Salene and Bray:Washing Mr. Stinky Pants(Baby Bray):Shower Room

[_salene_]

Salene left the Extra Cafe area by going through the secondary cafe, their usual meeting area, as the baby smelled pretty stinky and she didn't want to inadvertently ruin anyone's breakfast by parading his stinky pants by those trying to eat. She had just exited, missing Amber but running into Bray carrying a bag, "Hey," she greeted quietly. "You

Salene nodded, she did remember they had TGuns, but she didn't think Ryan had been wearing one. Salene supposed he could have taken one from someone else who had been in the rescue, she hadn't been in the house with them, she didn't know who was doing what, and she kind of liked it that way. "Thanks Bray," she said quietly. At least she felt better, she really needed to stop asking who, where, when, why, how and just accept what she knew as truth. Ryan had every right to be upset with The Guardian, not just for recent events, but for what had happened in their past too, and she couldn't exactly blame him for what he'd done. In fact, she just loved him that much more because she knew it was for her, for them, even if she thought it was wrong to kill someone else, she knew it had been the right thing at the right time

Bray helped Salene wrap his son in a towel then stood back watching as she dressed him, feeling kind of helpless, he should be doing these things for his son. He did appreciate the help of course, but why didn't he have the guts to step forward and just take care of the child like he should? He nodded slowly, hadn't he just told her to stop apologizing? She was right, and he shook his head, looking down at the floor for a moment before looking back up. He opened his mouth to reply to her but he couldn't find the words, what did she mean she admired about him? Flashbacks to their past and Salene throwing herself at him made him blush, "I ah, but you're with Ryan," he said, taking a step back, looking uncomfortable. "I do want to be a good father, Sal, and a good husband to Amber, you're still going to marry us, right?" Bray shifted on his feet, he only had intentions of marrying Amber, though the Tribe was their family, Amber and his son were the most important people in his life to him.

Salene looked up, alarmed, he had taken it the wrong way, and she couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, I will marry you and Amber. I promised her I would and I intend to hold up to that," she smiled, regaining her composure and trying to figure out how to tell him what she was thinking, to calm his fears. "I am with Ryan, you're absolutely right, and we're, well, I think we're reconnecting and finding each other again. I consider him my husband, we've gotten really close again this week," she smiled at the memories. "He's a great father, to children that aren't even really his. My one true regret to this day is the fact that I didn't," how did she put this the right way? "That I fell down those stairs and we lost the chance to be parents to our own child, and that I took away Ryan's chance at a happy life by joining up with the Chosen. I want to make it right Bray, I want to make him happy and give him a family, whatever that means. He makes my heart happy, I want to give back to him what he's given to me, I feel like I owe him so much,"

Bray looked away, embarrassed. Whoops, he hadn't meant to, he'd taken what she'd meant the wrong way, and now he felt like a fool. He listened to her talk about Ryan, a small smile crossing his face, his gut filling with relief. How stupid of him, of course she loved Ryan, he'd heard all about them from Amber, how they had been almost inseparable all week, spending time together redecorating, and not to mention sleeping in the same room. Of course, that hadn't stopped her from...no he wouldn't think of such things, times were different, if Salene was still after him she surely would have tried when they were completely alone. "I'm sorry Salene I didn't mean to imply," he babbled out, blushing and gathering the things she told him to, placing them in the hamper. He took the bag from the shower room and walked towards her in the main part, "I'll take the baby, if you don't mind, actually," he offered, holding his hands out. He tucked his son on his hip, yes, he could handle this. His stomach was rumbling, and he could smell the scent of

Salene gladly let him take the baby, she did have work to do after all. "Yeah, Trudy fed him some waffles, you could try more, but Bray was decorating the floor and playing fetch with Trudy more than eating them I think," she laughed as they walked back towards the cafe, glad to see May and Dax were still there. She had quite a few words to say to Dax, though she knew he really wasn't to blame for Ram being in the Mall, she still wanted to yell at him. Maybe it was some kind of sadistic thing, he wanted so badly to be this body guard, protector of the Mall Rats, Super Dax! It annoyed her, she had been trying to convince him to knock it off, she had nothing against Dax coming with her out into the city, she did feel a bit safer when he and Alex were with her now as the crowds could get pretty rowdy at times, but he'd been stationing himself outside of her bedroom at times, or hovering when she was doing regular things. She'd yelled at him a few times for that in the past week, and now she had even more of a reason to complain. A
