RP: Robert's Birthday
Who: Savannah, Marty, Sam, G, Robert, Mike, Jenna, Dom, and Sean
Where: Robert and Mike's
When: February 19, 2012
Summary: It's another Sunday, another birthday and another family dinner

Dinner was a much quieter affair than usual, not that Savannah and Marty weren't doing their best to keep conversation going with Dom's help, but they needed to be quiet for Liam, and with Mike's blindness, they didn't want to assault his other senses. Also there was something going on with Sam and G, but Savannah didn't have to ask what the problem was there.

Liam woke up once during it, but Savannah let Robert enjoy dinner and prepared the formula for him and changed his diaper. All in all they made it through dinner without any problems, and then they were hanging around for cake and coffee (for those who could drink it) and then leave Robert for some peace and quiet.

There were certain balancing act that came with being lead G hated and almost all of them had to do with the politics involved in keeping a team like this together. The incident Thursday night was one such. Renko had been injured. Sam was pissed off. G didn't have the luxury of being pissed off, even if he'd like to be.

And he wasn't going to let Green's instability or Spencer's attitude cast a shadow over his brother's birthday.

Moving across the room from where he'd initially been standing watching the family, G went over to sit with his brother. The smile he gave Rob was tired, but a smile. "Happy Birthday, Little Brother. You make a wish before blowing out the candles?"

As he'd told Mike months ago, Robert didn't consider this his family, but G's, and yet, here they all were, celebrating his birthday, helping him in different ways. He didn't know what to make of it. He did know that he wanted to have a relationship with his brother, so this part was easier to accept.

Robert smiled back. "Why do you look like I do? I have a newborn with an increased metabolism, what's your excuse?" he asked, after making sure that people were talking to each other and not paying attention to them.

"I think I'll skip the wish just in case I jinx it," he said, chuckling. "And thank you."

"It's your imagination," G returned. He was not going to spend his time with his brother rehashing all that was wrong. Definitely not on his birthday. "Sleep deprivation is making you see things."

Chuckling, his smile warmed a bit more. "Good call. I just don't tell them I'm not wishing for anything. Well, Sam. I told Savannah she can celebrate my birthday May Seventeenth. So, we'll see what I can get away with then, I suppose. But, today is yours. So, if there's a wish your big brother can fulfill, I'm all ears."

"Of course," he said, chuckling. "You're a lousy liar. Too much time with Savannah, but I'll let it go. You know where you can find me if you need to. I am not going anywhere." Especially now with Liam still in the incubator and Mike unable to see.

"Your secret is safe with me." He rolled his eyes. "I can't believe you'd pick that date. May needs to be avoided. Bad things happen in May; you should know that." Robert looked at Mike and then toward his bedroom before looking back at G. "What I want is nothing you can fulfill, but thanks for the offer." He knew better than to say more aloud. Mike would hear no matter how softly he spoke. "Liam passed the four pound mark. I'm going to start bottle feeding him and we'll see. For now, I told the doc that she doesn't need to come around anymore. If she's needed, I'll call her."

"Just a man of my word. Someone asked me not to wear as many masks with him." G smirked for a moment before letting the teasing fade to more serious expression. "I know. Thank you. Another time. It's your birthday, shouldn't be about me."

The smirk returned though as he cast his brother a sly look. "Hey, you picked it. I clearly recall you saying we could celebrate on the day you got a brother." Following his brother's gaze, G felt his temper flare again when his eyes fell on Renko. But, he shoved it aside to refocus on his brother. "I'll echo you. You know how to find me if you need me. April give you any argument about that?"

Robert nodded. "All right, but tomorrow is not my birthday and if you still need to talk, the offer is an open ended one, although we might have to go somewhere if you don't want people to overhear." Not that walking around would help with Mike's hearing.

He snorted. "I didn't think you'd be stubborn enough not to tell them the truth. I didn't know you back then. I wouldn't make the same suggestion now." Robert shrugged. "Didn't give her much of a choice. I meet her at the door and told her that we were doing fine. That was Friday and she hasn't been around on the weekend. If she shows up on Monday, I'll let you know, but unlike Savannah, she doesn't have a key and she doesn't know how to pick a lock, but maybe we should go for a ride, me and you... and Liam, so under the speed limit. Find the time, and we'll go."

This weekend was turning out to be a very strange one. Friday dinner with Deeks and Savannah had gone better than she'd expected. With everything that had happened the day before, there was very next to no talk of babies which made talking a lot easier.

Club night on the other hand had been strange. It was a theme that her father should have loved, and yet it had been clear he'd not enjoyed it and dinner tonight was quiet for a lot more reasons than just her lack of social skills.

After dinner, Jenna walked up to her father and sat down next to him. "Hey, dad." she said.

Sam was tired thanks to a six hour run and another few hours with the punching bag, all after a night at the club, but at least the fatigue took some of the edge off and he wasn't likely to snap at people, or at least some people. Jenna fell into the last category.

He looked at her and attempted a smile. "Hey," he answered. "Everything good?"

