Before we start I just want to mention something - For those of you who read the Myles and Lucy story with the unknown title that I started I'm really sorry but I deleted it because I was not happy with it xx I will be writing but it will be a different approach xx
Back to Jack and Sue
Here we go the end of the date xx A couple of chapters left to go two maybe three xx
As the night got darker Jack leaned over towards the picnic basket and pulled out two candles, digging them into the sand he lit both creating a lighter more romantic setting around them. Sue snuggled into his side smiling at the gesture and in that moment she knew she loved him more than she thought was possible.
It was another hour before Jack or Sue moved from their place on the beach. The only movement between the pair was kisses to each other, hugs or shifts in position to get comfortable.
"Can we stay here forever?" Sue asked dreamily
Jack moved slightly so Sue could see his face "I wish honey"
"Me to, no stress, no chasing bad guys, just you and me"
Jack looked Sue in the eye and he knew he could quite easily get used to that way of living. He could picture the two of them curled up on the beach while their three children played in the sand with Levi. He could see her wrapping the three of them up in a big towel as they came back for dinner, teaching them to swim in the water, Levi chasing the waterfowls, hiking though the wooded area behind the rocks, definitely a life he could get used to...
"What?" she asked we she saw him just staring at her
"Mmmmm" he responded as she bought him back from his musing "Sorry I was just thinking"
"About?" She asked
"You and me living here, Levi playing in the sand, our children playing in the water"
Sue couldn't help but smile, whenever she pictured her life in the future Jack was with her as the father of her children, placing a light kiss on his lips she said "I love you Hudson" and snuggled back into him
Jack hugged her tighter and lifted her face to see his "I love you too Sue, so much" before kissing her passionately. After a few minutes of pleasure Jack spoke "I think we better move from here before we do stay forever, how about a walk before we go home."
"Ok, but in a minute" she replied before snuggling back down
A further twenty minutes later Sue and Jack finally mustered the energy to stand up; they moved, folded up the blankets and placed them inside the now empty picnic basket
"Where shall walk across the beach or through the park that on the other side of those rocks?" Jack asked
"Beach" Sue answered
"Beach it is, but first I'll run the basket back up to the car, wait here I'll be back before you miss me"
"Ok, I'll wait here and I doubt I'll miss you at all" she said will a teasing look in her eyes
With that Jack put his shoes back on and disappeared up the path while Sue stood looking out at the water thinking
'I could definitely get used to staying here, Jack as my husband, our children playing in the water, Jack teaching them to swim, Levi playing in the sand and water with the children, our two daughters laughing as their younger brother falls over in the sand. All three of them would be the image of Jack, big brown eyes that would probably have their father wrapped around their fingers, have aspects of me too, my ability to solve problems, my kindness but definitely Jack's eyes'
She was bought back from her musing by a familiar scent getting closer, a scent she knew well it was the scent of Jack Hudson, turning around she was greeted by the man of her musings
"Hey you"
"Hey, missed me?" he asked
"Maybe a little bit"
"You know I could go home and leave you here to walk back to the city by yourself"
Sue laughed "You could but you're too much of a gentleman to do that"
"That's true like I told you earlier we are a rare breed, shall we" he asked holding out his arm
Sue nodded but instead of taking his arm she lifted it up and hugged into his side her arms around his waist while his draped around hers and together they walked up the beach with Jack insisting he carried her shoes.
Their walk didn't last long because before long the children in them took over and they started chasing each other across the sand. When Jack caught her he scooped her up and moved towards the water her in his arms
"Jack Hudson don't you dare" she said sternly as he moved closer to the water "I mean it Hudson, don't you dare drop me in this water" she said more sternly as he grinned and winked at her wickedly
He couldn't help but laugh at her squeak as he slowly lowered her body to the water but stopped just in time before turning around and headed back up the beach, kissing her nose he put her down to continue their walk, but not before she whacked him gently on the arm.
The playful mood still in them they decided it would be fun to try and walk in different positions first they tried walking with Sue in front of Jack, his arms around her waist resting on her stomach, her hands on top of his. After a few steps of laughing and trying to walk this way they gave up, especially after Jack's foot hit hers and they nearly landed face first in the sand.
After deciding this was a bad idea Jack tried giving Sue and piggy back as they walked but once again after nearly landing face first in the sand decided this was a bad idea and resorted back to walking in their original position still laughing together.
"You ok baby" Jack asked when he saw Sue watching him as they walked
"Yeah, I was just thinking about what you said earlier about our children playing on the beach. I was picturing it earlier when you took the basket back. Did you mean it?"
"Did I mean what?"
"What you said about the children being ours"
Stopping their walk he took her hands "Yes babe I meant it. There is no-one else in the world for me. I only want you; I want you as my wife, the mother of my children. I want you there when I go to sleep; I want you there when I wake up and I want to love you more everyday and I want to do it for the rest of our lives."
