Setting Up The Search Party

"You're an ass Jack" Kim barged into the room and marched over to where her boyfriend was in the kitchen. Jack jumped at the outburst and spun around, a spatula in one hand.

He stared wide eyed at his girlfriend as she stood there with her arms crossed and a deep scowl on her face. Jack could practically feel the piercing daggers here eyes were sending his way.

"What? Why?!" He sputtered out as Kim walked closer to him, her face right into his.

"You made Kay cry!" Kim threw her arms into the air in exasperation, then putting her hands on her hips. Jack stood there shocked, shrinking under Kim's accusing glare.

The two 17-year-olds were babysitting Jack's little cousins, Kaylee and Nick as he had to and Kim decided to join in. Everything had been going fine until Jack scolded Kay for being too reckless while playing a game of Tag, as she had almost fallen into the raveen that ran by the house.

The five year old took the scolding too seriously as Jack had never yelled at her before and only now the brunet discovered he made his baby cousin cry.

"But I didn't mean to!" He really didn't. He was appalled at the news and wanted to beat himself for causing her tears.

Kim's eyes softened a bit as she stepped back, "Well you did, you jerk" She punched him on the shoulder and then pushed him out of the room and out of the house.

"You didn't need to be that hard on her" she scolded while they walked to the backyard.

"I didn't realize it Kim, I feel horrible" Jack sighed sadly and his ears perked up as weak sobs reached them.

"I know you do Jack but now you have to make her realize it too" Kim put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it just before he went off to comfort Kay.

"Never be hard on kids, Jack" she whispered, smiling slightly.

"They can bring treasure into lives"

Jack woke up with a start and sat up straight on the bed. He was breathing hard and and sweat was running down his forehead, like he had just had a nightmare when actually...it had just been a memory.

Jack buried his face into his hands and gripped his head hard. He had been having too many memories recently and damn it, everything he did as of late seemed to trigger something.

His and Olivia's day out in the rain, little things like just carrying her around and now, even Kim's scolding was back.

This was all so overwhelming and Jack couldn't keep up. He felt like he was falling in deeper and deeper, more than he ever had in the past years and he didn't know what to do.

He groaned and fell back down on the matress, turning his head to look at Kim's photo on his nightstand. He just laid there and simply stared at Kim's smiling face, feeling like he was back to those wonderful days where he got to wake up next to her and look at her until she woke up.

He was no creep, he was just a lover. Her best friend, boyfriend and then husband.

Staring at Kim's angelic face seemed to gradually calm him down as he got to think. Should he follow Kim's old advice and don't be too hard on Olivia? For the record, he was not yelling at her like he had done just a few hours ago but should he just let her do her thing?

Should he actually let his daughter search invain for her dead mother?

Was it actually invain?

Wait...all these dreams, all these memories...did they mean anything? Were they more than just reminiscings? Was Olivia's dream not causal?

Jack shook his head, 'I'm such an idiot' he bitterly thought. Great, now he was actually getting his hopes up.

This was no fairytale. Had it been one, he would've gotten the queen of his kingdom back a long while ago. But was she here, sleeping next to him now?

No, she most certainly was not.

But what's the point in pondering over things now? After his outburst, he probably had scared Olivia off her path and now that she knew the cold and raw truth, there was no way she still thought of it as a game.

He would wake up later in the morning and him and Olivia would go about their day as usual, as if nothing strange had happened over the weekend. He would need to do something to get himself forgiven and he wasn't sure what he had to do to gain that this time.

A chocolate bar to take to kindergarten? A special breakfast and lunch since the poor girl didn't even have dinner? A new toy?

Well, one thing was for sure. If needed, he would let her play.

The sun rays streamed in through the window and illuminated Olivia's room as the little girl hid her face in her pillow to escape the sunlight.

It was Monday, the dreaded start of the week.

Olivia groaned and raised her head, squinting at the sudden light and rubbing her eyes. She let out a huge yawn and threw the covers off herself. Then, she sat up in bed and just proceeded to sit there, her limbs slumped.

After five good minutes of just sitting, she gathered all the strength and her five year old self and got out of bed. She stumbled with every step she took as she made her way out of her room and into the lobby.

Reaching the bathroom, she saw that the door was locked and so, she went up to it and and banged her head against it, waiting for it to open.

She was too tired to even think that maybe she only needed to turn the knob. So she waited, her head still resting against the wooden door.

Click

Olivia didn't react in time to the sound and she let out a squeal as the door suddenly opened, her body falling forward as her forehead missed the support.

Before she could hit the ground though, two strong arms wrapped themselves around Olivia's body, holding her and keeping her from falling.

