NOTE: Martha is six and a half months pregnant.

CHAPTER FIFTY

Martha had woken up the next morning quite excited. She was really looking forward to spending the day with Jack. She had sent Tasha a text message, and had told her that she was going on a picnic with Jack, and Tasha had come over straight away so that they could talk about it.

"So, would you call this a date?" Tasha asked her.

Martha thought about it for a moment and shrugged. "I don't know. It could be, I guess," she said. "I'm thinking that it's probably more about me and Jack spending some time together, you know. If we're going to get back together, then we should at least spend some time together," Martha explained.

"Are you ready to get back together?" Tasha asked. "It's obvious that Jack wants to. The only one stopping it now is you. Will today be the day you get your acts together?" she smiled.

"I don't know," Martha shrugged again. "We'll just have to see how the day goes," she grinned.

Soon after, Tasha left; leaving Martha to finish getting ready. She was just about to sit down and wait for Jack to pick her up, when she heard a knock at the door. That must be him now, she thought. She stood up quickly; grabbing her bag and jacket. "Coming," she called out.

"Hey," she smiled, when she opened the door and found Jack waiting.

"Hi," he smiled back at her. "So, you're ready to go," Jack asked.

"Yep," Martha nodded.

Martha couldn't help but smile as she followed Jack to the car. She hoped that today went really well; and hopefully it would end even better.

Jack took them to a nice quiet spot; where they sat by the river. It was a beautiful day; the grass was green and the water was a sparkling from the sunshine.

Jack had brought so much food. All of it food that she liked; Raspberry Choc-Chip muffins, cheese and crackers, strawberries, mangoes and pineapple, an array of sandwiches, and her absolute favorite; raspberry mousse.

Martha ate up the last spoonful of mousse before letting out a happy sigh. "I am completely stuffed," she gasped as she fell back onto the big soft pillow that Jack had brought along for her. "That was amazing. Thank you," she smiled at Jack.

"I'm glad you liked it," Jack smiled back at her.

"It was the best," Martha exclaimed.

Jack looked across at Martha, and couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked. She had this cute little smile on her face, and she seemed to be glowing. She had her hair out; and it fell down around her face as it blew around gently in the breeze. For the first time in ages, she looked genuinely happy. He was just about to speak to her when she let out a soft gasp.

"Oh my god," she breathed out, as she quickly pushed herself up. Her hand flew down to her stomach as she let out another gasp. "It kicked. The baby just kicked," she exclaimed.

"What?" Jack practically leapt across the left over food, so that he could sit next to Martha. "Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm sure. Here. Feel it," Martha grabbed a hold of Jack's hand and placed it over her stomach. "Right there, can you feel it?" she placed her hand over his.

Jack smiled. "Oh my god, that is amazing," he said softly, as the baby continued to kick away at the spot where his and Martha's hands rested. "Our first kick," he exclaimed.

"Yep," Martha nodded. "And we got to share it together," she smiled softly at Jack.

Martha kept staring into Jack's face, and she could feel herself getting lost in his eyes. She reached a hand out and cupped his face; brushing her thumb across his cheek.

"Kiss me," she ordered with a smile.

Jack was all too happy to comply. He smiled at her and gently lowered his face until his lips were touching hers. He brushed across her lips lightly, before pulling away. He smiled at her again; before pulling her back in.

Martha deepened the kiss immediately; and softly ran her tongue across his. She let out a soft moan, as she threw her arms around his neck; pulling him in closer.

It felt so good to be kissing Jack again; and she tried to think of why she had ever given him up in the first place. But right now she couldn't even think straight. Her mind was like goo, and all she wanted to do was keep kissing Jack.

Jack gently lowered her back onto the pillow; his lips still attached to hers. He fell down next to her; determined to make up for all the kisses they had lost over the last few months.

After about an hour of kisses and cuddles, Jack and Martha were now sitting quietly; just enjoying each others company. Jack was now leaning against the pillow, and Martha was sitting in between his legs; resting her back against his chest.

Martha had one of Jack's hands clasped in hers, which was sitting gently on her stomach. While Jack used his other hand to run through Martha's hair; occasionally twirling it around his fingers.

"So, does this mean we're back together?" Jack asked.

"I guess," Martha nodded. "If that's what you want, of course," she added.

Jack laughed. "Of course it's what I want. I wouldn't be here, if I didn't," he exclaimed.

"Good, because it's what I want aswell," Martha told Jack. "But for a while, I think we should just take it slow, you know. I don't want rush back into things," she said.

"Whatever you want," Jack said to her. "I'm just glad that we're here and that we're together".

"Me too," Martha agreed.

"I love you," Jack said as he softly kissed her on the neck.

"I love you," Martha said back to him.

Martha then looked at her watch and realised that it was approaching late afternoon. "Oh crap. I hate to ruin the moment, but we have to go," she moved to sit up. "I have a shift at Noah's tonight, and I need to get back and get ready," Martha explained.

"This sucks," Jack exclaimed. "Whenever you work, I don't. And when I work, you don't have to," he whined.

Martha laughed. "Don't worry; I don't think grandad will let me work for much longer. He already thinks that I should be at home resting twenty-four seven," she told Jack.

Jack finished packing up the left over food, and then helped Martha up onto her feet. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before the two of them walked hand in hand off towards the car.
