So thank you all that PM, to see if I was still alive it means alot to me.
So here we go Chapter Five, Lions Den
Their plane had landed an hour ago, it was two in the morning, and Kate was a little nervous about meeting the people that Jason considers family. He grabs her bag from her while he haves he's duffle strapped to his back.
He senses her hesitation. " Mi vida, I promise there is no den full lions in there, that's waiting for me back in D.C" She gives a little smile while checking her watch.
" I know...but it's late...maybe we should...are you sure they know I'm coming" She asks, when the door swings open to reveal a woman with short sandy hair.
" You're late" Jason takes a step back. "There was traffic" He says while placing kate's bag down, the woman smiles pulling him into a hug, before letting him have it causing Kate's eyes to widen.
" what were you thinking, do you know what you put us through..." Jason was going to say something, but she raises a hand not wanting to hear it.
"You can explain yourself to Ally" She says before kissing his cheek. "and I'll be there to see what she haves to say about everything" She says, when she finally notice Kate behind him.
" Who's this" She says in a manner that caused Jason to send her a warning look.
She makes a face at him "Lexie this is Kate, and you are going to behave yourself" He says in a hush tone, causing the woman to stare at him, in a way of saying oh really.
" Kate, this is my friend Lexie" He introduces before whispering something to Lexie. "It's nice to meet you, please be warn that I get even," She says with a smile, causing Jason to stare at her with a smile tugging at his lips.
"I never thought I see the day, when someone is willing to go against my wife" A man with chocolate brown eyes says, Kate smiles, his eyes were familiar, and his curly brown locks were just shouting out at her that she knew him.
" Hello, you must be Kate, I'm Aaron, I see my wife is making you at home" He's Australian accent shining through. Kate smiles " Like I don't want to leave" Lexie rolls her eyes while her husband smiles at the younger woman before him.
Aaron turns to Jason. "You okay mate" Jason rolls his eyes hiding a smile. " You still live here, " He says before hugging the man. "I told you it was a long lasting relationship" Jason sighs.
"Don't remind me" Kate smirks, when she finally realized where she met him before. " So Jase do you make all your marines sing.
Aaron scratches the back of his head. "You remember me" She nods smiling. Lexie stares at her with judging eyes.
Aaron sends his wife a look "Baby, can you let her in, it's rather chilling outside" Her husband asks causing her to roll her eyes.
" Please come in" She says leading her into the house, Jason wraps his arm around his girlfriend. "I got your six" He whispers to her, before kissing her cheek.
She smiles "so, they knew I was coming" she says in a hush tone, "Maybe, everyone else except for Lexie, has you can see she's ...Crazy" He says in a hush tone causing her to smile.
"You're late!" They both look down at a seven year old little girl in pink P.J, her hair was in messy pigtails, causing Jason and her parents to stare at her.
"Baby, what are you doing up" He asks, before picking her up hugging her tightly, he kisses every inch of her face causing her to giggle.
"Waiting up for you" She says with a smile, before her eyes fall on her uncle's girlfriend.
" who's she" She points to Kate bitterly, Jason raises a brow. " My friend," He says before he gives her a look. " I came all this way to see my little girl, and she's being mean to me"
She pouts, "I missed you little girl" She rest her head on his shoulder. "I missed you too" He smiled before kissing the top of her head.
He places her down."Love bug, I like you to met my friend Kate, Kate this little angel that can do no wrong is ally" Kate smiles. "It's nice to met you, I've seen a picture of you, but you're a lot prettier in person "
The little girl forces a smile"Thank you, it's Nice to meet you too...Uncle Jason, you want to see what I did for the art show at school" She grabs his hand before dragging him upstairs.
Aaron gives her a little smile. "She's a little protective of her uncle," Kate smiles "She doesn't like sharing him does she" He shakes his head.
"Nope, but if she likes you, she'll learn" He says while staring at her tired expression.
"I'll show your room" He says leading her to the stairs Kate looks around, she noticed the two mouthing something to each other.
" You know, I can read lips " She says turning to the two who mouths were open but nothing else came out.
"Wow, that's the first time I ever since Lexie at a lost of words" She turns around to see the man who just walked in. he had copper skin, with dark chocolate eyes, his hair buzzed cut.
" Hi, I'm Marcus, Jason friend, you must be, Kate. Jason has told me a lot about you" she smiles at his scrubs, that had his name tag from children hospital.