"Whoa" Jack breathed out, who had reacted quickly unlike Olivia and had caught her in time.

He picked the sleepy kid up and held her close, her eyes opening a bit more as she saw her father.

"Careful sweetie" Jack mumbled, going in to kiss her cheek but missed as Olivia abruptly turned her head to the side.

'Okay she's still mad' Jack sighed as Olivia began wriggling around in his arms, clearly wanting to be put down. After a short while of struggling, Jack finally set her down and she immediately walked past him and to the toilet.

Once she got to it, she wheeled around on the spot and crossed her arms, her still sleepy face morphing into the cutest pout ever, complete with the bottom lip out.

Jack suddenly had a vision of Kim standing there with the same pout on her face, her arms crossed too as she glared at him.

Jack snapped out of it and realized that he had to go out, and so he went downstairs to make that special breakfast.

Once Olivia got downstairs, dressed in blue leggings and favourite button up, she saw her dad setting the last food filled plate on the dining table.

She didn't look at the table but clutched the comb in her hand and went for her dad, who saw her coming and had stopped doing his work. Neither of them said anything as she silently gave him the comb and turned around.

Jack allowed an amused smile to appear on his face as he began combing Olivia's hair, pulling into into two ponytails. So she still didn't want to talk to him but no matter what, needed him.

Olivia stayed silent the whole time, not uttering a single word as she was still mad at her dad. How could he have said such a thing? Just like mommy said, he didn't know what he was talking about about and Olivia was now determined to prove him wrong.

Once her hair was done, Olivia allowed her eyes to skim the table and one by one, she took in what was on it.

Chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries for toppings, a big glass of pomegranate juice sitting by her already filled plate and on the other side of it, a pack of M&M's.

Despite her grudge, Olivia couldn't keep her eyes from widening as they hungrily swept over her favorite breakfast. It was clear that her her dad was trying to make up for last night but she wasn't going to let him off that easily.

Getting over her shock, Olivia cleared her throat and sat down in a chair, starting on her 'deliciously-amazing-breakfast-that-still-would-not-suffice-as-an-apology' as she called it.

But that didn't stop her from warding down every bit of the meal, food knew no grudge.

Jack sighed and sat down to eat too, looking up at his daughter in wonder.

'Just another thing she gets from her mother, stubbornly stubborn' he slightly smiled at his own thoughts, stuffing a forkful into his mouth. While chewing, he thought it was about time to try and make some conversation.

"Auntie Julie is coming over today" Olivia looked up from her plate, her cheeks stuffed and bulging out. Jack bit his tongue to keep himself from laughing.

"I'm working late today so she's gonna come over with Lance and watch you until I come home" He took a sip from his juice as Olivia nodded.

This wasn't a new thing. Julie or Taylor had often babysat Olivia when needed and he had just asked them yesterday for the favour again. Since Julie was on maternity leave, she agreed. They all loved Olivia anyway.

Seeing Olivia was just like seeing Kim again in a way.

"She'lol be picking you up from kindergarten too" Once again, Olivia just nodded as she finished her pancakes.

Jack just sighed and finished up his own. This was going to be a long day.

"Oh and take the M&M's with you" he really tried everything to apologize but obviously, still didn't quite get it. Maybe he could pick up a toy on the way home...

He watched Olivia as she gulped down her juice, pomegranate and not orange because she was unique just like that.

Just like Kim.

Giddy laughter filled the air as kids ran out of the building towards their waiting parents or siblings. Kindergarten was done for the day and the kids just wanted to go eat and play some more.

Olivia walked out with her friend Valerie alongside her, talking about the activities of the day. Once outside, her friend spotted her mother as Olivia spotted her Auntie Julie waiting for her, Lance and Gabe.

Turned out in the end that they'd all be at her house With Aintie Julie watching them until her dad got home.

"Bye Liv!" With a wave of her hand, Valerie ran off to her mother, who greeted her with a hug.

And Olivia watched, just stared from a distance as the mother and daughter began walking off, Valerie's excited chatter being loud and heard by her too.

Oh, how she wished she could be in that same field again with her own mommy, spending time with her and telling her the events of her day.

That way, she would've got her hug too, would've got to see her smiling proudly at her...would've got a mommy to come back to.

Olivia sighed sadly as she began walking to auntie Julie, suddenly feeling a whoosh of wind blow past her.

"Come on Liv!" Gabe shouted as he surpassed her, Lance not too far behind him. Seeing her best friends, Olivia immediately perked up and began running after them, all the way to her pregnant auntie Julie.

