An Unorthodox Family Is The Best Kind

Cowboy VS Periods

"Shit," Jesse swore rummaging through his medicine cabinet. He sat back down on the toilet fishing out his phone from his pant pocket. He thumbed through his contacts finding "Angela", then he remembered she was out on a mission. The Hispanic let out a groan, finding Gabe's name and reluctantly sending him a text.

"Gabe, uhh could yah run me some "Feminine products" I'm out Angie's  on a mission and I'm stuck in the bathroom."    

"Give me five minutes."  Gabe's message bings.

"Thanks, you're a life saver."

True to his word five minutes later Gabe came into Jesse's room. 

"Here Niño," He tossed a pack of pads into the bathroom. "My daughter also sent you some stuff it's out on the counter." Quickly Jesse put on a pad thankful to be getting out of the bathroom.

"You have a daughter?" Jesse raised an eyebrow glancing at his commander. 

"Si, she's only a few years younger than you and she arrived on base today. She sent you a heating pad junk food and pain killers and if you're feeling up to it she want's to come meet you."  

"Sure, I'd love to meet her." 

                                                                                       ---

"Hola, I'm Aurora." A gangly teenaged girl stood in Jesse's doorway smiling widely her voice was smooth with a slight Hispanic accent. Long, light brown hair with streaks of blonde was in a high ponytail that was then braided. Her skin was a light brown that held contrast to her bright blue eyes. 

"Howdy, the name's Jesse." He grinned at her, showing her inside his rooms. "I suppose, I have you to thank for the care package." She sat on the old battered couch that sat in front of the TV.

"Yeah, as much as I love my dads, neither of them deals well with periods. They both tried so hard to explain them to me when I was younger. I put them out of their misery by calling Aunt Ana, she still teases them about it to this day." Jesse let out a bark of laughter sitting next to her on the couch. "The two greatest commanders of Overwatch brought to their knees by the female reproductive system." He blinked at her 

"The two?" He questioned

"Oh right, Papi didn't get around to telling you before he had to go. Since I'm old enough to join my parents on base they decided to be open about their relationship finally. My full name is Aurora Elizabeth Reyes-Morrison. Dad and Papi kept their marriage a secret since they didn't want to deal with the publicity and UN bull. Then I came along and they really didn't want the UN to know about be a child of not one but two SEP soldiers, they were afraid they would try to take me. But I've been deemed old enough to venture into the politics and inner workings of Overwatch."   

"Damn." Jesse whistled slouching back into the couch cushions. "So how do you feel about old westerns?" 

Thus began a sort of sibling like the relation between the two. In a sense, Jesse was Aurora's big brother and she was his little sister.