" So the group consist of two marines, a doctor..." Marcus chuckles staring at lexie. "If you believe me, she's a child psychologist. " She stares at the woman who has studied her since she walk through the door.
"I believe it," She says when they hear a baby cry."I'll be right back," Lexie says before running upstairs.
Aaron waits until she's upstairs. "I'm not apart of this group, I married in..." She giggles while Marcus rolls his eyes.
"and my wife she's protective of Bourne, always has been. so don't take it personally" She gives a smile. "I don't scare easy, and honestly I kind of like her for it" Aaron shakes his head. "You are going to start a war" Marcus says with a smile.
Kate smirks. "Only if I have to, I protect what's mine," Aaron and Marcus looks at each other. "Bourne knows how to pick them" They say at the same time causing her to smile. " Talking about Jason, I know you guys have stories about him I want to hear about"
Marcus smirks"Many," Aaron leads them to the kitchen. "I'll make the coffee"
Jason stares around her room, "I see you still love to draw" She smiles at all of her drawing on the wall. "Yeah, and I don't draw like you anymore"
He chuckles "So you are past stick figures" She nods smiling, when Jason stares at a drawing of a gunnery sergeant, and a little girl who had a sign that said welcome home.
" Is that me" She nods sadly, " I made it for when you got home with daddy, but you didn't come back" He felt like someone punched him in the stomach. " I'm sorry, I had to take care of something"
She nods, " Daddy, Said that you had to help someone" Jason gives a weak smile. "Something like that," He goes over to the picture-taking it off the wall.
"Can I keep it" She smiles "It's yours, " He kisses the top of her head. "Thank you, you know my friend Kate draws amazing, maybe you and her could..." She makes a face, causing him to sigh before leaning down to her level.
"what's wrong" She gives him puppy dog eyes. " I don't like her" Jason gives her a look. " you don't know her" She crosses her arms across her chest.
" I don't need to know her" She says, with her mother 's stubbornness. " Baby, give her a chance she's really nice, Please for me" She bites her lips looking away.
He tickles her sides that makes her break into a fit of giggles. "Please," She nods, he smiles "That's my baby, now time for bed" She sighs "But..." He scoops her up.
"It's late, you should have been asleep hours ago, I'll be here in the morning" He says while dropping her on the bed, he tucks her in. " Goodnight my princess" She smiles "Good Night, uncle Jason, I'm glad you're home" He smiled "Me too, I missed my baby"
"I'm going to be eight, I'm not little anymore" He nods " Maybe, but you're always my little girl, who saved me" She smiles " I know " She says softly, while closing her eyes, he turns off her light. He closes the door leaving it just ajar, when he hears his friend humming a melody of a song he used to sing to ally.
He walks into the room to find lexie rocking a baby to sleep. "Is this him" He asks causing her to look up smiling.
" Nickolas, I want you to met your uncle Jason" He smiles while she places him gently in his arms. "Hey, buddy, you look like your dad" Lexi smiles, while gently stroking her son's head.
She stares at him with concern eyes, he doesn't met her glance. "I'm fine, Lexi I don't need you in my head" He says, while he rocks his nephew back and forth.
" I just wanted to let you know I'm here if you need to talk, couch aside just me has a friend" He smiles "I know lexi, but I'm fine...how's Amy and the kids" Lexi gives a weak smile.
"Hanging in there...She doesn't blame you Jason, neither do the kids" She says which causes him to bit his cheek. " How's Eva lexi looks down at her feet.
"She's taking it hard, but the kids keep her going" He places the baby in the crib that had Nicholas written over it.
" Jason, I know how close you two were, it's okay to..." He kisses her forehead. "Lexi, I'm fine"
She sighs "You can't hold it all inside forever, it's going to kill you" He smiles "You'll revive me"
She smiles "You can beat your ass on that...Kate " He gives her a look. " She's off limits to the lexie terror" She laughs before turning serious, "We'll see..."
Kate couldn't stop laughing. "Okay, I got him into a fight, but I gave him a fighting chance, so was the saying true the harder they fall" Marcus nods holding in a smile. "Yes, but he land on him," Kate laughs, while Aaron pours her some more coffee.
A man who barges into the kitchen, where he drops his briefcase on the floor. " Where is he, huh, did anyone tell him something for taking another tour without telling us," He rants loosening his tie.
