Re: Savannah/John
"I don't know. He might be a little upset I didn't tell him first. But, I didn't have any warning myself," John added, laughing. He'd have to find Derek and tell him before this party was over. He'd have told him the day before, but Nell had claimed his uncle for the whole day and it wasn't like John and Brian got up much before they had to get things together for the party now. "But, no, he wouldn't care about a party."
Smiling innocently, John shrugged. "But you won't make it painful for Brian because you know I won't let you."
He started to say something about the little brother part, but found himself blinking in surprise when Savannah did a near perfect imitation of one of Brian's tamer anti-marriage rants. Staring was all he could do for a moment before he burst out laughing again and reached over to hug her. "Heard that one a few times?" he teased as he let go. "Although, I do need to start thinking about his birthday. If it doesn't get screwed up again. Don't seem to have much luck making plans for that one," he huffed softly. "We are happy, though, and it's good. Really good. Better than I thought it would be a few months ago. I finally figured out that just being there with him thing you were trying to tell me about."
