Drabble: 'Dear Fool' (Teague, Jack, Jamie Turner, Elizabeth)

[dwgm]

OK, this is the last one, I swear, sequelish to Fooled from a couple days ago, with thanks, again, to hereswith for beta reading and suggestions.



~ Dear Fool ~

Young Jamie stood before his mother, cheeks streaked and flushed, tousled head bowed humbly. “I’m s-sorry, Mum. I won’t do it again. I promise!” His lower lip trembled, and he peered up between his lashes, pleadingly.

Elizabeth, predictably, melted. “Oh, come here, you naughty thing,” she said, her own voice breaking, and gathered her son against her.

Jack smiled crookedly and slipped from the room.

Teague followed Jack out, and fell into step beside him. “He’s a rascal!”

“Aye,” Jack agreed. “He’ll think twice next time, though, I reckon.”

“Hmm. Likely so. He’s bright enough. Quick study, too. Tears were a nice touch. Raw onion?”

Jack halted and turned, warily. “You’re not bloody going to tell her?”

Teague lifted his brows. “Jackie! You wound me!”

“Well… all right, then.”

“Doubt if I’ll have to.” Teague grinned at Jack’s expression, then took his arm. “Come along, son. Let’s get a drink."

LOL. Those boys are so BAD! I say thrashings for the lot of them. (Is Teague implying that Lizzie is wise to their tricks in the last line? Because that makes it even better.)

HAH! Perfect! I loved it! So funny, Jack's onion, Teague knowing, "you wound me", Elizabeth's potential to sort it out! OMG! Just wonderful - you've done a fine job rendering them and their relationships.

Raw onion indeed!

It's a good thing Lizzie is so perceptive, or I'd fear for Jamie's future.

Jack halted and turned, warily. “You’re not bloody going to tell her?”
Hee! And now Jack should be wondering how much wool he really pulled over Teague's eyes when he was young. ;)

so very funny! just love your stuff, drabbles and longer stories. since you enjoy writing kids, would you write about jack and his own kid or kids? lots of humor potential there- and i think only artaxtra (spelling?) has done it with jack and his little mary......nan
