"Oh but a woman in your condition should not have to walk that far!" (Both Lizzy and Jack smiled at this, while the rest looked worried.)
"And what condition would that be my love?"
"Well surely you must be with child now for I cannot quit seem to wrap my arms around thee waist as I once did." Jackson said playfully.
"Why ye dog! I wilt have ye know I am not more rounded at the waist then before our wedding night, and all those nights in between." Elizabeth said as Jack placed her down.
"Well come then, come! We do not want to be the last to the turkey, and you have the gifts right?" Jackson said as he ran ahead.
"Yes, if you have the pies" Elizabeth yelled after him.
"But of course my love" he said as he held them up.
The scene blurred into that of the inside of a cottage with the four families: Jackson and Elizabeth, Myrun and Emilia, Rachel her child and husband and Mr. and Mrs. Livingston. They were all gathered around a tree light with holly and candles as the kids open presents and the adults watched. Jackson and Elizabeth watched as Emilia opened theirs and shrieked with glee at the new doll, thinking what it would be like to have a daughter of their own.

The scene faded and Vell pressed play again.
The scene opened to Jackson's and Elizabeth's cabin. The couple sat huddled together on the porch wrapped together in a blanket, watching the sun rise in breathtaking pastels over the blossoming field dotted with little lumps of snow that had yet to melt.
"A perfect sunrise for Easter do you not think?" Jackson said as he turned to his wife. (Bunny cheered, much like North, at the mention of his Holiday and was met with complaint by the two girls that were cuddled against him to sit back down.)
"Aye my heart, tis a beautiful one, thought it does not quit compare to the bright colors of the fall." (Vell looked smug at that)
"Nor how the rainbows cast through the icicles hanging on trees and homes as the light glistens through them." Jackson added.(and Jack grew an even more smug look.
"Shesh even then ye two loved your seasons" Anna said.
"Of course! Winter is the best!"
"Of course! Autumn is the best!" the two said and then glared at each other. The rest chuckled at them.)
"I have something for you" the said in sync."
"You go first Jackson."
With a twinkle in his eye he pulled out a small bundle wrapped in brown paper tied in a bow with twin. As she unwrapped the paper he started saying something (and Jack groaned, but was quickly shushed by the women around him.)
"It's a symbol of everlasting love
A symbol of forces bigger than us from up above.
Ones undying commitment & trust in another
A special bond that never gives up hope or faith in the other
We wear it show our loyalty and to let others know we are taken.
This little band with a huge message that's never meant to be forsaken.
Its a kiss or a hug at the end of a long day
Its a sympathetic heart when there is no longer anything to say.
Its a standard that has come unglued in the previous years,
A word taken to loosely- a huge commitment taken so lightly it now appears
But for the lucky few, we take this commitment very serious
We know everything about our partner-nothing is held in or mysterious.
We care for our "better half" in ways we never thought we could
Dream big things together-things we never thought we would
We are in fact better with our other half
They are what make life worth it-the things that make us smile & laugh.
In a cold world, its nice to be able to look down
and remember that special day in your tux or wedding gown.
Its amazing what a gold band on your left index finger can mean
Its not really about the beginning or end-its about all the memories in between.
One life shared together"*
Elizabeth then pulled out a leather strip with a wooden snowflake charm around it, "I know it does not glisten like the jewels that adorn the necks of queens but it comes from my hands and heart. My hope is that every time I leave to tend the sheep that thee will still feel my presence with this charm around thy neck." Jackson said as he tied the cord around her neck. (Lizzy was now fiddling with said charms around her neck)
"Oh my love! Tis far more beautiful than the jewels that glisten around their necks. And I will wear it always and forever. For it is a symbol of our love for each other, and not of the vows we shared on the alter!" then with a humorous and timid smile she pulled out a similarly wrapped package and pulled handed it to him. "I do not have a poem for you but two amazing things to tell you. Then Jack pulled out a leather cord, with a wooden maple leaf charm dangling at the base of it. Elizabeth turned and tied it around his neck.
