poisonivory for surviving the weekend
Summary: Jaime finally realizes what everyone else already knew.
“-and the Posse may do things that are slightly maybe just a little possibly illegal, but they’re just trying to survive within their means and they don’t hurt anyone so it’s okay to just let them alone. Unless they’re actually hurting someone, then you can-“
“/Alright, alright, I get it/,” Booster said over the phone. “/This may come as a surprise to you, Jaime, but I have been doing this superhero thing for some time. I think I can handle watching the place while you’re on your school trip./”
Jaime had the good grace to sound sheepish. “Sorry. I mean, I know and all, I’m just... El Paso means a lot to me. I just want to make sure it’s looked after properly and that totally sounds like I don’t trust you but I really, really do or I wouldn’t have asked you in the first place.” Jaime put a hand to his face and studiously ignored the way Paco was laughing at him. Brenda, driving the two to the train station, rolled her eyes at them both.
“/Don’t worry, I got this. If there’s any problems, blah blah blah./”
“Right. I’ll, uh, I’ll check in with you in a couple days, then?”
“/You do that/,” Jaime could hear the amusement in Booster’s voice. “/Have a good trip, Mom./” The line clicked off, leaving Jaime to blink at his phone.
“Well?” Paco asked, leaning back to look at his best friend. “Did he promise not to throw any wild parties while we’re gone?”
Jaime still looked confused. “He called me ‘mom’ and hung up.”
“So?”
He frowned. “Why would he call me ‘mom’?”
Up front, Brenda and Paco exchanged looks. “What,” Paco asked, “you saying you never realized it before?”
“Realized what?”
“Dude. You’re a total mom.”
“What?”
“Second coolest mom ever,” Brenda chimed in.
“I am not a mom!”
“Please, you were a mom before you even got the scarab.”
“Remember when we went on a hiking trip in middle school? Who was the one that thought to bring baby wipes with them?”
Jaime looked at his two best friends with a growing sense of horror. “But... oh God, I am a mom!”
Dipping her head to give Jaime a look in the rearview mirror, Brenda stated, “You say that as if it’s a bad thing.”
“Nonono, it’s not, I mean, just...” realization hit Jaime and his hid his face in his hands. “When Eddie gave me flowers and a card last Mother’s Day, it was a joke on me, wasn’t it? Oh man, I thought he wanted me to give them to my mom! No wonder it said ‘To: Jaime’ and not ‘To: Jaime’s Mom’...”
Brenda and Paco didn’t stop laughing for the rest of the ride.
