Jack Dawkins One Shots

Sweetheart

Jack groaned a little as he shifted in his bed. Luckily, he didn't have much of anything to do today. He had a nice day off, so he'd likely not do much more than sleep, eat, maybe sit in the garden with a beer. However... of course, nothing could ever be this simple. The moment Jack opened his eyes, he flinched, pulling his covers up to ensure his body was covered completely. A familiar face sat at the end of his bed.

Y/n was sitting on his bed, staring at him with her big eyes. But this wasn't uncommon. She used to be a nurse at the hospital. She and Jack often sat for lunch together as she'd always make an extra sandwich for him, knowing he wasn't in the best place financially. But one day an angry patient shoved her down the stairwell and by the grace of god she survived... However, she did get... A rather decent bump on the head. And given the mental health care in the 1850s... The choice was to send her to an institution or... worse. But given how nice she'd been to him, Jack pitied her and took her in, allowing her to live with him. She didn't even respond to Y/n anymore, just Mei having misheard 'Me'.

She sat as she did every morning, at the foot of his bed, still in her little nightgown, staring at him, waiting for him to wake up.

Jack stared at her as he adjusted to what he was seeing. He still... Never knew how to take it when she stared at him like this. Not like it was her fault. But it still felt ...eerie. "Good morning, Mei..."

She blinked once. Before she then slowly spoke. "Cookie?"

Jack raised a brow, he shook his head slightly, a hand moving up to run through his messy hair."Mei... sweetheart... why do you want a cookie this early?"

"... Cookie?" She simply asked again.

Jack sighed, a hand moving to rub his face. "Mei... It's not even breakfast time yet... You don't need a cookie."

She pouted but accepted it, "... Kiss?" She asked with the same wide, pleading eyes.

Despite himself, Jack felt his defences crumbling slightly. How could he really say no to that face? He sighed once more before nodding slightly. "Come here, sweetheart."

Mei clapped her hands and bounced with excitement. Without even hesitating, she leapt from the foot of the bed onto Jack's lap and put her nose on his, staring at him intently.

Jack barely had time to react before she was on him, and he just managed to catch her as she was suddenly in his lap. He chuckled nervously, a little startled but still amused. "Easy there, sweetheart..."

"Kiss?" She asked again.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, a fond grin on his lips. One of his hands moved up to gently cup the side of her jaw. "Impatient little thing..." He murmured before he leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

Once he pulled away, she giggled and slightly bounced her hips on his. "Yay!"

Jack chuckled as she bounced. His hands moved to her thighs, holding her still, if only to stop the very visible... bulge from growing any more than it already had. "Easy! Don't do that too fast, sweetheart..."

She pouted again, "What do today?" She asked, sticking her tongue out a little like an excited toddler.

"Well, I was thinking of doing some tidying up around the house..." He said,

She huffed at that, not liking what she pretty much immediately clocked as chores.

He rolled his eyes, not surprised at her reaction. "Mei, we have to clean the house... It's messy."

She huffed but accepted it. "Then what?"

"Hmm... well... after we clean, we could... go out in the garden after." He offered.
