ROAR

(They just vibin)

If Jackson was borrower-sized 🥞

THE PRESSURE IS ON

Seriously, how’d he get there?

(PARENTAL G/T FLUFF! What, no angst? Eh, maybe next time. Today, Lorelai's teaching her baby boy how to walk!)

He stumbled around, trying to stand just for one second. Lorelai bent down and placed two fingers on either side of her son’s body. Jackson fell to the grass, but afterward, he grabbed hold of her thumb and index finger.

Lorelai blushed as he touched her. Slowly, she dragged him forward. His feet skidded across the grass, but she was waiting for him to take a step.

This lazy afternoon, Lorelai was teaching Jackson how to walk.

He’s almost got the hang of it… I guess I’ll try the drill cadence again. “C’mon, baby.” She smiled and began singing “Left, right, left.” Her loud, yet soothing voice matched the way he took his steps. Left foot, right foot, and so forth.

Lorelai let herself sing slowly, relaxing as the lyrics left her lips. She lifted him off the ground for a moment, and his tiny feet dangled in the air. Jackson giggled as he went airborne between her fingers.

When Lorelai lowered him back down, one of his feet touched the ground first, then the other. He continued to move on beat to the cadence, his eyes filled with confidence.

C’mon, lil guy… Lorelai chuckled as she sang. Get to marchin…

She remembered this cadence from her military days; a time before she’d even crossed paths with the Goliath Program. The Afghanistan War took a toll on every soldier, but there were some tolerable parts about it.

She was a prankster, AND a flirt- much to everyone’s amusement. The higher-ups saw a troublemaker, but a surprisingly good soldier. Everyone in her troop was her friend- it wasn’t like they asked to be. Lorelai had the energy that gravitated them to her.

Even her lieutenant couldn’t resist her… he ended up becoming Jackson’s father.

Eventually, Lorelai pulled her fingers away from Jackson, wondering if he’d continue walking on his own. Her hand dangled over him as he wobbled forward, just barely staying on his feet.

Lorelai held her breath as he took his very first steps.

“Left, rigggght legt, left, right, legt!” He babbled the cadence to himself, carefully taking each step. The little toddler was determined to step in sync with the lyrics- even if it took an extra second or two.

“B-baby…” Lorelai whispered, but then she got a whole lot louder. “Y-YOU’RE WALKING!” Her cheer shook the ground, and the grass blew away from her breath. Jackson turned around and clapped his hands, a big grin on his face.

“COME ON BACK…” She giggled, lowering herself to the ground. She also tried to get quieter, but the excitement didn’t leave her voice. “Come to Mama!”

Jackson wobbled his way back over to her, reaching out for her face. Lorelai watched as he stumbled along, and she extended her arms around him, like lines on the runway, guiding a plane into its landing.

He and Lorelai squealed when he reached her face. Jackson gave her nose a big hug, then fell to the ground. “You did it, baby!” She chuckled, tickling his belly with her finger. Jackson laughed and pinched his eyes tight. “HA HHA hAa Ha!”

…The military gave me a few good things… Lorelai thought, looking down at her little boy. But when I got restationed to the Goliath Program Facility? I can’t forget that… they- they made me into a giant. They want me to be their weapon- their “monster”.

 Jackson opened his eyes for a brief moment, and he noticed his mother’s soft, concerned eyes.

I won’t let that happen to him… She continued to tickle him, and he went back to giggling.

I won’t let it happen.
