Housewarming Party (open RP)

[a_time_slip]

Today was her housewarming. Janie checked over everything several times to make sure it was all ready.

The house was completely spotless. She'd scrubbed every corner and made sure it was nice and clean for anyone who came by. Every picture on the wall was straight and the furniture all looked picture perfect. She had lots of snacks prepared and a few activities so people wouldn't get bored. Later, there would be a nice dinner.

She wasn't sure where Ian or Kelly were, but as long as they weren't making messes, it didn't matter at the moment.  Everything had to be perfect for the party.

I have an idea. I know. Ian looked at her his words clear and strong. Do you have an idea what that means to me? Everyday I know dying means your life here has no point. Something that is happening to me that I can't do anything about is making all your struggle here meaningless.

Ian was out of words for a time. I don't want to make it more meaningless by making you a widow right after you get married.

Not completely meaningless. You're giving me something I never had before. Don't push me away, please. Don't tell me to leave when we've still got time together. I don't care how little it is.

When we first met, you told me that your relationships don't last very long. I still jumped into this, constantly afraid that you were going to leave me. Then, it grew into something where I didn't care anymore. To where I wanted to be with you. I know nothing is promised to me. To you. I know... I don't care. If I'm going to be a widow- I can't know what I'll do. Please don't give up on this. I won't give up.

This won't be meaningless, whatever happens.

I'm not going to leave. ian walked back over to her.

I do care if I widow the only woman I trust before she deserves to be.

Ian gave her a hug he was panicking about dying again. He sometimes wished the doctors wouldn't speculate about his life expectancy.

She hugged him tightly, and tried not to get too sad over what Ian was saying.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian held her tight. I won't leave you.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

I love you. Ian stroked her back. I don't want to hurt you.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I love you too. She layed her head against him.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian held her close and continued stroking her back. I'm sorry.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

It's okay Ian. I love you.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

I worry about you and Kelly all the time. Ian wasn't exactly worried anymore. This was more about explaining himself.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I think we'll be fine. She's going to grow up nicely, I'm sure of it.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

You can't expect me to stop worrying.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I know.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Just so you know. Ian smiled and kissed her forehead.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She smiled up at him.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Ian was just happy to hold her for now. What did you make to eat for the party?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I made meatballs, wings, finger sandwiches, broccoli puffs and a vegetable platter. Also a fruit platter, and macaroni salad.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Uh.. no wonder you were running around here all day.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

I think I handled it well.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

You could have let us help. Ian teased her a little.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

You and Kelly disappeared at some point.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

UH.. after you told us we were in the way.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

...I told you both that? I'm sorry.

[malcolmeffect.livejournal.com]

Yes, you did.
