Happy Birthday, Not really (Sammy)
Once they got back from the mission, Jason had been looking forward to a long nap, and maybe a cold brew or two for his birthday. No crazy drinking this year and no fuss made about his getting older; he just wanted to relax and maybe convince Sammy to have tea with him, rather than coffee.

His father's death changed all of that.

Gran called him the morning after he'd gotten home a few days ago to give him the news. Jason didn't know how he should feel; on the one hand, it was his father who had passed away. On the other hand, his father had dropped him off at Gran's house one night when he was three years old and he only heard from him on the rare Christmas or birthday. Jason was ashamed to admit that, short of his grandmother's photos of their family, he couldn't really call Carter Howard's face to mind.

And now, on his birthday, he was going to hear from his father ever again. He'd have to tell Jake.

He sat at the table in his quarters with the first bottle of beer in the first twelve-pack he'd purchased for his twenty-fifth birthday. He wasn't sure he could drink all of them, but he figured he'd give it the old college try, even if he'd never been to college.

	"The sky in my world is the same color as those eyes gorgeous eyes of yours, which is why I'm certain that you'll like tea, too, someday." Jason smiles. He takes another sip of his iced team, reaching out to take Sammy's hands. "Yes, we are incompatible beverage wise and you shoot the guns while I make 'em, but I love you anyway." he says.

	"Why do tea drinkers try to convert convert coffee drinkers?" She smiled back. He had good hands. She quite liked to feel them around hers. "Beverage incompatibility is a small thing. Love surely can let me overlook your tea drinking way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, as long as we can agree to disagree, I'd say love is doin' all right at this table." Jason says, playing with her hands. "Gran is lookin' forward to seein' you again. She hopes you've been eatin'." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If grandmothers all try to feed you, I think it might have been a good thing that mine both died decades before I was born." "I got a note about you from her, too. She hopes you're getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine. There was also mention of school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure Gran will more than make up for their absence by feedin' you three times over." Jason replies. "And I told her I was getin' fresh air and sunshine. My girlfriend won't let me stay in the lab all day and night anymore." he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not even if she has to pull out Wildberry Skittles flavored edible underwear..." she teased. "But...there was a mention of school. Have you thought anymore about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason nods. "I have. I want to do it, but I'm just not sure how it will affect my commitment to the team. I don't want to miss something I was supposed to do because I was studyin'." Jason says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't have to take a full load. There are online classes you can take that'll fit to your schedule. That's what Alice and I do. Aleks is working on another degree himself." Sammy squeezed his hands. "Try one class and see how it goes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll do that. I spend enough time on my computer as it is. Might as well make it a bit more productive." Jason says. He kisses her hands. "I'd like to leave for Gran's this weekend, for the holiday, if you're up for it." he suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good. I want to report to your grandma that you're taking every opportunity that comes your way. This weekend is good. I don't have anything scheduled. Just need to let my parents know where I'll be." She dampened her lips. "Do you want to stop and see your brother on the way?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason loks down at the table for a moment before looking back up to Sammy. "Yeah, I should. I need to tell him about Dad. I don't want him hearin' it any other way." Jason tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nodded. "I'll borrow Mom's car so we don't have to deal with commercial flights." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be excellent. You think she'll go for it?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2011-08-30 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I'm going to be very persuasive. There's no reason for her to worry. My control is excellent these days. It'll be fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you get the car and then we'll go. Make sure you bring a cute dress for two for all the dancin' we're gonna do." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2011-09-05 07:01 am UTC (link)
	"I'll see if I own such a thing as a cute dress." She was pretty sure she didn't, but she had skirts and tops. Maybe something suitable to blow a certain genius' brain out of his skull. "I'll want to go swimming again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2011-09-05 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Swimmin' is on the list, too. Whole pond to ourselves and no one to save you from the Mad Scientist. A fully-head Mad Scientist, Sammy. I don't like your chances at resistin' him. Gotta be honest with you. He's been workin' on his defenses and stuff. Your goose may be cooked, Agent Fury." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2011-09-05 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy airily waved a hand. "I've heard that before. This time the Mad Scientist has to make good. Roast that goose with apples and stuffing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason just smiles enigmatically at Sammy. "Little do you know, but you've already fallen into my trap, Agent Fury." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2011-09-06 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Is that what we're calling it?" She returned his smile with one of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)
