the birds and the bees
by PenAndInkPrincess
Tess, blessedly, comes to investigate his coughing fit. It’s an effort not to toss Ellie over and call it a day.“Everything alright in here?” His partner asks, leaning casually against the doorframe.“Where do babies come from?” Ellie asks, tilting her head back and almost overbalancing herself in the process, saved only by his hand on her back. She extends grabby hands when Tess crosses to them, Tess giving him a wry look.“Curious about the birds and the bees, huh?” She asks, lifting Ellie and then settling on his lap, Ellie still in her arms.He adjusts slightly to get more comfortable. It’s new, this sort of thing, Tess taking the initiative with new levels of intimacy.He likes it more than a little.(ellie has some Important Questions) (and also learns that her family is a little bigger than she'd thought it was)

the past coming back
by mirananananan
“What’s so special about her?” Joel asks, finding his voice after his stare down with the little girl has ended. She has remained quiet through the whole exchange, breathing heavily and clutching to the backpack like it’s going to float away if she doesn’t.“Doesn’t matter,” Marlene says. “You’re capable smugglers. I need her smuggled out. I don’t have any other options. You have to trust me that this is important.”“We don’t smuggle kids,” Tess grits through her teeth.“We’ll do it,” Joel interjects. If looks could kill, the one Tess is shooting him right now would have him dropping dead right where he stands. “As long as we get everything we need.” or, an alternate universe where Joel & Tess meet Ellie eight years earlier under similar circumstances.

“Gonna be here any day now, huh?” The woman asks.“Hopefully,” Maria says. “I’m about ready for them to vacate the premises already.”“Well they’re gonna be a lucky little thing,” F-something says, smiling. “Already got their whole family here.” She winks at her and Joel, including them in a way Maria absolutely never would. “And I’m sure a couple extra pairs of hands for diaper changes won’t go amiss.”Maria doesn’t respond beyond a meaningless, polite smile, but she doesn’t miss how the woman’s eyes go a little tight. It also hasn’t escaped her that Maria’s yet to say “aunt” and “uncle” about them in reference to the baby the way Tommy does. Maria might not be willing to make a scene by emphasizing that she doesn’t want them in her family, but neither is she interested in playing nice about it when she doesn’t need to.It’s a situation Tess can already see blowing up in all of their faces, and sooner rather than later to judge by the increasing swell of Maria’s belly.(tess decides to do something about their dynamic with maria)

juris privati
by PenAndInkPrincess
It’s deeply confusing, emotionally, the rage and love swirling in her, the way her hands want to flex like a cat’s claws against the urge to break a skull apart and the way she wants to pinch her kid’s cheek because her entire issue with a predator’s trap was disappointing her daddy by not demonstrating her jumping, something he only watches in the first place after repeated calls of “Daddy, watch! Daddy, watch me!” She leans forward to kiss Ellie’s head again to buy herself time to get her act together, calming herself incrementally by inhaling the scent of shampoo and Ellie’s own smell. It doesn’t soothe her like a balm the way it usually does, though, not this time.Not when someone wanted to hurt her kid.(after ellie breaks her arm, tess finds out a creepy newcomer has been trying to get her alone) (and then tess Handles It)

“Since when were you a pilot?” He demands before he thinks about it.“Since always?” Tess says lightly, picking Ellie up and settling her on her hip. “This guy’s just a little one. G-165 Ag Cat if I’m not mistaken. They’re pretty old. Must have either been a collector or an old timer with this one up in the sky on outbreak day.” She boosts Ellie up to sit on the edge of the cockpit before getting a foot up on the lower part of the wing and pushing herself up as well.“Did you fly planes like this?” Ellie asks as Tess climbs in with an ease that says she’s not just fucking with him.(joel learns something big about his partner about 10 years late)
