Who: Rebecca and Jasper, probably with Ben, George and Wilson thrown in somewhere.
What: What exactly.
Where: The mansion
When: Monday
Rating: PG-13

When Rebecca woke up to an empty bed that morning she knew something was wrong. Jasper almost never woke up before her, and she hadn't actually slept completely through the night since Ben had been born. Yet Jasper wasn't there and she'd slept through the night. Checking the boards was the first thing she did, finding her children - now teenagers - had posted. Her boyfriend - now about half his normal age - had also posted. He didn't remember her. Her children did, obviously, but they seemed to have little interest in her.

So after a panic attack, calmed only by George and Wilson, she asked Ben to bring his father back to the mansion to keep the man from picking anymore pockets. Really she didn't know what she planned to do with this younger version of the man she loved but she figured they'd start with talking and go from there. Sitting in the living room with her two huskies, Jude and Pip, laying at her feet she waited.

"Bloody 'ell," Jasper looked up at the mansion as they walked up, strolling along behind the teenager who was being a complete berk and going on about how he was his father and bla bla bla. Jasper couldn't care less as long as he got to go in this place. He could only imagine what he could nick. When he had woken up, he had thought he'd be seeing bars, seeing as he passed out while running from the coppers, but no. No, he woke up to be escorted to a mansion. Fair enough. He missed Horace, of course, but he supposed the man was getting on well enough where ever he was. He'd get in touch soon.

"Da-Jasper!" Ben had been trying to get his father's attention to no avail, the slightly older man looking around rather than at him. It was annoying, to say the least, not to mention the fact that every time some attractive woman walked by he had to see his father-albeit younger-make eyes at them. It was gross.

"Wot do ya want?" He finally snapped, looking at the young man, "Wot?"

"Come on," Ben grabbed Jasper's arm and tugged him inside, "Mum! We're here!"

George appeared and smiled at the pair, seeming alright with this change, waving, "Hello, chaps! Ben, is it?" He was cheerful, "And Jasper! Hello!" He offered his hand, which Jasper looked at.

"'oo are you?" He questioned, standing up and squaring off his shoulders.

"Why, I'm George. Prince George, I suppose, is the full title!" George replied, and Jasper blinked.

"Blimey. Royalty?" He looked to Ben who shrugged and went in to say hello to his mother, smiling at her as he came in.

"Looking fit, mum, if you don't mind me saying," He joked as he walked in, sitting down, Jasper entering with George, looking a bit dumbstruck. Obviously he was still a bit taken aback by royalty, even when young. However, when Jasper saw Rebecca, he smiled a little, taking off his hat and walking towards her with a sly grin.

"Oh, and 'oo's this, then? Can't be Rebecca, could it?" He'd be so lucky, he added mentally with a smirk.

When Wilson heard about Jasper's change and saw Tara and Ben had grown he immediately became that support Rebecca needed. The young woman had nearly had a panic attack which turned into a fit of rage, fading into a nap. After the nap she'd felt better and had more of a clear head, waiting for her son to bring Jasper by the mansion. So Wilson moved to stand at George's side when Ben and Jasper stepped inside and smiled a little at Ben. However he regarded Jasper with a less trusting look. The older Jasper had been sketchy enough but a young thieving Jasper? Oh, Wilson didn't like him at all.

When Ben came up to her Rebecca put her hands on his arms and looked him over, shaking her head.

"You look ridiculous with all that hair." However she pulled her son into a hug and kissed the top of his head, sighing a little. Her babies were teenagers and that was something she wasn't quite willing to face in the future, let alone barely a year after Ben had been born. Allowing him to go sit down she rolled her eyes when Jasper approached her.

"It could, and don't you dare try anything funny." Obviously she wasn't amused in the least by this younger version of the man she loved.

"Hey, you say that enough in my time," Ben snorted with a little smile for his mom, giving her a nod and a little hug before moving to sit. He wanted to see what happened, he couldn't lie.

"Oi, now, no need to get touchy, missus," Jasper held up his hands in surrender, giving her a smile that was very much the roguish grin he had twenty years older, "I don't intend to do anythin' funny, Crown's 'onour," He glanced to George, "Beggin' your pardon, of course," He waggled his brows with a little smile before looking back to Rebecca, "And 'ow long 'ave we been datin', then?"

"You and I haven't dated. However my Jasper and I have been together for...quite a few years now. At first it was on and off but we were going about three years steady." And she was proud of that. Their relationship when she was a teen, and even as she grew up, had been...strained but there. Then she'd been married to Matt, even while she had an affair with Jasper, which brought about Tara and her return to the universe they were in...

"Its a long story."

	Jasper listened to that, brow furrowing, "What d'you mean, your Jasper? I'm Jasper, and I sure as 'ell haven't been datin' any missus for that long," He was frankly surprised he was dating one just then, but he wasn't going to argue about it, "And as I see it, love, I've not a place to be 'sides here, so why don't you tell me it? This story of ours?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You don't understand because this place? Is crazy. People get older, people get younger. I was technically born in 2007, yet here I am nearly 30 years old." She shook her head a little bit. "With a three year old daughter who is 19 and a 17 year old son who is supposed to be one. So you aren't my Jasper. You aren't the one who belongs here. You," Rebecca paused, sighing, "are just another...thing this place does."

She moved to sit on the couch beside Ben.

"Well, ain't that a laugh. I come all the way 'ere to be called 'nothin'," Jasper shook his head as Ben shrugged and looked at his mother.

