New traditions

A/N: this is a fic that came out of the fact that I've never been to a pumpkin patch (even though ive scoured the Internet and polled people on best pumpkin patches to visit) but I did recently bought some pumpkins at the grocery store. I was thinking about what if Y/N was use to go to a pumpkin patch and had to adjust to buying them at the grocery store where the size options are limited. How would her brothers handle that. And thus this was born!

"why can't we go to a pumpkin patch?" Whined Y/N. 

Sighing, Jay replied, "because between me working, Will doing overtime shifts, and you in school, there is just no time. Now do you want the $2 tiny pumpkin pie pumpkin or do you want the $5.75 giant jack-o'-lantern pumpkin?" 

You thought about it, even went so far as picking the tiny one up and then attempting to pick the giant one up before sighing, "the pumpkin patch would have had all types of sized pumpkins, not just 2 sizes"

Getting irritated but knowing it was your first October post your dad dying, Jay tried to not hold your hang up over a tradition against you.

"Tell you what, if you pick one I'll make sure instead of getting a half gallon of apple cider we'll splurge and get a whole gallon and we can force Will into watching Hocus Pocus with us." 

You begrudgingly agreed and grabbed the tiny pumpkin from the cardboard box.

That night, Will got home from work and immediately went to change. When he left to shower, Jay looked at you and stated, "look I know it's not ideal that we couldn't go to a pumpkin patch and I'm so sorry for that. But my friends from work were kind enough to send over some sweet treats and pumpkin patch essentials so that while we carve pumpkins and watch Hocus Pocus we can create a new tradition."

You looked up excited to know what was brought! 

Jay handed you the bags full of goodies and you began unloading them on the living room table.

"Candy corn!" You exclaimed! 

Pulling another item out of the bag you squealed, "Jay! We got candy apples!" 

Looking from his spot on the couch, Jay replied "I see that. I think that was from Hailey." 

You set the candy apples aside and pulled out a carving set, looking at Jay you pondered, "who got this?" 

Taking the set from you Jay thought to himself before stating, "if I tell you, you gotta keep it a secret, ok?" 

"Ok!" You nodded.

"Sergeant Platt. She heard you were having a hard time with the fact you couldn't go to the pumpkin patch and she decided to throw in this carving set that is complete with stencils" 

You gasped, "just like at the pumpkin patch!" 

"Just like at the pumpkin patch" agreed Jay.

When Will got back from his shower, you guys popped popcorn, threw the candy corn into the bowl, heated up some cider in the microwave, turned on the movie and began carving your pumpkins.

"Jay, think fast!" Exclaimed Will and before Jay had anytime to react a chunk of pumpkin guts complete with seeds flew at his face. 

"Dude, gross" exclaimed Jay while grabbing paper towel to wipe his face.

All you could do was just laugh. "Will, is that why Jay makes you pull the guts out of the pumpkins? Cause he thinks the insides are gross?" 

Laughing, Will replied, "that and because Y/n/n, our brother is a certified germ-a-phobe." 

Jay just grabbed some popcorn and instead of eating it threw it in Will's general direction.

That's how the rest of the night went, your brothers teasing each other, you enjoying carving pumpkins and watching spooky movies and just overall enjoying your time with your brothers.

That night when Jay put you to bed, he was about to shut your door when you popped your head up and said, "Jay Jay, I'm really sorry about how I acted at the store today." 

Jay turned to look at you, "I'm glad you can see the way you were acting wasn't good. But I'm also sorry for hearing you but not listening to you" 

You smiled and stated "that's okay, I had a lot of fun tonight anyway and think it was better than the pumpkin patch!" 

"Good night Y/N"
