A/N: New story! I've got others I should be working on.. but those are annoying me so here's this!
Jack flew through the air on his back, staring up at the sky boredly. "Man, these kids here still can't see me.. I wish I was back in Burgess.." He sighed and rolled over onto his stomach and waved his arm, sending a wave of snow over the little neighborhood. "Well, while I'm here I might as well check on them.."
Jack flew to a small house. He peeked in the window to see a young woman, cradling a young baby. Jack laughed softly as he saw two other little boys run out of the back door to play in the snow. 'So she had another kid..'
He had been watching this family since she moved in when she only had her eldest boy, the boy was around two at the time. In that time she managed to get pregnant again, by a different man, and had had another son. He really couldn't believe she had gotten pregnant again, by a third man. All three boys had different fathers. Jack frowned. The woman was young and rather attractive, her blonde hair was to her shoulders and she had lovely brown eyes. She was petite but had a nice figure. But, her attractiveness was her only good feature. Jack knew from watching her the past few years that she was a cold and bitter woman. Her two young boys often suffered punishments for trivial things. Not only that but the woman was also incredibly irresponsible. She often had male visitors over and locked her boys away into their room for entire evenings.
"I hope this kid doesn't end up too messed up.." Jack peered in closer to the window and smiled softly. The baby boy was cute. His golden eyes were big and he had wispy purple hair, a cowlick in the front made it even cuter. Jack smiled more as the baby seemed to glance his way.
"I wonder if this kid can see me.." He decided to test it out and made faces at the child. Jack's heart warmed as the baby giggled and reached his chubby arms out to Jack.
"We'll play later, kiddo. When your all grown up. Til then, I'll look after you"
He waved at the child before speeding off into the sky, heading back to the North Pole.

True to his word, over the years Jack protected the kid as he grew up. The mother named her child Alex. He was an incredibly happy child. Alex aways played nicely with his brothers and constantly questioned everything, due to his curious nature. Everytime he played outside Jack would be sure Alex didn't hurt himself and prevented any major harm that could happen to the kid.
However, one day, Jack didn't make it in time. And it nearly cost Alex his life.

Jack was flying in that carefree manner of his towards Alex's house, who was currently five. Jack stopped suddenly, seeing an ambulance in front of the house. He felt dread fill his being and hurried to the house. Once he arrived he saw the young Alex being wheeled on a stretcher into the ambulance. He was unconcious and bleeding from his head. His older brothers were cryin and wailing, worried for their baby brother. His mother held them both as they cried, trying to comfort them.
'What happened..' Jack hurried to the stretcher and looked at Alex's pale face. His eyes opened and he looked at Jack. Tears filled the kid's eyes and his mouth moved slowly but silently. He fainted right after.
Jack flew into the sky and sped away, feeling sick to his stomach. The boys words stung him. He couldn't handle the pain in Alex's eyes as he mouthed those words.