"Hey kids! Has fun?" Julie warmly greeted them all with a hug. Olivia hugged her back but didn't feel that warm feeling at all as she instead had always done with her mommy.

A chourus of 'yeah' and 'yes' followed the question as they began walking to Julie's car. The ride home was filled with chatter as the boys made plans for the rest of the day but Julie noticed that Olivia was awfully quiet.

Being a mini Kim, she was never one to be calm and quiet so whenever she was, there was to worry. Julie frowned as she looked at her from the rear-view mirror, but Olivia didn't notice as she was too busy looking outside.

Once back home, they all dumped their backpacks in the living room before turning on the tv. Gabe and Lance rushed around and weren't shy at all as this house was like their second home, but Olivia too her time and slowly did her stuff.

"Okay kids, snacks?" Julie asked emerging from the kitchen. The kids all took something to eat and sat down in front of the tv, enjoying some cartoons.

Finishing her bag of chips quickly, Olivia got up from the couch and looked around for Julie until she found her in the lobby dusting some furniture. She quietly walked behind her and waited for her to notice her.

Once Julie did, she shot her a surprised smile, "Oh Liv! What's wrong? Want something more?"

Olivia shook her head and bit her lip. She had been planning this the entire ride home and had been thinking about it even in kindergarten. She couldn't back out now. It was the only way to start.

"No auntie, I actually wanted to ask something" Julie furrowed her eyebrows as she leaned down the best she could with her bulging belly.

"Oh okay then. Ask away sweetheart" Olivia took a deep breath and fixed her eyes on a picture of Kim behind Julie.

"I just wanted to know...what was my mommy like?" The look on Julie's face was priceless. Olivia saw her visibly pale and her eyes widen. It must have been a blow.

Olivia already knew this stuff from her dad, but it was the first time talking about this with her auntie so she figured this was the right way to start and then approach what she really wanted to know.

"You...okay" Julie rubbed her forehead, seemingly in deep though and finally too a deep breath.

"Okay well, that's easy" She began, shooting Olivia a small smile, "She was just like you. Or rather, you're just like her." Julie straightned up and began walking around the lobby, continuing her work of small cleaning.

"Blonde, fiery, strong minded and strong willed. Stubborn, really stubborn and had a short temper" Julie laughed, a far away look in her eyes as she remembered all those times she used to lunge at people when they pissed her off and how Jack had to restrain her.

"But she was so nice, always there for a friend and making you smile. She was a firecracker, but knew how to be gentle and caring. She loved kids, and she loved her gang. They did so many crazy things together" Julie picked up a photo of Kim and ran her fingers over the surface of tha glass, biting her lip.

Olivia followed closely behind her and listened to everything she said. She also already knew some of their crazy adventures, her dad had a lot of things to tell.

She personally loved hearing those stories, because she got to see a twinkle in her daddy's eyes. Olivia sighed thinking about her father. She was doing this for the both of them.

When Julie stopped talking, Olivia got her chance to finally say what was on her mind.

"And what did they like doing most? Like any favorite hang out place...?" She trailed off, watching closely as Julie didn't hesitate to answer.

"The dojo of course! And Phil's! I swear the mall was their second home" Julie laughed again as she put down Kim's photo.

Olivia wanted to smack her head at her stupidity. Phil's! Of course!

But wait, Phil's is like the dojo. I've been there countless of times, I've never seen her there' Olivia frowned and hoped that there was more to it.

"There was the Arcade, the skateboard park for Jack and Kim and for calmer times, just the park" Julie finished, turning to Olivia with a final smile.

"Hope that is enough Liv" She ruffled her hair and Olivia smiled gratefully.

"Yes, thanks auntie" she hugged her and even kissed her belly. Julie laughed and with that, went to check on the boys.

Olivia stood there thinking it all over. So she had the arcade, the skateboard park and the normal park. Great, now she's could start her seeking.

Yes, Olivia's plan had been to find out her mother's favorite hang out places other than the dojo and then start looking for her there. She'd have to look closely but she'd do it.

All she needed now was a search party. As if on cue, Gabe and Lance came running out of the living room and stopped before her.

"Hey Liv! Wanna play?!" Lance asked with Gabe nodding along. Olivia's face lit up as she stared at her best friends in delight.

They were her search party.

"Sure guys! I have a game!" She said excitedly, clapping her hands. Gabe and Lance turned immediately attentive.

"It's called 'Seek The Blonde'" And then, Olivia went on to explain the rules.

There you go! Hope it was good and stay tuned for the next chapter! And as always, review and tell me what you thought of it!

Thanks and until next time,
