14) Halfway

"I'm okay, Jax, I promise."--Ambrose

♡

"We'll be here when you get home."

Today is Ambrose's first day at the halfway house. The management were very much against him living at home but somehow Rhea managed to get them to let him live at home, most likely because of the baby. Jax insisted on walking him to Rhea's car for her to take him, their daughter half-sleeping on him after she woke up two hours ago screaming her little head off. When he reaches out to hug Ambrose, he can see Jax's hand shake; he takes it and presses little kisses to his palm. "I'm okay, Jax, I promise."

"I know," he whispers with a sad smile, wrapping his arm tight around Ambrose and kissing his head. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Ambrose pecks him on the lips, but Jax latches on with his teeth and melts their lips together until Sia starts to cry. "I love you too, Sia, I wasn't forgetting about you my favorite little noise box. Can I-"

Jax hands Sia off, knowing what he wants because he's the best boyfriend. He takes their daughter in his hands and kisses her face making her smile and giggle, her little hands reaching out and grabbing his hair. "I'll be back later princess and you, me, and Dad can do something fun. I love you."

He kisses her nose and her cheeks before handing her back to her dad who has a sad smile. "I'm going to be okay; I have to do this."

"I know and I'm so proud of you for going Amby. Oh Sia, that is nasty. I need to go change her or that smell will be forever engrained in this outfit, and this is one of my favorites. Bye, I love you."

"Love you too." He waits until Jax is safely in the house before getting in the passenger side of Rhea's Ferrari. "Will you make sure he's okay?"

"Of course," Rhea responds as she revs the engine and sets off. "He really is proud of you Ambrose."

"Yeah, I'm glad I have him." The rest of the ride to the halfway house was silent except for the quiet pinging on his Cell with messages and pictures from Jax.

He smiles at the photo Jax sent of him and Ambrosia laying on their bed, Jax's lips turned to the side to kiss his daughter's cheek. He notices that Jax is in his sweatshirt with the necklace he gave him and the green and black beaded bracelet he made for Jax all these years ago after he had been rescued from the hospital. Jax had never taken it off even if in the shower or training, the same goes for that plastic wedding ring, he vowed never to take it off until he had a real one, one that Ambrose is working hard to get. He's been talking to Rhea and Gemini about it lately.

7:31 a.m. Miss you too. Love your sweatshirt. Where'd you get it?

7:31 a.m. Oh, I know this really hot guy who has the most comfortable clothing. I could hook you up if you need something, I think he even has G-strings...

7:32 a.m. Jaxin! Not in front of our daughter! I do not have G-strings thank you very much and I have no interest in having them or wearing them so don't even try.

7:32 a.m. Aw you're no fun babe. Fiiiiiiiine. So, I was thinking we could have a date night when you get back if you want. Rhea said she'd watch Sia.

7:33 a.m. Sounds good. You won't get jealous this time?

7:33 a.m. If people keep their eyes to themselves. The fine piece of hot supernatural fighter that I call my boyfriend is MINE. No one else's and they need to know that.
