Seek Honey, Seek


Later that evening, Jack and Olivia were driving back home, both exhausted from the day's events. Olivia was tired out because of all the playing she had done and Jack...well Jack still felt like his head weighed a ton.

After his breakdown, the three men had remained there silent, not wanting to say the wrong thing and worsen the situation. Jerry and Milton both knew that no words could make Jack feel better now and sometimes, silence is just what you need.

So they just let Jack calm down but grieved with him, because they were brothers and one's pain, was the other's pain too. They let Jack know they were there for him and at the moment, that was just what the brunet needed.

Someone to be there for him.

Even though Jack had taken the medicine, it seemed to have no effect at all as for the entire day the pounding countinued, painfully hammering against his skull, forcing the little family to go home earlier than usual.

Olivia sighed and rested her head against the window glass as she watched the outside world blur by. Jack heard the small sigh and looked at his daughter from the rear view mirror.

"I'm sorry we had to go back early sweetheart" He said, eyes returning back to the road.

"It's okay daddy" Olivia raised her head and lazily smiled, making Jack chuckle.

"I see I'm not the only one tired" He smiled at her and Olivia grinned sheepishly, rubbing some sleep out of her eyes.

She looked back out and realized that they were home. Jack pulled up in the driveway and parked. Once the car stopped, Olivia snapped off her seatbelt and just sat there.

Jack got out from the car and saw that Olivia was still in, sitting there with her arms lazily slumped on her sides. Jack smiled and shook his head, going over to Olivia's side and opening the door.

As soon as the door was open, Olivia raised her arms, silently asking to be picked up, just as Jack had thought.

Jack swooped down and hoisted Olivia out of her seat, her arms going around his neck and legs wrapping around his waist. Kicking the door shut, Jack sighed and buried his head into his daughter's hair, carring her to the house.

He shut his eyes for a moment as his head throbbed again, memories flooding back to him again.

"Come on Kim" Jack called out, adjusting his pants. He ran a hand through his ruffled hair and looked at Kim, who was still sitting in the car, blonde stands badly tangled and his shirt draped over her petite body.

Kim raised her eyes from staring at her feet to Jack, looking at him through half-lidded eyes that told him she was really in no mood to walk.

Kim swallowed and put her palms on the car seat, tensing her muscles and looking ready to stand up...before she gave up and turned to Jack with a pleading look.

Jack laughed and shook his head at her childness, finally getting the memo and leaning into the car. He reached in and Kim instantly raised her arms, letting Jack lift her up and out of the car.

She wrapped her arms and legs around him, clinging to him as he kissed her neck.

"I love you Jack" she mumbled into his ear and shivered in his arms as he kissed her on a fresh hickey. She smiled to her herself and bit her lip, recalling what they had just finished doing in the back of his car.

He must have been having the same thoughts too as she felt his hot breath on her neck as he grinned.

"I love you too baby girl" and there they stood, two 19 year olds clinging to eachother and basking into eachother's love.


"What do you want for dinner Livvy?" Jack asked as he opened the fridge, looking for some ingredients to fish out.

"Yersterday's chicken curry with rice?" Olivia responded in a hopeful tone, given the dish was her favorite.

Jack smiled and went for the packed up chicken leftovers, closing the fridge behind him, "Sure" he then started on the rice and was silently thanking Olivia for having picked out something fast to make.

Since the chicken was already there, only thing that had to be was the rice and Jack didn't mind boiling them up.

He didn't think his headache could handle making a full meal.

As Jack went about the kitchen, Olivia sat at the table, head resting on top. She was too tired to even walk to the living room and watch some cartoons.

She lazily slid her fingers on the smooth surface of the table and spoke up, her sleepy voice breaking the silence.

"Daddy when are going to start looking for mommy?"

Jack nearly dropped the water filled pot at that. He made a startled noise and gripped the pot more securely. Olivia raised her head and looked at her father.

Finally putting the pot on the stove, he took a deep breath in but didn't turn around.

"What are you talking about Livvy?" Olivia frowned at her dad's back, who had occupied himself in taking out the rice.

"Mommy, daddy. We have to look for her remember?" Jack tensed and gripped the fire lighter tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"You were just dreaming sweetie" He kept telling himself to stay calm, not to blow up and just go on with what he was doing.

"But it was real daddy! She talked to me! She said it herself" Olivia crossed her arms, finality in her voice and actions.

"Olivia, it was just a dream" Jack raised his voice slightly, but even the use of her full name went unnoticed by Olivia, who just kept going on to further prove her point.

"No daddy, I'm telling you! We jist need to find her the game will be ov-"

"Over?" Jack finally wheeled around, dropping the fire lighter on the counter, making it clunk loudly. Olivia stopped in mid sentence and stared at her father.

"So you're saying that we just need to find her super amazing, well-thought hiding spot and it'll all be over? The game will end and we'll live happily ever after?"

Jack's eyes were flaring, the one thing that Olivia noticed and that should've stopped her from saying anything more.

But she didn't stop. She slightly nodded, still stubbornly caught up in her beliefs. And it was just that Kim-like stubbornness that made Jack even angrier.

"Daddy she-"

"SHE'S DEAD OLIVIA!" That was it. He had done it. He had said it.

He had lost control.