"Are you proposing Jack?" she asked shocked
"Not yet, first I want to date you and make you feel special because you miss Thomas deserve to be spoilt but one day I will ask you to marry me and I will make sure that you have the wedding of your dreams"
Sue didn't have any words at that moment, which was a good job because she was sure her voice would fail her anyway, so she did the only thing she could, she flung her arms around him kissing his face and neck all over before capturing his lips with her own her tongue seeking his as the kiss went deeper and deeper, her hands teasing him as she played with the hair on his neck and the top of his shirt as his moved up and down her back, breaking apart only when air become a necessity, he placed a trail of kisses from her shoulder up her neck, lingering and teasing one spot with his tongue when her body to respond deeply to him
"Jac..." she trailed off forcing herself to remain standing as his lips and tongue teased and pleasured the side of her neck, with great determination and regret she moved back and looked at him "Jack, I think we better stop before we do something on this beach that will get us in a lot of trouble with Metro PD"
Jack smiled as he realised what she meant "You're right baby that would be a tough thing to explain to the team in the morning"
"No babe not tough, embarrassing maybe, but not tough" not wanting to completely break contact she played with his shirt button and asked "But can you just hold me for a little longer before we move"
"Definitely, come here beautiful" he replied as he open his arms and pulled her towards him
Wrapping her arms around his body she moved in tighter and sighed she was finally where she wanted to be in Jack's arms and any doubts she had about their future had been taken away.
Stepping back slightly she moved Jack's wrist to look at his watch to look at the time "Guess we should be going home" she said sadly, she didn't want to leave, but it was going to take at least 45 minutes to drive back, plus they both had to be in the office at 8am and she would like some sleep tonight
"I guess so" Jack replied, before picking her up in his arms as she squeaked in surprise
"Hudson put me down" she laughed as he run towards the path
Jack stopped running as he reached the path "Your wish is my command princess" he said as he placed her gently on the step at the edge. Taking her shoes off Jack she put them back on her feet, stood up and together they walked back up the path towards the car. Getting in Jack once again made sure she was safe and comfortable before getting in the driver's seat, pausing slightly before starting the engine
"So baby, are you ready to go back to reality?"
"No, but we really should"
Placing a kiss to her cheek he started the engine and began the drive back to Sue's apartment, her head back on shoulder.
Before Jack had realised they were back outside Sue's apartment, glancing down he couldn't help but smile at Sue's sleeping form
Shaking her arm gently she stirred and slowly opened her eyes "Sweetheart we're home, come on let's get you inside to bed"
Taking her hand he led her inside, her head on his shoulder as she struggled to stay awake. Reaching the door she snuggled into him smiling
"Thank you Jack, tonight has been more special than I could have imagined it would be"
Lifting her head he placed a kiss to her nose "You're welcome" he spoke and signed "You just wait till our next date; I meant what I said earlier I intend to spoil you as often as I can, now go get some sleep, I'll come by at 7:30 and take you for breakfast"
"Ok, I love you Jack"
"Love you too baby", he said stepping closer, placing his arm around her waist he pulled her closer "Come here you" he spoke softly before pulling her into a passionate kiss
Breaking apart Sue was breathing heavily "W. O.A. H" she "What was that for?
"For just being you and as much as I hate to say this I should go and you should go in there and go to bed"
"Ok, I'll go"
Reluctantly she stepped out of his arms and put her key in the door, she was about to step inside when Jack spun her round "One more"
She didn't have time to answer him; his lips were on hers effectively swallowing her words with his tongue, nibbling his bottom lip they parted once more
"Ok, now I really think you should go to bed" Jack said
"I'm going, Good Night Jack, I love you"
"Love you too baby, I'll see you in the morning"
This time Sue managed to get inside the apartment and after reading a note from Lucy stating Alice was unwell so she was spending the night she dreamily walked towards the bathroom to wash her face and clean her teeth. When she was done she headed towards her bedroom, entering she pulled out her well worn number 25 hockey jersey and pulled it on. She was about to get into bed but had one thing she wanted to do first, opening the bag she had as hand luggage on her flight she removed a delicate silver frame and placed it on the table beside her bed. Moving the covers she climbed into bed and looked at the picture
"Goodnight Jack, I love you" she said softly before placing a kiss to her finger and pressing it to his picture, placing her head back on the pillow she drifted off to sleep her dreams filled with memories of their first date
Jack made his way back to his apartment happier and relaxed than he had in a long time. Everything he had ever wanted had finally come true, he had Sue in his life and she was hopefully going to be there forever. Entering the apartment he made his way to the bathroom to clean his teeth and wash his face. Coming back towards the bedroom he pulled out his cherished number 25 hockey jersey and walked over to his bed and got in, turning towards his nightstand his eyes locked on picture slightly hidden by the larger frame containing his parents' photo. Picking up the picture he placed a kiss to the frame before placing it in front of the larger frame, placing his head on the pillow he whispered
"Good night Baby, I love you" before he too drifted off to sleep his dreams also filled with the memories of their first date
