Katherine and Jack were leaving for Oregon . Jack tried everything in his power to make her smile more ...

••••••••••

Jack woke up before Katherine and he decided he would get husband of the year award that day .

He ran down to the kitchen and got her chocolate chip pancakes and he ran out to the gardens to pick her a fresh rose .

"Katherine? Wake up love " Jack said . Katherine fluttered her eyes and saw Jack smiling at her .

"Good morning " she mumbled half asleep . Jack laughed and brushed some of her loose bangs out of he gave .

"Good morning beautiful " he said and placed the food in front of her .

"Wha ? What's this for ?" Katherine asked noticing the vibrant red rose .

"What ? A husband can't surprise his wife with breakfast in bed ?" Jack asked kissing her cheeks.

"You can its just ..... It doesn't seem like a you thing " Katherine said .

Jack rolled his eyes and put the television on . "We're leaving in an hour so as soon as your done we're on the plane " Jack said to Katherine when he went to grab his contact case .

"Your flying , keep the contact off ! They'll hurt your eyes " Katherine nagged him .

"Katherine no one , expect you, Davey and an eye doctor , and Medda know I where them .... I'm not wearing them in public " Jack said getting the contact solution

"Why should it matter ? So what if you need glasses .... It's not like it's a disease tons of kings wear glasses " Katherine told Jack and wrapped her arms around him .

"Tons of kings ? Most kings are older -"

"The glasses don't make you old if that's what you think " Katherine smiled at him grabbing his glasses from the bed side table .

"I do " Jack said and walked off to start the coffee maker in their room .

"Why ? " Katherine asked him putting a new filter for the coffee .

"... Your 15" Jack began .

"Yes , and that's a chair and that's a rug .... What's your point ? Are we just stating the obvious?" Katherine smiled and then tried to grab a cup on the top shelf .

"I'm 25... I'm so much older than you ... "

"Only by ten years ..." Katherine sighed trying to reach the cup . Jack grabbed the cup for her and began to have the coffee brew .

"Still ... Katherine I've been an adult for almost a decade... When you where eight I was eighteen ... People think things .... People think I raped you that's how you got pregnant.... People think I saw you and I was some wacko and decided to marry you ! " Jack said and grabbed some coffee creamer.

"Well I know the truth ... And that's all that matters to me .... I could care less what the people think ... I mean the women who raised me my whole life turns out to be my aunt and my real mother was locked in a room in the palace .... And I'm in an arranged marriage .... And I've lost a baby .... But I love you and you love me .... So why should it matter if people think your old ? Like I told you the first time I saw you with glasses , you don't look old ... You look very distinguished ... Very handsome ... Very sexy okay ?" Katherine smiled at Jack .

Jack looked at himself and smiled ."you think I'm handsome ?" He asked .

Katherine laughed and nodded "super handsome .... The most handsome man in the world "

Jack smiled and grabbed Katherine by the waist "and you're the most beautiful woman in the world " Katherine smiled and stood on her toes to kiss Jack .

Jack kissed her back and wrapped his hands around her even tighter .

"You need to get dressed Kathy" Jack said to her smiling .

"And you need to put your glasses on and your contacts away " Katherine smirked .

"No -"

"If you do .... Someone will get a bit of a present tonight " Katherine smiled .

Jack's eyes widened and let go of Katherine...."where are my glasses ?" He asked .

•••••••••••••••••••

The two walked to the airport out of their cab . Jack looked some handsome .

He had on a suit , like always , and a dark grey trench coat and his glasses ... He didn't wear his crown every day nor did Katherine. 

Katherine liked to seem him with his glasses .... Even though he was wearing is prescribed sunglasses .

He held her hand and someone carried their bags.

People shouted out things .

"KING JACKSON WHY ARE YOI TWO LEAVING ?"

"WHERES HER DUCHESS MEDDA LARKIN KELLY ?!"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY ?"

"WILL YOU BE TRYING FOR MORE ?"

"HOW FAR ALONG WAS KATHERINE?"

"WHEN THE BABY PASSED DID YOU LEARN THE GENDER ?!"

"HOW MUCH LONGER TILL YOU START TRYING AGAIN ?!"

"HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT @BABYKANGAROO_FANFICA 'S NEW HAMILTON BOOK "LOOKING FOR A MIND AT WORK ?!"

"ISNT @NEWSIES4EVER AN AMAZING WRITER ? WHO SHOULD UPDATE BECAUSE JOHNNA WILL CRAZY WITHOUT IT ?!"

"WHY DID THE BABY DIE ?!"

Jack and Katherine walked to their plane , and sat down .

The plane flew off and Jack and Katherine sat down watching it take off .

"Katherine? Why are you crying ?" Jack asked

"Because of what those reporters said"

"Yeah I know ... Newsies4ever is such a great writer ! I mean she should update soon -"

"No ... All the baby questions ... What was its gender ... When will start trying again ... Why did we lose it "

"Kathy ... I know it's hard but people wanna know things "
