Considering how cold it had been recently, Jacob was rather shocked when by the second week of October, the weather had warmed considerably and he no longer had to walk around in eskimo gear. Instead, just pants and a regular shirt were fine for a day like this and admittedly, Jacob was happy about it. He hated weather in all forms. He would have been quite happy to wake up one day and find that the earth no longer turned and that meant that there would be no seasons and no weather. Which by the way was really only possible if they got hit by something, so it perhaps wasn't the best idea, never-the-less, Jacob could still dream. Which he did rather often because dreaming was a favoured past time of his, regardless of what Akira might think, dreaming was good for the soul. Though he was really quite logical in his approach to life, Jacob did enjoy taking some time out just to relax and gather himself, of course this often led to him forgetting things and just dropping into his own little world for hours and hours, something that annoyed and concerned Akira in equal measure. Still, Jacob enjoyed the work that he did at NASA, even if it was hard. Working with space flight was his dream job and even though he could no go to space, something else he dreamed of, he still enjoyed helping others get there and was happy to live vicariously through them.
The death of Drake had taken a large toll on everyone, even Amelia had shed a tear at the funeral, though Jacob wasn't actually sure whether it was out of grief or a need to at least appear saddened by the death of her son. Either way, at least she had cried and that was all Jacob really cared about. As long as Amelia did not disrespect his sons name, she was quite welcome to go on with her life without any interference from him. Stepping out of the kitchen with a glass of red wine in his hand, Jacob made his way to the deck in order just to watch the clouds in the sky and whatever else he happened to see whilst he was out there. Kiara would be having her baby in another couple of months, so Jacob and Akira were going to be grandparents soon. Though it was not exactly the ideal time for him to be having a baby, Jacob was glad that they had at least graduated before they started growing as a family. Though they were yet to be married, but that mattered very little at this point. Sitting on the recliner, Jacob smiled as he though about Hazel's wedding. Though it had not gone quite to plan, which he supposed was to be expected after the amount of effort the Kaster boy had put into it, it had ended up being a wonderfully bizarre ceremony. Hazel had looked absolutely amazing and so had the gardens, but still, Jacob couldn't imagine what his niece might have seen in that boy, after all, he was slightly on the side of weirdness, and Jacob wouldn't have been at all surprised is ten years down the track, the boy decided he was gay, because frankly, Jacob wasn't convinced he wasn't, and he should know.
