"This is all yours?"
"All mine, food and water if you need any, get yourself comfy." I told her slipping my jacket and shoes off
"Where will I sleep?"
"We used to share a blanket then, bout time we shared a bed," I told her sitting on my bed and tapping beside me
"I am very tired" She smirked
"I bet you are."
she giggled and slipped off her cloak hanging it by the door and the moment she was revealed to me-
I uhhh may have had a heart attack-
"What?" She giggled
"... You wonder why I didn't recognise you! Holy- Proportions." I tried very very hard to get my brain to,.... work but it kinda didn't want to. "What uhhh... I uhh I have been gone a while-"
She was confused looking at herself "Yeah, this is what happened Jack, I was malnourished and fourteen last you saw me don't you think things would have.... matured." She explained putting her hands where her hips used to be where I remember them and moving them sideways expanding till they met her hips... now.
"Matured! Look at you your- your-" I stuttered standing and holding her waist looking at her chest in her dress
"Jack" she giggled picking my head up to her face "It was fourteen years ago."
"Yeah! I didn't think you'd have changed... this much."
"Yeah they came in a little while after you left" she giggled moving her arms a little to squeeze them and I watched like a desperate hungry dog,
"Please stop doing that!" I told her holding her arms to make her stop
"Why?" she giggled
"I haven't seen you since we were fourteen, oddly enough I missed you enough! I do not need you bouncing your - Yeah. I'm struggling enough with not throwing you on my bed you really think that's a good idea."
"Hummm" she giggled "Still my darling Dodger" she giggled tickling under my chin and stroking her hand down until she met my pants
"Ummm- enough! enough!" I told her grabbing her hand "Anymore, I really will have to throw you on my bed."
"Alright Sorry Jack." she giggled sitting on my bed and tapping beside her so I happily climbed in sitting with her cuddling her and kissing her making up for all we had missed, "Anything Important I missed?"
"Not really, anything I missed?"
"You... did miss something."
"Ohh tell me then" I cooed between kisses kinda half listening
"I worry it will upset you," she whispered
"Nothing you could tell me could upset me. I'm just so happy you're here, I finally get to see you again, to hold you again, to... kiss you again."
"I left Fagin, for a reason. Not just because of what he did to you."
"Why else?"
"... Because I was pregnant."
"y-you were pregnant? when did you find out?" I began to whisper too
"A week, after your arrest," she said tears welling up
"What... Who got you pregnant, how did this happen?"
"Jack, you a doctor know. I should hope you know... How. it happened." giggled "Well when a flower girl and a little thief love each other very much and... find themselves a dark alley to hide in for the night" she whispered with a smile
"I- I got you pregnant-"
She nods "Once I knew I left for what he had done to you, I wanted to come see you to tell you but the guards wouldn't let me."
"I- I got you pregnant- What was it?"
"A little boy."
I knew I was crying unsure if it was sadness or joy but a mix of the two "A little boy?"
"A sweet little boy, he looked just like you"
"Where is he? Where is he now? Can- Can I meet him?"
"He's dead..."
"What-"
"Cot death. he was only a few weeks old. I'm sorry Jack."
"Sorry, what could you be sorry for? I had a son. You gave me a son I can't thank you enough for that, and I'm so sorry I wasn't there If I'd known... I'd have broken out that prison and found you. I'm so sorry about what happened."
"It was a long time ago, it still hurts but- at least I have you back"
"You have me, and I have you. I promise I'll keep you safe." I told her pulling her into my chest "What was his name?"
"Jack Jr. After you of course"
"That's sweet." I smiled giving her a soft kiss "I'm so sorry I didn't come find you when I escaped. Everything just kinda... happened so fast."
"You're here now. And that's all I care about."
