Jackson and his family were stuck at home in Colorado during the enforced quarantine. In the house were his sisters, one closer to his age, two cousins closer to his little siblings’ age, and his mom and aunt. His dad was a doctor working full time at the hospital, coming home maybe 4 days a month. His uncle was in the army and most recently he was stationed at the border between California and Oregon making sure no cars come through to either state.
At first the quarantine was taking a toll on them but after it became a reality that they wouldn’t be getting out any time soon, the family quickly warmed up to each other and grew quite close as a result. Today, Jackson and Morgan helped tuck in the kids while the moms got ready for bed. On his way back to his room after getting some water, Jackson saw his aunt coming Julia coming out the bathroom with a towel around her body.
“Oop, sorry kiddo, did you need to use the restroom? I was just…..drying my hair and lost track of time.”
“Not at all, I was just coming back from the kitchen.”
