Well, once, but that had been when they had found out they were having twins and any reactions to that news are justified, he thinks. Cursing under his breath, he eases back from Jake like he's been burned, his hands and lips to himself as he wonders what the hell he's supposed to do. He doesn't understand what Jake wants and Jake won't talk to him. He pushes himself from the bed and heads into the hall because he needs to pace and think.
Thinking turns to a phone call, waking Jake's sister late and murmuring the issue, begging for advice on what he can do. When even she admits that he has to be patient, Cougar goes to the kitchen. He can't be too loud or he'll wake the kids, but he starts to slice ingredients until he knows what he's doing. It's breakfast and he works on making the stuffed french toast with strawberries and bananas, trying to think as he works.
Years and years, but he still doesn't know what to do when Jake goes so quiet. And all of this, all because someone wondered why they weren't married. Why is it such a big deal that they don't, Cougar wonders? Maybe he's been too stubborn and it is all his fault.
