To Lawson
Wendell was painting the porch. The afternoon had been perfect for it and he'd set up little cones at the front door and a sign asking for people to go through the back door. No one really ever used the front door anyway, so the rerouted foot traffic hadn't been a lot.

Currently, he was finishing the tiny details of the railing, using a small brush to dab the fresh white paint into the crevices. He had smudges of white paint on his face and every time he wiped his brow, he got more paint on himself. But the job was nearly done and he'd enjoyed doing it.

Lawson had been playing outside with Julian. Jeremiah was over at Ever and Emmy's, playing with Kieran, and somehow Lawson had ended up outside with the other little boy in tow. They'd ended up playing with toy cars and my little ponies, which was an odd combination, but Lawson had no problem indulging little Julian's choice of toys.

It wasn't long before Julian spotted Wendell and came over, holding a purple pony in one hand and a black car in the other.

"Whatchoo doing the porch?" he asked curiously.

Lawson came up behind him and knelt down to dust the boy's pants off before she turned her gaze over to Wendell and arched a brow with a smile.

"Hi Wendell," she greeted, "Were you really bored or were you just feeling crafty today?"

"It's almost impossible to get bored here, as I'm sure you've found. I've been meaning to do this for awhile now. Ever since I got back, actually." And that had been a good seven years ago.

He looked down at Julian and showed him the paintbrush. It was just his size, though he didn't expect the little one to do the precision work. "I'm painting over all of the old stains on the porch so that it looks new again." There was actually a blood stain from when Hunter had been kidnapped long ago and no matter how much Wendell had scrubbed, it wouldn't come out. It was gone now, much to his satisfaction.

	"Well it's possible that his mother was very strongly psychic," Lawson offered. "And maybe she passed it on to Kieran." Lawson reached over to try and wipe some paint off of Wendell's cheek, and a warm laugh escaped her. She found it adorable how much Julian and Miah adored him and Hunter. "Julie calls you Daddy, you know. And Hunter Papa, it's adorable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then you should do it," Lawson said as she moved to sit down in the grass. She spread out her white peasant skirt. "I wonder if there's a magical way to include both yours and Hunter's genes somehow." Obviously something like that would normally be absolutely impossible and there would be no way to make it happen, but they weren't normal. And neither was she. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've never really considered doing it before, but the moment you started talking, it struck me that I'd really love to," Lawson said honestly as she swept a hand through her hair. She tugged her lower lip in between her teeth and smiled a little bit. "It really doesn't matter if they're okay with it, what matters is that I'm okay with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
