Ian knew just how to get her into Little headspace. How to make her feel secure enough to regress further.
Jack could make her laugh and smile. He was fun. But he also knew how to enforce boundaries.
“Hmm, Maggie isn’t sounding like a good girl to me,” he said. “And now she’s teasing one of her Daddies. I think that means she’s been a bit naughty.” He nodded to Ian, who picked her up and threw her toward Jack who caught her.
She squealed. “No, Daddy Jokes! No!”
Daddy Jokes.
That was seriously cute.
Jack dropped her down so she had her legs around his waist. “Daddy Jokes?”
“You don’t like it?” she asked. “It’s like Jack. But Jokes because you’re always so funny.”
“Like it.” Jack shook his head. “No. Actually, baby girl, I love it.” He kissed her lightly and she hugged him tight.
Ian nodded at him and the two of them left them alone, moving into the kitchen. Ian grabbed him a beer and Jameson watched him finish making dinner.
“Everything okay at the hospital?” Ian asked him.
“Yes.”
Ian shot him a knowing look.
“Just a really sick patient.”
“You know we’re here if you need to talk, yeah?” Ian said.
Jameson nodded, feeling that tightness in his chest easing. This was what he’d missed. Leaning on others. Having them turn to him if they needed something. That feeling of family.
He’d never have had this with Elizabeth. He realized that now. She wouldn’t have understood why he needed Ian and Jack.
“I let Jack look into Elizabeth’s life.”
“What? Really?” Ian turned away from the stove. “Why now?”
He shrugged. “I never wanted any sort of revenge, but after seeing her in London, I just wanted some closure.”
“What did he find?”
“That she’s fucking miserable.”
Ian spat out the mouthful of beer he’d just taken. “Yeah?”
“Oh yeah. Her husband caught her cheating and started divorce proceedings. She gets nothing because there was a prenup. That’s why she was latching on to that guy we saw her with. He’s loaded. But apparently, he’s dumped her too. Oh, and she lost her job a while ago because she was accused of bullying. She’s on the bones of her ass.”
“Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.”
Jameson couldn’t agree more.
“I love this, you know,” he confessed quietly. “I missed it. Missed the two of you so much, and now we have Maggie. She completes us.”
“We missed you too, brother. This was always the way it was meant to be. The three of us and her. A family.”
Family.
