thewolfinsideJason sits at the table papers spread out over it. Gaby is underneath the table playing with a set of blocks, chattering away in baby talk. Every so often Jason says something to her while pushing at some of the blocks with his toes.

Date: 8 Aug 2005 16:49 (UTC)Shrugs, biting at her lower lip as she slumps down in her chair.
"It was like really cool and all. And then it was constant darting out and going there and...' She shrugs again. 'Nothing major. Not like he has to constantly deal with a child. He got me safe. All I can ask."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:10 (UTC)"He's twenty three, you're sixteen. He just got out of a very unhealthy situation, so did you. He's trying not to make things worse.
Then there's the whole thing where most people would crucify him for even thinking about touching you."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:17 (UTC)"I know I'm too young for him, Jason. I'm apparently delusional, not stupid.' Tones low, even, monotone. 'Trust me. I know just how bad his life sucked. I... He let me look. I know.'
Rising, shaking her head.
"I was wrong. I am stupid. Thank you for reminding me of that Jason, of reminding me just who and what I am.' Sounding genuinely thankful, moving over to kiss his cheek. "For a bit? I deluded myself into thinking I could have more. I know better."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:23 (UTC)"You can have more, you just have to fight for it. He's going to fight you every inch of the way, thinking you deserve better than some broken toy."
Speaking quietly, his voice calm so he doesn't startle the child on the floor.
"Because that's what he thinks of himself, I did. Different masters, different ways of breaking us, but the end result is the same. He'll do everything he can to keep you safe and happy, but he'll never do the same for himself."
Kisses the top of her head and lets go.
"My advice? Take it slow, humor him for a while, be his friend. You're going to have to make him see he's worth it before anything else can happen."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:32 (UTC)She blinked. So calm. So centered. Love. Desire. Passion. Happiness. Thoughts of Gabriel, flashes of more than she wanted to know, but happy porn thoughts. Of true affection for her. The others. All of them.
So calming.
"Shouldn't I know what I deserve? And... He's a better man than I am. Well, you know what I mean. As obvious he's a guy and I'm not and...'
Sighing, shaking her head.
"He makes me feel safe. He makes me happy. Least when he isn't running from me, making me feel like a leper. I.. I don't think you're right, Jason. I wish you were. I'm just going to settle for friends. Because that's all he wants.'
Sliding to her feet, moving to the fridge to get more orange juice. Standing there against the counter, thankful for the space that Jason might not see the tears in her eyes.
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:36 (UTC)Moves over to the counter, keeping a careful eye on Gaby.
"Trust me, he wants more. If all he wanted was to be friends, he'd be here driving you insane instead of off playing in the woods."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:46 (UTC)"Yeah, right.' Making a face, eyes rolling toward the ceiling. "What's to want? I'm just me and he's....'
She makes a soft whimper, a strangled sound. "So damn dreamy. And boy I sound pathetic.'
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 17:59 (UTC)"Allow me a moment of vanity to say 'thank you'. And you'll have to ask him about the other."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:04 (UTC)"God, what does that say that I didn't even think, I mean, you are cute and you are just like him and ... Okay. Can I have the salt to go with my foot?'
Ducking her head, blushing all the way down her throat.
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:12 (UTC)"No, it's kinda cute, not to mention very satisfying, when people forget that technically, we're the same person."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:17 (UTC)She stops, pondering.
"It's what they say. It really is nurture over nature. Like Gaby. She has bad roots, really. But now she has Lil. And she has the pard. And even me. And her life, her future? Changed then. Because no matter the nature she started in? She has us.'
Grinning crookedly.
"And I wouldn't mind Jase being like you. Well, except the whole gay thing."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:23 (UTC)He's still got this... I hestitate to say innocence, but that's what it is."
Smiles at her, reaching over to pull her hair.
"And he's got a thing for short blonds."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:35 (UTC)"Innocence. Boy, wrong pair of this duo to be calling innocent.' Once more flushing, head bowed to hide from Jason, even as she bats at his hand, shaking her head to tousle her golden locks.
"I hope you're right. I really do."

no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:47 (UTC)Eyes roaming, not wanting to look at Jason given everything she'd said. And suddenly realizing there was no babbling brook of a baby under the table.
"Gaby?"
Slipping out of the kitchen, eyes darting this way and that. "Gabyabbybab... There you are.'
Snatching up the toddler, gathering her close.
"Nonono. Gabybaby. No wandering off. Unkie Jason would have to answer to Unkie Gabriel then and then? Then the puppy and kitty fight.' Taking in little baby tones, rubbing noses with the child even as she whimpers, preparing to cry.
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:55 (UTC)"It's going to take a bit of time to get used to her being here."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 18:58 (UTC)Shifts Gaby to one hip, bouncing her slightly. "You'll need to get baby gates and latches and all for the new house. Especially if you are going to get more than one story. Stairs and all."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 19:05 (UTC)"Already planned on that, got the lists over there and lots of printouts from a baby site."
He frowns when Gaby doesn't settle down, looking down at her.
"Turning into a Daddy's Girl already? Fine, fine, we'll take you into Gabe."

no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 19:19 (UTC)"ON that note I think I'll go shower and change. Sleeping on the sofa left me all knotted up."
no subject
Date: 8 Aug 2005 19:09 (UTC)Swooping in, kissing Jason on the lips hard as he took Gaby.
"Least my girl let me sleep in, didn't she?' Nuzzling her cheek, almost glaring at the two blondes to say something.
