Watching Over You

“Watching Over You”
Evelyn's POV

She hadn't been gone long, her death had come right before Christmas. She'd been picking out a turkey to stick in the freezer until the boys could come home. She'd get three of her boys; her reliable, caring Jeremiah, her sweet Angel, and most probably her innocent Jack. Bobby would call and talk to her because he called at every holiday and usually made it home for her birthdays, the day that Jack didn't.

He would call, ask about Jerry, then Angel, and then eventually the conversation would round to Jack and Evelyn would slip into her room to talk quietly. Though, it's not like Jack didn't know. She'd once reported to Bobby that it looked at though Jack hadn't been eating well, that he'd lost weight while he was in New York. Bobby had told her to sneak more food onto his plate and to put a it of caramel into her brownies. Jack had been suspicious all night, but he didn't confront her until later when they were washing dishes together at the sink.

“You talked to Bobby, didn't you.” Evelyn knew that it wasn't really a question, but she also knew that he wasn't accusing her of anything, he just wanted confirmation. She was always saddened when he'd lock himself back in his room later because her elder son was being high- handed and stubborn.

But that was all in the past; all of her boys were finally back together and happy.

Jerry had found a beautiful gift for his perfect wife and had gotten the toys that his little girls had hoped and prayed for. He was getting his business running and earning a name for himself in Detroit.

Angel was in love with the Latino girl that had lived down the street since they were teenagers. He'd been smitten with her since Evelyn had adopted him and now he was finally doing something about it. Angel was nervous, Evelyn could tell. After all, it wasn't everyday that you were going to propose to the woman you loved.

Bobby was sticking around for awhile because it looked like he had finally found a reason to love again. To finally have an excuse to live on the straight... or on the straighter anyway.

And Jacky...

Evelyn smiled when she saw her youngest sit on the couch and then get pulled into Bobby's arms. The proud mother warmed when she saw the blissfully happy look on her Jacky's face when Bobby pulled him closer still and laid a tender kiss on his forehead. As Jack cuddled into Bobby's side, the little black and white mongrel puppy with a red velvet ribbon around it's neck snuggled into Jack's side, happy and warm. Jack only smiled down at it and pulled the adopted pup closer.

...her Jacky was doing fine. It was time for him to finally live.

Evelyn beamed down on her boys. They were all finally happy and settled. Evelyn knew that she'd eventually see them all again, but in the mean time she'd be happy to keep an eye out for them as they started fresh.

Shaking her head in exasperation, Evelyn watched fondly as Bobby threw a pillow at Angel and Sophie and then tried to cower behind Jack when Angel retaliated. Sophie just squealed and yelled at Bobby to leave her fiancée alone in a mixture of English and Spanish. Jeremiah just rolled his eyes heavenward and seemed to smile up at Evelyn for a moment. Well... sort of fresh.
