RP: Sunday dinner
Who: Savannah, Marty, Robert, Mike, Jenna, Dom, Sean, Troy, kids and dogs
Where: Robert's former house
When: Sunday, December 30, 2012
Summary: It's a strange dinner

The last time that they had met without Sam and G for dinner, it had been back at the ranch. It was May and they needed to celebrate a birthday. Before then, Sean was still trying to figure out things with Troy. In short, it was a rare occurrence and it was not something that Savannah wanted to get used to, even thought she knew they'd have to.

She tried to make the good food (especially after what she'd heard about cooking), picking everyone's favorites. Still despite everything, the atmosphere was very different.

"I know, but this time, we'll just have to rescue their invincible asses. It's how life goes in this business." Robert patted Sean's back as they walked. "You know I was in Avignano. We were support team to a lot of SEALs/CIA missions. These guys were huge, made of steal, you know like your father, but we went in and got them out on occasion, because it's a team effort. This is the same."

Robert chuckled. "She already does, but this is different for her too. She learned with G just as much as you and unlike you, she's been trying to be G from the start. She talks about food and babies, but you can see it in her eyes," he said turning serious. "It's not just determination, but also ruthlessness. She will push you, possibly more than they did, because we all knew you didn't want to be this person, your dad knew and in a way he wanted to shield you. She wants G back and I don't think she'll be as nice as Sam. Sam barks, G bites, and she's just like him."

He shrugged. "Your dad tried to protect you in his own way, which means training you with the people he trusted. There's nothing wrong with that. You have the training, Sean. Believe in that."

"Do they let you in the SEALs if you aren't built like a tank like Dad?" Sean asked, laughing. "I get the whole teamwork thing, though. It's just...it's different when it's your dad. Dads are supposed to be invincible. Step-dads and older siblings, too." He knew better than to think Robert would talk. But, he left the opening just in case.

"She'd be scary if I didn't love her so much." He huffed softly. "She won't be the only one pushing, though. I just got my dad back, really back, in a way I didn't get to have him growing up. I'm not ready to give him up, just yet. I just..." Sean sighed. "I don't know. I don't think I have his bark, let alone anyone's bite, I guess. I'll be fine. I think I'm just having a moment."

"They let you try. I doubt you make it through," he said, chuckling, but then he stared at Sean with a serious expression in his face. "You watch enough servicemen died, you watch your mother die, and you know that no one is invincible. G isn't either. I trust in their training and how well they work with each other, and I hope that's enough for where they are."

Robert snorted. "She's scary regardless." And from what Sean was saying, Robert would have to keep an eye on these two, because there was such a thing like training too hard. He'd have to speak with Deeks as well, although husbands made for lousy COs.

He squeezed Sean's shoulders. "No one is giving up on them, but that doesn't mean that we turn into them. We do things our way and we find them." Closing up the distance, he hugged Sean, not letting go this time. "It's okay not to be fine. There's so much you're feeling. Slowly you'll learn to fuel all of that in your training instead of your music. We've all been gone through that and until you learn, you can talk to me." He pulled back a little, hands still on Sean's arms. "It's okay to be afraid for your dad, even when he is Sam, okay?"

Sean was out of words and he just hugged Robert back tightly, both for himself and Robert because it was hard enough having his dad missing; he couldn't imagine watching a parents die. And all the rest...well, it was what he needed to hear, even if the thought of putting all this emotion into training instead of his music felt like a little part of himself dying. But, if that was what it took to get Dad and G back, then that was what it took. When Robert pulled back, he nodded. "Okay. Thanks, Robert."
