Who: Sunila, and JAKE!
Where: The hospital on the island.
When: Early morning on the day of his return.
Warnings: None. Happy reunion times plus some upset that Jake is now using a wheelchair.
Open: Possibly open later to other Sullys, Kytana, others close to Jake and Suni.
Note: Surprise inside.

Sunila was fully aware of her pregnancy. The force gave her the answer, even before she'd taken her first pregnancy test so many weeks ago. She hadn't tried to hide it. Others might know or suspect the truth. She simply hadn't felt ready to discuss it and had held off on actually telling her mother, or any of the Sullys for that reason.

She hadn't lived in denial either, taking excellent care of herself during the past ten weeks. It was the reason she was at the hospital that morning, giving herself a proper check-up (or as proper as self-administered exam could be). She had set up an ultrasound machine near an exam bed, laid down, lifted her top, squeezed on the gel and pressed the wand to her stomach. Taking a deep breath, she watched the life on the monitor. Lives. Two beautiful babies.

Just when she thought it couldn't get any better, she felt it. Jake was back on the island. And close. She leapt up off the table, wiped her stomach and yanked her top back down. She ran the hospital halls until she found his room and practically flew through the door. "Jake!" She yelled, and yelled through the force at the same time, as she sat on his bed next to him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

"Of course I did." Sunila worked on the iv, starting him on a slow drip of pain meds. "I will always come back. I'll find a way to stay with you no matter what." She was done with the island separating them. Her fingers went to his head when she was finished with the iv, running her fingers through his hair gently. "Or it might help you to think without the pain in the way." She smiled at him. There was so much she wanted to say. "I thought about you every day. And now we can think about us and our future."

	Jake visibly relaxed as the drugs started kicking in, a lot of tension and pain draining away from him with each drip. Her touch in his hair felt amazing, and he finally managed to smile properly. "I'm staying with you. You're stuck with me now," he told her, and caught hold of her hand again. "Sorry about that," he added, then pulled her hand down to kiss it.

	"Sorry for what? Making my lips jealous of my hands?" Sunila sat on the bed again and leaned down, kissing his lips. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I know you' re here now." She grinned widely at him. "We know you're here now. We're ready to be a family." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His face fell at the mention of them having a family, obviously not picking up on the way Sunila was phrasing her words. "Baby, I... I can't..." And then he paused as things clicked and pennies dropped. "...what do you mean, 'we'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sunila looked in his eyes. "It has been a long time, hasn't it? Since you've really felt with the force." She took his hand and placed it on her abdomen. "Follow my lead. Concentrate on the tiniest life in the room." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A baby. Sunila was pregnant from before. They were having a baby! A baby! Jake's brain felt like it was swinging all over the place, and it took a lot of focus to calm down enough to do anything.

He closed his eyes and tried his best to kick down old shields and doors and barriers and all the crap he'd put in place round his brain to stop 20 billion people driving him mad. [Yo- -eed to hel- love... -m so tire-], he managed, trying desperately to do as she was asking.

	"Close your eyes. Start by concentrating on me. The sound of my voice in your mind. The sound of my breathing. Soon you'll even heart my heart. Only me." Sunila instructed gently, hoping she wasn't overwhelming him. "All your focus on me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	txopuluke 2017-04-22 04:30 am UTC (link)
	He could do that, sure. He latched onto her voice as best he could, and tried to follow the sound of her breathing. It took a while, longer than he'd thought, but eventually he could pick up on her heartbeat as well. [-is right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_eyed_force 2017-04-22 11:44 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that's it. You can feel how the force moves through me with every breath, every beat of my heart. It moves through every living thing. Sunila smiled. Now just feel it a bit deeper, feel the force moving through another tiny little heart. She wanted him to realize there were two fetal heartbeats on his own, wanted to see that wonder in his eyes.

He did as she asked, listening as hard as he could through the Force, and then paused. Was he doing it wrong? There was an echo... He tried again, but there it was again.

Opening his eyes, he looked up at Sunila and was about to ask why there was an echo, and then it hit him. "You're having twins?!" he blurted out, looking down at their joined hands on her stomach, and then back up to her face again.

	Sunila grinned widely and nodded, taking a moment to enjoy his reaction. "It must be those awesome genes they get from their dad. They're strong in there. Those little hearts are so strong." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He was gonna be someone's dad. Two someones' dad! Holy shit. He laughed at the thought of it, then splayed his fingers out over her belly. "They've got most of the awesomeness from their mom, I reckon," he pointed out with a grin, and then reached up to wipe at his eyes a little.

"Told you I was gonna get stupid," he pointed out, and covered his eyes with his hand.

	Sunila giggled. "My Dad would agree. Something about House genes. But I know they'll get awesomeness from both sides." "Hey, hey." Sunila hoped he would look at her again and shook her head. "It's not stupid to be happy about our children. It's beautiful. Hell, it's sexy to see you happy about being a dad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He just nodded, unable to get words out for the moment, and his hand stayed where it was.

[I thought... never gonn- -ppen after -jury]

Then he took his hand from her stomach and scrubbed at his face, feeling stupid and embarrassed and broken and amazed and delighted and everything all at once. "And... and then," he continued, "I'm here again, with you and you're pregnant and... Fuck, I'm a wreck..."

	Sunila shook her head. It is happening. You're here now, my love. Anything you want to do, we'll find a way to make it happen. She sent him a sense of calm, and soothed her hand over his shoulder. "The best wreck ever. No one could blame you for feeling overwhelmed. I am here now. We're together. All four of us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded again, before reaching out to catch hold of her other hand. [Come here... please]

Right there and then, all he wanted to do was just to hold Sunila close. He was already exhausted, even though he'd hardly been awake, but then again, he woke up tired these days. The pretty severe moodswings hadn't helped, he realized, wiping at his eyes yet again. But yeah, he just wanted to lie there with Sunila in his arms and enjoy having her there beside him for the first time in eleven years.

Sunila laid next to him carefully, not wanting to aggravate his injuries. She kept holding his hand, giving it a firm squeeze. Leaning in, she pressed her lips to his cheek. "I missed being this close to you." She placed her head on his shoulder. I want to start calling myself Sully. I want us all to have the same last name. And I'm going to start telling people about the pregnancy."

Jake just nuzzled in against her hair. Any hopes he'd had of stopping the tears went out the window with her next words, though. Skxawng.

[I love you] he told her after a minute or so of trying to pull himself together, thinking as hard as he could so that she could hear him properly. [I love you, I missed you so much, I never forgot you, marry me, we'll have beautiful kids, I love you... and you and you.]

	Sunila let a few happy tears fall down her face too. She had longed to have him back, to share a life with him, be his wife and the mother of his children, for so long. Now, it could finally happen. Our children will be beautiful, just like you. We love you too. So, so, so, much. Rest now. We'll be here when you wake up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He hated that she was right about him needing rest. He wanted to be awake, talking to her about everything and telling her how he felt and how much he'd missed her and yeah, okay, even some stuff that had happened while he'd been away, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier with each passing second, and he just couldn't stay awake.

"Don't go," he murmured into her hair, while his grip on her hand tightened as much as he could. [Love yo-] he managed before exhaustion took him and he fell asleep again.
