Chapter number 45. Not over yet

Jack opened his eyes the next morning to find himself in Martha's room. Martha lay in his arms, sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but smile, she looked so beautiful there with her head rested on his shoulder, her face looked so innocent, so pure and flawless and her lips, even though they were rested fairly normally, seemed to almost smile. He tried not to move, he didn't want to wake her just yet.

Martha's eyes flickered as she took in a deep breath as she woke. It took her a second to realize that she wasn't alone this morning, she hadn't woken up with someone by her side since before she ran away from the bay seven years ago when she was still nineteen. It felt nice with him there, looking down at her and smiling, "good morning beautiful" he spoke warmly, "did I wake you?"

"No" she smiled peacefully snuggling her head up against Jack's bare chest, she felt so happy today, the sun was shinning through the window and already in the ten seconds of her being awake she was feeling as happy as a child with a bag of lollies, "last night was amazing" she said honestly running her hand up his chest.

"Mmm, it was" he murmured feeling relaxed, reaching his hand down softly to touch Martha's jaw line and gently guide her face up to meet his lips.

Martha cupped his face as she moved her entire body up, "I love you so much" she mumbled with her lips still joined with his.

------------------------------------------------

"Well it's about time you two got up" Tony said as Jack and Martha made there way out to the kitchen, "where did you get to Jack, I checked your room and you weren't there?"

"Um, u I, u" Jack started.

"I don't think we want to know" Lucas butted in, shaking his head and turning back around to eat more of his cereal.

"I agree" Maddie added, looking down at her bowl.

Tony looked at Jack and Martha both standing there, he looked to Jack, then to Martha, then back to Jack again. A flashback came to hims mind, he suddenly remembered the day just over a week ago when he saw Jack coming out of Martha's room looking a bit messed up. "Oh" he managed to say, "well anyway there's more breakfast on the bench, help yourselves".

------------------------------------------------

"Waaaaaaaaa" Izzy cried at the top of her lungs in the living room of the Macklin's Mansion where the whole family was getting ready for the day, "waaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

"Well someone's in a great mood today" Boyd grumbled sarcastically as he lifted Izzy out of her play pen.

"Yeah and has been all last night" Rose mumbled as she waked across to the kitchen still half asleep.

"Hey was she keeping you up last night?" Boyd asked, putting Izzy back down after she'd settled and walked over behind her into the kitchen.

"yeap" she sighed, lifting the milk out of the fridge and putting it down on the bench.

"Well how about I mind her for the day and you can get some proper rest" he suggested, wrapping his arms around her from behind and planting a kiss on the side of her head.

"you sure?" she asked turning around so that she could see him.

"Yes I am, you just get the sleep you need alright" he told her, rubbing his nose against hers.

"Ok" she agreed, "I might worry about breakfast later than" she told him before giving him a hug and heading back downstairs to bed.

"So did Izzy keep anyone else up last night?" Boyd asked as he rentered the lounge room where Bret, Roo and Danielle were sitting on the couch.

"Not really" Danielle answered looking up from her book, "I hear her one or twice" she added before hearing the door bell ring. "I'll get it" she offered hopping up and going down the stairs quickly to see who it was.

When she opened it she got the shock of her life, "m... mum?"

Boyd walked over to the top of the stairs to see what all the fuss was about only to see the exact person he wanted to avoid, "Janae what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to get my daughter" she snapped, not looking to pleased at all, grabbing Danielle's arm and trying to pull her towards her.

"I'm not going anywhere with you" Danielle protested.

"Oh yes you are sweetheart".

"No she's not!" Rose's furious voice entered the room as she came up the other set of stairs to see Janae at the door.

"Long time no see Rose" Janae faked a smile.

"Not long enough" Rose mumbled under her breath.

"Well come on Dani, Fred's got the car waiting" said Janae.

"Well why don't you hurry along then, I'm sure you'll both be very happy without me".

"Dani" Janae pushed.

"She's not going anywhere" Boyd repeated as he made his way down the stairs and behind Danielle.

"Fine, but you better get your self a good lawyer, cause you'll be hearing from mine soon" she warned, holding her shoulders high, straightening up her jacket and turning to walk away all high and mighty.

------------------------------------------------

Jack walked down the drive way of the Holden's place near the beach of Summer bay, he opened the letter box and removed the mail from it, flicking through it as he walked back towards the house, one of them was just a folded up piece of paper, no envelope or address on it, just a piece of paper.

Jack unfolded it quickly, on it was only one line:

It's not over yet, you better watch your back.

Seeing this Jack panicked and rushed back inside, feeling a little more at ease when he saw Martha still sitting at the breakfast table laughing at his brothers stupid jokes.

"Wow, you ok Jack? You look like you just saw a ghost" Lucas teased him.

"We need to call Peter" he spat out.

"What? Why? What's going on?" Martha asked, looking concerned as she walked towards him, he handed her the piece of paper he had read and waited anxiously as she read it, her face going from happy to scared, "It's not over yet is it?"

Jack just shock his head, "I'm afraid not".

------------------------------------------------

Beth was humming happily to herself as she stood behind the counter of Noah's bar.

"So how's my favorite girl today?" Tony asked as he came up to the other side of the bench.

"Excellent" she smiled, "this Christmas party is going to be a blast".

"Don't get to excited, it's still another three weeks away" Tony laughed, "and besides, we've still got to focus on a big even in two weeks remember?"

"Yeah of course, I haven't forgot Jack's birthday, how olds he going to be again?"

"thirty one" Tony told her.

"Wow they grow up quick don't they?"

"Yeah tell me about it".

------------------------------------------------

Half an hour later

Peter walked down the cold building of the local prison, he had to act quick, he'd got a phone call from Jack just before he came about a letter they'd received in the mail. It couldn't be from Jesse, he'd been in top security since his arrest, there had to be someone else... he didn't know who, but there was more too this than Jemma had told them, that's why he was here now, he had to get more out of her, he had to find out the whole truth.

He came to the cell she was locked in, number fifty five just like the guard had told him, and there she sat on her chair, bored and tired, "hey" she smiled, she hadn't had many visitors, and when she did she didn't want them to leave, she needed anyone to talk to to stop her thinking about Matt who was still in the cell next to her.

"Hey Jemma, mind if I ask you a few more questions?" Peter asked pulling up a chair on the other side of the bars and sitting down.

"Not at all what's wrong?"

"Well Jack Holden got some disturbing mail today and I was wondering if there was any other contacts Jesse had that could still be out there" he explained.

"I wouldn't be able to answer that one properly for you, he had many contacts, but I never had anything to do with them, they were always kept very tight lipped and he never put more than one of his associates in the same room as him at a time" she told him, "sorry I wish I could give you the answer you wanted".

"Thats ok, just one more question though" he started, "did you ever hear any of his conversations with any of these other contacts?"

"No sorry, like I said it was all very tight security" she answered shaking her head.

Peter nodded, getting up on his feet and turning to go before Jemma stopped him, "I can tell you something though" she grabbed his attention, "he's got an office underneath the basement he kept me and Lara in, it's under the wooden book case that's not attached to the wall, anything that might help you would be in there".

Please review, I'll try my best to update when I've got two or more.
