MASTERLIST

The dinner was lively, everyone laughing, and telling stories. John was sitting next to Y/N and he kept looking over at her, watching as she interacted with her family. She was gorgeous and despite her tears only moments ago she had a smile on her face as they all told stories.

John wasn’t paying attention to anything other than Y/N until he saw her face turn red and she groaned from embarrassment. He turned his attention to the table and Charlie started telling them about Skijoring.

“What the hell is Skijoring?” Kyle asked

Down the table Freya squealed. “Swear jar!”

Simon laughed and raised his eyebrows towards Kyle as if saying I told you so. He then tossed Kyle a loonie and Kyle handed it directly to Freya which caused her and Edie to argue over who should get the dollar.

“Skijoring is where you have one person riding a horse towing another person behind them on either skis or a snowboard.” Charlie explained. “What can I say, small town folks gotta find a way to pass the time. We had told Simon about it and he was determined to try it.”

“Wait did ya?” Johnny asked, looking over at Simon.

“We did.” Simon said hesitantly.

“And?”

“It was great, a lot of fun and hilarious. We even set up little jumps. Everything was great. Until…:”

Simon refused to say what happened so Charlie jumped in.

��Until Brooke went a little too fast while towing Y/N on her snowboard and she launched her hard off a jump.Y/N came down on her arm the wrong way and broke it.”

“Mom was pissed.” Emma laughed

“Swear jar!”

Another loonie was passed to the twins

“Yeah well you were grown. I shouldn't have to watch over you twenty four hours a day to make sure you don’t do dumb shit.” Momma Lynn said while simultaneously handing Edie a loonie.

“Wait, how old were you?” Kyle asked.

“About, what?” Y/N looked over at Simon. “Twenty nine?”

“Yeah about that.”

“Old enough to know better.” Momma Lynn said with a frown, but couldn’t help it and started laughing. “They tried to pretend like she just fell off a horse while they were riding. Acting like we couldn’t see them in the field from the window. It was such a terrible excuse. Y/N wouldn’t get on a horse to save her life.”

“You don’t like riding horses?” John looked at her amused.

”Don’t like horses in general. I get it, they’re majestic, gorgeous creatures. But I had a childhood experience that made me scared of them for life.”

“You’re so dramatic.” Momma Lynn laughed.

“That horse nearly broke my back trying to go under a low hanging branch. Then it took off running full speed home with me on its back.”

“I told you to pull on the reins, it’s not my fault you didn’t listen.” Momma Lynn shrugged

“I was eight! That’s three years older than the twins are now!”

Brooke rolled her eyes. “They’ve been riding for a year.”

Y/N looked shocked.

“Really?”

“Yeah nana takes us for horsey rides all the time.”

She really had missed a lot.

“Well, it doesn't change my opinion, horses are scary.”

Johnny laughed. “Can’t believe you are scared of anything, let alone a horse.”

“Well we’ll put you on one tomorrow and we’ll see how you do. How about that?”

“Can we do Skijoring?” Ky asked excitedly.

“NO!”

“Absolutely.”

Charlie and Y/N said at the same time. Charlie shot her a warning glare.

“Come on mom, you gotta do it? Why can’t we?” Ky asked

“Yeah mommy, can we please do it?” Johnny said in a low voice.

Charlie’s cheeks blushed and she smirked at him. All of a sudden a dinner roll hit Johnny in the face and he looked up to see Simon glaring at him.

“That's your second warning. You won’t get a third.”

John chuckled and then felt something press against his leg. He looked down to see Chewy standing on his hind legs, his front legs against John’s legs, looking up at him with the saddest eyes he’s ever seen. John looked at his plate for something to sneak him under the table but Y/N put her hand on his.

“That’s how he gets you. He makes you think he’s starving and so sad. But he’s really not. That's why he’s so chunky.” She laughed and moved Chewy off John’s leg.

Chewy huffed and moved on to his next victim.

“Alright kids, dinners over go up to your rooms and play, the adults have to talk.” Simon said and there was a chorus of protests.

“That’s enough of that.” Momma Lynn said firmly and the twins and Meadow got up from their seats and made their way out of the room.

Charlie looked at Ky and motioned for him to leave too.

“Mom, I'm eighteen now, I should be able to stay.”

She looked over at Y/N who shrugged “Technically he’s an adult now.”

“Fine but you listen to the rules, and you keep your mouth shut.”

