“That’s what makes it fun, well… for me at least,” he grinned. Michael shook his head, wrinkling his nose slightly, “No, Dad! It’s not that. It’s better, I think,” he started to explain, “See, remember how Coach always does these camps and training sessions during the summer? For incoming freshman at the high school? He asked me to help! I mean, I know I’m already in at Carthay U, but this would still look so good on a resumé, right?!”

‘‘Have you not figured out that I’m allergic to fun yet?’‘ George teased, letting out a soft laugh. Before sitting forward in his seat to listen to his son talk. His face lighting up at Michael’s news, ‘‘That’s amazing news son! I’m so glad to hear that!’‘ George stood up and pulled his son into a tight hug. ‘‘That’ll look amazing on the CV and even better that he asked you! That’s brilliant! We need to celebrate!’‘

   "just never thought people would talk about me,“ she said with a shrug. jenny watched as he grabbed two cups as well as the sugar and honey. her head tilted as he went to prepare her tea as well as his own. she reached to take it from him and took a small sip,” what makes you think you aren’t the first choice? that sounds a little self depracting.“ she had only heard a bit about him from his children. he seemed a bit intimdating but nice none the less.

‘‘Well my boys talk about you at least, tell me what a nice girl you are.’‘ George gave Jenny a soft smile as he handed over her tea. Taking a sip of his own cup he let out a hearty laugh at her comment; ‘‘Because I’m their father, and noone would ever choose to hang out with their friends father.’‘

“Oh yes! Michael in particular is quite the enthusiastic conversationalist!” She giggle. “Being stressed over your child is simply one of the many perks we are given when raising them. I, for one, can’t even count the amount of pastries I’ve consumed throughout the years due to stress from my boys.” Cass admitted before nodding. “I don’t think I can imagine you doing it that way, but I’m glad to hear that you’ve been taking the time to do so. I’ve heard that meditation is good for both the mind and soul, but I’ve never actually taken the chance to do so myself.”

‘‘Absolutely, he’s a very passionate teenager. ‘‘ George, loved his children more than anything on the planet, besides his wife. But by god, did he need help coping with them at times. ‘‘It’s tea for me, copious amounts of tea that I’ve consumed to cope with them.’‘ George shook his head. ‘‘Yeah, I just sit somewhere quiet and take five minutes and it’s been really helpful so far.’‘

“Thank you.” Pascal didn’t hold back their sigh of relief. They worried, a bit, that he would be angry they’d interrupted him. They didn’t plan on making much conversation, but to keep the silence from being awkward, they tossed in a “good read?” as they settled in their new seat.

‘‘It’s not a bother, plenty of room for two.’‘ George gave the other a soft smile, before taking a sip of his tea before turning the page. ‘‘It is actually yeah, someone gave it to me as a joke but it’s turned out to be good.’‘

“Three kids, I can definitely relate to that,” Bob said, nodding vigorously. “And yeah, sure… I’d take as much help as I can…even if it comes from some book,” he added.

‘‘How old are yours?’‘ George asked, raising an eyebrow at the other. ‘‘Just has some good tips for not losing the head in situations, which as it turns out. Is a problem for me.’‘

    ❝  TAKE YOUR TIME ,  though i believe warm tea is better than cold …  a joke ?    i suppose that’s not really a bad thing ;  besides ,  a new book is never a bad gift .  ❞  the woman stated with a gentle yet confident tone ,  a hand resting on her husband’s shoulder when she reached him ,  the other taking ahold of the book once he’d put it down .  while her gaze scanned the back cover briefly ,  mary spoke again .  ❝  frankly my dear ,  nothing is quite like dickens .  what makes an author good is his uniqueness  —  there’s a reason they still teach shakespeare at school .  however ,  ❞  she paused ,  placing the book back on the desk ,  ❝  i think it’s wonderful that you decided to give it a chance .  i think you might not want to show it to the kids though ,  as they might laugh a little .  perhaps not john ;  that one will probably be more concerned about the book’s writing rather than its content .  ❞

‘‘Hot tea, if definitely better. Can’t get on to this iced tea thing, honestly. What’s wrong with good old English breakfast tea? Fred thought it was funny, but the jokes on him, this is actually a really helpful book.’‘ George let out a laugh, his hand moving to cover the one that his wife had placed on his shoulder, giving it a soft squeeze. ‘‘That’s very true, and here I thought they just taught Shakespeare for the fun of it.’‘ He smiled softly at Mary, bring her hand to his lips and pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles. ‘‘You mustn’t worry about me so much dear..’‘ George said, standing up from his seat. ‘‘Don’t worry, I’ll be keeping this hidden from their prying eyes, lest I become to butt of even more jokes.’‘

Tilting her head slightly, she smirked a bit. “Are you preparing for a future emergency or somethin’?” 

