he entire ride home consisted of Jasey asking if we put on 'daddy's music' on in the car and Alex talking to her about how every member in a band counts. Oh well, she can learn it young. I was just enjoying having Jack and Alex here, Zack, Rian and Cass were following us in the car behind and Em came tomorrow, I barely got to see her anymore since I moved to Baltimore. That's probably the one thing I miss about Essex. We pulled up in front of our apartment, I took Jasey out her car seat and sat her on my hip. Jack walked to the boot.
'Will you need a hand?' I ask with a smile.
'No it's fine, you've got Rae.' He said
'Okay.' I said, Jack stepped forward suddenly and latched his lips onto mine. I kissed him back gratefully, until I felt Jasey getting restless in my arms.
'I love you' he whispered to me.
'Love you too Jackaboo' I said and headed inside. Jasey was smiling at me as I trudged up the stairs.
'What?' I said with a laugh.
'Nothing.' She said and tucked her head into the crook of my neck. I fumbled one handedly with the key to my apartment.
'I got it.' Said a voice behind me and a big hand took the key out my hand. I smiled as Zack pushed the key into the door and opened it for us. Jasey yawned in my arms and I noticed she had drifted off, I laughed.
'Better put her to bed.' I said and wandered into her bedroom and gently put her into her bed. I smiled down at her, my perfect daughter.
'Sleep well.' I said and kissed her fore head. I wandered back outside, Zack was standing awkwardly in the hallway.
'She's like a girl harry potter.' He said with a smile.
'Huh?'
'Looks like her dad but has her mother's eyes. Green eyes.' He said, I laughed.
'Yeah, you're right.' I said.
'She's beautiful Leda bunnie.' He said, I smiled, he hadn't called me that in a while. He had been so distant since Jasey was born.
'Thanks Zacky.' I said and he smiled. Then Alex burst through the door, his arms filled with cases.
'Ssshh!' I said as he knocked over a plant pot 'Jasey's sleeping!' He gave me an apologetic look.
'Clutz.' I mumbled and grabbed a case to help him.
I spent all night talking to the guys, Zack, Rian and Cass headed at about mid-night. And Alex fell asleep on our couch about an hour before, oh well, he can leave in the morning. I crawled into bed at about 2am, I was about to fall asleep when I felt jacks arms wrap around me and pull me into his chest. I smiled against him, he was so warm and his familiar scent washed over me. It was sort of a musky vanilla smell and I loved it so much. I settled back down and just as I drifted away he whispered 'I love you.' In my ear and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
'Wake up! Wake up! wake up!' Jasey yelled bouncing on our bed, I opened my eyesn light was flooding through the window.
'Morning Rae!' I said cheerfully, she bounced on to my lap and sat down. Jack groaned and pulled the covers over his head.
'Daddy's not a morning person is he?' She said giggling.
'No, he's super lazy.' I said 'why don't we go make some pancakes while he wakes up fully!' I said
'Yay, pancakes!' Jasey squealed bouncing up and down on my lap. I pulled her onto my hip, she was wearing the Hey Monday baby pyjamas Cass had got her for her birthday a couple of months ago, her hand clutched around Alex's stuffed rabbit. I popped her up on the kitchen counter.
'Right! Let's get the ingredients!' I said and started scanning the fridge, humming Poppin' Champagne to myself as I grabbed the stuff out the fridge. Alex wandered in.
'Hey kiddo!' He said to Jasey, who bounced of the counter and into his arms. He laughed, 'hey baby girl, you need a hand?'
'Yeah actually, do you mind making your special chocolate pancakes?' I said with a sweet smile.
'Pweaaassseeee?' Jasey said in his arms.
'Fine.' He said laughing.
'Yay!' Jasey said and Alex put her back on the counter.
'You should wake the beast.' Alex joked, I laughed. 'Waking the demon!' I sang as I ran back up the stairs. There was movement from inside our room so he must be up, I wandered in just as he was pulling on a shirt.
'You're awake!' I joked
'Well done professor!' He said sarcastically with a childlike smile. I hit him playfully on the shoulder.
'Did you just hit me?' He said in mock horror.
'Yeah I did! Whatchu goanna do about it?' I replied immaturely. He stood for a second before pouncing on me, pinning me to the bed and tickling me to death.
'Jack...please...stop.' I got out between gasps.
'Never!' He said 'not until you apologise!' And started tickling harder, I decided to take jurastic measures and leaned down and bit his hand.
'Youch!' He said and jumped off me.
'Did you just bite me?' He said laughing.
'You have met your match Barakat.' I said
'You still have much to learn young padwan.' He said and picked up a cushion, tossing me one. He looked at me for a second smirking before smashing the pillow down on my head. I laughed at hit him as hard as I could with mine. We started a pillow fight, giggling like we were 15 again.
We walked back into the kitchen our fingers locked together. Alex was giving jasey a lesson on how to flip pancakes properly, I laughed as one hit the ceiling and fell at Jack's feet.
'Dude if you're gonna make a mess do it at your own house.' He said and scooped the pancake of the ground and throwing it in the trash. We ate quickly because we were running really late for picking up Emily at the airport.
'Let's go!' I said and grabbed Jasey out of her chair Jack laughed and ran after me out the door.
'See you later!' I called back to Alex before slamming the door and dashing to the car.
We were about half way to the airport when it happened. The accident. A car suddenly pulled out infront of me and I lost control of the car. The last thing I remember was my hair smashing of the steering wheel and the sound of Jasey's screams
