Asher Jacobs & Timber Lehmann

I had Adam in my arms and had just laid Amelia down for a nap when I heard the knock. I went over and opened it up. "Hey, come in. Are you feeling better?"

I came in and shut the door behind me. "That depends on your definition of better. I'm fine. I have good news actually," I said quietly, trying not to talk too loud, I didn't want to wake anyone.

I smirked. "Yeah? What is it?" God knows he deserved it more than anyone.

"Aurora and I decided to get married today. So you feel like suiting up to be my best man?"

"Seriously? Damn, it's about time. You know I will." I smiled "Congratulations, Q."

I smiled a little. "Thanks. I knew you would. It's not gonna be anything fancy. At least I hope not. You know the women get though."

"Let them have their fun, they deserve it. I guess that explains why they came by and swopped Timber up for a little bit."

"Yeah I can imagine. And you're right, they do. That's why I'm not getting in the way or anything. How is she doing? She just had the baby."

"She's doing good, she's just taking it slow. Linna is...um...still here so she went with her."

I nodded slowly. "How is that whole... thing going?"

"It's going, I guess. I talked to her before I came to find you. She's been through a lot and she's Timber's sister so we're getting along."

"Damn, did hell freeze over? I'm kidding. I'm glad. I know it has to be hard for you though."

"I don't think it will ever be easy. I have a hard time trusting her still but I did close my eyes last night while she was in the same room. That's progress, right?"

"Yup. I think you being able to sleep in the same room with her, and not be afraid she's gonna wake up and kill you, is definitely progress."

"I feel guilty about being around her and not..I don't know. I feel guilty because of Jo. Does that make sense? Linna murdered her right in front of me, yet here I am...acting like nothing happened."

"Of course it makes sense. And you told me... she wasn't in her right mind when that happened. Cade even admitted he brainwashed her. I know you feel like you have to get revenge somehow but... in a way you did. You killed Cade. He's really the one responsible for what happened. She was just his puppet. Besides, you're with her sister. Your son is her nephew. You're... well you're family now man."

"I know. I really did take pleasure in killing that bastard for Timber and Linna. I did a lot of thinking while Sebastien and I were making our way back there. I forgave her for everything a long time ago now."

I nodded. "That's good. So what's the problem now? Is it just awkward or what?"

"Yeah...awkward is a good word for it. That and I still feel like she's on edge around me. Hell, I don't plan on killing her anymore."

"Can't really blame her for feeling that way though."

"Nope. So where you going next?"

"Round up the rest of the boys I guess. And pick a clearing to do the ceremony in. Fuck, who's gonna perform the ceremony? I don't know if I can come up with vows and shit off the top of my head."

"Hell, I have no idea. I've never gotten married before."

"Well fuck. Should I just try to... fumble my way through it or what? That's gonna go over well."

"You aren't going to fumble or fuck it up. Just tell Brown Eyes how much you love her, simple as that."
