This is just a harmless, pointless AU More like a slice of life piece than anything else.The Drive-In by Littlewing1957
“Hey, let’s take the baby and go get something to eat!” Jack suggested as he joined Ennis in the living area. Ennis was thinking about dinner, but was feeling too tired to cook. His business was really doing well, which meant long hours and back breaking work. He was grateful that Jack wanted to go out to eat.
“Sounds good to me, Bud. Where is Indigo, anyway?” Ennis asked Jack as he rose from the couch. He wanted to see his child and kiss her chubby cheeks.
“I’ll go get her for you!” Jack, excited now, leaving to go fetch baby Indigo. Jack tenderly folded their child into Ennis' arms. Ennis almost burst into tears at the sight of her. He kissed her tenderly, and with Indigo his arms, reached out for Jack. Jack walked into the embrace, cuddled his man and his child.
Ennis was in the mood for burgers and fries, which was fine with Jack. They decided on A&W, the only authentic, 50s style drive-in left in town. The A&W was always poppin’ on a Saturday night, and Ennis and Jack loved the energy. They parked, opened all the windows, and were given menus by a willowy blonde teenager dressed in short shorts and a busy, belly revealing top. The waitress was on skates. Little Indigo was asleep in the back seat.
“I think I’ll have the double burger with cheese and a large order of fries.” Ennis mumbled as he studied the menu. Jack nodded and said he would have the same. The waitress skated over, took their orders and left to wait on the other customers. Ennis and Jack sat and watched the other patrons. Most were large families with well-behaved, eerily beautiful children. The food arrived only minutes later and was placed on a tray that was affixed to the drivers’ side window.
“Thanks, dear!” Ennis told the waitress right before she seemed to float away on her skates. He passed Jack his burger and fries. They ate in silence, so content, and so much in love.