" huh, a year, without us knowing if he was alive..." He's blue eyes finally settles on Kate who just sends him a little wave. " Hi, i'm sorry, you must think I'm..."
"Crazy no, I let him have it when he got to my place..." The man smiled walking over to her" Kate?" She nods with a smile causing the man to smile brightly, unbuttoning his dress shirt to reveal a white t shirt that says team Kate causing her to smile. " Team Kate, at your service, if you need help with lexi just let me know..." He says, before buttoning up his shirt again, he was light complexed with dirty blond hair with Clark Kent glasses.
" I'm joey by the way" She smiles "Oh, you're joey " he gives her a look. "What did he say about me" She smiles "Nothing, just I've been wanting to meet you" He gives her a look. "Yeah right what did he say"
"That you are a pain in the ass, but you're the most likable person in the group," Joey turns around to see Jason walking in with Lexie.
"Excuse me" Joey says to Kate before charging Jason who's eyes widen, he jumps on him wrapping his legs around him.
" Joey!" The man hugs him tight. "where the hell have you been" Kate smirks "I kind of did the same thing, but I think joey is a little more upset" She whispers causing the men to laugh, when a man walks up behind Joey who was still on his friend.
"Joey, let him go" Joey release the man.
"Hey, he's the brother I never had back from a war zone, I need to get out these emotions" He says to the man who glares, Kate turns to the two who mouths his brother causing her to smile.
"Joey, what did I say about repeating what I told you when we were growing up"
Jason hugs the man. " How's Jess and the kids" the man smiles "Good, She'll be by tomorrow, with the three terrible boys, who misses their babysitter"
Jason rolls his eyes before turning to Kate. " Kate this is my friend Nathan, Nathan this is Kate, please show her there is a sane one out of you guys"
Nathan smiles "Nice to met you, have we scared you yet" She smirks "No, it's takes a lot more to scare me off, "
Nathan smiles "Sounds like a challenge" He says when Jason takes a seat next to her.
"That depends if you're up for it" She says before taking a sip of her coffee.
Joey smiles "I like her, she's spunky" Joey says, while taking a seat at the table, while Aaron motions lexie over,
"So, kate what are you a sophomore"" lexi asks, motioning to her Columbia sweater. " great school" Joey compliments, while he gives lexi a smile that contain a warning which was enough to grab everyone's attention.
" Thank you, actually I'm a senior, I'll graduate in the spring, with my master in Computer forensics, and a bachelors in forensic science" Kate answers causing everyone to blink a few times, "how old are you?" Joey asks causing her to smile. "I'll be 21 in December Joey turns to Jason along with the rest of the men.
"Where do you go, please tell me," Marcus says, causing Kate to look at Jason confused. " Yeah, what he asked " Jason smiles, " I just lucked out" He says staring at his girlfriend who smiles. Marcus smiles "Yeah, I hate you"
Lexi gives a little smile. " SO, jase you didn't tells us about this job, you just said you start in a month, you didn't even answer if they are ready for you" She asks causing Kate to smile. "Trust me, he'll fit in, he's got probie written all over him" She answers causing Jason to smile.
"Really, " She shrugs her shoulders. " I'll have fun messing with you" She whispers to him causing him to smile.
"What's a probie" Marcus asks causing Kate and Jason to answer. " a Probationary Agent" the men stare at him, except for Aaron who was preparing himself. "You're becoming an agent, where"
" NCIS," Joey stares at his friend. " What's that" Marcus asks, causing Joey to stare at him. " Naval Criminal Investigative Services"
She smiles " You should Come to D.C , Jason can give you a tour"
"You're moving" Joey says in a small voice, while lexi was surprised to hear the news.
Kate bites her lip before looking at Jason. "Hmm, I think I'm going to get ready for bed, you guys should talk"
Aaron gets up "I'll show you to your room" Kate gives him a grateful look, she kisses her boyfriend on cheek. "Sorry, good luck" She whispers causing him to give her a little smile.
" Get some sleep, I'll be up soon" She nods before gets up. "It was nice meeting you all," She says Nathan hits joey who was staring at his friend.
" It was nice meeting you too" He says a little bitter, Nathan rolls his eyes at his brother.
" It's great meeting you Kate, I'll be by tomorrow with my wife, and my monsters. they love new people they can pretend to be cute and innocent with" She smiles.
