Chapter 11

"Daddy!"

Is all they hear as they enter the living room. Jack sees Aaron jumping down of Sam's lap and running over to him; he crouches down and opens his arms taking in the small boy. Once he had a firm hold on him he stood up with him still in his arms.

Jack: "Hey buddy." Jack kisses the side of Aaron's head.

Sam: "Katie, what's going on?" He asks surprised.

Kate: " Erm daddy this is Jack, Jack my dad, Sam." She says somewhat nervously.

Aaron: "Daddy, daddy. That grandpa, he a soldier; we played with my cars and, and we painted pictures." He says very excitedly, Jack smiles at Aaron.

Jack: "Wow; sounds like you had a fun day." Aaron nods, Jack looks to Kate, and then to Sam, they both are smiling too. Jack moves Aaron to his left hip, and holds his right hand out to Sam.

Jack: "Nice to meet you Mr Austen."

Sam shakes Jacks hand and smiles at the firm shake.

Sam: " Likewise, and please, call me Sam." Jack nods, and places his hand back around Aaron, getting a firmer grip. Aaron lets out a loud yawn all adults turn to him, Kate checks her watch, and lets out a little surprised gasp.

Kate walks towards Aaron and stokes his hair. He is now resting his head in the crook of Jack's neck.

Kate: "Hey, buddy, wow we had some fun today didn't we, why don't we get you off to bed."

Kate looks to Jack, who goes to hand Aaron to her but she shakes her head. She turns to Sam.

Kate: "Dad, do you mind waiting here for a little while, whilst I take Aaron to bed, then I'll come back and take you home ok?"

He shakes his head and tells them both to take the little lad to bed, that he would be fine. He even offered to get a taxi to which Kate shot down straight away. Now Kate had set off up the stairs with Jack and a very sleepy Aaron behind her.

Jack places Aaron in his bed and sits in the chair beside his bed. Kate sits next to Aaron on the bed. Aaron lets out another yawn then looks over at Jack a little smile on his face.

Aaron: " Daddy can you read Goodnight moon pwease."

Jack smiles then looks beside him in the book box, he then looks over at Kate who leans over and grabs the book from off the floor. She smiles at Jack as she hands it him.

Kate: " We got a new favorite."

Jack smiles then nods and leans back as he begins to read.

Jack: " In the great green room there was a telephone; and a red balloon, and a picture of, the cow jumping over the moon…"

Jack continued reading as Aaron's eyes began to close.

Jack: " And there were three little bears, sitting on chairs, and two little kittens and a pair of mittens."

He looked over at Kate who was stoking Aaron's hair helping him fall asleep. Although the boy was visibly worn out and clearly could not fight the sleep anymore. Kate looked over at him as Jack had stopped reading, he looks a little puzzled then Kate smiles.

Kate: " You need to finish the story."

Jack chuckles, and Kate looks down then back at Jack.

Jack: "He's clearly asleep Kate. You can hear him snore just like you do."

He chuckles, as he sees the look on Kate's face, and as he sees she's about to yell and disagree he quickly place his finger on his lips and the other pointing to Aaron.

Kate: " Yeah, yeah whatever Shep, you're still finishing that story. You can't not finish that book."

She smiles again as Jack chuckles.

Jack: "You want some milk and cookies before I continue?"

Jack bursts into a fit of giggles as Kate showing a look of pretend hurt by putting her hand on her mouth before falling into the laughter too. They hear some movement from Aaron and both freeze, turning to see if they had woken him. Luckily, Aaron was just turning on his side. Both Jack and Kate settled back down and Jack got the book and continued to read.

Jack: " And a little toy house and a young mouse, and a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush and a quiet old lady who was whispering, "hush"."

Kate closed her eyes just listening to Jacks soothing voice, just hoping he would read it all, so she could just keep him around a little longer. Jack continues but looks over at Kate, he had a feeling why she wanted him to continue the story, just like he was glad when she had not asked him to stop.

Jack: "Goodnight room, goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon, goodnight light and the red balloon."

He continued until he neared the end, all the while glancing up at Kate who had let a few yawns out herself. He smiled again, although a little sad to be ending the story, and possibly Kate's house. Would she ask him to leave when she took Sam home, or ask him to stay until she got home?

Jack: "… Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush, and goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush". Goodnight stars, goodnight air. Goodnight noises everywhere. Goodnight Aaron."

He closed the book and placed it where Kate had got it from, and stood. He looked over at Kate who looked at him, then back at Aaron. She kissed Aaron's cheek, and said goodnight herself, then stood facing Jack. Jack leaned down and kissed Aaron's cheek too, then turned the light out on the table beside him. Jack stood back and saw Kate making her way out the room; he looked at Aaron and then followed Kate out the door. He was just hoping that he would see Aaron a lot sooner than what it had took to get him here tonight.

So there you go, I hope there are still some of you reading this let me know what you think on this and my suggestion lol as always thanks for reading and reviewing ;) Lauren x
