#rubyotis

Oop Maeve just said I Love You to Otis and he did not say it back I immediately noticed that lemme call Ruby real quick she needs to know this

don’t think about otis inviting ruby over to his house months after they haven’t been speaking. baby joy is finally asleep so there’s a moment of peace and quiet. but ruby shuts the door a little too loudly and of course the baby starts crying instantly. otis panics in his own big brother way and runs to the nursery, ruby following quickly behind. otis picks up joy to see if she needs a new diaper, thankfully she doesn’t. he hands her to ruby and insists he holds her while he goes and makes her a new bottle. ruby is on the edge of throwing a fit but gives in anyway. when otis comes back upstairs, joy is fast asleep in ruby’s arms in the rocking chair. he flashes back to when they had the pregnancy scare and he didn’t hesitate to tell ruby that he would drop out of school and get a job so they could be a family if she kept the baby. and looking at her now, holding his baby sister with such care, he doesn’t regret saying any of those things to her. he meant it, he still does.
