RP: Wake for John and Savannah
Who: Everyone at the base
Where: 114 Sterling Drive
When: November 3, 2012
Summary: Brian does his best to send off two people everyone loved.

The email about housing had given him the idea. Brian had asked Derek to leave the extra couch set in his old house. A dining set from Deeks was brought over as well as extra chairs from Nell's. A chair was being used to set up the computer with the light program. The lights had been brought over from the lounge and the dining room had been turned into a club. Brian didn't know if people would use it, didn't care, but there should have been music and lights. John and Savannah hadn't been musicians, but they had contributed just as much to the club, in all of its versions.

The sitting room had been turned into a fairy land. Brian hadn't had much time, only a day, so he'd resorted to fabric and wall decorations used for nurseries. There wasn't as much pink as he'd have used for Savannah alone, but there was the Magic castle and princes and princesses spread all around. The food and drinks were on the table. Brian hadn't bothered asking people for things, but had ordered from different places creating the weirdest combination of foods, but he'd tried to hit everything either Savannah or John liked (not that John was picky, but then there were things that Brian had enjoyed watching John eat).

With everything set up, Brian could finally sit down on the steps staring his own private party. If he were lucky, his liver would give out before he could sober up.

"I know, baby. It's ... it's the way our lives are." He remembered the angry boy when Burke had died, the way Sean had condemned him for his lack of emotions, and now Sean was reacting like a pro. It made Sam proud and sad at the same time.

"It's not a lesson I wanted you to learn." He sighed, because he really wanted to protect his children, but couldn't. "If you need anything. I know you have Bolton. He loves you." The crazy kid with no common sense hadn't been Sam's first choice, but they were proving him wrong. "I still want both of you to come to dinner tomorrow. It's... important for everyone."

"Yeah, I know. Still sucks, you know." But, after the last year and a half, it was either learn to deal or go crazy, Sean supposed. "And you're getting a free pass on the 'baby' only because it's today."

Sean's eyes tracked to where Troy stood talking to Nell automatically. "He does. And, I know," he turned back to smile a little at his dad. "You're still here if I need you, regardless. I guess, if nothing else, Savannah did get her wish, at least. And, of course we'll be at dinner. What do you need us to bring? How bad is G?"

He wasn't going to pretend that he didn't know G would be as devastated as Marty. And they'd all be there for Marty. Savannah would also want them to take care of G, even if Sean wouldn't have tried on his own anyway."

Sam chuckled. "It's okay. I'm smart; I know when to sneak in the 'baby' so you can't complain too much. It usually goes with the hugs." it usually took something major for either reaction.

He smiled, because he couldn't not be happy for Sean despite everything. "Always here and what wish?" he asked with a frown. "I asked Jenna to take over the cooking for a while. You can ask her what she needs." He looked to where G was standing, talking to no one. "It's the worst I've seen since meeting him. He'll need time. People to remind him that there are others here ha care. Savannah- they were so different and so similar at the same time. he wouldn't have let so many people in if it weren't for her."

Turning to the other side, he eyed Kinney again. "G isn't the only one that worries me. Maybe you can talk to your friends and someone can talk to Kinney. I don't even know who he considers close, other than John."

"Ah, and I'm on to you, now." Sean smiled and shook his head. It wasn't quite the father-son relationship he'd wanted as a kid, but, in a way, this was better. He actually knew his father.

"Us. She always admitted to trying too hard sometimes, but it was because she wanted you and I to get where we are. She wanted us to keep our family together...and then she expanded it." Nodding, he followed his dad's look. "I'll talk to Jen before we go. Still have to give her her birthday gift. Savannah would kick my ass if I didn't. We'll take care of him, Dad. He might not see it, but he's got a lot of family now. He'd have had some of us even without her. We're a package deal with you."

Brian was another matter. Sean hadn't had a chance to talk to the man yet, but he fully intended to make sure Brian realized he was one of them, too. Not just because of John. "No one was as close as John. But, we'll be there for him. All of us. We look out for our own, too."

"It's no actually a secret when I'm divulging my strategy," he said, chuckling. "I can be more subtle than that. I've even been known to keep a secret or two. Hard to believe, I know."

He smiled. "And how many fights did her eagerness cause? Maybe a few that we might not have had otherwise. Not that I'd take them back. She was G's family before you two even showed up, and then... we were all family." He wished it were that simple with G. "I know, Sean. I'm not sure that he wants that right now. You keep people away, you keep them safe, this way nothing can happen to them. I've spent twenty years doing just that. As long as you were with your mom, you were safe, and I didn't look for anyone else, no one to care about, no one whose death would affect you. I don't know how to tell him to let people in, when I've done the same for so long."

So many deaths, but none had touched the entire groups like these two, not even all those losses back last November, and really he was starting to hate this month as much as G hated May. "Your sister seems to agree with you. She wanted to speak with him. I don't care who does what as long as he has a support system. I'd offer, but we know how well that would go."

"You keep secrets? I can't believe that!" Laughing softly, he bumped his shoulder against his dad's.

"And how many of those fights were things we needed to get out and start moving on from?" Sean countered with a smirk. reaching out, he put a hand companionably on his dad's shoulder. "I'd be surprised if he did want it. But, he needs it. And you don't tell him. Telling him won't do a thing. You let us show him. We have family dinner tomorrow. Someone stops in at lunch just to bring him food and then leave him to eat in peace. You let me grab him a beer and take it over now, since everyone else seems afraid to approach him," he added with a small smile.

One eyebrow rose and he stared at his dad for a moment. "Jen is going to try?" Sean wasn't sure that would be any better than Dad trying. Maybe after he took G a beer, he should hunt up Troy and Nell and make some plans of their own sooner, rather than later. "I don't know how successful Jen will be. But, he has us, Dad. We might have to do a lot of reminding, like with G -- and how much did you never think we'd ever be comparing those two? -- but, we'll do what we can. He's not alone, even if he thinks he is."

They just had to prove it. There was going to be a lot of work to do in the next few weeks and months to take care of Brian and G and Marty and Derek.

And themselves.
