2017
The morning was cold. A frost had swept through Winchester and it was freezing in their rented accommodation when they woke up. Kittie woke first and curled around Oscar, hoping for warmth from him to seep into her. However a large baby bump made it rather difficult to get close to him. In the end he rolled, wrapping his long arms and legs around her as they lay in the cold bed for a while.
Alarms went off and they both had to start their day. The usual abundance of flowers and sparkles filled the room, no exception being made for it being Valentine's Day. Oscar wanted to make sure that she knew how much he loved her, especially after the 2 months away on a special ops trip that had left her terrified. He knew how much she loved glitter and stars and made a point of showering her in as much light and positivity as possible.
What was different on this day was the sizable stack of pancakes waiting for Kittie on the kitchen table after her shower. Thankfully Oscar had been given a lesson or two in pancake making from both his dad and step-mum. It also helped he was a quick study, regardless of spy instincts. Strawberries, chocolate sauce and ice cream garnished the breakfast and left Kittie feeling like a princess.
Presents were exchanged along with a not so brief make out session before both left for work. Kittie went to see Frank in London and give a couple of speeches at Mr Flatley's new school (both spy and educational) before teaching a year 7 class. Oscar left to go and work with Dan and Lexi on a day mission in Salisbury. The two had originally planned on meeting at lunch time with Frank and Henry for a double date, but decided it was a bit of a squish with work and they could always meet with them another time. It also allowed the couples to be more at ease as Frank and Henry were having their first Valentines together. Kittie instantly knew it would last and was often seen smirking as Frank talked about Henry and vice versa.
Dinner wasn't a formal affair, a nice quiet evening in for them in front of the TV. Oscar cooked Kittie's favourite homemade Carbonara. It almost left Kittie in tears as it was her father's recipe which Oscar had completely followed but she knew it was meant well and was just what she wanted.
They decided to relive a past date with ice-cream on the sofa, and a sing-along to Hercules and Frozen which had been started the minute Kittie had returned.
It was a day of bliss, a reminder that love was an immense force in the world and that no matter what happened each day, each year, love would win and things would be good as long as they had each other. Of course the evening ended in the usual loud discussion on what to name their child should it be a boy or a girl but that was their way of doing things. A bit of compromise, loud discussion, and a lot of love.
AN: If you want to know any more about what happens to the MI HIGH gang in my universe just ask and there is a sequel that is on it's way at some point. Files got corrupted and it's taking a while to get it all back.
Hope you enjoyed reading this and happy Valentine's Day everyone xxx.
