*It was early. Jake whistled softly to himself as he idly perused an English newspaper.*

*Jamie and Kip snuck up on the out house. Kip was inclined to chuckle, and Jamie silenced him with a wave of his hand.
All at once the early morning calm was broken with Indian war-whoops as they hammered on the sides and door of the out house with their fists.*

"Jeeeezus H. CHRIST!" *bellowed Jake as he finally managed to push open the door and stagger out, still fastening his britches. When he saw Jamie and Kip unable to speak for laughter, his jaw might've hit the ground.*

*Jamie's shoulders were silently shaking with laughter as Kip's boyish guffaws seemed never-ending.*

"You yellow-bellied little..."
*Jake didn't finish denouncing them as he was too busy throwing his arms around Jamie, then collaring Kip into the bear hug.*
"God damn, it's good t'see ya. --What'n hell'r ya doin' here?"

*Jamie's expression darkened and Kip sobered slightly, shaking his head and shrugging, looking uncertainly at Jamie.*
"...there...there was some trouble back home," *said Jamie in a low, rough voice.* "It--it's Pa."
*He reached out to his brother, knowing there would be no easier way.*
"He's dead, Jake."

*Jake swung around, hiding his face from his brothers for a minute, and they let him, knowing too well the pain he had to let himself feel...the pain that must be greater than theirs as he had been absent in their father's last days.*
"What happened?" *he asked at last, his voice low.*

*Jake nodded, rubbing his unshaven chin.*
"Does Liz know?" *he asked quickly.*

"She's still asleep," *said Kip.* "...we...we gotta tell 'er, Jake..."

"Yeah. Yeah, I know."
*Jake turned back with a sigh.*
"You'd best come inside the house. I'll git us some coffee."

"Uh...better let Kip do it," *said Jamie, patting Jake on the shoulder as they went inside.*
"We've all tasted your coffee."

***NEW DAY***
*Jake whistled to himself, fighting back a yawn as he sat listening to the early-morning bird-song and...uh...taking care of business.*

((Uh, well, I watched a Viggo movie last night so I was all "GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH JAKE!" but then I wasn't sure what so, um, he's takin' a crap. And remains hot while doing so. Heh. Nothing really in mind, though. XD))
