Despite the surprise, Josslyn had to smile. He handled Brianna so well. She knew it. She knew he was a great daddy. Of course it probably also helped that Brianna was so enthusiastic. Sure, Cain was an angel and all but the little girl had just walked right up to them and was already reacting as if she had known them for awhile... Maybe being in Heaven had made the little angel-girl trusting.
"It's somethin' alright."
She scoffed lightly at that and nodded. Watching a minute as Cain crouched down, she turned away as Brianna leaned over to whisper her "seceet." Rocking on her heels, she took a minute to think this over. What did this mean for her? Sure, she and Cain had been dating for a while but this...this was like adopting a daughter. Or having a daughter dropped on your doorstep.
Not that she blamed him or Brianna for the situation. But still...jeez. She chewed on the inside of her cheek, looking back as the two of them interacted.

He took to his feet after listening to her. "Well.." He bite at his lip, giving a soft nod. "Guess there's nothin' I can do about it, yeah?" He looked to Josslyn. "How 'bout we finish this Zoo trip with her, hm?" He asked, grabbing for her hand again.
A weapon.. He'd have to talk to Omni, and Dominick about all of this. Why him? Why now? None of it made sense, but if Omni thought he was best suited for the job... Then there was no argueing that, was there? No sense in trying to ignore it, either.
He placed a soft kiss to Josslyn's temple. Unable to think of anything to say...

Josslyn nodded, understanding. This was obviously an order from high, high up. What was he supposed to do about it, right? She leaned into him a bit, just to let him know she wasn't upset with him. Looking down at the little girl, she sighed softly. Hey, it meant that he was trusted upstairs, right? That was good to know.
"What d'you say, Brianna? Do you like the zoo?" She grinned brightly. What little kid didn't like the zoo? "What's your favorite animal?"

Brianna thought about that a moment. "Da tigers. Dey go rawr!" She giggled, holding her arms out to Josslyn. She was getting pretty tired of walking, and she just wanted to be held right now. "Up pwease." She said softly, stiffing a yawn.
He leaned right back into her, his eyes closing a moment. By her telltale signs, he knew Brianna was starting to get sleepy. He looked to Josslyn as she held out her arms to her. He smiled softly, knowing this would work. It would.. It had too...
He wasn't letting love leave him twice. "Ready to go? We can check out the tigers." He smiled softly.

"You sound just like a tiger!" Josslyn exclaimed happily, laughing. "Our little tiger-angel." She tickled Brianna's stomach before lifting her up. Balancing the little girl on her hip, she held her steady. "Up you go. Better, babe?" Josslyn didn't have any younger siblings or cousins she had cared for ever. But she her steady job back in Princeton was at a daycare and she had spent almost all of her free time there. She did love little kids.
She bumped her unhindered hip against Cain's softly. "Let's see these tigers, huh?"
This could work. They could make it work. It would just take a little time. Some adjustment. Although it did sort of promise a serious commitment pretty quickly... But that was okay. Josslyn could deal. It would be fine. They could make it work.

"You sound just like a tiger!" Josslyn exclaimed happily, laughing. "Our little tiger-angel."
Brianna giggled, "Ya! I tiiiiger-angeel! RAWR!" She giggled as Josslyn picked her up. "Up you go. Better, babe?" She nodded happily, resting her head on Josslyn's shoulder. "I seepy.." She yawned softly. "We go sees tiiigers?"
"Let's see these tigers, huh?"
Cain smiled, wrapping an arm around Josslyn, pulling her close and laying a kiss to her temple. "Yeah. We'll go see the tigers." He nodded.

"I seepy.." She yawned softly. "We go sees tiiigers?"
"Yeah. We'll go see the tigers."
Hoisting Brianna a little higher, Josslyn nodded. "Maybe we should head back after the tigers, though." She bounced the angel-girl on her hip and looked to her. "Especially if you seepy." Grinning to Brianna, she turned to Cain. "What d'you think?"
[[S&S, sorry!]]

Brianna's eyes fluttered close, listening to Josslyn's soft voice. She'd never felt more safe in her entire life. She felt peaceful, calm even.
Cain nodded, smiling softly at the little girl. "Yeah. Seems she's already falling asleep as it is." He rake a hand through his hair, starring at the girl. "Brianna... You sure you want to see the tigers today?"
There was no answer, she was out like a light.

"Yeah. Seems she's already falling asleep as it is." "Brianna... You sure you want to see the tigers today?"
Josslyn turned to see that little girl and found her already asleep. She chuckled softly and held her more securely. "Out like a light," Josslyn whispered to Cain, smile on her lips.
"Let's get her back so she can sleep in a bed." She raised a hand, stroking a strand of dark blonde away from Brianna's face. "We can always see the tigers another day."
