-sneaks up for a rear pat and a cuddle- Do you think if we are very, very quiet (and I keep the storms to a minimal) that the young man down the hall will suspect anything? Or I can make the storms very loud and perhaps he will not hear anything...

*Jane turned to face him, running her hands up and down his arms. Judging by the look on her face, she was obviously tempted. She put her finger to his lips and nodded.*

We’ll play a game. How quiet can we be?

*She pretty much planned to torture him into being loud.*

So. It's almost midnight and I gave Nate food...is there some kind of disease where people can't eat past midnight?

Does this mean he won't sleep?

Is something horrible going to happen? 

This is not the time for me to be doubting parenting skills.

Oh my God, Indy's going to kill me.

savedbythesully replied to your post: I was wondering why things  were so quiet lately....

I thought you could use the break.

--Could'a used a longer break.

Hey.

—Yeah?

[askjanethescientist]

Look! Nate and Jane!

Do you think Dad would like Nate?

Yeah. I’m glad Nate likes to read (that will help your dad like him), but I’d wait until Nate has a better grasp on manners before introducing him to your dad. I’m not really sure what to do there but I think he’ll eventually want to emulate you more. Any kid who’s gone a while without a parent wants stability and sincerity in any and all relationships. Trust me on that. 

Just act like a gentleman and he’ll become a bit of one. I know you’re capable of that. You guys joke around a lot and it’s cute, but you need to be sincere with him, too.

And hey, you know I appreciate rugged, macho behavior more than anyone, but being a man is about more than that. I know you know that - show your dad that you’ve taught Nate as much and you won’t have a problem.

And Indy? 

Thank you for asking me.

hi!

1. First impression: Why is he so deceptively adorable?2. Truth is: Indiana really needs help mentoring you. He’s pretty lucky I’m around. You’re a smart kid and you need some structure and education. 3. How old do you look: teens4. Have you ever made me laugh: A few times, after we talk, but I don’t show you. Mostly when I recall our interactions to Thor.5. Have you ever made me mad: You try my patience, but you’re a good kid. 7. Have I ever had a crush on you: No. That would be really weird. I get that I’m not your mom, but I’m almost old enough to be your mom, and you’re sort of like Indy’s kid, so… just, no, all around no.8. You’re my: Ex-boyfriend’s son type figure person. I have wondered if Indy and I had ever had a kid, if he’d be like you. Because I have a feeling he would. I think you’re too smart for your own good and you seem pretty wild and adventurous. A dangerous combination.9. Name in my phone: It was listed as Nate, but someone changed it to “Awesome.” I wonder who did that…Nate?
