Jake just grinned at the mention of his kids. "I reckon that's what grandparents do, yeah." He fell quiet for a moment and fiddled with a pull in the covers across his legs, then looked back up at Kytana again. "I'd kinda started telling myself that I wasn't gonna be a dad, not after... well, this. And because nobody else is Sunila and I was never gonna meet her where I was. And then I got back home, and then she..."
He laughed again, his hand pressed against his chest to hopefully counter the tug he could feel in there (it didn't). "Sunila's gonna have to be the strict one, I think."
