“What am I supposed to do? You’re a grown man and this is a good thing.” He smiled. “Okay, wolf. That’s nice. Simple. That’s how it should feel. You’re lucky.”

“I don’t know... pin me down, growl in my face, what do wolves do?” he laughed, folding his arms. “Simple. Nicely put. Says the man with the daughter of a mother.”

Beth nodded, giving a slight smile. “I’m sorry I did it to myself too… but grateful I am still here. No, no. It was a shock. I know.” She looked at him. “How are you doing?”

“It... yeah... a shock was the word.” He nodded, knowing he had to rip the band aid off. “Good... actually. I’m going to get married.”

“What am I supposed to do? You’re a grown man and this is a good thing.” He smiled. “Okay, wolf. That’s nice. Simple. That’s how it should feel. You’re lucky.”

“Then i’ll be happy.” he smiled gently at the man. “Simple? You’re with a witch.” he laughed at his brother. “I don’t know about lucky... i am a vampire blood addict. But i think maybe the universe owed me one.”

thexgerry:

“I mean, yeah, that sums it up,” he laughed with him, patting his back. “I am really proud. It is unexpected but really nice, yeah. Where did you meet her? Who is she?”

Jeremy laughed, folding his arms. “You’re... taking this well. We met on a full moon. She’s a werewolf too. Her name is Rose. You know... things were intense fast.”

“Well, she knows about you too, so meeting her won’t be totally crazy,” he laughed a little. “You do, yeah. You look well. Yeah? How did that go with her?” He smiled. “Wait? Yeah? Damn, that’s amazing news, little brother. Come here.”

“No, it’ll be a lovely family reunion with my father’s secret daughter.” he laughed to himself. “Awkward as hell.” he rubbed his lips together, laughing as he hugged him. “Unexpected, i know. But.... you know me. I was in the moment.”

“We’re here, we’re a family. We have our bonds. And Hazel is cool,” he nodded. “You look better and that makes me happy. And you’re ready to be back?” His smile grew. “Okay, a woman. I’m intrigued.”

“Yeah... haven’t actually met her yet. That’s going to be an insane one.” He took a deep breath. “I look better? Yeah... i’ve seen Beth already actually.” He nodded. “I uh... we’re engaged and i brought her home with me.”

Beth nodded slightly, fiddling with her hands. “I… yeah. I know. I… I am sorry. Sorry I did that to you.”

Jeremy looked down. “I’m sorry you did that to yourself. I am sorry i acted like an ass... but... I had my own shit.”

“Aye, but I’m proud of us,” he nodded, his eyes following Jeremy’s. “The little victories lead to the bigger ones. I mean, I can’t argue. You get to be the cool uncle.” He smiled at the way he spoke about his daughter. “ to me?”

“We were dragged up and we did alright.” He nodded. “Thank you. I think anytime i’m away from... the blood. I’m a better man.” He took a deep breath. “Yeah... i uh met someone while i was away. A woman.”

“It is nice but I… it’s more of a treat. This is home.” She gave a warm smile before it faded slightly. “No… he is with them. I suppose he still watches me when I… don’t know. He’s… weird around me.”

He nodded. “I can imagine why. You know how i feel... about this whole thing. I had to go and grieve for you.”

thexgerry:

“Our family dynamics,” he laughed, tapping the counter gently. “I am very very glad to hear that, Jer. I’m proud.” He smiled, really meaning it. “She’s not even a year old until next month. Glad you’re planning that far ahead. I’ll do the diapers for now. She is going to love you though.”

“We have an insane family.” He looked around, taking in the subtle changes, clocking the old piano sat on the stage. “Thanks for saying that. Little victories. That’s your job as dad. I get the fun stuff. Once she turns fourteen she can come and talk to me about anything.” He laughed to himself. “I uh... i have something to tell you actually.”

Beth’s eyes glanced over him, taking in his body language. “Thank you, I’m adjusting. I feel okay. They’re both in Paris. I spent some time there with them but it was time to come home.” She nodded. “As she does yours.”

“Paris seems nice, you could’ve made that home.” Although he was glad to hear that the girl saw this as her home still. Maybe Beth was in there somewhere. “I guess... Tomas is looking over you at least?”

“Well, I need to be. I’m the mom and she’s like the emotionless teenager,” he laughed, moving to lean on the counter. “Never in thirty something years. She’s good, she’s good. Has little grabby hands on everything.”

“Hilarious.” He opened up the water, taking a gulp. “Never. I am an upstanding citizen... and 9 months clean tomorrow.” He smiled, knowing if anyone was going to be proud of him. It would always be Gerry. “I can imagine. She’s a little magpie huh... good thing uncle Jeremy brought her home hundreds of presents. That kid is going to love me. I can’t wait to buy her beer.”

Beth could see the sadness in his smile and tucked her hair behind her ear. “Sorry,” she said quietly, knowing what he had meant. She was dead and cold like stone. “Thank you. I am. I guess, I am stable.”

Jeremy put his hands in his pockets. “Stable... is good. I’m glad to hear it. Ezra... is she still about? And Claudia... i miss her face.” He also knew returning home with his new news... might not go down so well with his ex lover who happened to be an ancient vampire.

“I get worse with every passing day, brother,” he laughed gently, giving his shoulder a squeeze. “Oh, well I can, I listen to the tone of your voice,” he joked.

“More and more like mom.” he joked, patting his back and heading over to the fridge to get water. “Uh yeah... i could never lie to you. Definitely. How’s the little one?”

bethxbenton:

Beth gave a small smile, remembering how the wolf had been to her previously. “Me and my stone heart will try to hold it together,” she joked lightly. “Glad to see your mug here again.”

Jeremy gave the blonde a sad smile, now unable to smell his sweet scent. It saddened him. “Stone something...” He sighed. “And you Beth... it’s nice to see you. You look... well.”

thexgerry:

“I’ll try, I’ll try. You face just makes me so emotional. But I am trying,” he laughed, moving to hug his brother. “It’s so good to see you in person again.”

“You’re still a soppy old git.” Jeremy laughed, patting his back. “Ah, phone calls just aren’t the same. You can’t tell when i’m lying to you.”

“Yes, yes i’m home. Try not to get too overwhelmed.” He grinned, dropping his backpack on the floor.
