. “it’ll be worth it i promise,” aeron always brought out his romantic side “yeah,” jay spoke raising a brow, an unspoken question there as always doing his best to check up on the other. “right now that sounds like heaven,”

jay liked to think he was good at handling all of this, his adult life that very much dealt with the fact that aeron wasn’t going to have the bes health all of the time, but it had ben so long this time that he supposed he had just managed to lull himself into a fake sense of security “yeah, yeah of course,” jay spoke nodding, still not wanting to let go of their hand just yet. “do you wanna lie down, or have a nap even,”

any comment the male could have made about that not being the best idea died in his throat. he had once run to the other side of the world to avoid his problems, and though he was many he things he was certainly not a hypocrite. “right well, if that changes and you need someone, i’m your local screw up so,”

jay grins as his father complimented them. it was a fact he already knew of course but the fact that someone else was able to see it too overjoyed him to no end. aeron was his everything so it was important that they were included in the family. “I really don’t know how they put up with me,” he signs jokingly shaking his head. “that’s sorted then,” he grinned “I should have known you wouldn’t pass up the chance to see frankie” he had half a mind to invite mom and Ava too. “I’ll text you the details when I’ve checked with aeron,”

starring jay barton as peter pan, aeron lee gwynn as tinkerbell and frankie barton as tootles.

“send my love,” he comments before his brows raise in shock. “what? you’re kidding,” he speaks. “that’s gotta be a lot to process. how you holding up with it?”

“same old, same old then huh,” jay comments with a laugh. “girls will do that, or y’know people in my case,” even now he was entirely distracted whenever aeron walked into a room. “school’ll be over soon though i promise and then you might even miss it, or the simpleness anyway,”
