Prompt: A small mountain town finds themselves welcoming a new resident and his daughter, but what effect will this have on the other residents? On you? Welcome to Crawford. Word Count: 1062 Warnings: Just some fluff.... Author’s Note: Part 6!

@wonders-of-the-enterprise, you’re amazing and this header is amazing!

Masterlist

You hadn’t been expecting it, but when Leonard brought his mom to pick up Joanna with him you were more than pleased. “You must be Y/N and Oliver, it’s so good to finally meet you.”

“Mrs. McCoy, Leonard was so excited that you were coming.” The women wrapped her arms around you in a quick hug and pinched Oliver’s cheek, something you thought only happened in movies. “How do you like our little town so far?”

“Beautiful, very beautiful indeed. I can see why Len picked it, he’s always loved mountains.”

You mentioned how there was a trail somewhere nearby for some hiking but with the snow coming it would be closed up soon. “Oliver and I are going sometime soon, he only makes it a little bit up the mountain but it’s fun for him.”

“Len is making a fantastic dinner, barbecued pork! The sauce is all the way from Georgia. Why don’t you and Oliver join us? I’m sure Joanna would love it.” You weren’t sure if she was more excited for her granddaughter to have a friend, or for her son.

“Mama, relax. Y/N’s already been invited, they’re coming over a little bit later.”

Saying goodbye you ran Oliver home and gave him a quick bath, knowing that you’d be at dinner later than usual.

In the car ride home, Joanna talked all about school and what she was learning, but the moment she ran upstairs to get ready for dinner Leonard found his mother staring him down. “How long have you been here?”

“About a month I think, why?”

She followed him out into the backyard deciding to talk while he was lighting the grill. “And how long have you known that nice young lady?”

Dropping his head Leonard found himself laughing. “Mama, please don’t do this.”

“I saw the way you looked at her Len, you invited her to dinner with us in advance! Don’t tell me that you don’t like her.” When he didn’t answer her eyes lit up. “You do like her.”

“Mama, please don’t do this. I haven’t said anything about it to her, it’s not the right time.”

But that didn’t stop the matron, and Eleanora placed her fists right on her hips. “Is this about whats-her-face?”

“Jocelyn has nothing to do with this.” Bringing up his ex-wife was never a fun experience, especially since his mom had such strong feelings about her. “Her husband died a few years ago, just because I’m ready to move on doesn’t mean she is.”

Knowing that she was right, Eleanora moved for the stairs to go help Joanna. “I guess you’ll never know until you find out, then.”

Leonard was out back flipping the vegetables when you arrived, he only knew because Joanna and Oliver flew through the door ready to play. “I asked your mom if there was anything I could do to help and she said to bring you this.”

The beer was cold, it had come right from the fridge. “That was nice of you, cheers.”

Ignoring the smirk from her Leonard decided instead to talk about how a bunch of equipment was arriving the following week. “So you’ll be able to do x-rays now?”

“Sure will, I really should get a nurse who knows how to cast but for right now it’s a start knowing if a bone is broken or not and being able to splint it.”

When the food was almost ready and the kids were called to wash up, you found a way to help by setting the table and getting drinks for everyone. “Mrs. McCoy, what would you like?”

“Oh please peaches, call me Ellie.” Her smile was infectious and when Leonard came back in carrying a platter of barbecue he couldn’t help but join in.

“What are you two going on about in here?”

Ellie took the silverware out of your hands and passed them along to the kids to set up. “Actually, I was about to ask what Y/N does. Tell us all about you dear.”

“Mama…”

You shook your head at the warning tone. “Right now I’m waitressing at the diner, there isn’t much around here as far as job prospects go unless you work on one of the farms.”

“Couldn’t you take over some of the management of the farms though? That’s what you said your degree was in, right?” Ellie looked between the two of you smiling. “I’m sure at least one of them needs managed.”

“Most of them are owned and operated by the same people, they wouldn’t give that up. Those animals the ranchers have are their livelihood, no way they’re going to let someone else run it.”

Leonard shook his head almost disappointed at the idea. “Even someone with a degree like yours.”

You spent the rest of the meal telling them about your time on the East Coast, how you had managed with school, and what you did in Boston after graduation. They told you what it was like in Georgia and you compared the weather easily enough.

“Have you ever had fresh peach cobbler Y/N?” Shaking your head no Ellie looked almost shocked. “Next time I come I’ll have to bring some peaches and make it for ya’ll, I know Joanna loves it.”

Leonard brought over refills for the three of you and decided to shift the conversation to tell his mom about all the things the kids had done together using the laughter from the family room as an example.

“We should get going, Oliver has the day with his grandmother tomorrow so he needs some sleep.” Saying goodnight and thanking them for dinner you drove home.

Joanna was humming to herself playing with her dolls and Ellie took her chance. “Tonight was nice.”

“Mama, please don’t try to sell me on the ‘being a family’ thing.” Her eyes widened and Leo nodded. “Uh huh, I know your tricks. Stop meddling.”

But when Leonard crawled into bed that night he stared at the ceiling for a while replaying dinner over in his mind. It had been him and Joanna truly alone for the past year, but it had been them against the world for so much longer. Now that they had you and Oliver it felt like things were changing, like he was finally feeling that piece he had missed filling back up.
