The next day, Jack was up early for work so he got up, and dressed. Rubbing his neck a little, he rather liked it being so quiet so early. He got himself dressed and walked downstairs and was a little confused by the fact Y/n wasn't around. He had expected to maybe see her around, cooking or cleaning. He sat at the table and started to eat his breakfast. As he ate he suddenly remembered what he had told her yesterday. He remembered he'd given her the day off to enjoy herself.
He looked towards her bedroom door for a moment. He still didn't know if she would actually enjoy herself though.
Jack sighed and sat down to breakfast, he did find it a little strange... almost unnerving that he was all alone. He did, kinda miss her. Jack finished breakfast and stood up. He looked at her door again for a moment. He was concerned. Maybe he should check on her? see if she was actually spending the day for herself. He was careful and he quietly opened her bedroom door revealing the small room Y/n shared with the laundry staff. Her clothes hung up neatly, shoes perfectly placed and her small metal single bed in the corner. Where a figure laid. Jack peered in when he opened her door and saw her. his eyes widened slightly.
Y/n laid in her bed, having turned off her alarm clock and allowed herself to sleep in cuddled up with her sheets and a small tattered stuffed cat.
Jack couldn't help but smile a little. He stepped inside and closed the door. He didn't want to disturb her in her peaceful moment. He walked over to her bedside and watched her carefully for a moment. The smile on his face grew a little as he watched her. He had never seen her so relaxed, or so peaceful. She looked very cute. he could only hope she was dreaming about nicer things
Y/n stirred a little pulling her cat closer,
he chuckled light and hummed. He carefully tucked a little bit of her hair behind her ear. trying to be careful not to wake her up. He looked at her at her peaceful sleeping body. "You rest, and have a nice day off my little maid." he cooed, kissing her forehead.
Jack left her room as his mind continued to be filled with the image of her. He was still concerned about her. but at least she got a lie in... that was something at least.
After a long day at the hospital, Jack came home tossing his shoes and Jacket looking around to see the house as he left it. There was dinner on the table as usual. But Y/n wasn't around again.
Jack turned the corner and looked around "Y/n? Y/n?" he called out for her,
"Hello." Y/n cooed from her bedroom,
Jack jumped slightly and his expression instantly relaxed as she spoke. He sighed and sighed quietly. his shoulders relaxed, "You startled me. You okay?" He asked her, and he walked towards her room quietly. He went over and looked into her room finding her sitting on her bed, her back against the wall with a ball of yawn beside her. Wearing a dress he'd never seen before. Jack had always seen Y/n in her uniform but today she wore a little white blouse and a long pink skirt her curls loose with a pink bow in her hair,
"Is that a new dress?" He asked
"No, one I don't wear often." She answered moving the yawn between her fingers,
Jack nodded and hummed. his first thought, adorable. He watched her as she played with the yarn in her hands. "It's a nice dress." he comments, trying to make her feel better about wearing something other than a uniform. his mind was still clouded with worry. he was a little concerned about her
"Thank you sir." She smiled "How was work?"
Jack leaned against her door frame and crossed his arms. He sighed lightly and shrugged "As usual. Patients, patients and more patients." He explained, his tone was a little tired after his day at work. Jack walked inside and sat on the edge of her bed. He looked at her with a softer expression. His mind was still clouded. He was still concerned about her. "What'd you do today?"
"I slept in." She smiled
Jack nodded and smiled, the worry in his mind subsided slightly, "I noticed you slept in. How was it?" He asked her curiously,
"strange. I kept waking up." Y/n explained
Jack nodded again and sighed, that didn't sound good. the worry in his mind came back. She kept waking up. "Did you continue going back to sleep?" He asked her,
she nodded
Jack nodded, slightly relieved. "How late did you sleep till?" He asked her calmly and in a quiet tone
"half past nine."
Jack nodded again. She slept for an acceptable amount of time given how early she usually wakes up. "What did you do other than sleep then?" He asked her, he was curious to see how she spent her day for herself
"I walked to town. And I popped into the bookshop and found some nice new books."
Jack nodded and hummed, his head started to feel a little lighter. He was feeling better knowing she was enjoying herself and spending some time for herself, "What did you buy?" He asked her,
"a couple new stories. And I got a book on crocheting, so I can learn. Get a hobby like you told me to"
Jack smiled and nodded. He was happy she was actually listening to his advice. It was good to know she was doing something she liked. He smiled, "I'm proud of you." He said in a soft tone. he was. he was very proud of her to the point of feeling his heart swell a little.
Y/n smiled "thank you doctor Dawkins. I got some yawns and needles too. And look!" She cooed setting her yawn down and grabbing her old cat plushie that now has a small red jumper "I already made a little jumper for him"
Jack looked at the little toy and its little jumper and he smiled, it was adorable. he chuckled lightly at the sight of the little cat "You made him a jumper? That's cute, "he cooed. his heart swelled slightly at the sight of the little jumper. It was adorable. The small cat looked very cosy in its little jumper " you made that today?" He asked her
Y/n nodded and continued with her yawn "I think I shall make a scarf next"
Jack chuckled and smiled. "That's a good choice. A little cat would look very cosy in a scarf" He commented. He had no clue he was being as soft as he was, which was a rarity on its own. his heart swelled a little at the sight of her in her bedroom crocheting a new scarf for her cute cat. he adored seeing her do this it was cute, and surprisingly calming for him
"maybe I could make him some socks" Y/n giggled
Jack chuckled and nodded, "I'm sure he would look adorable in some socks"
"Maybe once I get a little better I can make bigger socks, scarves and jumpers. Maybe I could make one for you."
Jack paused and blinked. a little surprised "You'd..want to make something for me?" He asked her, his tone soft. he seemed a little confused. he wasn't used to people wanting to give him anything
"mhm"
Jack was still slightly confused, but he smiled. "That's very kind of you. Y/n" He said, "I'm happy you enjoyed your day off my little maid." He smiled taking her hand and pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.
