Chapter10: What I like about you!

"Jack Mercer! I can't believe you did that!" Katie exclaimed walking through the living room.

"Babe! It was a gun!" Jack pointed out. Katie spun on her hell and turned around and faced him.

"Exactly! A Gun! So what are you going to tell Sawyer to do if some little kid steals his toy? Shoot him!" Jack sighed and watched as Katie paced the room.

"What a perfect role model you are for our son! I can't believe you!" Jack looked at her and followed her up the steps.

"What? I held a gun before! Plus I'd never tell Sawyer to do that!" Katie kept walking and stated.

"Jack, what if that was you being shot at? What would you do then?" Jack just stood there.

"Babe! Look I know how to handle a gun!" Katie sighed and turned towards him.

"No you don't! You never held a gun in your life other than this night."

"No, You don't know everything about me!"

"Yeah actually I do."

"Fine if you're so smart! Tell me what I did while I was in New York." Jack stated following her into his room.

"You played music, did gigs and wrote lyrics." Jack scoffed and watched as she threw some clothes into the basket, she cleaned when she was upset.

"And?" Jack asked. Katie stood up with a shirt of his in her hands.

"More music." She stated throwing it in the basket.

Jack smirked smiling to himself.

"You have no freaking clue that I slept with the groupies." Katie stood straight up and gave a hard cold and deathly glare towards him.

"Oh shit…Babe that wasn't meant to be said aloud." Katie walked towards him and pushed him with her index finger while saying.

"I can't believe you did that!"

"Babe, let's not jump to any conclusions.."

"I'm not jumping! Does it look like I'm jumping? Cause I'm not! This is Jumping!" She said as she jumped up and down once.

"Babe, let's be civil about this."

"Get out." She stated as she opened the door.

"Babe come on, stay calm." Jack stated.

"I AM CALM!" She exclaimed. Jack then took this as a time to leave her alone. He then closed the door behind him as he left.

Katie then sighed and kicked the basket; she walked over to his bed and grabbed a book he had laying down on his bed.

She looked up at the sound of the door creaking and saw Jack's head peeking into the room.

"No sex tonight?" Jack asked. Katie looked at him with the same glare as before and tightened her grip on the book and brought her hand up and threw the book across the room towards the door, but Jack closed it just in time.

Jack sighed and walked down the hall while rubbing his hand in his hair.

He stopped and stood there with a quizzical look and sharply turned around and headed straight back towards his bedroom he opened the door and stated.

"Wait, this is my room!" He didn't even peek his head into the room and he felt something slam against the door.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Mourning

Katie walked down the steps with Sawyer in her arms.

"Mommy what happened to your face?" Katie stood there thinking she didn't want to tell Sawyer the truth so she answered with the first thing off the top of her head.

"Mommy got hurt by a bird." Sawyer nodded his head and replied. "Birds are evil."

"Hey Sawyer!" Jack stated walking into the living room.

"Daddy!" Sawyer said jumping off Katie's lap who was sitting on the couch at the time, and ran over to Jack.

"Hungry?" Sawyer nodded his head; Jack looked up at Katie and asked. "You hungry too?" Katie just starred at the TV.

"Oh, so it's going to be like that Aussie?"

"I'm not Aussie." Katie stated without taking her eyes off the TV. Jack smirked and replied. "You'll always be my Aussie." Katie rolled her eyes.

"Police in the house!" Angel called. Katie sighed and stood up and looked out the window to see Green and some other guy walking towards the door.

"Shit! Bobby!" Katie called.

"Angel, mind if we come in?" Green asked. Katie stood up and made her way over towards the front door.

"Your already in. Cops are always welcome at the Mercer's. It makes us feel safe and cozy." Katie snorted at this, She thought it was funny for Angel to say cozy.

"Katie Taylor. How ya been girl?"

"Fine."

"What happened to your face?" Green asked. Katie stood there thinking.

"An evil bird hurt Mommy." Sawyer said walking in front of Katie. Katie looked down at Sawyer and rubbed his head and looked up at Green who was looking down at Sawyer and back up at Katie. Katie smiled meekly and replied.

"(Laughs nervously) Ha, Kids they say the darnest things." Jack smiled to himself and walked up to Katie and put his arm around her waist.

"Aw Green, last night she was a little too frisky. It was a rough night. Right Babe?" Jack said with a playful grin. Katie gritted her teeth Jack was saving her ass and trying to warm up to her at the same time.

"Right… I bumped into a few things. I swear he's an animal in the bed." Katie replied but then grabbed Sawyer's hand and led Green to the living room where Bobby was.

"Ain't you sexy." Green commented seeing Bobby wearing a flamboyant and very colorful robe.

"Thank you." Bobby replied, Katie walked over and sat at the end of the couch with Sawyer on her lap.

"Jackie wanted this little number for himself, but I fought him for it." Bobby replied with a snicker. Katie was going to laugh but she felt a pair of eyes on her and she instantly knew who it was, Jack.

"What happen to the hand? Did you forget our little conversation we had at your brother's house about not interfering with our investigation?" Green asked. Bobby pulled up his sleeve only a little and replied.

"Oh no, no. This is Turkey cup, man. Hockey. You remember that, don't ya Green? You played hockey. Guys can be pretty rough out on that ice."

