Yay! New chapter! LOL

Please leave your reviews! Thank you!

Jack watched her until she was out of view.

"I was not expecting to see this side of you," North said as the two were now facing each other. "You are different person when around Irma."

Jack smiled, "I guess I am. It's like she's grounding me; putting my soul at ease."

"With her 'round, you will be on nice list in no time."

Jack laughed, "We'll see."

North laughed with him.

"I'm having surprises thrown at me left and right since the night I reunited with Irma," Jack told him, looking toward the library.

"Don't forget eleven years ago," North reminded him. "The true-time you reunited with her."

Jack swiveled his head back around in surprise. "How did you know about that?"

"Tooth told me." As Jack nodded his head slowly in understanding, North said, "Wish I knew why she did not come to this good-bye meeting."

"I know the reason," Jack's demeanor changed.

"Oh?" North's curiosity perked up. He did want to know why Tooth would miss something like this.

"She came by the house yesterday twice: In the middle of the night to first tell me, you found the answer in the Guardian book, then later that same morning Irma and I decided to tell her what was going on because she wasn't understanding why I wanted to be human." Jack placed his hands into his hoodies' pocket and walked only a few steps to his left nervously.

"Jack?"

Jack looked to the floor then back up at North. "Tooth kissed me. I kicked her out of the house because of that. She thought that we shared something special since the day I became Guardian, that me and her were supposed to be together and not Irma and I."

"That is cause for concern," North then said. "I will talk to her."

Jack gave a small smile, "Thank you."

"I do hope you have a wonderful life with your true love."

"Oh, I know I will." Jack's face once again brightened by the mention of his love.

North's face beamed with delight as he said, "I know fact I will be dropping presents to your home of future children!"

"Our kids will be looking forward to it." With a smirk, Jack asked, "would they be able to stay up to see you?"

North chuckled, "Maybe once."

"It won't be too long until that happens," Jack announced.

"Oh," he asked, raising his eyebrows?

Jack walked over to a pillar and leaned against it. "Well, since the day we reunited—things have been moving somewhat fast between us." He shrugged, "Not sure why. I mean, it could be this ten-day thing, or it's getting to where we left off all those centuries ago." He put a finger to his lips in thought, "Makes me wonder how far in our relationship we got before I became Jack Frost. I didn't see any memory of Irma and me when I finally found out who I once was."

"Perhaps, Baby Tooth and the others can retrieve both your memory boxes."

Jack smiled widely, "That'll be a great idea. That way, we can understand and know more about each other."

Jack looked up toward the ceiling and called out to the little fairies.

They flew down with curious faces.

Jack went straight to the point, "Can you please bring Irma's and mine's memory boxes?"

One of the fairies tweeted, "why?"

"I only saw a small part of my memories, and Irma needs to see her past life's. We need to see what our lives were like with one another. The love we shared that allowed us to reunite in this century."

The four fairies nodded and flew off, but Baby Tooth was called by Jack again and flew back to him.

"Baby Tooth, why didn't I see anything about her when I first saw the memories of my past?"

She tweeted, "The memory boxes only show you what you ask to see from your past."

He nodded slowly and whispered-though loud enough for the two to hear, "When I found out that I was someone before I was Jack Frost, I wanted to know where I came from if I had parents and siblings." He looked at North, "And also the reason why I was chosen to be a Guardian."

Jack adjusted himself against the pillar, placing a foot behind him against it and folding his arms across his chest. "I never thought to see if I had anything else special in my life. I should have been more thorough in what I needed to see."

"It wasn't your time then, Jack," North said. "You were meant to see what you were meant to see at that time."

North splayed his hand. "What if there is something in your other memories that could have distracted you in helping us defeat Pitch?"

Jack's eyes had a sad look to them now, "I guess." Then he thought to himself, Still would've been great to know, though.

"The past is past, Jack. No need to dwell."

Jack gave a smile, "Irma said the same thing."

"You should listen to her," North smiled back.

"I wish it were that simple," He looked down at the floor, "but it's hard to let go of something that one should have had, to understand that his meaning in life had something and that he wasn't alone, unwanted, and unseeing."

North placed a hand on Jack's shoulder, and Baby Tooth flew around his head. "I am so sorry what you had to endure for so long. And it was not fair to you. But, Jack, you must understand that Manny knew what he was doing and had reasons in doing so." Jack gave him a look, "I know, he forced you to wait too long a time. You are, where you must be, now. And that is all that matters because you can live your life as you please."

Jack swallowed, he needed to get ahold of himself already and not waste a day of this new-found life that he was finally given.

"You're right, you're right!" He pushed himself off of the pillar. "I need to start living in the moment and start focusing on the future. But Irma and I still need to see those memories."

Another tweet and before Baby Tooth left, North told her, "If you see Toothiana, tell her it is important that I speak with her."

Jack and North were once again left alone.

North changed the subject, "I have noticed you do not carry your staff."

"Yeah, I have no need for it anymore. And, though it's always been with me, I strangely don't miss it."

"Where is it?"

"It's at the house," Jack gave a curious look. "How come?"

"It is now just a relic and a piece of your history," North took a package out of his coat and handed it to him. Jack always wondered how many different size pockets he had in that thing!

"Another gift? This really isn't necessary, North."

"Even though we just talked about no longer looking backward, I thought that maybe you would appreciate this."

Jack hesitantly opened the red medium size box. Inside was his old white V-neck shirt with a brown leather vest and brown leather poncho.

"I thought these were thrown out?"

"Nah! Ye Oldie Outfitters of Urban Yore never throw clothes out."

Jack chuckled with a small shake of his head, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

There was silence until a growl was heard.

"Why don't you go get Irma, and I will have some food brought out to you?"

"I forgot we haven't eaten anything before we got here."