Jenna nodded at the question. "It is," she said and today she felt more at ease with herself than she had in a while. Days without talking babies or things related to babies did that to her. "How about you? Or should I not bother to ask?" she said because it was fairly clear that he was angry.

"That's good," he answered. There wasn't much more to say about that. Despite Renko's condition, he cared about his daughter's health, but she was doing fine apparently, so no need to ask more.

"I'm good," he answered. "Shit happens, we deal. It's normal."

Jenna nodded, because this, the urge not to talk, she could completely relate to. It was how she felt most time anyone brought up babies or the pregnancy or anything remotely connected to it, and she was sure her father was worse right now.

"So what did you think of the Director's changes to the meetings?" she said instead, changing the topic. He didn't want to talk about what had happened, she could bring up other topics.

Robert smiled when he saw Sean sit down next to him. Here was another reminder that might he was wrong and this was more than G's family. Of all of them, Sean was probably the one who relied the least on that connection.

"Hey, partner. Do you miss me?" he asked. "When I come back, you'll be almost as good as me," he teased. "So how much better is life outside of Dad's house? You don't come crashing here anymore."

"Have you been gone?" Sean asked with exaggerated surprise. "Wow, man, I didn't even notice. Sorry." Grinning, he bumped Robert's shoulde rlightly with his own.

"Well, I have parties at my house that include Truth or Dare and college kids acting like college kids. It's kind of nice." He chuckled. "Besides, I think you've got a full house these days. Which reminds me..." Reaching into his vest pocket, he took out a pair of CDs and handed them to Robert.

"I know it's your birthday and not Liam's but I finally got this finished and wanted to give them to you before he was too old to care. I've been doing a lot of research into the therapeutic applications of music since creating my cover and I thought you might appreciate the results. The first CD is full of lullabies written with chords and melodies designed to promote calm and healing. The second is all instrumentals based on the principles of classical music said to aid in developing higher intellect in children. Whether it really helps or not?" He shrugged. "And I don't know how it'll affect Renko, although there's nothing jarring or harsh in the arrangements. But, they can't hurt."

Robert laughed. "Sure, man, just hide your sadness behind a joke. I know how much you miss me... Oh wait, maybe you don't. Too busy kissing basketball players with a pretty smile. Was that truth or dare too? Or did you fall on his lips? How did that work? Because with my full house, I might have forgotten how these things go. I think you should share the details with your partner." He leaned closer. "I'll share a secret. I miss college, too."

He took the CDs, surprised by the thought. "I'd say you didn't have to, but I know you enjoy it and I'm sure so will we, especially if it means that I will sleep longer." He patted Sean's legs. "Thanks, man, I appreciate it." He paused for a moment and then turned his head to look at Sean. "I know Savannah is always going on about this crazy family, but I can't say I've always bought it, but if you, any of you, need anything, I might not be as present as before, but I'm still here if you want to talk or crash or anything."

Sean snorted. "With your full house you don't have time to think of these things." Still, Sean thought he probably got on better with Robert than any of the others he'd inherited in this insane family his dad's relationship with G had created. "The first time was totally truth or dare. The second? I guess that whole not being able to back down thing of Dad's didn't skip a generation." He chuckled. "Then you should come to the next college party if you think you can keep up with us."

Grinning, he nodded. "You're welcome. And you're right, I do enjoy it. Besides, I figured with Savannah running things, the practical stuff was well in hand. So, I could do the less practical."

When Robert went on, Sean smiled. "I know you are. Same goes here, you know. I might be spending a lot more time with Troy and the girls. But, this is family. And, you're my partner. Dad's taught me well on that score," he added with a chuckle before stopping to consider things. "I might take you up on that offer, though. Not today. It's your birthday. But, maybe tomorrow?"

"That's the problem with the college party, I don't have time to remember how it's done," he said, chuckling. "Although I can see if I can stay awake one of these night, maybe for an hour or two. I'm sure Savannah will volunteer to help, before I even ask." He snorted. "Totally truth or dare, good excuse, but you'll be able to use it less and less the more it happens."

Robert smiled. "She does, and you can be as artistic as you like."

Was becoming a father a synonym with getting old? Because this conversation was making him feel ancient, not just because he felt miles away from Sean's world, but because he was actually concerned for Sean. "Is everything all right? Come on, you can see your... what? Cousin? I can't keep track, and you can tell me what's going on."

Sam watched Sean disappear with Robert and he kept an eye open for his return. Not that the house was big enough that he could miss Sean, but it was habit. When Sean reappeared without Robert, Sam called his name and gestured to come over.

"Sit." Jenna had said to ask Sean and there might be ways to be subtle, but Sam wasn't in the mood for subtle, not when his family was involved. "One, how much time are you spending with Vance? Two, have you noticed any signs of instability on his part? Because I've heard Bolton call him 'Mr. V.' and he survived, so I'm wondering if Vance has been compromised. Three, you and Bolton been together long or is this one of those things I'm not supposed to ask? And if I can ask, should I give him the speech while cleaning my gun? Dom passed it. We can always see what he does."

When he said he'd think about things, Sean had thought he'd have more than thirty seconds to consider his options. However, that was how long it took for him to reenter the living room and be shanghaied by his dad.

