Glimpses of Forever

by april-avery

"And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever. Forever's gonna start tonight." This is what comes later and some other stuff, too. A collection of Japril Drabbles from Tumblr prompts. They are not sequential just whatever felt right for each prompt. Most occur after Jackson and April are back together. Some are from the past. Other characters show up too.

Tumblr Drabble #23: Prompt: Jackson hears April talking in her sleep and drops hints the next morning that he knows what she was dreaming about. Dream can be about anything. :)

Jackson woke up one morning to the sound of April saying his name. He looked down to see she was very much asleep, her head still resting on his bare chest.

"Jackson, please!" April was begging him for something in her sleep.

He couldn't help but listen, wanting to know what was going on in her head. He was careful not to wake her.

"Jackson, I changed him the last time," April continued sleep talking as Jackson started to realize what she was dreaming about. Soon the room grew quiet again as April's talking subsided.

Knowing April, she was dreaming about them with their baby. It broke his heart a little because he knew how much she wanted a baby. He laid there for a little while just watching her sleep until she began to stir.

"Good morning," Jackson whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Morning," April responded, "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good," Jackson smiled, "Just wondering what you're thinking about? Diapers?"

"Huh?" April asked confused at where he got that idea.

"You were talking in your sleep," Jackson teased.

"Don't tease," April retorted, "You shouted in your sleep for months after the shooting. You shouldn't talk."

"Fair," Jackson agreed, "Were you dreaming about if we still had Samuel?"

"No actually I was dreaming we had more kids, twins actually," April answered, "A boy and a girl."

"I've been thinking about having more kids too, actually," Jackson confessed.

"How long before you think we'll be ready to try again?" April asked him curiously.

"How about right now? I think if we wait until we think we are ready we are always going to be waiting," Jackson answered, "Having more children, doesn't mean we love Sam any less."

"Really?" April questioned, "It's not too soon?"

"I think whenever we choose to try to have another baby is the right time," Jackson reassured her.

"Okay, then let's start trying to have another baby," April agreed eagerly, kissing Jackson passionately.
