33 Apocalypse Ave., Monday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

It was a very good morning to be Jack. He'd woken early and disentangled himself from Emma -- which was just one reason it was a good morning -- then crept back to his room to make a call.

Sebastien was fine. A little confused as to where the last three weeks had gone, but otherwise completely himself. From what Jack could tell, the same held true for the rest of his world.

He was more than happy.

Jack went into town, left $50 on the counter at Kwik Stop to cover the supplies they'd "borrowed", and bought one of every pastry J,GoB had in stock. Back at Ronan's house, he started pots for coffee and tea and even prepared to make eggs for anyone who wanted them. He wasn't the cook Ronan or Isabel was, but he figured he could manage breakfast all the same.

In theory Isabel should have been content to spending the morning sleeping in while snuggled up to Wyatt. In reality she was still riding an Oh my god we saved the world, my boyfriend's back and wow now I'm engaged high! As tempted as she was to wake Wyatt up to continue the previous night's celebration, she knew he hadn't slept well in weeks and probably needed the rest. So she slipped from the bed and followed her nose in search of coffee.

"And good morning to you Jack," she grinned as she came into the kitchen. "How are you this fine and wonderful morning?"

"My world seems to exist. Everyone I've checked with except one person is there and well. It's a glorious day," Jack answered. "Eggs?"

He wasn't especially worried that he couldn't get in touch with Kate, not yet. If she'd changed her mind about Japan, he might be working against a huge time difference anyhow.

"Same here. I talked to my parents. They're fine, my brothers are fine. We're supposed to go see them for dinner tonight." She poured herself a cup of coffee then took a seat at the table, all set to investigate the pastry bags.

"I'd love some. I don't think I've had a decent mean since last week when I cooked."

"Are you taking a portal home?" Jack asked. "I haven't quite been brave enough to book that, yet."

He went to crack eggs into a bowl while he talked.

"No, Wyatt's a witch and a Whitelighter," Isabel explained. "And he's got this extremely useful ability to travel between places and dimensions. He'll bring me back so we can avoid Portalocity for the time being."

Oh look croissants! She was so easily pleased this morning.

"Lucky. I should ask Ronan if he can get me back with a Gate," Jack mused, and looked at her hand as she reached for the pastry. "New jewelry?"

If Ronan couldn't Isabel would be more then happy to ask Wyatt to bring him. The members of Nolan Home for Wayward Fandom Alumni needed to look out for one another after all, even if the crisis was over.

She couldn't help but grin, and wiggle her fingers to make the ring sparkle. "Yes. Isn't it gorgeous?"

[bitten_notshy]

"It is," Jack had to agree, one the eggs were stirred and in the pan and he could take a closer look. "Engagement ring, promise ring, or other?"

"It started out as a promise that he'd come back. He stayed on the roof to try and use magic to hold it back so that people had more time," Isabel explained quietly. "He never made it into Special Collections. But now it's officially an engagement ring." Fortunately that thought perked her right up.

"After four years and I can't even tell you how many crises, this just makes sense."

Jack nodded slowly, a bit solemn at the reminder of how close so many people had come to being lost. "Is it presumptuous to hope I'll get an invitation to the wedding?" he asked. "And congratulations. I've barely met him, but he sounds extraordinary."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Not at all presumptuous. We've faced the potential end of the world together in Fandom and triumphed," she laughed. "We're practically family at this point. You're definitely invited. You and Emma both."

[bitten_notshy]

"It does bond people quickly," Jack laughed. "We'll bring a good gift."

"This is going to sound ridiculously sappy, but having family and friends there would be gift enough," Isabel replied. "When you come down to it, that's all that matters."
