Thalia stood and held Jared for as long as he needed her to comfort him. She didn't ask questions and he didn't talk. She stood there cradling his head against her body and stroking his silky hair. She thought he may have been crying but she couldn't tell and she didn't want to move to check to see. Finally he looked up into her eyes and there were tears in his own, causing his eyes to be more green than hazel. Not really sure what to say Thalia waited for Jared to talk. Sometimes she had found that silence was golden. Jared finally took a deep breath and blew it out as he pulled Thalia close again, wrapping his long arms around her body. "Thank you for letting me fall apart on you.", he said as he looked back up at Thalia. She held his face between her hands. "That's what a relationship is about Jared. I'm here for you through thick and thin. Do you want to talk about what's going on?" Jared looked like a child as he stayed there on his knees in front of Thalia.
Finally tired of being on his knees Jared sat on the floor with his back against the couch and pulled Thalia down with him. He had her straddle his lap where he could look at her as he talked. "I really am alright but some days what we do gets to me. Some days it gets to Jensen too and occasionally it gets to both of us. I'm dealing with being tortured by Lucifer to the point that Sam isn't able to sleep or eat or anything else." Thalia listened quietly but laced her fingers through Jared's as he talked. He looked down at their hands laced together and felt a love for Thalia that he hadn't felt before. "Anyway I guess it just got to me tonight. I knew you were here and I got to come home to you. Thank you again for that." Thalia smiled at Jared before she leaned in to kiss his lips. Breaking their kiss she reaches up and runs her index finger along the cleft in his chin and Jared closed his eyes. She watched him and marveled at the life she had with him. "Anytime you need to cry on my shoulder you know I'm here. I told you at the beach that I love you and I do."
Jared gathered her in his arms and tucked her head under his chin, "I love you Thalia. I've been very blessed that you have come into my life." He holds her for a few more seconds and then she sits up, "Let's go to bed. I think you need some rest and I want to hold you, to take care of you. What time do you have to be in for shooting tomorrow?" "I don't have to be in before 1 tomorrow.", Jared answers her. Thalia stands and reaches for Jared's hand, helping him up off the floor. Sadie licks his hand as he passes by her laying on the couch. He follows Thalia to the back of the trailer where she crawled into the king sized bed. She lay back onto the pillows and held out her arms to Jared as he followed her. He lay his head over onto her shoulder and she wrapped him up in her arms, comforting him for a change. "I love that even though you're this big, tough guy that you can rely on me for comfort sometimes. Thank you for giving me that opportunity." Jared doesn't answer but gives a little bit of a nervous laugh.
They soon fall asleep wrapped in each other's arms. Thalia stirred from her sleep at one point during the night when she felt Jared jerk in his sleep a few times. She gently ran her nails over his back until he was still again. She would try to remember to ask him about it in the morning.
***********************************
The next morning Tiara wasn't feeling the best so Jensen got up and went out to grab some breakfast. He first stopped at Jared's trailer and knocked on the door quietly. Thalia came to the door, "I am going for breakfast. Do you guys need anything?", he says from the second step. Thalia looked toward the back of the trailer almost with a worried look on her face. "I've got stuff to fix here. Jared is still sleeping and I'm going to let him sleep for a while longer. He had a rough night last night." Jensen nodded, "I figured he must have. He came straight here last night. I'm glad he has you." Thalia could see the sincerity in Jensen's eyes. "Thank you Jensen and thank you for checking with us. Jensen gave a little wave and told Thalia goodbye. She closed the door and Jensen went after breakfast for himself and Tiara.
He picked up their favorite things for breakfast and drove back to the studio. Tiara was sitting up on the couch when he came in and she looked a little worse than she had when he left. Sitting the food on the bar he went to Tiara, "Oh baby are you not feeling any better?" Tiara shook her head as a tear silently slipped down her cheek. "Do you want me to take you in to the doctor?", he says as he takes her hand in his own. "As bad as I hate to I really think I need to go. I don't want there to be something wrong with this pregnancy." Jensen looked worried, "You have six weeks left right?" Tiara nodded and placed her free hand over her stomach. "Ok you eat if you feel like you can and I'll grab a quick shower and let Jared and Thalia know what's going on." Jensen gave Tiara a quick kiss on her cheek and then bolted to the shower.
Tiara forced herself to eat some of the breakfast and then placed what was left in the refrigerator. She really hoped that this baby wasn't trying to come early but better that than there be something really wrong with him or her. Jensen was soon back in the living room with his phone in his hand. He placed a call to Thalia thinking that Jared may still be asleep. When Jared answered a little out of breath it threw Jensen for a brief second. "Oh ummm….Jared? I was expecting Thalia. Did I interrupt something?", he said breaking into a very Dean like leer. He laughed into the phone as he listened to Jared's answer. "Ok well y'all have fun! I wanted to let you know that I'm taking Tiara to the doctor. She's not feeling well and we need to get that checked out. I'll let you know what's going on when we know something. Ok man thanks."
With that he hung up the phone and turned to Tiara. "Well that was awkward! I interrupted them!" Tiara rolled her eyes at Jensen, "We need to go. I'm not going to feel any better standing here discussing Jared and Thalia's sexcapades!" Jensen laughed and shook his head but headed toward the door, opening it for Tiara and helping her down the steps. He held the door for her as she climbed in and he drove her to the doctor.
