|| The Promotion ||

the one where everyone gets a new title

Jake opened and closed his mouth, trying to find the words he had practiced in the mirror for weeks. He chuckled, tears lining his own eyes, “Damn it, I had this whole speech planned- and it’s all just-” He whistled, “Gone.” She giggled a little bit, shuffling a little closer. “Don’t think, just do, Uncle Jake,” Leia said from her position in her mother’s lap, making them all laugh. “Thanks V.” He took a deep breath. “I don’t know where to start, so I’m just gonna talk until something sticks-” “You’re good at that,” Sarah quipped, giggling as she used her shirt to dab at her eyes. He chuckled, and pointed at her, “That, that right there, God I love that. You- God, Sarah you just- you put up with me. There I said it. I know that I’m hard to deal with, sometimes I bring Hangman home with me and it can be a lot. But you take it in stride and you put me in my place when I need it. I love walking in and smelling fresh baked goods, or hearing you yell at the game on the TV. I want to come home to that and so much more for as long as you’ll have me. Will you marry me?” Within seconds of the words leaving his lips, they were met by hers. Mumbling ‘yes’s as tears mixed together and peppermint chapstick was smeared. His hand blindly pulled the ring out of the box and found her hand, sliding the ring on her finger.

Jake sat and crossed his legs, making grabby hands at the box. “You talked this up, so it better be good.” Sarah laughed and leaned on her arm, “Just open it.” She glanced over and made eye contact with Alyssa, sending her a wink and watching her eyes widened. “What do we have here?” Jake drawled, bringing their attention back to him. He pulled out a picture frame. “Looks like an award.” “Read it, Bagman,” Bradley said, eager to know what it said and what that wink was about. Jake laughed as his eyes scanned the words. “Congratulations! You, Jake Thomas Seresin, have been granted a promotion?” He looked up at Sarah, confusion flickering in his eyes. “Keep going Sweetheart.” He licked his lips and kept reading, “You are being promoted from Lieutenant to…” His voice trailed off as his eyes widened, a hand coming up to cover his mouth. “Are you serious?” Sarah nodded and smiled, eyes watering a little. Jake didn’t waste a second dropping the frame onto the carpet and pulling Sarah into his lap and letting happy tears fall onto her shoulder. “Thank you…” “What does it say?” Rooster asked in a whisper, slightly confused by the reaction. Alyssa leaned forward and gently picked up the frame, holding it as Bradley read it. He mumbled the beginning, nodding along as he read. “You’re being promoted from Lieutenant to… Dad.”

For those of you that read J and S, it as been a year since I posted The Promotion

A year since Jake proposed and found out he was going to be a father (and i am well aware that the finn twins are overbaked, i'm getting there i promise 😂)

and i know The Promotion isn't the first part of that series, but it is the part that really kicked things off and it's one of my favorites

Round 2!!! Back in this gym for round 2! The weight of this vision is too big and strong for who I am today, therefore I have to get stronger physically and mentally to be ready tomorrow!!! To carry the weight of what's to come, it requires me to be at the top of my game!!! #youvsyou 💪🏾 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #3amcreatives #disrupterinchief #energyalchemist #triplecoverage #anomaly #driven #audacity #showthemwhoyouare #fuckthetable #bedifferent #forceofnature #motivationalquotes #lifebodygoals #lifting #muslefailure #muslegrowth #healthylifestyle #mindbodysoul #vision #liftersofig #dreambig #fearless #imaginationunleashed #dreambigger https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaW8LjAC0B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1msx3wvsqp7p4

One of my favorite graphics and a reminder that the biggest companies and dreams started in the smallest places. This is a reminder that we must push forward with our dreams and vision no matter how big they are and how small we are starting. If you belive in your vision enough nothing will stop you from accomplishing your wildest imagination! If you have fallen off track, got discouraged, get back on that road and keep going. I can assure you quitting is worse than failing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #3amcreatives #disrupterinchief #energyalchemist #triplecoverage #imaginationunleashed #trusttheprocess #audacity #goodmorning #fuckthetable #bedifferent #anomaly #bedifferent #believe #motivationalquotes #disney #yourstory #soulonfire #apple #amazon #showthemwhoyouare #imaginebigger #dreambig #fearless
