Who: Jack and Bobby Twist
What: Reunion
When: Last Week
Where: Jackson Hole, WY

Bobby Twist hadn't seen his father for nearly fifteen years. The last he knew, his father had been killed. It wasn't a tire blowing up in his face, Bobby knew the truth. It wasn't even because he was homosexual. Bobby knew his grandpappy had had his daddy killed, cause Grandpappy didn't like Daddy. Bobby wasn't a genius, he didn't have to be to figure these things out.

And now, Bobby was about to be reunited with his Daddy. Pa. He called him Pa, mostly. Pa had been dead a long time, and yet, Bobby had spoken to him. After the vortex, and the arrival in this new world. Maybe he was dead too. Weird, then, that Alma and the baby were here too. Bobby wwasn't sure what to think. He didn't want to be dead. he didn't want Alma and Drew to be dead. But they were all there, with his Pa.

Bobby paced in front of the place where the port key was said to be. That was another thing Bobby couldn't wrap his head around. His Pa was coming to Jackson Hole through a port key. Well, Bobby's just wait and see if Pa actually showed up. Maybe the whole thing was a dream, and he'd wake up witht hat eerie feeling he sometimes got.

	That got a small, brief smile out of Jack. "Things'll be better, here. F'one, I ain't gotta be livin' paycheck t'paycheck, anymore. S'place took care'a that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"'Seems when we got 'ere, s'place decided t'be kind. Ennis an' I own one'a th'biggest cattle ranches in Utah. 'Got a bank account 'at'd really piss y'grandaddy off, f'he knew 'bout it." Jack nodded again, taking another drink. "Alma an' y'Andrew been stayin' with us, on th'land. We own half th'mountain." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of Jack's shoulders shrugged, as he fooled with his glass again. "F'ya want. 'Ain't gonna make ya." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ain't that I feel obligated, Pa." Bobby sipped his drink. "Just that I wanna be close t'ya, now I got 'nother chance." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rodeowithatwist 2008-02-17 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Ai'ight, then. Y'know y'welcome 'round as long as you want, you an' y'family both." He took another drink, smiling a little more asuredly at Bobby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	twisted_fate 2008-02-17 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Seein' as m'family's already there..." Bobby smiled a sly little smile. "I'm real glad y'get a chance to know 'em, Pa." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rodeowithatwist 2008-02-17 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Jack finally chuckled at that, nodding. "M'glad too, son. Ere'a right nice family. M'proud of you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I won't, Pa." Bobby nodded. He finished off his drink and looked to his father's drink to see how much Jack had left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jack cleaned off his glass, and set it off to the side, waving at the waitress. "Y'want another?" Addressing Bobby, although he was already ordering a beer for himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	twisted_fate 2008-02-18 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Jus' one more, yeah. Then I reckon we oughtta be gettin' t'the'ranch?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rodeowithatwist 2008-02-18 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"'Course, gotta be helpin' Ennis get th'herd in, an all'at." He watched the waitress go, leaning back in his chair a bit. "'Mind f'I ask how y'ended up meetin' Alma an' Ennis, anyhow?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bobby thumbed at a spot on the table. "Afta' you...when Ennis called, Mama got ta actin' really weird. An' she wouldn't tell me who 'as on th' phone. 'Just a friend a'your daddy,' she'd say. So I sneaked a look at th'phonebill. Didn't say no name, but it gave me th' area code where he 'as callin' from. So I went there, and I found 'im. An' in findin' him, Pa, I found her, too."

	Jack seemed to digest that- so no one had told Ennis. And when he called, Lureen just.. brushed him off. Lucky for him, his beer came, giving him something else to focus on. To redirect his ideas. "S'good. 'At you met 'im, an' her. M'glad." His words were distracted; it was obvious he was lost in thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bobby nodded. He didn't think it wise to tell his father how Ennis had attacked him, when he'd seen him. How Bobby had been black and blue for days, even weeks, after. He understood the shock, the anger, Ennis must have felt. He'd learned later, from Alma, that Ennis and his daddy were lovers. He hadn't taken the news well at the time, but it helped him understand a lot of things about himself, then, once he'd calmed down.

"Me too, Pa. Me too. M'life ain't never been th'same since, an' I don't hardly regret none of it."

He didn't have it in him, to believe Ennis would hit his son, just for being his son. For getting his daughter pregnant, that he could see. But it was better he didn't know about it, since he'd have to talk to Ennis about it, and that would enivitably lead to a fight.

So he just nodded, and took a drink from his new bottle. "Good," He wasn't sure what else to say.

	If it were to come up, Bobby would tell him Ennis didn't attack him for being Jack's son. He attacked him because he thought he was Jack. ~~The mun may have to write this scene.~~ Bobby followed suit, drinking from his fresh bottle. He savored the taste of it, the chill on his tongue. "Y'oughtta know, Ennis been like a father t'me." More or less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rodeowithatwist 2008-02-18 03:07 am UTC (link)
	"Was 'e, now?" Jack couldn't really see that, but he had to guess Bobby meant it as a compliment, so he took it that way. "Good, son. F'there 'as someone I could.. e's a good man, under the asshole exterior." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	twisted_fate 2008-02-18 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Bobby nodded. It wasn't all sunshine and roses, with Ennis. Jack wouldn't believe it if he said it was. Ennis was a difficult man to get close to, even just to talk to. But he had filled a void in Bobby no one else could. "Hope at least 'e's happy t'see me when we get back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't think he's got memory'a you, son. 'Same as me. He didn't know... doesn't remember anythin'." Jack stared off into the distance, taking an idle sip of his beer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"'Sgood, them. Alma done tell me he din't know you was in the grave, neither, so I reckon he wouldn't know me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
