Sue put her keys in the door, on opening her door she looked up and dropped her keys in shock as to what she saw... Jack who was stood in front of her couldn't help but smile as she dropped her keys on the floor when she saw him...

The two of them stood there for a few moments just looking at each their eyes firmly fixed on the others, both wanting move or even speak but neither wanting to break the moment. After a few minutes Sue, who was still standing in her doorway, moved forward and closed the door, trying her hardest not to run into the arms of the man in front of her, she turned back and began to speak praying that her voice was working

"Um, Jack! Hi"

"Hi yourself"

"What's going on? What are you doing here I thought you were in Wisconsin"

"No not this year, this year I decided to spend Christmas with someone special and in order to achieve this I needed to be in DC"

Sue wanted to respond but her voice failed her, she was still in shock, she had psyched herself up into spending the rest of the day alone and that Jack was in Wisconsin cuddled up to Allie, but he wasn't he was here, in front of her, holding a single white rose her favourite flower.

Jack continued to look at her revelling in the fact that his plan had worked, even though she looked undoubtedly shocked, she also seemed pleased, no ecstatic, that he was here.

"This is for you" He said walking towards her giving her the rose

"Thank you" she signed

"Sue, I have to tell you something, something I have wanted to tell you for a long time" He began "

Sue began to breathe heavier and slower, the intensity in his voice was giving her goose pimples what had he wanted to tell her that couldn't have waited till after Christmas, all sorts of things went through her mind, was he marrying Allie, was he leaving, was she leaving, was he sick, had something happened to one of the children in the centre, had something happened to one of the team or could it possibly that Lucy and Tara were right that his feelings matched her own and that right here in her apartment on Christmas day he was going to make all of her dreams and wishes come true. Jack interrupted her thoughts

"But before I tell you I first I have to give your present, though you need to give me your hand and close your eyes, I want it to be a surprise, I promise you it's nothing bad, I wouldn't ever do anything that would cause you pain or hurt you, all you have to do is trust me. Do you trust me?" As he was talking Jack had made his way closer and closer to Sue and was now standing just a few centimetres away. Sue simply nodded her head and held out her hand which Jack took, as he did the two of them jumped slightly as the waves of electricity and passion shot through them.

"Close your eyes and no peaking, once I'm ready I'll tap your shoulder and you can open them" he said

"Ok" she managed to get out in a squeaky, hoarse voice

She closed her eyes and Jack began leading her away from her front door, she knew she was going forward into the apartment, but had no idea where she was going to end up and at this moment in time she had to be honest with herself and admit that as long as Jack was there when she opened her eyes again she didn't care... Jack stopped in front of the living room door, which Sue hadn't noticed was closed, and opened it, checking nothing had happened in there he tapped her shoulder indicating that she could once again open her eyes.

"Oh my God, Jack" Sue said as she looked in the room

"Do I take that as to mean you like what you see" He asked tapping her arm to make her turn around

Sue took a few moments to look around the room, Jack had placed hundreds of white roses all around the room including a huge vase full on the table, there was also hundreds of tiny tea-light candles placed on top of tables, shelves, windows, books anywhere that there was a flat surface had a candle, she breathed in and was hit by the scent of the roses and the jasmine coming from the candles, she wasn't sure what heaven looked like but at this moment in time she was sure she was there, especially as the man she loved was absent-mindedly stroking her arm and back as she looked at what he had done for her. She continued to look around the room when her eyes fixated on a small, wrapped box on the coffee table, sitting on a bed of rose petals, fairy lights and candles. She looked back at Jack and he said

"Merry Christmas, go ahead open it, it's yours"

"Thank you Jack" she smiled and kissed ever so gently on the lips not able to hold herself back any longer "everything looks so beautiful, but I have to ask you something"

"Anything" He said his own voice now hoarse

"How did you manage to do this? It must have taken hours and I've only been gone for two and how did you get in?" She asked, even though she didn't want to spoil the moment her curiosity was getting the better of her, but to be honest she didn't care how he got in, she was just glad he was here

"I used a key, that's all I'm saying for now, everything else will make sense soon I promise"

Even though most people wouldn't have been satisfied with the brief explanation he gave, for her it was enough, all she cared about was the fact that he hadn't risked his life by climbing up the building to get in. She walked over to the small box, picked it up and began opening it, she immediately had a puzzled look on her face when she saw what was inside it was a key, not just any key a key that puzzled her, she knew it wasn't a key to her apartment or Jack's for that matter it was the wrong type, both her and Jack's apartment had a standard key lock, this key was a larger barrel key...

Jack came in front of her and said

"It's a key to the other half of your present"

"Other half?" she questioned

"Yes, he said the key is one half, what the key fits is the other half"

"And what does the key fit?"

"Now if I told you that it would spoil the surprise. I'll give you one hint, in that you know what the key is for you just haven't recognised it yet, but you will soon enough as I am going to take you there" he said with a small smirk and wicked, teasing glint in his eyes.

He walked away from her to blow out the candles leaving Sue to wonder and rack her brain as to what this was the key for. She turned round to look at him; he was just leaning on the table looking pleased with himself that he had caused that nose wrinkle he loved so much.

"You ready to go?" he asked as he held his hand out for hers

Taking his hand once again in hers she simply nodded as he led both her and Levi out of the apartment, down the stairs, into the garage where his car was parked, before driving off towards the edge of the city.

Sue just sat there staring at the key trying to figure out where she had seen the key before, she knew it was familiar but couldn't place why or where she had seen it before. If she had been looking out of the window it would have become clear but she hadn't been she was concentrating to hard, she hadn't noticed that the area they were now parked in was known to her as was the owner of the key, still deep in thought and with her nose well and truly wrinkled Jack turned off the engine and just looked at her relishing in her beauty, her golden hair cascading over her shoulders, the sweet smell of her floral perfume tickling the senses of his nose, it took all of his will power not to grab her and kiss her with all the passion he had built inside him, but that would have to wait...

He tapped her shoulder and she looked up at him, still not noticing where they were.

"We're here"

Sue looked around her and something in her mind suddenly clicked she knew where she was and what the key was for, what she didn't understand was why she was here...
