Lincoln nodded again, reassuring Michael that he knew what he was getting himself into, and knew exactly how insane it might have been. It just felt right, and maybe that was actually wrong... but he just couldn't let her stay behind if he had a chance to bring her with.
The door opened and he moved inside the room with his brother, watching LJ reach for the Dr. Pepper in Michael's hand as Kate stood up from the bed, tossing his son a half hearted threat about looking at her cards. Lincoln could see the hesitation in Kate, in her steps in the way she was standing in front of him, and he had a feeling it was because it wasn't just them anymore, it was everyone.
Her smile still showed a lot more of her though, and Linc smiled back down at her easing his arm across her shoulders pulling her close to his body. Not quite an embrace, but just something to let her know that it was going to be fine. Kate beside him, his brother with them, and now his son, for the first time in a long time Lincoln actually felt like something good was going to happen, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
Pulling Kate in a bit closer to his body he kissed the top of her head, letting his hand rub across her back. "You up for a walk?" Lincoln asked against the top of her head, "I mean if you're winning at cards, we can go later."
