Forgive me. Please?

Alex's POV

After a really busy day shopping I was glad when it was time to go round to Jacks for some reason.
"You got everything Archie?" I asked as I put a hoodie on.
"Yeah." He said and put something in the rucksack.
"Go and put your coat on then." I said and he put his coat on and we made our way to Jacks.

I knocked on the door and Jack answered the door.
"Hey there stranger." I said and Jack smiled and let us in.
"Alex!" Isla said and ran over to me and hugged my leg.
"Hello Isla." I chuckled.
" Where's my hug?" Jack asked and walked over to me and pulled me into a hug which I returned.
"Go and say hello to Jack Arch." I said to Archie since Archie was still really shy around Jack.
I put Archie down and he walked over to Jack and hugged his leg.
Jack chuckled and Archie went and played with Isla.
"I can't be bothered to cook so is a takeaway okay with you?" He asked as we both walked out to the kitchen.
"Fine with me." I said and sat on the counter.
"Good." Jack said and gave me a beer.
I smiled.
"So the kids are going to be busy for a while. What do you want to do?" Jack asked and stood next to me.
"Talk. I've 5 years worth of gossip to catch up on." I said and Jack laughed.
"As you wish." He smiled.

"Your shitting me? Two, Christ I happy with just the one." I said as I found out about Zack.
"Nope. Eric and Jacob." Jack said.
"Christ." I muttered.
"Yeah. Other than that not a lot has really been happening." He said.
"Christ sake man! You meant to be giving me all to good gossip here!" I said and slapped his chest.
Jack laughed.
"What about you, have any gossip for me?" He asked.
"Nope. Other than my ex not wanting anything to do with our son, other than that I have no gossip for you." I said.
"Why not? He's a sweetie and I could easily kidnap him from you." He said.
"You won't be saying that about the early morning wake up calls." I chuckled.
"She's a bitch, she said he was hard work and she couldn't cope with him." I said and looked at Jack.
"But he's a darling." He said.
"Like I said she a bitch." I said and shrugged my shoulders.
Isla and Archie came out saying they was both hungry so we ordered pizza and ate it and shipped the kids to bed since it was late.

Me and Jack was sat on his bed.
"Stop its embarrassing!" I laughed as Jack told stories about me and my drunkenness.
It was safe to say I was drunk and Jack was tipsy.
"Then you started chatting up the bin." He laughed.
"It was a sexy bin." I laughed.
"If you say so." He chuckled.
I pushed him by his shoulder.
"I'll just keep on coming back." He said and nearly head butted me.
"You nearly hit me with your great big head." I said.
"Did I? Damn because then I could of kissed it better for you." He said.
I felt my cheeks heat up.
"Ah I finally got you to blush! I haven't managed that since our first date!" He smiled widely.
"Stop!" I laughed as I felt myself blush more.
Jack rolled onto his front and looked under the bed and pulled a box out.

"Is that what I think it is?" I asked and put my drink down and walked over and sat next to him.
"I don't know." He said and put the box on my lap and I took the top of and looked through it.
"My corny first song." I said and sat back more on the bed and put the box on the bed and looked through it.
"You still have the Blink tickets you got for our 1 year anniversary?" I said and looked at Jack.
He nodded.
I looked through the box more and felt like I could cry.
"Remember this?" Jack asked and pulled some hotel shampoo.
I smiled.
"Course I do. It was one of our first holidays on our own without your parents." I said.
"And we ended up in the wrong place so we spent the week locked in a hotel room." Jack said.
"We could barely walk after that week." I chuckled.
I looked through the box and found a picture of me, mum and Jack.
I sniffed and felt a few tears fall.

"Hey. What's wrong?" Jack asked and pulled me to his side.
"Looking at this picture and realising how much mum is missing. She's missing Archie growing up. He wont even know any of his grandparents." I sniffed.
"If you want to kill me then you can but when you left town I felt like it was my duty to go to your mums grave and tidy it up and put some flowers down on her birthday, Christmas and mother day." He said.
I looked at him.
"You shouldn't of done Jack." I said.
"You mum was like another mum to me. Course I had to do it. Not only for you but for your mum as well." He said.
I moved and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you Jack." I whispered and kissed his cheek.
I looked at him.
"Can you look after Archie for me tomorrow?" I asked.
"You don't even need to ask." He said quietly.
I smiled and looked at the picture again and went to put it in the box when I felt Jacks hand on my wrist.
I looked at him.
"Keep it." He said.
"You sure?" I asked.
He nodded.
"It belongs to you anyway." He said.
I smiled aand held the photo close to me.
"Think we should go to sleep." He said.

I got up and head towards the door.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"I though you would want t me to sleep on the sofa." I said.
"Get that ass of yours over here And into bed." He said and put the stuff back in the box and put it back under the bed.
I smiled and naturally went to my side of the bed.
I looked at Jack and he had a smile on his face.
"what?" I asked.
"I sleep on that side because its naturally your side of the bed." He said.
I smiled and climbed into bed and Jack did the same.
I cuddled into his side which was another natural habit of mine.
"Night Lex." Jack said quietly but I was out like a light.
