Re: Robert and Sean
"Ah yes, it's the circle of Savannah, a variation on the circle of life," he said, chuckling. "And that's because SEALs are crazy sons of bitches and if you mess with them, then you deserve whatever you get."
Robert listened to everything, while watching Liam. He wasn't fussing yet, so they had some time before he'd have to be hooked up to the pump. He let Sean hold him, while he answered. "I'm pretty sure that we all know how you feel about your dad. I was the one home when he left on missions with Savannah, through people dying. I might not have considered you family like Savannah does, but I was keeping my eyes open. You're also not very restrained with your emotions," he said, laughing.
"Having said that, you have no problems on the Nick front. I'm pretty sure that anyone in there and here would be more than happy to to shoot him, at least after some painful one on one time with him." He sighed. "Look, Sean, I know that I can tell how you're supposed to feel, but it's not going to change what you actually feel, but I've seen your dad look at you and Jenna. He adores you, and no one is going to come between you two, especially not Nick.
"Now, onto to Troy. You're not interested, but you're comfortable enough with each other to kiss in front of everyone," he said. "What happens if Troy doesn't run? What if you're misreading the situation and he might be interested? What if he meets your dad and says sure, let's have the dinner with your family. How far are you going to let this go? Far enough that feelings get hurt? This isn't a guy you'll never see. If we were home, I'd say do it, fuck him if that's what you want, and then tell him to fuck off when you're done, but this is someone you're close to. Now, pissy mood or not, I think your dad would do anything you ask him, especially if it's about pulling someone's leg. I mean seriously have you heard him and G go at it? They'd back you up in a heartbeat, but think about you and Troy before you ask him, because you might end up losing a friend in the process and in this place, you can't really waste them."
