[ a grin spreads across her face at that, even though it's really not a funny statement. ]
I really don't fucking care if you swear in front of the baby, you asshole.
[ but it hurts her to hear that he's had a shitty time of it. she kind of figured he would. even kept her eye on the obituaries for a year or so after raleigh up and disappeared. just in case. she never told anyone else, didn't want to make them worry, but after that hospital visit she was terrified he would commit suicide or just waste away without even realizing it.
alison looks down at her hands. maybe it's the exhaustion, maybe it's the fact that everything is finally over, maybe it's grief and relief all mixed up together, but she thinks she might start tearing up if she's not careful. she reaches over to grab raleigh's hand and give him a small smile. ]
[Well he cares about swearing in front of the baby, because this kid has Yancy's name and he feels like it's uncle, blood relation or not, and he wants to do right by the kid.]
Yeah. [Raleigh squeezes her hand back. He's glad he's back too. He's thankful that Pentecost wanted him bad enough for this mission that he went to the wall and pulled him off of it. Because now it's all over and he's Mako and whatever they turn into, they could just be friends for the rest of his life and he'd be perfectly content, and he's starting to feel like he's actually alive again.]
[ alison looks down for a moment, then stands up so she can move from her chair to the edge of his bed. careful of where yancy's sitting, she wraps her arms around raleigh in a tight hug. as she hold onto him, she tries not to think about the last time she was able to hug him. ]
[Raleigh hugs her back as best and as tight as he can with a baby in his lap, trying to make up for five years of silence and whatever you want to call the mess that he was the last time he saw her.]
Well, [ she draws out the word as she pulls back from the hug and settles on the edge of his bed. ] Tendo and I got married. It was a tiny service, but it was nice.
And then we had this rug rat about a year ago. [ she brushes a bit of baby yancy's dark hair away from his forehead. ] Outside of that, it's just been a lot of work.