"I did not mean to rush you here to the pole."

"It's all right. We kinda forgot ourselves," Jack rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassingly.

"Ah, no matter! You both will have food in bellies in no time!"

North walked away to get food for them, and Jack walked toward the library.

Jack found Irma still in the Japanese section. She was so engrossed in a book that she jumped when he snuck up behind and wrapped his arms around her.

Jack snickered, "That must be a really good book."

Irma giggled, "It is! It's about romance."

"Does it tell our story?" He noticed that her coat was still partially unzipped and moved it away once again to place a kiss on her left shoulder.

She smiled as she moved her neck so he could kiss the length of it, "It has some similarities."

He laid his chin on her shoulder, now, tightening his embrace, "I can't wait until we go back home."

"Are we about to leave?" Irma put the book back into its place on the shelf.

"Not just yet. We're going to eat first, and I asked the little tooth fairies to bring our memory boxes so we could see what our past lives were like."

"Memory boxes?"

"The tooth fairies collect kid's teeth because they hold important memories. I thought it would be a good idea to see ours."

"I would like that." She leaned her head against his as she brought her left hand up as a sort of hug, before resting it in his hair.

"I could stay like this forever," Jack told her as he put his nose between her neck and shoulder.

"But then how can we start a family we both really want to have?" Irma asked, her hands now resting atop his that were still around her.

"I can still do you from back here." Jack lifted his head and removed one of his hands as he moved his body, somewhat, to spank her once.

This time she didn't gasp, but instead, smirked as she turned her head to look at him. "Is Mr. Mischievous coming out to play?"

"He really wants to."

She gave a pigeon laugh, then turned her body fully to face him, "You're going to have to keep him contained just a while longer, my love."

"It's killing me to have to wait any longer."

"I know. I'm eager too. But you know it's not the right time or place." Irma only wanted to peck him on the lips, but now, it was her soul's turn to intensify it to a deeper and more passionate kiss.

Jack laughed into the kiss. He backed her up against the bookcase and picked her up, forcing her to wrap her arms and legs around him.

The two hardly broke apart for air.

Because Jack had Irma firmly against the bookcase and wrapped around him, he knew she was steady. He took his hands away from her hips and brought them up to her jacket to take it off.

The two didn't stop the kiss for anything.

The jacket fell to the ground as Irma, one arm at a time, let it slide off.

Jack was happy the bulky red coat was off her, for it did nothing to accentuate her curves.

As he did when they were on her couch, he began to pull her shirt up. But was once again interrupted, this time, by bells and tweets.

Jack and Irma groaned into the kiss before stopping to see the interrupters. Jack quickly pulled her shirt back down and let her drop back onto her feet.

They looked embarrassingly at five elves and the four returning fairies.

All nine of them had surprised shock on their faces.

Jack cleared his throat, his eyes moving side to side, showing he was trying to come up with an excuse, and couldn't find one.

Irma picked up her jacket, putting it back on as she kept her eyes at her feet, not wanting to look at anyone who wasn't Jack, out of shyness.

Clearing his throat once more, his words caught in his chest, Jack finally let out, "We'll, we'll have tho-those memory boxes now."

The fairies flew over to him, and he took the two rounded gold boxes.

"Th-Thank you," he told the four. He then placed the memory boxes into his hoodie's pocket.

Jack began to slowly get his composure back and looked down at the still wide-eyed elves. "It's over! Get!"

The five elves backed away but remained.

Jack rolled his eyes as he put a comforting arm around his girlfriend as he said to the elves, "You're lucky I don't have my powers. Otherwise, I'd turn you into icicles. Now, scram!"

The elves ran in every direction, not wanting to know what Jack would do to them as a human. Unbeknownst to them, he wouldn't have done anything cruel to them, to begin with, as he did to one elf three years earlier.

Jack hadn't seen that elf since. He was pretty sure the elf hid every time Jack came around; afraid he'd be frozen once more.

But now, Jack was a changed man, and it hadn't anything to do with his being mortal. It had to do because he didn't want to lose this new life. And though he knew it would be a long while for his old ways to dissipate, he had to try.

And maybe, he can break that naughty list record? That was a question that could only be answered, Jack guessed, in two years, at least.

The tooth fairies were still there, and he looked at them, telling them that he would let them know when they were finished seeing their memories.

Jack and Irma were alone again. Irma looked over at Jack, who glanced around to be sure no other being was around.

Jack sensed her eyes on him and turned to look into them, but Irma glanced away just after a few seconds.

"Jack, this is getting crazy," she let go of him and leaned her shoulder against the bookshelf. "All I wanted to do was just give you a peck, yet it led to what happened before." She looked at him now with intense eyes, "After we see our memories, we need to get back home. And, if there are any kind of interruptions-," She took a step up to him and laid a hand on his chest, and told him, "I'm tired of this game! I don't want to keep stopping constantly. I want you so badly, Jack."

Jack took her hand that was upon his chest with both hands and brought it up to kiss it. "I know, I know. I'm aggravated too," he kissed her hand again, squeezing it gently with both hands. "I've been wanting you so badly since our first kiss. It's been hard trying to be a gentleman around you."

The two were fighting to contain their souls; Jack took a couple of steps back just to help keep the temptation at bay, but still held her hand.

They headed out of the library, and Jack led them to sit on a bay window to wait for someone to tell them lunch was ready.

Sorry, I keep teasing with Jack and Irma's itching to do it. But if you read all the chaps., you understand why. LOL

Can't wait to get to their memories! I believe you'll all enjoy/love that! You will see them in ch. 11.

I'm going to have ch. 10 be, finally, of Tooth. There, you may know what's going on with her. ;)

Again, please leave your reviews! It would be much appreciated. ^_^

And, as I said before, I have Jack Frost YT video links on my profile page.
