Mmh...let's make our favorite dummy definitely dehydrated, shall we Mac? 😗
(... I actually understand how he could forget to drink. I mean, the tea bottle is staring at me, I'm considering putting a angry face on it tho...cause it's staring really angrily)
Ah I completely understand how the dummy gets dehydrated… my aunt gently yelled at me last summer for that…
But here we go!
In Ron’s defense he was drinking things. Just not water. He’s on his third cup of coffee of the day. Really all he’s had the past week and a half is coffee.
He’ll drink the glass of water at dinner but otherwise? Nope. He’s running on straight caffeine.
Ron has been outside all day. He helped Chris fix the one part of the fence so the horses couldn’t leave. Helped Tom plant the trees he bought last weekend. Pushed Jake on the swings until Jake thought he was going to flip over and ran inside for a ball.
He feels tipsy. Not drunk tipsy. But like he’s going to pass out tipsy. Jake comes running back out of the house, behind him the four dogs follow. Chris likes to say it’s a dog for each of them. Ron knows it’s just the everlasting need to have animals around.
Jake skids to a stop in front of Ron. The ten year old has been on a energy trip all week. They can barely keep up. Especially with their deployment looming over their heads. They leave in three weeks.
Ron knows Jake doesn’t hate them for it but god. When they have to leave him and Chris at the airport it’s like something inside of him dies.
“Pa? Did you hear what I said?”
Ron blinks at him. He hadn’t. When did it start getting dark out.
Fuck.
It’s not dark.
That’s his vision going.
“Chickie I’m going to be fine but go get your dads right now.” Ron collapses forward and catches himself on the deck.
Jake stares at him for a second before taking off.
He knows that tone. That’s the I’m being so serious right now one. He sprints off towards the barn where dad was working. Tata is probably with him. “Dad! Tata! Pa passed out!!”
Chris and Tom come running out of the barn before Jake can even get there. They sprint by him. Ron’s dog is licking his face when they reach him.
“Baby?” “Hey come on wake up Sunny.”
Jake is standing to the side. “Do I need to call uncle David and Lucas?”
Chris looks up at their kid. “No baby. He’s fine. Probably just dehydrated.” Tom slaps Ron’s face.
That gets a reaction.
Ron gasps awake. He tries to sit up but Chris shoves his shoulder back down. “Stop it. Lay there. Let everything come back.”
Jake looks like he’s trying to not cry. He’s holding the smallest dog. A chihuahua mix he found in the yard last summer. “Pa? Are you okay?”
Ron sits up again. Chris makes a noise of annoyance but allows it knowing that Ron will do anything to make sure Jake is okay. “Fine chickie. Just forgot to drink water all week.”
Tom stares at him. Ron can practically feel holes being burned into his head. “All week?”
“Pa you ain’t supposed to do that. That’s a terrible idea. It’s how you get hurt!”
Tom snaps his fingers at Jake, “baby you know ain’t isn’t proper grammar.”
Chris points a in Jake’s direction. “What the ten year old with more sense then you said.”
“Come on dummy. Let’s go inside and put you on the couch. You’re gonna drink so much water.”
Tom pulls Jake under his arm. “Common kiddo. That means Batman and reminding your pa to drink for you.”
Jake let’s out a whoop. He likes being able to tell people what to do. Chris likes to say he got that from Tom.
-
In bed that night Ron looks a lot better. Less pale then he was earlier in the day. They didn’t realize it but apparently he was really not okay. Tom is curled up on top of him. Chris is laying behind Ron so he has a way to sit up.
There’s a water bottle on the nightstand that they keep passing over to him.
“Jesus Christ okay enough are you two trying to drown me?”
Chris pinches his shoulder, “you’re not allowed to complain. You passed out.”
Tom tilts his head up to look into Ron’s eyes. “I will ask Lucas for an IV don’t think I won’t.” Ron sighs. He pets a hand over Tom’s head. “Oh Tommy I know you would.”
There’s a beat where they just listen to each other breathing.
“I am sorry though. Really didn’t mean to scare anyone. Thought I was fine.”
There’s a sigh from Chris this time. “It’s fine you know it just be more careful.”
Tom pinches Ron’s nipple. He gets a hiss in response, “if you do this on the carrier I will end you.”
“Love you too baby.”
“I love you too you fucking idiot.”
“I’m not going to call either of you names and I’m just gonna say I love you both.”

one of my biggest wishes for s7 is to see them as family again. the buckley-diaz family but also the 118. s6 felt like they were wrapping up everyone's individual stories and left out big parts of the heart of the show, things they would have shared and talked about but instead went through alone
OK YES!!!!!! I hadn’t even really thought much about this but you’re so right. S6 focused a lot on everybody’s individual storylines and that was great but I rly hope s7 goes back to fleshing out their relationships with each other as opposed to outsiders if that makes sense

i have no idea what’s happening with the don’t worry darling drama but rest assured the moment i see anything to do with it i drop everything. olivia wilde calling anything discussing her and florence’s beef tabloid gossip right before an inside source revealed there were several arguments between the two? wilde apparently cheating on her husband with harry styles and the two of them constantly disappearing on set to make out? wilde calling shia lebeouf leaving “a wake up call for miss flo” in screenshots of her actual messages, even though she claimed that she fired him? the rumours of the pay difference between flo and harry? constantly wondering if olivia and harry actually have pr teams to tell them what to do? flo showing up to venice during the press conference with a cocktail? their stylists vagueing each other on social media? harry referring to the movie as “really feeling like a movie”? harry styles and nick kroll kissing in front of everyone? gemma chan looking beautiful and completely swerving any possible drama mentions? chris pine looking like he regrets all his life choices in every single picture of him? harry and flo both ignoring wilde at the film festival? wild. im probably not even going to end up watching it but i most certainly would watch a film about the making of it