All this time, Jack had avoided using this word with Olivia, because just saying that Kim's not coming back had seemed enough for the little one.

Until now apparently.

As soon as the words slipped out of his mouth, Jack snapped his eyes open and looked at Olivia, breath caught in His throat.

The little girl was sitting there, frozen on her chair. Her eyes were wide in fear, Jack could tell and her face was quickly growing red.

She was about to cry. And he caused it.

"Liv I-" but he didn't get to finish, because Olivia had already leapt out of her chair and was running off, her sobs filling the house.

Jack immediately made to follow her and ran after her. Near the table though, his foot got caught in one of the chair's legs and he tripped, barely catching himself.

Once he regained his posture, he shut his eyes tightly and felt like he was about to explode.

Pain, rage, sorrow, guiltiness all swirled inside him as his headache reached excruciatingly high levels.

He didn't know what to do, he felt like a miserable monster.

He had just said her mother is dead.

He brought tears into her eyes, something that he promised himself never to do.

He just yelled at her, something he had always avoided doing.

He...he wasn't himself anymore.

With nothing more left to do, Jack did the only thing he could think of.

He yelled and punched the wall...and then yelled some more.


"Shit Jack" Jack mumbled to himself as he wrapped his bloody and aching hand in bandages.

After he was done, he got up and rubbed his eyes, wiping away even the least trace of tears. Olivia wasn't the only one that had been crying.

He exited the kitchen and the joint living room, climbing the stairs and finally going into Olivia's room. He quietly opened and closed the door behind him, his eyes landing on the small lump on the bed covered in bedsheets.

He sighed and walked over to the bed, crouching down. Olivia was facing the other way and clutching one of her stuffed animals close to her chest. Her eyes were screwed shut and tear stains lined her small face.

Jack's heart dropped to his stomach as he noticed his daughter's tear stained face, still unable to believe he had done this to her.

He gently wiped away all the remaining tears and leaned down to kiss Olivia on the forehead.

"I'm sorry baby girl. I'm so, so sorry" he whispered, buring his head into her hair and nuzzling his nose in it.

"I love you" when usually Olivia always answered to that, this time Jack wasn't expecting a reply, which in fact didn't come.

He sighed, acknowledging that she was asleep and kissed her again one last time before patting her head lovingly and exiting her room.

But if he had looked more closely, he would've noticed that little eyes were shyly looking around in the darkness and that small ears had heard everything as they were not asleep.

Olivia clutched her teddy bear closer to her and whimpered "Mommy"

After that, she was out like a light.


She was sitting in the same immense field again, but this time, she didn't start spinning around to have some fun. She was in no mood to have fun right now.

So she just sat there, gloomy picking at the grass until she heard something, or rather someone.

"Liv?" Olivia raised her head and her sad eyes immediately swelled up at sight in front of her. Her mommy was back.

She was standing there with her hands behind her back, smiling at her with her same loving smile.

Olivia shot up from the ground and ran at her mother, hugging her legs and letting out a sob. Her small body began shaking violently with her increasing cries before she was swept off her feet and taken into strong yet gentle arms.

"Shhh...it's okay baby, I'm here now" Kim softly mumbled into her ear, rocking her gently into her arms.

At her words though, Olivia cried even louder, heart crushing sobs emitting from her mouth. She clutched her mom harder, afraid that if she's let go even the slightest bit, she would slip away.

Kim brought a hand up to her head and started patting it affectionatly, while continuously murmuring calming words into her daughter's ear.

At last, Olivia's crying subsided and soon she was only sniffing. Her grip on Kim didn't loosen though, nor did Kim's on her.

"M-mommy" Kim sat down on the grass with Olivia still in her arms and once she was down, she grabbed Olivia's face into her hands and made her look up.

Doe brown eyes stared into doe brown eyes as Kim took in just how much Olivia was like her. Wiping away her tears, she smiled and hugged Olivia again.

"Feeling better now baby?" She kissed the top of her head as Olivia nodded, her face in the crook of Kim's neck.

"Yes" Her voice was so small that Kim hugged her tighter, raveling into the feel.

"What made you so upset Livvy?"

"D-daddy" Olivia slightly pushed away from Kim and looked up at her, her lips quivering again.

"He-he said you were...you were dead" Olivia's voice dropped down to a terrified whisper as she stared at her mother wide eyed.

Kim looked down at her little girl and finally, she smiled, shaking her head. Olivia just sat there confused, not knowing how to take it.

Was her mommy just as mad as she had been when her dad told her this?

"Oh Livvy" Kim began, smoothing Olivia's hair, "Sometimes your dad says such big words he doesn't even know the meaning of" Kim laughed, making Olivia break out into a smile too.

That means daddy was wrong! Her mommy was fine.

"Don't you cry about things like these sweetie. You're strong remember? And just remember what I told you" Kim leaned back until she was laying on the grass with Olivia on top of her.

She began running her fingers through her soft hair as Olivia sighed contendly. Being in her mother's arms brought her a warmth no other person had ever given her, not even her dad.

It was close to it, but...different.

"Seek honey, seek" Kim muttered softly, hearing Olivia's breath begging to deepen.

"Just Seek for me"

Olivia nodded slightly, sleep overwhelming her until her eyes finally fluttered close, welcoming peaceful slumber.