"Hey, at least he is still here, right? I mean, come on, mum, could be worse. Could be gone entirely," He looked at the younger Jasper, who was eying George who was smiling in return, looking completely innocent. As per usual.

	Of course Rebecca didn't see an up side to either of those things. "He might as well be gone." The young woman stated quietly, shaking her head. "You don't remember anything, Jasper. You don't..." 'Know me, love me' was what she wanted to say however fell short. "You aren't mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ben didn't know what to say to that, staying quiet as Jasper seemed to be offended by the woman's words, "Oi, now, see 'ere," He stepped forward, shaking his head, "You don't know for certain I ain't like your Jasper. What's he like, then? He got a twin brother, does he? 'Orace? And what of his parents? 'Is father a drunk, 'is mother a saint? And what of 'is past? I could tell you it! You don't need to be writin' me off so soon, poppet, it just ain't decent," He wasn't going to let someone judge him without even knowing him, that was for certain. This, of course, made Ben roll his eyes.

"That isn't the point," He said, "You just ain't got the history."

Jasper scowled, "Why don't you stick your nose in someone else business?"

Ben shrugged, "This is going on live in my house." That just made Jasper huff.

	Jasper's speech seemed to make something click in Rebecca's mind and the young woman smiled just slightly. Her lover was still in there somewhere. His initial personality; his soul, his essence was there even when nothing else was. So she stood and walked around behind the couch, her two huskies at her heels now. "Come walk with me, Jasper?"

	Jasper gave a smug smirk to Ben, who rolled his eyes and got up. "I'm getting some lunch. Wanna come, grandpa squared?" He asked Wilson and George while Jasper walked after Rebecca. "I'd be pleased, pet," He nodded, stepping forward and even offering his arm, giving her a grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wilson watched Jasper and Rebecca walk off, sighing. He figured if Rebecca was like House in any way, she'd be able to handle her own so he turned to his grandson and nodded.

"I'm up for lunch."

Rebecca linked one of her arms with his and led him through the dining room to one of the back doors. She wanted to walk outside, around the mansion, so she pulled open the door. Her dogs went first, then herself and Jasper and once they were outside she sighed.

"You have to understand this place is...tiring sometimes. Especially when it messes with my family." Rebecca offered up as a semi-apology.

	Jasper was just happy to have the woman wanting to get closer, smiling over that. So his charm was working somewhat. He figured it would. "Is it now? Why don't you tell me all about it, love? Since I'm new and all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"In this universe, people come and go. They are drawn from their own homes, from their own time lines into this...place. And even here people vanish all the time. Weird things happen like zombies, or genderswapping or no one being able to keep on their clothes because they dissolve." Rebecca shook her head as they walked along a path through the back gardens, sighing.

"You. An older you was here. I was born here. The older you...well. I quite love him. We have two, beautiful children together though now they are both teenagers. Ben you met. He is only supposed to be a year old and Tara you haven't met, she is 19 and supposed to be three." It was a lot of information to give, she knew, but it was better to get it all out and answer questions.

	Jasper listened, thinking it all a bit mad, but then, he also was twenty years in the future, which was a bit mad, too. "Well. I wager you'd be telling the truth, if you are talkin' like that. So, what's to be done, then, poppet? What with me 'ere, what of your old man?" Since he was having trouble thinking of himself as that old man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesthouse 2009-01-22 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I can only assume he'll return and you'll return to your time. If not, well. I'm not going to force you to live his life, Jasper." Rebecca wouldn't do that to the young man. "I've got my surrogate father and my actual father, George and Wilson so I'll be fine raising the kids if they return to their ages, by myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hatespuppies 2009-01-22 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Right," Jasper felt a pang of guilt over that, but mostly relief. Thank God he wouldn't have to become a dad. He didn't want to be one. He didn't want to settle down, he knew he would be no good at it, and why would he do something he knew he'd be no good at? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesthouse 2009-01-23 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Of course Rebecca looked upset that she had made such an offer. The selfish part of her wanted Jasper. Whether it be this one or another Jasper. However she wasn't going to get that so she'd just to have deal and pray her boyfriend would return. It was hard, thinking that after all they'd been through, Jasper would be gone for good. She frowned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hatespuppies 2009-01-23 07:24 am UTC (link)
	Jasper glanced at the woman and raised his eyebrows, "Alright?" He asked, leaning into her a bit, "Oh, come on now, love, you won't be lost yet! We don't know that your Jasper ain't about somewhere! I hate to see a lady sad," Which was the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesthouse 2009-01-23 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	Turning, she put her arms around him and nuzzled her face into his shoulder. Even with his word she was still anxious, still wanted her boyfriend back. The father of her children. "I haven't been without him in a very long time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hatespuppies 2009-01-23 01:07 pm UTC (link)
	Surprised by the sudden contact, Jasper put his arms around her and patted her back, "There, there, love, you ain't got to worry. I've got no doubts in me head that he'll be comin' back to ya," Not that he knew how this place worked, but he didn't want her upset. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesthouse 2009-01-23 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	Sighing she remained as she was. It felt good to hug him, to inhale his scent because he was still Jasper. Her dogs, whom had been running out in the yard, both returned and sat there near her. "I hope you are right. I don't...know what I'd do without him." After all, she'd already lost a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hatespuppies 2009-01-23 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, come on now, love, he'll be back 'round," Jasper hated seeing women upset, and would say anything to comfort them, frankly, "And I'll be 'round until he is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesthouse 2009-01-23 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't have to be here, Jasper." She stated softly, rubbing her forehead to his shoulder. "This isn't your family or your life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
