“Can i sleep with you tonight?”

Sleep is already starting to be his enemy at this young age. So when John creeps into their room. Jacob is already awake, trying to talk himself into sleeping.His internal problem is interrupted when he looks over at the toddler at his bedside. “C’mon,” he says simply and lifts his blankets. “Shhh, don’t wake Joseph. Did you have a bad dream?”

Mairwen looked about the Ranch with a frown on her lips, mentally cursing herself once again for all of this. She didn’t have to do this. Really. Jacob already didn’t like the idea of her being out, unprotected and pregnant. Yet here she was.

She isn’t even entirely aware of her hand on her stomach as she approaches. There are Chosen there, watching her. Some of them look familiar. Trained on Jacob’s compounds, she’s seen them before, surely. And they let her move without a fuss until she approached the door and one finally approached her.

❝I’m here to see John.❞  She kept her voice even, not looking to try to argue.

Maybe she should’ve worn those awful Peggy clothes so many of them wore. But she had some fucking pride and she was going to wear her nice clothing. That’s what you did when you were trying to make a good impression with family, after all, wasn’t it?

John nodded, letting out a soft breath and bringing the baby back close to his chest. He yawned, laughing a little, a real smile.

“Maybe I’m the one with a fever, he’s been fussing non stop- Actually, no. No, that’s a lie. I’ve been fussing him nonstop. I’m just- I can’t sleep when he’s sleeping because I’m worried something will happen to him, and I can’t sleep when he’s awake because I need to look after him.”

She smiles sympathetically, seeing his plight, and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder, “You’re trying so hard, and that’s commendable. More dads need to be like that”

Her own father comes to mind, then, but she keeps that to herself.

“If you ever want any help looking after him, I’m available.” she offers.

          ‘i guess i have an instinct for it.’ giving a little smile, she rubbed her hand along the BABY’S back, swaying gently. she raised an eyebrow at his yawn. ‘i think it may be time for both of you to go to bed.’

It had been a joke, that’s all. A coping mechanism developed out of years of sticky situations and less than pleasant people. Alex could break the ice with the best of them, go fishing even –– unfortunately sometimes that fishing excursion got a bite. In the form of John Seed turning his sense of humor around on him and making what sounded like a truly awful, awful sort of demand. How it could go from casual teasing about being flayed as a precursor to a dinner date to an actual dinner with the Baptist was beyond him. Nonetheless he can’t help but squint up at him with a look of disbelief.

“You’re kidding.” Alex is trying to call his bluff. Days spent doing nothing more than listening to the man talk had given him some insight into the Baptist, but very little else than that. His eyes narrow some before he draws back and shakes his head, “You’re not kidding.” This is said in disbelief, pure shock leaving him numb to the whole situation. If life were fair that numbness would carry over into when the atonement began. “No.” He says, digging his heels in on this particular demand.

“No.” A repeated denial, because he wouldn’t do it. Couldn’t.

"Would you like to meet him?" John asked Nick in hushed tones, terrified of waking the small baby boy in his arms and him having another melt down, "He's sleeping at the moment, I don't think he'll even notice if you want to hold him."

"Poor little dude. Must be tired." Nick was nothing but gentle as he took the baby from John's arms, beaming as he cradled the ( thankfully ) still sleeping baby in his arms. John more or less forgotten for the little guy.

"Yeah? Wore yourself out, huh?" The baby barely stirred as Nick whispered. "Fair 'nough. Must be hard, being so little and cute. Gosh, you're just an angel. How can your dad deal with you being this cute? Think he'd mind if I borrowed you for a bit?"

 @thethirdherald Jacob is pulling up to the Ranch in his pickup truck. Three whitetails....(deer, actual deer, not people) in the back of the truck. One has a darker fur, two are natural beige. One has a small rack, the other two have a decent size rack.  He is barking at some of John’s faithful to come over to help. “I’ve field dressed ‘em already.” Fed the hearts to Judge. His personal wolf in the back of his truck, waiting on the command to come out. “Ill skin them shortly.”  After getting that taken care of he stops to have a smoke before he goes in. “Looks like snow,” he tells Judge, rubbing his head with a heavy hand. The wolf makes a throaty sound and bumps his head against Jacobs side. “Should’ve checked the forecast before we came down...” but he didn’t, and he will have to live with the consequences.  Which probably include crashing at Johns place.  Before he goes to find his brother or ask for his presence to be announced to him, he goes to take a walk around the property, whistling his command at Judge to follow. The wolf happily leaps from the back of the truck to follow. Jacob checks on Affirmation in the hanger.  He’s inexplicably happy that his brother can enjoy a hobby like this. God knows it was impossible to do as a kid and probably not possible to follow the dream of becoming an actual pilot as obvious but John’s lawyer career path. He runs his hand across the sleek black frame of the plane. Bet John’s a terror in this thing, he thinks. Will have to try him out one day with Pack Hunter.  Next, he moves from the Hanger to climb up to one of the balconies from the outside. He is surveying the property from this angle. Looking for sniper nests that could be present in the future, looking for any changes made that could put John at a disadvantage, tactically, his mind moves to secure the location for his brother.  Finally, he slides down the ladder and gives a few quick orders to Judge before going inside to find his baby brother.
