They could rebuild each other, piece by piece. And the pieces that were missing, they'd find a way to fill in together. Their daughter needed them and they were both already wrapped so tightly around those pudgy little fingers.
All three of them, if Waylon's cooing was to be listened to. The man had mellowed with age. With incarceration? Maybe just with time and Roy to help take care of. The man was still huge and intimidating as hell...but watching him cuddle Lian eased the last few misgivings he had. Everyone deserved a second chance, right? He was a firm believer in that.
Even if that person had bodied him into many a brick wall.
Sitting down next to the other man, he reached over to nudge that cupcake a little closer, while also out of the way of reaching baby fists.
"We're here because birthday cupcakes are meant to be shared with family. Isn't that right, baby girl..." The last was said with a wiggled finger at Lian. She giggled and waved at him, but he was second fiddle to Waylon at the moment. The older man had all her focus and Jason felt himself relax a little more as he watched the two interact.
He waited a bit, letting Roy and Waylon catch up as he picked at his cupcake. He had a plan....but he wanted to wait for the right time because he hadn't actually spoken to Roy about it. It was a surprise for him just as much as it was a surprise for Waylon.
"Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about, Waylon. Roy tells me you're up for parole in a few months? Well...we're looking to move some place a little quieter. For Lian. And I wanted to offer you a landing pad until you get your feet back under you. For as long as you need."