"I will say as you have said towards my gift to you; these are symbols of our everlasting love and not of our vows and it will hold a place around my neck always and forever. Now what be the other news?"
With a playful grin her hands moved from around Jack's neck to her stomach and Jacks curious expression turned into that of joy. "I am with child Jackson" she said happily Jack then picked her up and twirled her around.
"You will make the most wondrous mother a child could ask!"
"And you a most wondrous Father a child could ask! Now put me down!" Elizabeth said in a fit of giggles.
(Jamie grabbed the remote and paused it. "You wrote those poems!"
"Ah, yeah bud, those."
"Even the one about dreams?" Pippa asked
"Or the Sunshine one?" Monty said
"The one that was about flowers and Easter was my favorite!" Sophie added.
"I liked the one about spring" Cupcake said.
"I like the autumn one!" the twins said in sync
"Jack, vat are children talking about?" North asked
Jack buried his face in his hands "I believe they are talking about some of the poems I wrote," he peaked up out of his hands and glared at Lizzy "though they were supposed to have been turned to ash when I passed."
"Do ye truly expect me to just burn the poems you put yer heart and sole into, especially the ones that were devoted to me and the children! What ever happened to them anyways?"
Jamie hesitantly raised his hand "Well…some historian found them in a box in a cabin by the lake. They rewrote the poems and kinda made them into a book, it became very popular too. The school macks every 8th grader do a whole section on the mystery poet of Burgess. Jack you know you are the bain of many of them because of it ?" Though as Jamie uttered the last part they fell on deaf ears for Jack had frozen up as he heard that the poems were turned into a book.
"A Book. All of those poems for the world to see? Yo-your Joking right? All of those personal poems, all of those about my family and of my love for Lizzy, they aren't really in a book right?"
"Ah… sorry but yeah. Wait which ones are about your family? There are only the seasons and love poems." Monty said
Lizzy giggled a little, "The ones you guys called the seasons are actually about our children, Jack had nicknames for them that coincided with the seasons, and they were also born at those seasons too though."
"Really cause the spring and autumn ones are very much like the seasons." Pippa said
"And that would be because of his nick names for them. His Spring Flower and Autumn Breeze I believe" Lizzy said.
"Yeah, that's right. Annalise and Autumn. And then there was my little sunshine, Sammy." Jack said with a happy grin. Then he looked at the sprits he saw as siblings "You guys are not going to let me live those poems down are you?"
"Especially if we hear them. I wonder what the spring one is?" Bloom said gleefully.
Jack groaned in misery and humiliation. Seriously wishing there was a fast forward button in this remote. Jamie was about to press play when Lizzy pulled it from him.
"Before we watch the rest I have one quick question." She grasped her charm and then looked at Jack. "Do you still have the charm I gave you?" she said as she looked hopefully at his face.
"But of course my love" Jack said sweetly as he tried to kiss her, but was pushed away by her,
"Then show me" she said stubbornly. She waited in silence as Jack fiddled with his fingers, Lizzy looked at him suspicious, she knew Jack was not lying, he would never lie to her, but there was a reason for not wanting to show the necklace. "Ah! You just don't want to show you wear a symbol of fall around your neck don't you?" Jack slightly nodded but only she could see.
"Well I see how it is, I proudly show off the flake of yours and you don't feel the need to show the leaf I pain stakingly made? That hurts Jack, that hurts a lot" she said as she faked sniffled.
"Oh alright," Jack said as he pulled out the leaf charm and let it rest on the blue hoodie. "though it is not a symbol of Fall it is one of you, my lovely leaf, my Lizzy-Beth."
"Oh Jack," she said as she cuddled into him as she pressed play, and Vell had a small smile. He knew those charms signified their bond and made in an everlasting bond, way more powerful an oath then any that had made to their attendants. He only hopes he didn't have to let them know he can't keep them apart now. Jack can get too smug when he gets his way.

Okay, the real Easter special will be next, I just couldn't make this one longer, some of the scenes would just get lost in the funny and fluff that will be next!
