“Miscreant or not, you’re probably my favorite person that I know, and the best friend and brother I could ask for.”
Dan couldn’t help the smile that instantly met his lips with her words and wrapped his hands around her. “You’re better because you stick with this miscreant through all the idiotic sh!t he does,” Dan whispered, kissing the back of her forehead before moving it towards Jezebel’s stomach. “you hear the nephew. Your mom’s the best,” Dan practically yelled at her stomach. Whoever imagined this? Dan talking to a stomach… hell, Dan having a sister? Neither was expected but neither was necessarily something Dan would say he never wanted. Perhaps since Charlotte’s death, he always wanted… needed a sister and that’s what Jezebel had been for him throughout the years. Despite the fact that she was his best friend for 10 of those years; she was still there. Every issue… struggle that dan had went through; Jez had always been there and maybe it just took a yelling by Jordan to make him realize such. He loved Jezebel and he always would. She was his family; forever and always… even before she was related to him by blood.
He nodded his head at the taco comment though sighed when she called the baby “they” “Jez,” Dan started, “Repeat after me. Him. Him. He. Boy. Boy. Male. XY.” he stated slowly; watching as she laughed at his sentiments. Though it was soon replaced when she started talking about being terrified, placing his had on her sholder and rubbing her back softly. “Hey… I’m here… I’m not going anywhere,” Dan mumbled, laying his head on Jez’s shoulder. He could sense her worry and from the 3 parenting books he had read over the past few weeks for his own sanity - he knew that stress was not good for the baby. “Look Mikel… he’s a good guy I know that much,” Dan mumbled. “Is he coming today? For the sonogram?” he asked, still rubbing her back trying to make her feel okay.
Though the worry couldn’t be hidden when he revealed the thing about Jordan. He didn’t mean to add more onto Jez’s plate and it seemed that was exactly what he had done. “I don’t… I don’t know why he didn’t but maybe he had his reasons Jez…” Dan whispered, hugging his sister again. “Jordan is usually… of sound mind so I’m sure he didn’t mean to hurt you,” he continued. Though the news kept getting worse with the revelation of blue royalty. Despite her words; he could see she was hurt. “Hey look… do you want me to look into who took points off you. I can get back at them…” dan mumbled. “No one deserves to hurt you and get away with it,” he explained. “And look; no matter what happens, Jez, I"m always here for you. Our dad is always here for you. You’re not going to be alone… ever.” Dan stated before standing up.
“Alrighty come one. Downstairs we go. We have too much to do today to mope around in bed,”
