Road Trips and Family Shenanigans || BryJen
Jensen had never been anything but an optimist. Almost an idealist, even. Really, she was a dreamer at heart. That was why she thought having this huge family road trip was a fantastic idea. It was nice, having all of their kids and their parents in one bus (well, two because there were two of them) and just spending time with them. Most of all, it just gave them a chance to spend time with one another. With all of their kids grown up, moved out of the house and living like adults, they were all leading their own lives. It was nice to have time to reconnect, to be under one spot as if they had always been a family that lived under one roof. Ethan and Danielle were in the same bus as her and Bryson and Blythe and Sean were in the other, just because they felt that was a better split. (And they could only take so much of Blythe and Sean, and BK was the best at handling them without wanting to tear her own hair out. It was the lawyer in her.)
Ethan and Danielle were sitting at one of the tables, just talking over lunch about their lives and how everything was going. After all this time, they were finally in a good place, friends once again. They both knew that nothing would ever happen between them, not with the past that they had and certainly not now with the people they were in love with. Alex and Shay were talking to each other while entertaining Ricky. He was adorable and could not stop squealing excitedly at almost everything. He didn't get carsick like Alex used to get, fortunately. In fact, he was at his best when he was in the car or when he was being pushed in his stroller. Meanwhile, Siera was sulking in the corner because Bryson and Jensen made the decision to separate the twins from creating disastrous pranks. (But they figured they would get over it and continue on with pranks anyway, so maybe putting one pranky twin on one bus and the other on another bus wasn't exactly the greatest idea.)
Either way, their family was all there, scattered around in different spots in their (double-decker) buses. And maybe along the way, they'd switch spots, one kid switching with another kid for spots on a bus and whatnot. Jensen leaned back in the passenger's seat next to Bryson with a very satisfied smile (and the smile was not entirely because of their quickie at the gas station, of course). "I'm happy." She told him.
