Unfortunately, I have been on an unannounced hiatus. Hopefully, I will be uploading regularly. Anyway, enjoy!
All rights go to Disney and their show Jessie.
Lucas Ross combed through his hair with his fingers and bent down to pick something up. He grinned and saw that it was Kenny, his stuffed koala that he had considered a friend when he was younger. Bryan must've dropped it, he thought fondly of his young three year old son.
"Still awake?" a woman's voice echoed quietly in the almost empty room. Luke and his family had only moved into this house three days ago and they were still in the process of unpacking boxes. With a subtle pivot Luke had learned to do smoothly to do with all he breakdancing, he turned to faced Lucy Green-Ross, his wife of four years.
"Yes, I am, trying to clean up and maybe unpack some. You go sleep. I'll be in bed soon, I promise." Luke walked closer and wrapped his arms around the woman.
"Luke, are you okay? You haven't been going to bed on time for weeks now." Lucy raised her head up to inspect Luke's face.
"I'm alright really. Just a bit of stress I can let loose tomorrow at Debby's birthday. It'll be good to see all my relatives, Jessie, Tony, and their kids." Luke buried his face in Lucy's curly blonde hair, whispering quietly as to not wake up Bryan.
Lucy raised her eyebrows but reluctantly kissed Luke's cheek and walked up the stairs to her bedroom. Luke sighed and quietly ripped open a box of cushions to on the sofa they had already moved in. It'd been months since the Ross kids had seen each other, and even more months since the Ross kids had seen Jessie, Tony, and their kids. Bending down to pick the pillows out of the box two by two, Luke shook his head to himself.
Once we see them, what do we say? Luke thought, "Hi, I'm your brother and I haven't bothered to visit in months and you haven't bothered to come see me, but that's alright... Oh, and Jessie, your kids are as old as I was when you became our nanny. How cool. I haven't bothered to see you in a long time too, even if you're the woman who practically raised us for years. No biggie.
Sighing again, Luke tossed the pillows on the sofa and walked up the stairs slowly toward his and Lucy's room, stopping to check on Bryan. Bryan was sleeping peacefully and gently, Luke reached his hand out to ruffle Bryan's curly black hair and then turned away. He walked out of the room and tiptoed into his and Lucy's room, but was greeted by Lucy who was propped up on her elbows.
"I finally figured out why you're being stressed out. It's the party isn't it? Your reunion with your sibling and Jessie's family after a long time?" Lucy asked.
Luke nodded and halfway through his nod, Lucy nodded back and laid back down on the bed, returning her arms to her sides one by one. Taking his time, Luke slipped into his side of the bed, reaching out to grab Lucy's hand. In her light slumber, she smiled and Luke gladly returned the favor and dozed off.
