She rests her forehead back against his a moment, and then follows his lead inside.
"Yes, 19. I've been okay. My oaf of a brother has been officially disowned. My brat of a sister is becoming a right little snob and will be graduating in a couple of years. And my parents are still dictators," She laughs slightly. Jack was the only one she could say what she was really thinking too after all.

"Wow, three years." He mutters closing the door behind her. And I've never stopped thinking about you.
He smiles weakly,"So famiy's pretty much the same then?" He asks raising an eyebrow,"Well Destiny's finally a mum, twins go figure."

"Three whole years," She agrees, Three whole lonely repressed quiet years without you.
"Pretty much the same," She smiles weakly, "Destiny's a mum? Wow, that's great Jack. That twin gene and all. What are their names?"

"Doesn't seem that long," He says, heading down the hall into the sitting room. Seems longer.
"Yeah, I'm an Uncle..again," He chuckles,"Well one is named Wendy, other one's named Danny." He pauses, throat drying up."They got Danny about two years back,"

Really? Seems like a lifetime.
"Again..." She laughs slightly, "How many times is it now?"
Then her face softens, "Oh, I'm sorry."

"Er..a lot." He chuckles thinking about it,"Beth's a mum, and Keria is as well, Rory is and Sally was. MJ's going to be one a well, so about five times an uncle then."
He shurgs his shoulder,"It's fine." He says knowing it wasn't.
"Danny and mum, may the rest in peace."

"Oh yes, I forget how big the family is sometimes," She smiles slightly, "So none of the males in your family have decided to reproduce yet?" She asks, noticing the list was all female.
She nods slightly, not pushing it, but knowing it wasn't, "Okay Jack."
"Yeah, I'm sure they are."

He shakes his head,"No, not yet. Kaleb maybe, Charlie was but.." He trails off,"Besides if any of us noobs decided to reproduce it be the end of the world," He chuckles lightly to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, mum's up there with Danny, Davey, Sally, Unlce Lyall and Unlce Tom and Aunt Abby, she's in good hands."

She laughs, going along with his attempt to lighten the mood and not questioning, "Ah, and we wouldn't want that to happen."
Rose nods, "Yeah, they're free from all this...from all the bad things now, that's got to be good."

"Lucky them, huh?" He says heading over to the sitting room, shrugging off his jacket, letting it drop to the floor,"You want anything Rose?" He asks,"Or shall I get you your usual?"

"Lucky them," She agrees, perching lightly on the edge of a couch, "Usual would be good, thanks."

"Tea with honey it is then," He says turning back around.
She looks good Jack, have to admit that.
Never said she didn't, now did I?
You still love her, don't you? Three years and you still love her.
Course I do, never stopped.
What's stopping you now then?
"She's getting married," He mutters under his breath, grabbing a cup from the cabniet in the kitchen.

She smiles at him, but her smile slips when she's left the room.
You're still hopelessly in love with him, aren't you?
...No...
Stop lying to your subconscious, you know it'll never work.
She sighs a little, stooping to pick up his jacket and hanging it on the back of her chair. Even now she could not stand things being out of place.

He heads back to the sitting room, watching her for a moment, then clears his throat.
"Here you go Rosie, tea and honey," He says, holding the cup out to her."It's really good to see you Rose," He say, sitting down opposite her.

"Thank you," She smiled slightly, taking the cup from him, "It's good to see you too Jack. I missed you."

He smiles weakly, locking his fingers together and placing them on his knee."Missed you too."
More then you'll ever know.

She smiled briefly, looking down into her cup, as it was something to look at.
"So...how have you been? Besides adventuring in Romania and being an Uncle a couple more times."

He shrugs,"Not much had gone on. Just getting by, living life to the fullest, shit like that."

"Yeah," He grins slightly,"Poking random creatures in the foreheads, getting drunk off my ass nightly with Scott, teasing the Whomping Willow."

Post by Jack Tucker on Nov 4, 2007 14:43:30 GMT
"Eh," He shrugs,"Had a good run." He grins,"Yeah, Scotty-Scott's around here somewhere, his cousin's dating and having a kid with mine. Told the bastard we'd be related one day, even if it meant him marrying Rory." He laughs.

"Had a good run?" She laughs, "You're 22, you're not allowed to die yet."
"Oh right? Which cousins?" Then she grins, "Has he gotten over Rory yet or...?"

"And why not?" He asks raising an eyebrow,"Done all I wanted to, been to a different country, been kicked out of said country, seen and annoyed a dragon, got some gross sickness and lived to show off the scars," He grins rolling up his sleeve,"Wanna see?" He asks.
"His younger one, Chris, Ian or whatever he wants to be called now. The jumpy twitchy one, he's dating MJ. The only blonde in the family," He snorts with laughter,"Can't wait to see how they'll be as parents, they're bloody terrified. He says he's over her but I know he's not. Not like it matters, she's married and got a kid."

"Because I simply won't allow you to die, sorry. But I still need you so you have to stay," She told him, then laughed pushing his arm away, "No I do not want to see thank you."
"Oh, would never have thought that," She said, mildy surprised, "Never seemed to think they'd match."
"Aw, poor Scott then. In love with someone he can't have. Must be terrible," She grimaced slightly, What do you mean 'must be terrible'? You know exactly how terrible it is.

He laughs, pushing his sleeve back down,"Spoil sport." He grins.
"Yeah no one did. Match made in Heaven as my mum would say, they been dating for a while now. Don't ever remember that they knew each other when they were kids," He shakes his head. "He says he never 'loved' her but he liked her enough to follow her around the courtyard." He laughs.

"Naturally," She grins.
She laughs, "They don't? Aww...that's sweet."
"Ah, so he still lies hopelessly about everything," She shakes her head amusedly.

"Got to learn to loose up Rosie," He laughs.
"That's what Rory said, but I'm telling ya dollface, what they have. It's strong, real strong. It's not one of those teen romances you see everyday." He smiles slightly,"They're real crazy about each other, Nathan says it's just hormones but, I dunno."
"Course Scott lies," He laughs,"He's a Hunt isn't he?"

"Yes, I know, you've told me that a fair few times now," She laughed.
She smiled softly, "Well good for them. And kick Nathan if he says that again, he just doesn't understand love," She added, laughing slightly.
"Jack!" She scolded, trying not to be amused.

"Only say it 'cos it's true." He laughs.
He smiles slightly,"Okay, will do. I'm not saying it's true love, I mean. True love at 17? Not likely, but...it's pretty damn close."
How can it not be? You fell in love with Rose when you were 15.
"What?!" He exclaims trying not to laugh,"What I say?"
