Okay guys, I know I am in the middle of another Fic right now but this one has been haunting me for the past week, you see I have multiple books full of Jate Fics and I never get round to posting them so I am hereby pledging to upload all I have, the good, the bad and the not so Skate friendly (my personal faves) in the hopes that your reviews will make my days seem a little bit brighter. Thanks XxXx
He lay there in bed listening as the cars passed by his house. Thier soothing noise was beginning to send him to sleep. After a fifteen hour shift you'd think that he would have had no trouble sleeping but it was harder than you'd expect. He had been back for nearly two years now and his mind was always elsewhere... always with her. He pulled the duvet up over his head and tried to clear his mind,. No matter how hard he tried he could'nt get the images of her out of his head. The moment they met, hugged, kissed... and the moment they said goodbye. Him catching a flight to L.A. and her catching one to Talahasse. You guessed it, after everything she had chosen Sawyer, chosen to go with him and start anew. Although he tried, he couldnt shake these thoughts, images, fellings. He wondered how she was, wondered if she was safe, if she was happy... with him. But most of all he wondered if she thought of him. Whereever she was, he wondered if she lay in bed, her mind transfixed on him...he shook his head knowing he would never find out the answer to that question. That would go down as one of lifes great mysteries.
Realising that trying to sleep was just too hard he got out of bed and went to the kitchen. The big house felt lonely with only one occupant. Its modern decor was offset only by the pile of toys in the living room. He opened the door to the fridge and smiled, a Dora the Explorer doll stared him square in the face. He took her out of her cold isolation and grabbed himself a bottle of water. Walking over to the breakfast bar he sat on a chair and looked into the eyes of the doll...mesmorised. A knock at the door woke him from his trance and taking a glance at the clock he realised who was on the other side of the door.
"10:15 that can only mean... Abby!" he shouted as he opened the door to a small three year old girl whose tight blonde ringlets unmistakenly made her the daughter of Claire and Charlie.
"Uncky Jacky" the little girl cried in excitement, opening her arms so that she could be picked up. Jack bent down and scooped the little girl up in his arms, his nose touching hers as they began what had become thier morning ritual of eskimo kisses followed by a big hug from which both looked like they would never let go. As they entered the apartment Jack still holding the little girl in his arms a young woman follwed, a pink bag in one hand her other clutching onto the hand of a small and timid five year old.
"How is my favourite nephew today?..." Jack asked the little boy as he held up his hand for a high five. The boy matched his actions but his face held itself in a small frown "... Aaron, you okay buddy?" Jack asked placing Abby on the sofa and turning to face his nephew.
"Don't worry about him, he doesn't want to go to School today..." Calire said as she placed the pink bag on the breakfast bar next to Dora.
Jack bent down to face the young boy, his messy blonde hair hanging over his ocean blue eyes, obscuring Jacks view of his nephews face. Jack raised his hand and gently brushed the boys hair back behind his ears.
"You don't wanna go?" he asked watching as the little boy looked deep into his eyes, his head shaking slowly.
"No!" Aaron said, looking back down at the floor where he was drawing circles in the carpet with his green converse.
"You wanna be a doctor like your Uncle Jack though don't you?..." Jack asked, watching as the childs head lifted at the mention of this and he smield as Aaron began to nod enthusiastically "... Then you gotta go to school little man, and i promise... you and I, we will go the batting cages after school today, okay?".
Aaron looked up at his mom as if seeking permission to go out with Jack and when she nodded he threw his arms around Jacks neck and buried his face into Jacks chest.
"Thanks Uncle Jack..."
"Not a problem little man, now go have a good day..." he raised his hand and ruffled Aarons hair. The little boy ran over to his mother. Claire grabbed her sons hand and blew her daughter a kiss before heading to the door. As they reached the door Claire spun round to thank Jack who just waved his hand at her picked Abby up off the sofa. He walked over to the door and Claire smiled. He placed a kiss on her forehead and told her to have a nice day. He fell into this life so easily.. it felt so natural to him. He just wondered why it was he had to impose on his sisters life, instead of sharing this with Kate. He closed the door and took a long look at Abby, she looked straight into his eyes with a love and admiration he had never seen from anyone before, he placed a kiss on her forhead and led her back to the sofa ready to begin thier day.
