A/N:******SAPPINESS ALERT! SAPPINESS ALERT! SAPPINESS ALERT!******
**You have been warned.**
Here is my lovely ficcy. As always, watch for the sap factor--like almost all my fics, there's a whole lotta sap. This is for all the J/C sap fans and all the people who thought that the end of book 54 was way too incomplete. I thought it was too incomplete so I'm writing this. REMEMBER: Just because the books are over, doesn't mean the fics have to stop. I'm going to be churning out tributes to each Animorph, starting with Rachel. Also, this is going to be pretty long.
CHAPTER ONE

"I love you," I whispered to Jake.
"Love you too, Cass," he whispered back sleepily.(A/N:And the sap begins)

Now, it was 5 years since the war ended, and we were both 21, and, if you hadn't guessed, married to each other.

I remembered years ago, just before and after he came back from Kelbrid space, and he was so depressed...


**BEGIN FLASHBACK**
I drifted off to sleep. The clock read 10:08.
::RING RING::
::RING RING::The telephone rang.

"Hello?" I mumbled, still half-asleep.The clock read 2:57 AM.

"Cassie? It's Jake," he said.

"What is it Jake? Are you back from space? Did you *have* to call me at 3 in the freaking morning?" I assaulted him with questions.


"I'm getting back, and I thought you would want to know that I was back, and that's why I called at 3 in the morning.I'm really sorry Cassie. I missed you, I love you, and I'm *really* sorry," he said, sounding hurt and apologetic. And I could swear there was almost a note of depression in his voice.

"Oh, Jake, it's okay, sorry for being grumpy. I missed you, too. I love you, too. When are you getting back? When can I see you?" I asked.

"Tomorrow I'll come to your house about 10 AM, okay?" He said, well, almost happily.

"Okay, now if you don't mind, I need to go back to bed. I need my beauty sleep. I love you. Goodnight." I said.
***SAPPINESS ALERT! MAJOR SAP FACTOR!! You have been warned***
"You don't need any more beauty sleep. You're beautiful already." He said.

Wow. Had he really missed me that much? I sure had missed him...
Why did he seem so sad? Why was he so, well, upset and offended when I got annoyed? I'd find out tomorrow...

A/N: ::Winces::Okay, that was too much sap, but KAA did a sucky job in terms of JC sap in book 54--I had to make it up!!I am glad that is written. R&R please! Next chapter coming soon. As soon as I recover from sap overload, 'kay? Buhbyezz. This is Momo Claus, signing off...