Katie moved in her seat as Sawyer jumped off her lap again.

"Where's your car Bobby? It's not outside."

'We left it at Jeremiah's" Sofi stated.

"Yeah, Jerry gave them a lift home." Katie piped in. Angel looked at Katie and replied. "You know Volvos are one of the safest cars out there. Volvos are incredible man, when there's a blizzard outside. So we-

"Fascinating." The other guy stated. Katie looked over at him and glared, she didn't like him.

"Hey Gretzky, you know what this is?" He asked Bobby holding up a little plastic bag.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Everyone watched as Sawyer walk into the room and look up at the very pale tall man.

"Why is the ugly man being mean to Uncle Bobby?" Bobby snickered; Katie looked up at the man and showed no emotion. She bent down to pick Sawyer up and replied.

"That's because he's a dick." The man glared at Katie. Bobby's Jerry's and Jack's jaws were slightly dropped.

'You got a problem with me?" Katie looked at him and replied. "Yeah you're accusing my family of something and I don't like it…oh and you smell like shit. Have a nice day." Katie then walked out into the kitchen with Sawyer in her arms.

A few minutes later the cops left and Jack walked out into the kitchen and saw Katie finishing up a glass of orange juice.

"So the bad side of Katie finally decided to come out. Does Darth Vader know about this? He may have some competition." Jack stated trying to make Katie laugh, which he had no luck.

"Babe! I'm sorry okay! None of those girls mean a thing to me!" Katie set her cup in the sink and turned to him and looked at him and asked.

"Girls? Exactly, how many girls were there Jack?" Katie asked.

"2." Jack stated trying to avoid Katie's look, but he couldn't he ended up looking at her. She was standing there with that stern, cold hard glare and her arms crossed over her chest.

"Uh…4.." Jack stated. Katie was still standing there.

"Fine 6?" Katie looked at him and her eyes were digging into him and he sighed and replied. "Too many to count!" Katie shook her hand and dropped her arms and walked away from him.

"Babe!" Jack called following her up the stairs. Katie turned to him and said. "What? What more could you possibly do to ruin my day? Hmm..Oh wait nothing; you pretty much did it already. Congratulations Jack!" Katie said before stomping up the stairs.

"Stop it with the stomping!" Bobby called. Katie turned to Bobby and gave him the bird.

Jack sighed and went up the steps skipping two at a time. He saw Kate walking towards the bathroom door and he grabbed her elbow and turned her around.

"Baby is this love for real?" He sang to her. Katie jerked her arms back and walked into the bathroom and grabbed her toothbrush. Jack smiled and walked towards his room. He walked back out with his guitar and started to play it and sing.

"What I like about you? You really know how to dance!" Katie looked towards him while still brushing her teeth and slammed the door shut. Jack knew just what to do to get on her nerves. As she was brushing she could still hear him playing his guitar and singing.

"Keep on whispering in my ear, tell me all the things I want to hear! Cause it's true that's what I like about you!" Katie spit out the liquid in her mouth into the sink and walked out of the bathroom to have Jack standing there on his knees singing. Katie looked at him and patted him on the head and walked around him.

"Never want to let you go! You make me feel alright!" Jack sighed and kept following her and soon started to sing in a whisper.

"That's what I like about you, that's what I like about you, that's what I like about you." He then stopped when she turned around.

"Serenading to me will get you nowhere." She stated before turning around, Jack sighed and looked at her.

"What do you want from me?" Katie turned back towards him. "What do I want from you?" Jack just stood there starring.

"I don't know."

"Babe that was in the past can we just forget about it?" Katie walked towards his room and slammed the door. Jack sighed and paced the hallway a few times and stopped coming up with an idea, he walked over to his guitar and picked up and made his way back towards his bedroom door.

"And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready." Jack stopped singing and playing his guitar. He waited in front of the door for a few minutes, no noise what so ever. He sighed and set his guitar down by the wall and made his way down the hall.

Katie was sitting on the bed she smiled hearing Jack play "Always." But she soon frowned, She stood up and walked over towards the door and opened it up only a little to see jack walking towards the end of the hall. She smiled to herself and walked out of the room quietly and quietly ran down the hallway and jumped onto his back.

"Babe I am so sorry." He said turning around to her. "Those girls meant nothing to me I-

Jack didn't get to finish because Katie crushed her lips against his.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Sawyer was sitting next to Bobby on the couch watching Veggie Tales again, Bobby smiled at his nephew and saw Angel come into the room and then they all heard rumbling upstairs then a squeal.

Sawyer looked up at Bobby with a questioning look. Bobby looked over at Angel and stated.

"They never stop, they're worse than you and Soif." Angel just laughed and replied.

"He's a Mercer. Mercer's could go all day." Angel commented Bobby nodded his head agreeing.

"What do you mean?" Sawyer asked.

"Sleeping, Your mommy must of fell off the bed." Sofi stated as Bobby opened his mouth to answer. Sawyer jumped off Bobby's lap and walked over towards the steps.

"Where you going Sawyer?" Bobby asked as Sawyer was on the fourth step.

"To go see if Mommy has any boo-boos."

"NOO!" Sofi, Angel and Bobby all called at the same time.
