A/N: This was requested by meet-me-onthe-equinox on tumblr, and then combined with an older request from lunabelle on AO3! Thank you to the both of you, and for anyone reading this right now. You're all wonderful :)
Enjoy!
Andy wasn't very good at this whole conceptualizing thing, it was just hard all right? However, in a hundred-hundred lives he didn't expect to see this before him:
April Ludgate, the one with the dorky smile and the sour look at all hours otherwise, was trying to comfort little Jack on his way to his first day to school. And, really, he seemed to be doing fine.
It was April that needed it.
When she returned, a worried flatline deadpan across her face, Andy only grinned at her. Jack continued on his merry way, bouncing a little and remembering to keep his little fake blood capsules for in case someone was being a real jerk - as per Andy - or his teacher really sucked, likewise April.
No, he would do fine. Jack would be okay, just another step in his life that was this culmination of a thousand lives Andy had never known and right now, despite the fact that he just didn't get that really, he knew that in that very moment everything felt perfect. Not okay, not great... but perfection.
April didn't seem to think differently when they stopped to grab a bite to eat, depart for a moment in the gross old alley next to the fast food place, and didn't let up until it was time to pick Jack up... several hours later.
