the first time it's ellie who catches you two
you're curled up in jesses lap, the tv low in the background. some horror movie flashes on the screen as the plot twist is revealed. you're yapping away, your smile bright as you tell jesse all about patrol.
"Cat ended up falling through the roof of a snowed in house and sprained her ankle. I had to rig up some rope thing to pull her out. It was a nightmare, but I got her out."
he was just about to reply when the door to your room swung open. you sit up, your forehead slamming into his chin. you're both laid out groaning as ellie stands there. watching the two of you for a moment she points directly at you.
"Two months ago, on New Year's Eve."
"And you're already getting caught?"
she shakes her head and points at jesse.
"You treat them right, understand?"
he nods and she frowns before leaving. she never takes her eyes off jesse. when she leaves you're left with a headache and a bruised forehead.
the second time it's dina who catches you two
your kisses are soft and curt. just something small in the middle of the party to satiate you two. you're in the back of the town hall, your bodies hidden behind some coats and gun. you're both like kids in love just straight giggling between kisses as you enjoy the others company. it's when the fireworks start dying down that you decide to join the rest of the town again.
"Are you guys fucking in here? Why is it so warm?"
"Because it's the middle of august."
you gesture to the heat practically seeping through the floorboards. she rolls her eyes and pop her hand on her hip. taking a few more steps she grabs you by the arm. dragging you away from jesse she whispers in your ear.
"You're not pregnant too."
"What? God, no. I would scream."
"Oh, so that's where you two were."
you nod and she purses her lips in thought. after some deliberation she finally nods and leaves you alone with her voice echoing in the small space.
"I'll give you my leftover condoms. Not like I need them anymore."
the third time it's aunt maria who catches you two
sighing you rub your cheek against jesse's with a faint smile. your arms are wrapped tightly around his neck as you rest comfortably on his lap. the room is filled with smoke and you're not expecting your replacement for at least another hour. the walkies have been silent for forty minutes or something and it's been nothing but nice. your skin jumps as marias voice cuts off your high yapping.
"Jesse? Y/N? Where are you two?"
jumping off his lap you stumble and fall back into place. wrapping his arms around your waist to steady you. that's how maria finds you both just wrapped in each other. looking at you through the doorway she sends her partner off to start their rounds before walking in. pointing between you two she gives a sift smile.
you feel your face heat up and for some reason aunt maria finding you two embarrasses you more than anything. sliding off his lap you make sure to take your time so you don't stumble again. facing maria you look over at her with a soft smile.
"Good, glad you finally got together. It's been long enough hearing you two talk about the other. Now go on, get your coats. Get back to Jackson quickly, it's cold out there."
the fourth time it's uncle tommy who catches you two
smiling you presses kisses against jesse's exposed chest. smooth skin peppered in moles and marks from years in the apocalypse. you laid across his front while lazy arms encircled your waist. much less lazy hands squeeze and rub at your blanketed butt. you felt absolutely amazing and was riding on cloud 9 when a noise alerts you two. hopping out of the bed jesse only has time to throw on his boxers before the door is thrown open. covering your head with the blanket you silently scream into fabric.
"Ah, hell. Is this why you two skipped out on patrol?"
ripping the blanket from your face you get ready to argue. jesse lets out a noise much like a surprised seal.
"What patrol? We went out this morning."
"No you went out, they weren't scheduled. Did you two go on patrol together? Where's Mike?"
"He got sick, he said he cleared it with you."
the room is silent as tommy mulls over the news. looking between you two his eyebrows furrow.
you glance over at jesse, his formal tone a weird reminder of your spot in this community. sitting up you hug the blanket over your shoulders so only your head pokes through.
"Please don't tell him, not yet."
"You need to tell 'em. You can't let him catch ya'll like this. He'll kill me."
"Okay, I promise. I'll talk to him tomorrow. I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, sweetheart. You didn't do anything wrong. Lord knows how hypocritical it'd be of me to lecture you."
with that he takes one glance look between you two before walking out mumbling.
it takes you three days to finally tell your dad
you're sweating bullets as you knock on joels door. you can hear him mumbling and cursing behind the oak as he fiddles with whatever. a chair scrapes against wood and the door it opened to a frown. it only takes a second before he realizes who you are with a wide smile.
"How are you doing, sweet pea? Something the matter?"
you take a deep breath before nodding. taking his hand in yours you keep your voice steady.
"Me and Jesse are dating. No i'm not telling you because i'm pregnant and yes we are being safe."
he frowns and thinks hard for a long while. keeping your hand enclosed in his he stares directly at them the entire time. every question imaginable must be running through his mind as he thinks about the words he wants to use.
"How long have you two been seeing each other?"
"An entire year and you never said a word?"
"I didn't want you to get all dad mode on me."
"Well it's not like I have a lot of experience in this department."
"I know, but I promise everything's been great. Jesse is sweet and kind and everyone approves. Even Ellie."
he hums and pats your hand. nodding slightly he kisses the top of your head with a long sigh.
"You're growing up so fast, kiddo. Remember when we first got here and you spilled your ice cream all over Jesse's pants?"
"Oh god, don't remind me. I must have cried for hours that night."
"Yep with Ellie right beside you trying to calm you down. Time flies."
giving you a soft hug he holds you at an arms length. letting you back away he smiles before asking if you wanna join him in fixing a clock.
