Hey guys, I just could not sleep last night, so i wrote this for fun at 2 am, so if it's horrible blame fatigue, lol.
On December 13th, Kate Austen walked into the house, she'd spent the whole day looking for some toy Aaron wanted for Christmas, it seemed like every store was sold out of this toy. She sighed just glad to be home as she placed her purse and coat on the chair, Walking further into the kitchen.
"Jack? Are you home?" She yells
When she reaches the stairs, she sees Veronica walking down with her finger to her lips "Aaron's asleep" She told her when they met at the bottom of the stairs.
"What are you still doing here? Where's Jack?" She asked slightly confused at why she was here so late
"Jack isn't here, Kate" She said simply with a small smile
"Where is he? Did something happen at the hospital?" Kate asked quickly, feeling a little uneasy all the sudden
"Don't worry, everything is fine, I'm sorry I don't know where he is, he came back and asked me to watch Aaron for the night" She said, and began to walk towards the kitchen, she reached the island and picked up a folded piece of paper, handing it to Kate "But he did ask me to give you this"
Kate eyed the paper curiously before accepting it in her hand, slowly unfolding it to reveal Jack's handwriting inside, she had to inspect it closely, doctors always had such messy writing. When she finally made out what it said a confused smile graced her face.
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….."
"What is this?" Kate questioned, Veronica laughed a little and leaned forward to turn the paper
Meet me at the beach
Love Jack
Kate shook her head lightly and laughed "What is he up too?"
The women in front of her smiled, shrugging slightly "I don't know but he seemed pretty excited about it when he left"
Smiling to herself she nodded" You're okay to watch Aaron?"
The women nodded "Go find out what your fiancée is up to"
With a smile, Kate grabbed her jacket and headed to the, driving to the beach, wondering how she's going to find him once she gets there.
She reached the beach, parked the car and started making her way to the sand. Before she got to there, she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, a pair of soft lips touching the skin on her neck, then a familiar sound
"I'm glad you could make it" He whispered in her ear
She smiled and turned around in his embrace "Well, you were being so mysterious"
"Sorry, I wanted it to be a surprise" He smiled, bending down to kiss her gently, taking his time with it before she pulled away
"What's the surprise?" She asked, eyebrows raised
Chuckling "I thought it would be nice to take a late night walk on the beach" He said "You know, like we used to"
The smile now permanent on her face grew wider "I think that sounds great"
He took her hand, walking backwards and pulling her to the water's edge. They walked hand in hand down the water
"So what's this about Jack?" She asked "The letter you left at home?"
"It's the Twelve Days of Christmas Kate" He teased
She swatted him playfully on the arm "I know that, Mr. Funny, what does it have to do with tonight?"
He shrugged "Has anyone ever told you, you're hard to buy for?"
She gave him a confused look "Well you are Kate" He said "So I thought, the twelve days of Christmas"
"Can you elaborate on that one Jack?" She laughed
He decided that they'd walked long enough and pulled her down to the sand with him. He sat with his legs up and his arms wrapped around her body, she sat between his legs, her head rested on his chest, facing the water.
He bent his head to rest on her shoulder "I'm going to give you something; I don't even what yet, but for the next twelve days there's going to be something waiting for you"
"So tonight, I got one handsome doctor?" She teased
He laughed and blushed a little at her comment "Actually I was going for one late night walk along the beach, but feel free to change it around"
She laughed, tilting her head to look at him "I love you, you know that?"
He smiled "I know, I love you too, so much"
They share a kiss that soon led to another one, and another. Until they realized they were still on the beach and stopped before they loss the control to stop it. Getting up from the sand, they started to walk again,a few minutes in Kate insisted that Jack carry her the rest of the way, wrapping her legs around his waist, he gave her a piggyback, by the time they reached the little strip along the beach, it was almost midnight.
Jack pulled her into an ice cream shop, removing herself from his back, but quickly linked their hands for contact. They ordered their ice cream, Jack got Chocolate Mint and Kate got Bubblegum. When Kate left the counter to look around, an idea came to Jack and he looked at the young girl working
"Can you make the Bubblegum, two scoops" He asked politely, receiving a smile from the girl
He paid for the ice cream and brought it over to Kate, pressing his body to hers from behind her, he looked at his watch as she reached for her ice cream in his hands
"Wait Kate, one minute" He laughed
The time on his watch switched to 12:01 and he gave her the ice cream, she gladly accepted and took the first lick. Jack took out the receipt for the ice cream and borrowed a pen from the worker, on the back he wrote
"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me"
"Two scoops of ice cream" He told her, receiving a giggle from her
She kissed him softly before raising her ice cream to his lips "Want to taste?"
He tasted hers and offered him hers, before they made their way back home to continue what they couldn't finish on the beach.
I gave Jack, chocolate mint ice cream because, well it's my favorite! lol :P
