[ Yeah! Yancy laughs cheerfully, laughing when he's being swung up. He's wrapping his arms around Raleigh's neck, curling up to his father with a genuine warmth before pointing to his spot beside Mako. I wanna see what happens at the end. If Yancy's curious at Raleigh's question, he doesn't give voice to it.
Mako only smiles, hope and warmth anew in her eyes. It's a good start, right? ]
[Raleigh dutifully goes to where Yancy points, settling in next to Mako with their son on his lap for a few moments before Yancy decides that he wants to squirm off and actually go back to laying on mom's shoulder and there was a time that would have really irritated him, because Yancy's his, his son, he raised him.
But she is his mother, and she's done really well with him since she came back to them and Raleigh wants to be a family with her again.]
[ She knows. She knows that there was a time when Raleigh would be displeased that Yancy liked her, that he sometimes went to her -- and she understands. Raleigh had been there for him longer, in all matters he should be the one his son deferred to. But then he doesn't seem offended now, and Mako can't help realise that things really are changing.

Careful, you might be roped him to watch more than just one movie about these guys.

[ Mako just smiles, and she wants very much for it to be a promise, because this is what they could do together while their little boy grows up. It would be the two of them and Yancy, and all would be well.
It'd be a rocky road to that, but she has hope. Mako reaches over to take her hand, threading her fingers in his to squeeze gently. Over Yancy's head, she says: ]

...I hope it's the latter.
