Work Text:
Jen was watching Judy and Henry dancing around the kitchen, the faint sound of the radio and the sizzling of pancakes on the stovetop in the background.
This had become an almost daily occurrence in the Harding/Hale household since Judy had moved in permanently. They were still trying to keep their fairly new relationship under wraps, trying being the key word, both the boys 100% knew but were yet to broach the topic with the older couple.
As Charlie came downstairs to join them, Jen made her way into the kitchen to say her good mornings. Henry made a comment that made both her girlfriend and other son burst into laughter and if Jen was completely honest she didn’t hear a word of what the younger Harding said as her ears were focused on the song currently playing on the radio;
I guess the only way I could describe it,
It’s like hearing a love song and jumping inside it
So this is happiness, yeah this is happiness
If this happiness, I don’t mind having this
Jen’s heart warmed at lyrics she was hearing, as she looked around at her family; she couldn’t help but feel gratitude for every single thing that led them to where they were right at this very second.
Jen hears Judy ask if she’s okay and Jen replies earnestly,
“I’ve never been better”
