Monday was the last time she'd seen Jack and it was now Saturday evening. She was sitting on the couch flipping through the channels too fast to see what was actually playing. "Kate what are you doing?" Rebecca asked
"Trying to find something to watch" She said flicking the button on the remote even faster now
Rebecca sat down beside her "Well you're not going to find something like that" she said taking the remote from her, Kate was about to protest but before she could her friend told her "Go see him Kate"
Kate shot her a confused look "What?"
"Jack just go see him if you want too" She stated like it was such an obvious solution
Kate got up and grabbed the phone, walking towards the kitchen as she left Rebecca sat on the couch smiling, shaking her head at her friend's behavior.
In the kitchen she pondered the idea of calling Jack for a little while before finally just doing it. Dialing the number she heard it ring twice before a soft little voice answered the phone "Hello"
"Hi Aaron" She smiled into the phone
"Who's this?" he asked
Laughing a little she replied "It's Kate"
"Who's Kate?" the little boys asked again, and Kate laughed at the million questions the little guy had, realizing he probably didn't know Kate she replied again "It's Miss Austen"
"Hi Miss Austen!" Aaron said happily and then went silent "But I wasn't bad why you calling my daddy?" he asked, but before Kate could answer Jack came in and grabbed the phone, he'd heard Aaron from the kitchen scream her name so he figured he'd better go save her.
"Hey Kate" Jack said pressing the phone to his ear, an telling Aaron to go get ready, he walked back to the kitchen
"Hi Jack, I was uh just wondering what you're doing?" She asked and blushed feeling awkward
"Well right now I'm making popcorn" He laughed "Aaron wanted to watch land before time tonight"
"Oh that sounds fun" She chuckled and then the line was silent
"Listen Kate, do you want to uh come and watch it with us?" He asked "I know it's not the funest Saturday but…" he added right after until she cut him off
"I'd love to come watch it with you and Aaron" She smiled
Jack smiling on the other end was kind of shocked Kate wanted to spend her weekend watching kid's movies. "Ok, So I'll see you soon"
"See you soon Jack" She said before hanging up and driving over there.
Knocking on the door, Jack answered "Hey" he said greeting her with a quick kiss
"Miss Austen?" They turned around to see Aaron standing behind them "What are you doing here" he asked sweetly
"I came to watch land before time with you, is that okay?" She smiled at him
Smiling he nodded yes "But you'll still gonna watch it too right Daddy? You don't have to go work?" He asked sadly
Jack picked him up "I'm not going anywhere buddy" he told him and a big smile spread on his little face.
Aaron went to the kitchen to get the popcorn while Jack and Kate placed themselves on the sofa. Jack had his arm over Kate shoulder and she was leaning into him "Thanks for inviting me" She smiled at him
"Thanks for coming" He replied sweetly and she raised her hand to his hair running her fingers through it "You're hair grew" she stated
Jack chuckled "Kate it's only been four days since I seen you"
She moved closer to him, looking into his eyes "Well maybe I just missed you" she said before kissing him softly "I missed you too" he told her when they pulled apart, she leaned into him again but stopped when they heard Aaron coming into the room.
The little boy walked over to the sofa, and placed himself in the middle of Jack and Kate, wiggling his way in between them, and placing the popcorn on his lap. Jack looked over at Kate giving her an apologetic smile and she mouthed 'It's okay', she actually thought it was nice that Aaron didn't want to share his daddy tonight.
About 45 minutes into the movie Aaron was fast asleep on with his head resting on Jack's lap and his little legs curled up on Kate's lap. Picking him up carefully not to wake him Jack told Kate he was going to bring him upstairs.
Coming back down a few minutes later he saw that Kate had taken his sweatshirt from the chair and was fast asleep on the sofa using the sweater as a pillow, he smiled at how cute she looked all cuddled up on his sofa. He thought about waking her but she looked like she needed the rest, so he grabbed a small blanket from the back of the sofa and gently placed it on her, removing a curl from her face, he kissed her forehead softly "Goodnight Kate"
Kate awoke the next morning, rubbing the sleep from her eyes; she smiled remembering where she was. And looked down at the blanket on her smiling again she thought Jack must have done that. Speaking of Jack, the house was really quiet could they still be sleeping? No she thought Aaron's a little boy they don't sleep in right? She sat there wondering before getting up and waking passed the screen door leading to the back yard she saw them
They were shooting a little blue foam football back and forth before Jack picked Aaron up and raised him above his head; Kate opened the door to hear Aaron giggling "Super man!"
They turned around to see Kate and Jack let Aaron back down to the ground.
"Morning" Jack said and she smiled walking up to him placing a kiss on his cheek "What are you two doing out here?"
"We're playing football!" Aaron jumped up excitedly
"Wanna play Miss Austen" he asked smiling at her with the little football in his hands
She nodded looking at Jack "Sure"
Aaron ran up to her , grabbing her hand and pulling her over to where he had been standing "Great, You're on my team, and daddy's alone cause he's big" The cute little boy explained to her
Shooting the ball to her and her shooting it back to Aaron for a little while Jack not touching the ball. Kate went next to where Jack was standing and poking Aaron in the side, and the little boy laughing cause it tickled, Kate shot Aaron the ball, But his laughter made him miss it and Jack picked it up walking over to Kate and Aaron imaginary touchdown line and dropping the ball, Aaron running to follow him along with Kate.
"Hey no fair" Aaron shouted through his laughter and tackled his daddy, Jack purposely fell to the ground Aaron sitting on top of him, laughing into his chest. Kate walked over laughing at the two of them. "What are you laughing at?" Jack asked before pulling her down with them. They all layed there on the ground together smiling and laughing.
And they spent the rest of the afternoon, playing backyard football together.
So what do you think? let me know:)