‘‘It always pays to be prepared. But no, just the father to three teenagers who like to test my patience.’‘

“Let me guess,” Cass began with a humor gleam in her eye “They gave you that because they assumed that you are overly stressed?” She inquired with a small chuckle. “People can find themselves being quite passionate when in a case, sometimes too passionate even, so I imagine that some of the tips in here can help in relieving some tension. May I ask which one of the tips you find the most useful?”

‘‘I don’t this is that much of an assumption. Have you met my children?’‘ George let out a soft laugh, shaking his head. ‘‘That’s so true, what can I say. I’m passionate about the truth.’‘ He smiled at Cass. ‘‘Meditation actually, not sitting and doing all that cross legged stuff, but just taking time to reflect.’‘

   "I just didn’t think anyone talked about me,“ she explained meekly. Jenny shrugged as she followed him into the kitchen. He was going to fill up the kettle and and she remained looming in the doorway,” Um, just some sugar and a little honey if you have it.“ She glanced over her shoulder before looking back at him,” Oh, I wouldn’t want to bother her unless you have other things you need to be doing? I can just hang out and stay out of your hair.“

‘‘What a preposterous notion to have, why wouldn’t they talk about you?’‘ George’s eyebrows shot up in shock at Jennys admission. Grabbing two cups from the stand, the honey and the sugar George assembled Jenny’s tea, before adding milk to his cup and putting everything away. ‘‘I’m not doing anything of importance, but I understand that I’m not exactly the first choice Darling to hang with.’‘ 

[georgexdarling]

lilmichaeldarlin‌:

“Well, that takes away from the fun surprise of it, doesn’t it?” he asked, grin still on his face, “But it’s good and it’s school related.” 

‘‘Good, and school related. Well those are words that I like to hear in one sentence. I’d guess something mundane like passing a test, but I feel like it’s bigger than that.. and I’m really bad at guessing games.’‘ George laughed, rolling his eyes at his son, letting out a sigh he leaned back in his chair. ‘‘If it’s not that you’ve decided to follow in my footsteps and pursue law, I’ll be heartbroken.’‘ He teased, a smirk evident on his face.

‘‘Just doing some light reading. It was a secret santa gift.’‘

guilt trickled through ella’s system for interrupting george darling’s evening, her bright optics were slightly dimmed at the mere prospect. however, his kindness relaxed her in an instant, she smiled softly, reaching forward and shaking his hand in response. “ i’m so sorry to interrupt your evening, i was so sure i was the one running late. ” a small hint of laugher was concealed in her tone; after all, michael had teased her before about her time management ! “ i’d love a glass of water, but really, i can grab it. i don’t want to disturb you. ”  

In all honesty, George hadn’t been doing much, reading a book and relaxing. Which didn’t happen often, with three teenagers running around. ‘’You’re not interrupting, it’s fine. I’m sure they won’t be long at all.’’ George stood up from his seat and headed towards the kitchen. ‘’My wife would kill me if she thought I wasn’t being a good host. Please, let me.’’

“what do they say? if it isn’t broke why fix it? such a funny phrase.”

‘‘Can’t go wrong with a three piece suit, can I?’‘

“ george. georgie. g man ! listen, i need your help. pro buono at that. you can afford that, yeah ? anyways, i’m trying to get these service hours taken care of without actually y’know…taking care of them. you can help with that can’t you ? ain’t that your job ? ”

‘‘I am not a miracle worker; I cannot just get them to take them away when they are already on your record. I am a lawyer, defending the innocent and putting away the guilty. Not making failing attempts to save your skin. I should charge you for wasting my time, and let me tell you. I do not come cheap!’‘

Pascal placed their own stack of books on the corner of the table, offering the man an apologetic smile. They’d been searching for an empty seat, but they all seemed to be in use or reserved. As much as they hated to bother him, they’d hate even more to have to leave the building entirely. “May I sit?”

George looked over the top of his book at the other, hid peace and quiet breaking right before his very eyes. But looking around the room he saw that all the other seats were taken and his face softened slightly. ‘’Of course, take a seat. It’s not a bother.’’

   jenny was just hoping that he wouldn’t be angry that she had just walked into his home. it didn’t seem like he was when she noticed the expression on her face,“ it’s nice to meet you too,” she told him though a look of surprise appeared,“ they have?” she was almost curious to know what they had said. she watched him as he stood up and set his book aside,“ i suppose waiting couldn’t hurt and tea sounds great.” she took a breath as she looked around the house,“ i’m guessing you are the only one home right now?”

‘‘Of course they have, why wouldn’t they?’‘ George raised an eyebrow at the girl. Walking through to the kitchen, grabbing the kettle and filling it up with water. ‘‘Of course not, what do you take in your tea?’‘ George asked, grabbing a couple mugs from the cupboard. ‘‘I actually think that Wendy is around here somewhere? I can call her if you’d rather her company while you wait for the boys?’‘