Ky nodded excitedly.

Momma Lynn put a basket in the middle of the table. Simon and the girls all tossed their phones and any other electronics into it. The team caught on and did the same. Charlie looked at Ky and he reluctantly put his phone in.

“The watch too.” She instructed.

Once he put it in Charlie took the basket into the other room and came back empty handed.

“Alright, what’s going on? Why’d we have to drop everything and come out here for an unknown amount of time? And why can’t I speak to my husband about it?” Brooke crossed her arms over her chest.

“I saw Adam, told him what I’m telling you now so don’t worry.” Y/N explained and Brooke looked shocked.

“When?”

“We were in Sweden right before coming here. I made a stop to see him. He wasn’t thrilled but preferred the idea of the three of you being here rather than being at home. We have protection watching over him.”

“I didn’t know you went to see Adam.” Simon said annoyance in his voice.

“With Keegan when I went to run errands.” She then turned to Brooke “He couldn’t tell you he saw me because of the no discussing over the phone rule.”

“So what’s the reason?” Emma asked, looking concerned.

“We’ve been after a top level target for quite a long time now. We finally tracked him down and thought we got him but it was a trap. He’s identified us and said he has all our information. We don’t know where he is and because he’s so dangerous we’ve had to be cautious and hide out for a bit while Overwatch tracks him down. We worried because if he knew us he would somehow be able to track down our families. So we figured this was the best place for everyone.”

“What are the chances of this guy finding us?” Charlie asked, glancing over at Ky, regretting letting him stay for this based on the look he had on his face.

“Enough we made the call to be here, but not enough to stay in lock down.” Simon referred to the house security system.

“What about the kids?” Ava asked and Simon wrapped his arm around her protectively.

“I would never let anything happen to them.” He assured her.

“If anything were to happen we would all protect you.” John added

Y/N instantly put her hand on his thigh and squeezed as a sign of thank you.

“We’ll make sure everyone remembers the drills your dad used to put us through and stock the safe room. We’ve prepared for this, it was just a different situation than we thought it would be.” Momma Lynn said, her face serious. “You girls know enough to protect yourself and you spent your whole lives training for situations like this.”

“I know it’s just a little different when it’s actually happening.” Emma said and Kyle looked over at her.

“I wouldn’t want to come face to face with all you girls. You’re badasses.”

His words made Emma smile, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

“Keep an eye out. If you see something out of the ordinary, tell us. Someone should always be with the kids. Don’t leave the farm by yourself.” Simon listed out the rules. “We’ll be ok as long as we stay vigilant.”

Everyone sat there looking concerned but nodded in agreement.

“I know this is frightening, and we thought this would be the best place to be. But if it would make you feel better we can relocate.” Y/N didn’t want them to be scared because they were there.

“Not a chance in hell” Momma Lynn said angrily. “The best place for you to be is here, and we’re safer having you all here as well. There’s no way you’re leaving.”

The sisters all spoke up with agreement but Brooke stood up suddenly and Y/N looked over at her.

“I’m going to check on the girls. Don’t be ridiculous about leaving. Obviously having you all here is the best solution.”

With that she left the room and Y/N looked over at Charlie who just shrugged and smiled.

“Best you’re gonna get.”

“True.”

“Is she the oldest?” Kyle asked suddenly and Y/N chuckled.

“Do you think she is?”

Kyle nodded his head and then she looked at Johnny. “What about you?”

“Definitely, she has tha’ older sis sassiness to her.”

Y/N then looked at John tilted her head. He could see a slight smirk on her lips and he had a feeling they were wrong. He looked around the table and thought about the girls and then thought about Y/N’s age. He came up with an answer that he figured was safe.

“Has to be Charlie.”

“Well you’re all wrong.” Charlie said standing up and grabbing some plates from the table.

“Who is then?” Kyle asked.

Charlie motioned her head towards Y/N and Kyle laughed

“No way!”

“By like 3 minutes.”

“Still older.” Charlie smirked.

Y/N shrugged and then looked over at Ky who still looked a little shell shocked.

“Got any questions bud?”

“Are you sure we’re safe?” He looked at her and her heart melted

“I’m sure, bud. I won’t let anything happen to you, I promise.”

She got up and went over to him and gave him a big hug from behind. He squeezed her forearm and then straightened up as if trying to prove he could handle this.

