Jakki One Shots

Day Out

This is my last oneshot for a while unfortunately as I have to focus on my EPQ so I can get it over and done with. But, when I'm back I'll hopefully have some new stuff out. I have a couple of ideas for longer fics that I'm really excited to write! And as for this oneshot, it made me kinda sad writing it , but in a good way I guess. Enjoy x

Nikki woke to the sound of her alarm. Normally, the noise would annoy her, being the sign that she and Jack had to wake up for work. But today it was Saturday, and the alarm was for something different entirely.
She reached onto the side table to turn it off, before snuggling into Jack's chest, who was grumbling beside her. He stretched slowly, before a muscled arm pulled Nikki close and a soft kiss was placed on the top of her head.

"We've got forty five minutes to get ready." Nikki said, letting out a yawn. She tried to roll out of Jack's grip, but he only held on tighter.

"Can't we just stay here for a little while longer?" he muttered into her hair, his free hand running up and down her arm.
Smiling, Nikki turned, managing to break away from him.

"No we can't."

She sat up, throwing her legs over the bed before  standing up. Seeing Jack not following her footsteps, she gave a smirk, putting her knee on the mattress and reaching for her pillow. In seconds, she'd thrown it at Jack, hitting him straight in the face.

"Get out of bed you lazy sod."

Jack ripped the pillow from his face, revealing a wide grin.

"You're gonna pay for that."

His arms reached out, catching Nikki firmly by the waist, pulling her back down onto the bed. He planted a trail of kisses on her jaw, then met her lips. Nikki giggled, her hand on the back of his neck. Jack leaned in to kiss her again, but she placed her free hand in front of his mouth, preventing him from doing so.

"As much as I'd love to see where this leads, if we don't get out of bed in the next minute, we're going to be late to pick up Rosie. And I don't think I want to see her pissed off."

With an eye roll and a disappointed smile, Jack let go of her, reluctantly getting up and heading into the bathroom, picking up a pile of fresh clothes and a towel on the way.
Nikki stood, walking to her wardrobe to decide on an outfit for the day. It was a spring day, the sun out but still a little chilly, so she knew she needed to wrap up warm. Picking out a pair of jeans and a pink jumper, she dressed quickly, pulling on a pair of boots to complete the outfit. While she was doing her hair, braiding two strands and tying them behind her head, Jack walked in showered and dressed, drying his hair with a towel. He leant down and kissed her cheek, before putting on his own shoes. Nikki applied a little make up, running downstairs to get her bag. Jack followed her soon after, putting on his jacket, then selecting one of Nikki's and throwing it at her. Soon enough, they were in the car, off to Julia's.

Nikki was so excited; she always was for this particular day. It was on the last Saturday in every month that she and Jack spent the day with Rosie. They'd all lost Thomas, someone they'd loved very much, Rosie even more so. Nikki felt it was a duty for herself and Jack to look out for her, and make sure she was well and happy. Plus, Rosie really was the sweetest soul, with a lovely personality and the kindest heart.

In seconds of pulling up at Julia's, Rosie was out of the front door, backpack on her shoulder, holding a picnic blanket and Thomas' kite. She bounded over to the car, a beaming grin on her face, placing her belongings in the boot before climbing into the back seat.

"Hiya."

"Hi, darling!" Nikki turned to smile at the girl.

Jack started the engine again, pulling back out onto the road.
