A/N: Cara is an OC from my story "the beginning is the end is the beginning" and is Jack's live-in nanny
Jack leaned over the back of the couch, face in his hands as he looked out the window. Cara smiled as she watched him, folding the laundry.
"Whatcha thinkin', little man?" she asked.
"It looks cold out."
She nodded. "The weatherman said it was very very cold out."
He gave a dramatic sigh. "I want it to be warm again."
"Me too."
He turned around, laying down to face her, his head on a cushion. "Do we hafta go out today?"
Cara shook her head. "Not if you don't want to."
"I wanna stay in."
She smiled. "Okay."
"And watch movies."
"Okay."
"And have hot chocolate."
She chuckled as his list grew. "Okay."
"And have grilled cheese."
Cara grinned, leaning over and poking his tummy. "A man after my own heart. Those all sound like great ideas."
"Can we start with Aslan?"
Looking down at the laundry basket, she decided that the clothes could wait. She stood up and popped the first Narnia movie in before moving to the kitchen. It didn't take long for her to make the hot chocolate, and when she brought it back into the living room, she found Jack already engrossed in the movie. She set the mugs down and sat next to him, smiling as he cuddled against her and rested his head on her chest.
"I wish Daddy could be here," he said quietly.
Glancing out at the cold and snow, Cara found herself hoping that he was inside somewhere warm. She kissed the top of Jack's head.
"Me too, buddy," she whispered.
And she meant it.