“Ok. I’m not scared or anything, just wanted to make sure.” He said and Y/N swore his voice was an octave lower causing her to smile.

“Of course.”

They all then proceeded to clear the table as Momma Lynn made coffee. They spent the next few hours talking and laughing, the stress of their situation from earlier fading. Eventually everyone started yawning and they collectively agreed to head to bed. It had been a long day for everyone.

John and Y/N made their way to her bedroom, Chewy and Odin following directly behind them. When they closed the door, leaving them alone again Y/N felt nervous. Chewy went to sit on his bed in the corner of the room but Odin pawed at her leg to pick him up. She sat down on the bed with her legs crossed placing Odin on the bed and he instantly went and curled up by her pillow. John sat on the bed next to her.

“Are you still planning on sleeping on the couch? Or have you changed your mind?”

“I still think it’s best if I sleep on the couch.”

He looked deflated but nodded his head in understanding.

“I thought a lot about what you said earlier.” He leaned over to make sure she was making eye contact with him.

Y/N took a deep breath, preparing for the worst and then met his eyes.

“This is salvageable, this is worth fighting for. I know you. Yes I didn’t know about your family but I know so much about you. I know you like horror movies but they scare you so badly you have to sleep with a lamp on. I know you love music and your choice reflects your current mood. I know you read the classics but you also love Harry Potter and those weird ‘spicy’ books Johnny teases you about. I also know that when you’re reading those spicy books you twirl your hair and have a constant smirk on your face that has made me have to leave the room more than once to hide my excitement knowing that you’re definitely enjoying what you’re reading. I know you like to get up early and take a moment to drink your coffee by yourself in the mornings. I know that you need to decompress after a mission but won’t walk away if someone wants to chat. I know you’re constantly trying to better yourself and will push yourself to the limit to prove to yourself you can do anything you want to do. I know you have a massive heart that can’t stand to see anyone in pain, including animals. Especially animals. I know you take a man out from eighty yards and be fine but if you see a commercial with an old couple in love you cry. I know you love fiercely. And I know this,” John pulled her hand over and put it on his chest “isn’t lying when it tells me I love you and I will fight for this. Please fight with me.”

Once again Y/N was left in tears.

“It’ll be hard. We’ll have to take a step back. Rebuild what we once had. Are you willing to do that?”

“I’ll do anything. If you need to start over I’ll do that. I will never hurt you again. I promise. Please Y/N, you’re all I want.

She knew what to say, she knew it the moment her heart broke thinking John was done with this. Now hearing him say all this to her she knew she wanted to fight too.

“You’re all I want too.”

John pulled her into his arms and held her so tightly she almost couldn’t breathe. She didn’t care though, she squeezed him just as tightly. He pulled her into his lap and held her, his hand rubbing up and down her back. They stayed like that for quite a while until she pulled away and stood up.

“I still think it’s best if I sleep on the couch. I’m still not ready to share a bed with you.”

“I understand. Although I wish it was me sleeping on the couch, I understand your reasoning.”

Y/N nodded and went and got ready for bed, washing her face and brushing her teeth. She had thrown on a pair of loose sweatpants and a hoodie and then walked over to the closet to grab a blanket and an extra pillow.

She stood by the door and John was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Alright, goodnight.”

“Goodnight, beautiful.”

She felt her stomach flutter and she smiled.

“Chewy, Odin, let's go.”

Chewy instantly got up and walked over to her and huffed, annoyed his sleep was being disrupted. Odin however lifted his head, looked at her and then put his head back down on the bed.

“I think he wants to stay with you.”

“Well of course he does, we’re buddies.” John laid back up the bed on his side and propped himself up on his forearm as he gave him a small pat on his head causing Y/N to chuckle.

For some reason she was finding it difficult to leave the room. Seeing John laying on her bed stirred something in her but she was trying to force it back down. She wanted the space, needed it; but for some reason her body was having a hard time accepting that. She could see his tanned skin where his shirt had lifted up slightly and the top of his boxer briefs peeking out from his pants. Yeah her body was definitely not communicating with her mind. She shifted her body trying to discreetly ease her core. She had to get out of here before she gave in.

“Alright well if you need anything, you know where I’ll be.”

He nodded and she quickly turned around and left the room, shutting the door behind her. She shook her head and then looked down at herself.

“Really need you to get on board with the rest of us here.” She mumbled to her burning core.