" I'll love to met them, Goodnight" She says before following Aaron out he gives her a warm smile. "Don't worry, he's the alpha" he whispers causing her to smile.
"I..." Aaron cuts her off. "I have know bourne for a while now, and I haven't since him like this before" She looks back to see her boyfriend rubbing his forehead.
"What under pressure" Aaron smiles walking up the stairs.
"No, I have seen that, I mean him acting like a real human" She stares at him confused. "He's putting himself first, if you known Bourne Long enough you know that's a breakthrough that we have you to thank for" He says with a smile causing her to smile.
"Thank you" He smiles "Us add ons have to stick together, ask Jess tomorrow, She's been a member for the last seven years, I'm the founder" She smiles "where do I sign up" He smiles"'you been a member for awhile now, didn't you get a welcome to the club basket" She shakes her head. "No or a warning" He smiles "I'll have to get on Jess about that" He says before taking her to the guest room.
Jason walks into their bedroom to find her asleep on the bed, wearing his marine shirt. He removes his articles of clothing until he was left in his boxers.
He climbs on top of her "Goodnight, Mi Vida" He says softly, He kisses her forehead causing her to open her eyes "Hey, did everyone leave already" She looks at the clock, which read four am.
"Yes, they have work in the morning, while in a few hours, how was your nap" She smiles "It was good, but I still have four more hours before I get up, and you need to get some sleep" she says, while he brushes a strand of hair behind her ear.
He missed her long hair, that used to capture his fingers. " Rapunzel, cut her hair" She smiles while twirling her piece of her bangs. " It was an impulse decision, kind of like going out with you" She teases causing him to give her a evil grin.
"Take it back" He says, letting his hot breath hit her neck. "It's the truth" She says, before she knew it there was an assault on her sides and lips.
"Stop it' She mumbles through the kiss. He pins her hands over her head. She retaliates by nibbling down on his bottom lip.
He pulls away smiling. " Thank you, for coming" She smiles "Thank you for inviting me...sorry about breaking the news, I thought you told them" Jason smiles" It's okay, on a side note they still like you" She gives a weak smile.
"You, can't leave there is too much here, It's where you grew up, and it's where your family is..." He stares down at her, his eyes traces her, a smile tugging at his lips .
"Family, will always be there, I'll visit as much as possible, and they will do the same, besides honestly my past is here, but not my future that's back in D.C with My crazy Ninja"He says causing her to smile her eyes getting a little misty eye. she arches her back bringing her lips closer to him.
" why are you buttering me up" He sighs "I'm not buttering you up" She traces his jawline with her thumb. " Why, Do I believe you"
He smiles " Because it's the truth" He says lying beside her on the bed. Her hand moves to his scar. "Two inches, and there went my future" She says her eyes meeting his, he shakes his head.
"just a chapter" She stares at him with these eyes that killed him. " You have no idea, of how much losing you would have cost me" His eyes soften.
"you're not a chapter Jason, and you'll never will be" He smiles "Why do I believe you" She kisses his pulling away slowly. "because it's the truth" He smiled pulling her onto his chest, she smiled staring at the picture of him when he was a teenage with his friends.
"Your friends are a little…"She gets stick on her words causing him to smile. "That's not a good sign if they have you speechless already" She rolls her eyes grinning at him.
"No, they're wonderful, and your god daughter well I didn't really get a chance to met her, but what I can tell she's a special little girl." Jason smiles "Yeah she is, and she was just tired tomorrow she'll be talking like crazy trust me"
"I don't think she likes the fact you brought me" Jason was going to make an excuse when she gives him a look. " she's not used to sharing, I spoil her, and she runs me over with those brown eyes"
Kate smiles " Since she was born, she's been special... I was in a really dark place and that little girl save my life. There is nothing i wouldn't do for her, and she knows it" Kate smiles "She wrapped you around her finger" He smiles " I know she can be.."
" Jason, I know first hand, what she haves with you, It's a great feeling , well until you start dating," He makes a face, which causes her to giggle. "What?" he asks causing her to smile. "Nothing, I can already tell what kind of father you'll be if you had a daughter, that poor boy who comes to take out your little girl"
" Jason gives her a look. "Poor boy he picked his fate trying to come near my daughter," She rolls her eyes " How about you, my dad would probably kill you along side my grandpa"