"Sure, Dad. I'd love to talk. Why don't we sit down?" he teased as he sat next to his dad. He hoped the fact he was smiling when he said it would register with his dad, who had been in a bad mood for the little Sean had seen him that weekend.

Still, he couldn't help busting up at the initial line of questioning. "You really think the director should hurt Troy for giving him a nickname? Seriously? But, to answer your question, Vance seems perfectly stable and I spend a fair amount of time with him. We all do. Hard not to when we're all at the office on breaks."

The last bit had him groaning again. Although, since he'd just said no matter what he chose to do about the prank, he had to come clean to Dad and Jen, he made himself answer honestly. "No, you can ask. But, we're not together at all, let alone long." Although, the cleaning the gun trick might still be warranted. "I'll let you know if you need to clean your gun with him any time in the future, though."

Sam looked at Sean for a few moments without saying a word, not that he didn't know that Sean was teasing, but that didn't mean he couldn't tease back. In his own way. "Didn't I say that? I said 'sit'. One word, three letters, a lot less time than the mouthful you just said."

He raised an eyebrow. "And you think he shouldn't. Mr. V? He's the Director, not some A Team replacement. So you guys invade his office on a regular basis and you're all breathing. Guess I'll have to speak to Morgan about a psych evaluation for Vance." Man, he really needed to share this with G. Even in his mood, this was just funny, even if Sean didn't get it.

"Okay, not together, not long, just fucking. I guess it could be worse. It could have been a girl and we could be preparing for the fifth kid," he said, with a chuckle. "I clean my gun regularly. It's not hard to do it around him while asking him about you." He might do it anyway just to see Bolton's face, maybe while sitting next to G. They could bounce off comments that way.

The moment of silence was a bit unnerving considering his dad's mood. But, when he finally spoke, Sean snorted and rolled his eyes. "I'm your son. Not G's dog."

Mimicking his dad, he raised an eyebrow, too. "I'm sure troy could have come up with something worse if you'd prefer. If it makes you feel better, Nell cringes every time he does it. And we are not invading his office. We're making sure the workaholics on this ranch remember to eat. Sometimes, that includes Vance. Is there something wrong in having lunch with the boss if he doesn't mind?"

Sean sighed. "No, not fucking either. Not together, not fucking, not anything. Friends. That's it." Although, Sean really wanted to throttle his supposed friend right about then for having put him in this position because he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Sean might not hide his emotions much, but he didn't actually talk about a lot of things to most people, either. Certainly not something that touched on his personal relationship with his dad. "No need to ask him about me, either."

"I know," Sam answered. "I don't talk to G's dog; he's a dog. I don't like pets." He and Harley lived with each other ignoring the other except when G had been sick and Sam needed to take care of him. Otherwise, Sam was happy to ignored the dog.

"I'm sure the Director could have used him for target practice," he answered. "Now, Nell has some sense." He was going to say more about her and NCIS, but then Sean kept going, and he was sure that he looked like an idiot. "You go to his house, on breaks, and bring food so he remembers to eat? There's so much wrong with that, that I don't know where to start." Things were really strange in this dimension. "And then you wonder why I miss terrorists. Those are predicable."

Despite the discussion about Vance, Sam was more interested in Sean and Bolton and whatever was going on. "Friends... okay. Let your sister know." He cupped the back of Sean's neck and squeezed gently. "You know that if it's more, I wouldn't mind, right? As long as you aren't sneaking around or putting yourselves in danger, it's okay with me, and regardless what people might think, I wouldn't shoot him if it was something." He smirked. "I might scare him a little, though."

Sam got up. He'd been in a sour mood since the accident, and G had taken the brunt of it. That wasn't unusual per se. Too many years as partners meant that they were the only ones that get to see the moods and the weaknesses, but it was different when those moods go in bed with you.

"G, wait up." He got closer, and he would never admit that he was glad that Renko couldn't see them, but he was as he leaned down and kissed him lover, hand on G's hip to maintain the connection ever after their lips parted. "We good?"

Deeks had pulled G aside for a quick conversation about training his power when G left his brother. But, the other man let G go rather quickly after assessing his mood. G was deciding how much longer he was going to stay when Sam intercepted him.

His own hand resting on Sam's arm, G pretended to think. But, when he finally spoke, he was nodding and smirking. "I guess so."

"You guess? Really? That's the best come back you have. You're slipping, man," he said, smiling.

He stared at his lover for a moment. It seemed that his discussions with Sean often said more about him and G than he meant. "Thanks for... letting me irrational for a few days. I'll be there tomorrow, and I'll be thinking straight." He grinned. "We also have to plan in case Sean decides that payback is necessary."

"Well, I might need more later to refine the guesswork," G returned with an even deeper smirk. "Unless you're ready to get out of here now."

Shaking his head minutely, he kept his eyes on Sam's. "It was your turn. Don't worry about it." G raised an eyebrow. "Payback? So, there was more to that little display last night than could be seen across the room? Or something else?"

He stopped and shook his head again. "Better idea, tell me when we get home."
