Clark sighed happily as he made his way down the familiar driveway, running a hand through some stalks of wheat, grinning like a mad man when he heard, and saw his mother encouraging their family dog to 'go get him'. Said sheepdog raced up to him, jumping up and wagging her tail as Clark bent down to give her a long overdue pat. With renewed excitement to finally be home, Clark walked briskly towards his mother who stood just in front of the porch, laughing and smiling, holding her arms out to him just happy to have her son home. "Well look at you!" Martha exclaimed as she embraced Clark, who in her opinion had only grown taller in the past however many years she hadn't seen him for.
Jemma watched from inside as Clark was reunited with his mother, the pair taking a seat on the front porch steps. Electing to stay inside until they had finished discussing whatever it was they were talking about, the petite woman finished drying the dishes in the rack and washed some more to pass the time. Not before long Jemma could see Martha and Clark getting up, walking towards the door, and the young woman quickly ran her hands through her hair, straightened her clothes and was in the middles of checking her face in a spoon when she heard his voice.
"You look beautiful." Clark said, Jemma slowly turning around to face him while casually hiding the spoon behind her back. She smiled at the smirk on his face and almost wanted to cry. She found it hard whenever they were separated and she couldn't wait for him to hold her again. Quickly stashing the spoon in her back pocket, Jemma rushed towards him, throwing her arms around his neck and crushing their lips together as his arms snaked around her waist, lifting her slightly off the ground. Clark had missed the taste of her lips and the warm shaky feeling that settled in his chest whenever she was near. He missed the way she walked, talked and the sound of her heartbeat. And not least of all he missed the soft curve of her backside underneath his han-
"Why do you have a spoon in your pocket?" Clark asked curiously, pulling away from her mouth and producing the offending item from behind her back. Jemma slowly opened her eyes, reaching up to grasp the spoon from his hand in a decidedly ashamed motion. "I… collect… spoons now?" She winced at her own stupid lie and squealed, throwing her arms around Clark's neck as he easily lifted her up, setting her on the nearby kitchen counter, standing between her legs and leaning with his arms on either side of her hips. "You collect spoons now?" He asked, leaning forward so their lips were almost touching. "You know what? It's a really boring hobby, I doubt you'd like to hear about it." Jemma mumbled and Clark raised an eyebrow. "You'd be surprised, why don't you tell me all about your spoon collecting over, say, a bath?" He teased getting that intense look in his amazingly blue eyes that made her go weak in the knees every time. "You know Clark, I would really, really love to, I mean it has been two weeks since we last saw each other, but I think your Mom is coming…" Jemma told him, making Clark quickly take a couple steps away from her. The brunette slid down from the counter top just as Martha walked into the room. "What are you up to?" She asked conspiratorially and raised an eyebrow at the guilty looks on both their faces. "Mom, did you know Jemma collects spoons?" Clark asked with a smirk, earning a sharp but completely unwinding elbow to the side from Jemma. Waving a hand in the air as if to brush the moment aside, Martha walked fully into the kitchen eyeing the pair.
"I'm going to make a start on dinner now, I think it's best you go get cleaned up." She said pulling some pots and pans from the cupboard. "Oh, I'll help!" Jemma exclaimed taking a step forward but stopping in her tracks with one swift look from the older woman. "Both of you." Martha repeated sending them both the 'stay away from my kitchen for the next hour' look. Clark gently took Jemma's hand led her up the stairs.
How ever long they were staying, it was going to be a good time.
