The Best Of Us. (Ellie X Male Reader)

What Comes After.

Jackson.

"Come here Junior. Let Ellie have some rest."

Dina went over to pick her son up from the floor after some time with Ellie playing Lego.

"Babysitting is tough..." Ellie lay down on the floor flat, after an exhausting morning of looking after her god son.

"Try to do that all the time." Dina mocked her friend's limited ability.

"If so, I'll push it to (Y/N) instead. He's better with the children. Just look at Jason and Stephanie."

Over a year ago when they returned from Seattle, things were, not that great. At least, not at first.

Tommy was scolded by his wife in front of the crew. He got a timeout and grounded. Talk about a big boy.

Mel would later give birth to a healthy daughter, Stephanie. But (Y/N) just calls her Peony.

He's the unofficial big brother of the girl, taking care of her while Mel was busy or needed a break. She's part of the medical team in Jackson now.

It didn't take long before Stephanie started choosing (Y/N) over her own mother every time he showed up. Talk about great with kids.

Of course, (Y/N) won't forget about Ana and Jason.

Sure he killed their parents, but he took after them.

Didn't take long before Jason could stand on his own feet and started walking around the house. They got a little gremlin ready to strike now.

Then there's Jesse.

After he returned, the only thing on his mind would be Dina.

He tried to make it up for her. Saying something about sharing the burden after the baby got born and all that.

Good guys got it tough. Like, really tough.

They might said that getting back together ain't gonna happen, but it's the only thing inside their head.

Dina broke up with him, but he still care. Care enough to want what's best for her and the baby.

And Ellie was right. Give them two a week and they got back together.

Somewhere out the street, the playground where kids gathered.

Tommy and Joel, two brothers, sitting there, keeping their eyes on them kids like they're the bodyguard.

"Jason is quick on his feet."

"Shit. You tell me. I remember you were quick on your feet and fell flat after sliding down the slide like a Superman." Tommy mocked his brother about their past glory.

Ana is more mature than the rest, maybe it's because of the time she spent with (Y/N) and Jason outside the wall.

Sitting, lightly pushing her feet in the swing, didn't take long before a familiar face approaches her.

"Hi Ana."

"Hi Elliott. Having fun?"

Elliott, the very same boy that almost got a missile locked on to him during the last Christmas.

Joel and Tommy noticed them, and they starts betting.

"A bag of coffee says she's turning him down because of (Y/N)." Joel take the lead.

"You're so on. My bet would be Elliott mess up. He's too young to woo." Tommy throws in his bet.

Watching on as they await the results.
