Set just after their wedding and my last chapter (obviously lol)! I will hopefully write some small fanfictions about their honeymoon because I was a little disappointed once the wedding was over Jack and Elizabeth's romance took a backseat in the series

Once at school, it took a lot of Elizabeth's will power to stay focused on the lessons and the children, more than one time a child had to re-ask a question because she hadn't been concentrating on it. When it was announced that it was time for arithmetic, the usual series of groans and moans followed, and even Elizabeth had to control herself from uttering her own groan. Arithmetic was the very last thing she wanted to be thinking about now when she had many beautiful memories and ideas filling her head because of her new life with her husband.

With relief, for both teacher and students, the end the morning drew nigh, and the bell was rung for recess. Walking out into the sunshine Elizabeth leant against the side of the stair railings in the sun, her eyes on the children but her mind off in its own little world, as she subconsciously stroked and twisted the smooth wedding band on her finger.

"I see you're having about as much luck as me with concentration."

"Jack!" Elizabeth swung around to see her husband right behind her, "I was just thinking of you." She told him, smiling up at him in a beguiling manner.

"And I was just thinking about you! or rather, doing this to you." He kissed her then, which caused some stirring among the school ground and both Elizabeth and Jack broke away from the kiss, a little pink in the face, to the sounds of various "ooooooohhh"s and snickerings from the children.

"Oh dear." Elizabeth laughed, covering her pink cheeks with her hands. Jack took one of her hands and lead her away from the children,

"Don't worry sweetheart, according to Rosemary, whom I happened to bump into on the way here, everyone expects many public display of affection from newlyweds and 'despite some people trying to take the bliss out of wedded bliss with embarrassing comments and looks, you should never be ashamed of your love for your spouse!'" Elizabeth laughed at this quote from Rosemary and smiled softly at Jack as he continued, "And so, my dear Elizabeth, you must forgive me if I do not regret kissing you in front of your students. And I must ask you to forgive me in advance, though there appears to be no one around, but I am going to kiss you again."

Jack did as he said, leaning into the kiss, so much so Elizabeth's back was pressed against the wall, not that she was complaining. The kiss sent stars to Elizabeth's head, and shivers to her toes.

During their courtship Jack had always been very aware of their circumstances and had never attempted to let any whisper of scandal be attached to her, so while she had wanted more affection from him, now that she was married to him she knew their courtship kisses, while perfect, were nothing on Jack's "husband kisses" as she had taken to calling them in her mind.

Elizabeth stared at Jack with a dazed loving smiled on her face,

"That should keep me going through the afternoon!"

"Hmmm I'm not so sure about that for me," Jack said with a wink. "I'd better just make sure." He kissed gave her a quick kiss on the lips as she squeaked, and pulling her to his side he lead them out of the schoolhouse, their arms around each other.

"I'll see you after school?" Elizabeth asked when they arrived at his horse,

"You can be sure of it!" Jack pulled her in for a quick hug, kissing the side of her head, and inhaling the scent of her hair. Why did she always smell so good!? it was one of his favorite things, to kiss her head while she was in his arms, it made him feel like he could protect her from the entire world, and he would always remember her scent - fresh flowers - daisies for some reason, soap and chalk.

"You'd better get back to the children, I think they're starting to gawk again" he muttered softly into Elizabeth's ear, taking pleasure in watching her jerk her head to check and turn bright pink with embarrassment.

"I'll have to have a word with you about purposely making me blush!" she said over her shoulder as she walked back to the schoolhouse with a flick of her hair.

"Jack just laughed, watching her retreating form, feeling immense amount of love, pride and joy knowing that was he wife.
