Madness (Completed)

A Night At Jackie's

"Hello Mr. McLaughlin, it's Mr. Lancaster's assistant Elise Turner speaking. I was calling because Mr. Lancaster was looking for Violet and wanted to know if you've seen her. Over." Jack's com goes off in the middle of his table. Jack licks it up with a sigh and clicks the button to speak.
"Yeah, she's been with me. She was just helping me with some adjustments in my new house." Jack lies to the girl, probably because he knows what Shane's fake marriage means.
"Oh, alright. I'll tell Mr. Lancaster that, but may I speak with Violet?" Elise questions politely.
"Yeah, here she is." Jack says as he hands me the com. I click the button before I speak.
"Hey, what do you need?" I question in the same polite tone she had used with us only moments ago.
"Mr. Lancaster wanted me to tell you that he will be late home so you can stay at your friend's house because he wants to help you with the stairs. He says that if someone will hell you with them then you can go back, but otherwise you should stay with someone else. And finally, he says that business about CJ is piling up so stay safe. He says that last part you'll understand. Thank you for listening Ms. Violet, do you have any requests of me while I'm here?" Elise finishes, taming in a deep breath. I glance up at Jack for a moment before looking back down at the com.
"Tell Shane that I'll be at Jackie's house." I say, glancing back up at Jack for a moment. I release the button and take on a breath. "Your name is Sean in the files she has, don't worry." I tell him with a nod. Jack nods lightly and laughs quietly.
"That's clever actually, so only our friends know that I'm Jackie apparently." Jack giggles.
"It was clever, so that this assistant doesn't blow the secret and Shane will know what I'm talking about." I say with a smile that I feel I deserve.
"Okay. It will be done Ms. Violet. Anything else?" Elise questions me.
"Nothing else, thank you." I say graciously.
"Your welcome miss. Goodbye." Elsie says and then the com turns red showing that it's offline. I set the com back down in the center of the table and then lean back in my chair lazily.
"I'm curious what Marks codename will be... Markisa, or Makey... Or-"
"Stop, those are terrible." I chuckle and Jack laughs echo through the kitchen.
"Geez, I didn't think I was that funny..." I say once Jack's laughs finally subside.
"You're not, I was laughing at my own joke." Jack says with a small chuckle.
"Oh, then, I didn't realize that I was hanging out with a narcissist." I say, leaning my elbows on the table to just show that he was beat in this one.
"That's not what I meant either... Just, never mind." Jack says with a small shale of his head.
"That's what I thought." I mumble as I cross my arms over my chest.
"You should go to bed, I read in one of my medical diaries that pregnant women need more sleep than most other people. Unless they are under the age of 5, then they need more sleep, but you get the picture." Jack says as he stands from his chair and approaches me casually. I put my arms on either side of me on the chair and push myself to stand.
"Yeah, I'll go to bed." I agree, now leaning on the table for balance support.
"Here, let me help you." Jack says as he wraps an arm around my waist for balance support. I lean my arm on his shoulder and we begin walking towards the back of the home. I had never been back here before, but it's nice like the rest of the house. Two doors are at the end of the hall, I'm guessing both are bedrooms. Jack seems like the kind of person who keeps an extra room for visitors.
"So, this is my room and the door next to this is the bathroom if you need it. I'll be on the couch, so you know where I'll be if you need me." Jack says as he opens one of the doors that had been in front of us.
"What? No, I don't want to take your room, I'll just go and sleep on the couch." I say as I begin turning myself back towards the living room, but Jack stops me.
"No, you need more sleep then me, so get in there and sleep. I'll be fine." Jack argues as he begins leading me back into his room, but I fight it.
"No, Jack." I say, trying to push his grasp off me, but it doesn't work. He's stronger than me and I know it, but I keep trying to stop him. He puts me down on the bed and I pull him in too so he lays almost in top of me, but he caught himself so he's inches away instead.
"You're so stubborn." Jack comments in a whisper.
"I know." I respond in the same hushed voice.
"God, I'll regret it either way." He mumbles before his lips are in mine and we have a passionate kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck like I usually would when we did this. Suddenly, Jack releases himself from me and pulls out of my grasp so he stands above me.
"Sorry. Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning." Jack says as he turns and starts towards the door.
"No, Jack! Come back here!" I shout as I throw myself out of the bed and stomp towards him.
"Violet, just go to sleep. I know I shouldn't have done-"
I interrupt his speaking by pressing my lips to his like he did just before. Jack holds my shoulders and I wrap my arm around his neck.
"Stop it. You need to go to bed." Jack says as he pushes me off him once again.
"Then come with me. I'm not letting you sleep on the couch." I demand sternly as I grab Jacks hand and pull him towards me.
"Violet... Stop and go to bed, I'll see you in the morning." Jack says as he pushes himself away from me and once again starts towards the living room.
"Jack! What's wrong? I thought you said you wanted to be with me, and now it's like you don't even care anymore!" I shout in a confuses and annoyed tone. Jack spins around on his heal and gives me an annoyed and angered look.
"Don't you dare say that! You know that I care about you more than anyone else here!" Jack shouts, pointing an angered finger at me.
"Then prove it!" I shout back at him. Jack stomps towards me and pulls me close to him by the small of my back. He then puts his hands on my waist and kisses me passionately. Jack then puts one of his hands on my cheek and rubs his thumb over my face lovingly. I'm just taken in shock from his actions. I didn't actually expect him to do this to quickly and willingly. Especially because he had been insisting that we be apart. Jack slowly pulls himself away from me, but only so that he is only inches away. He stares into my eyes and keeps his hands on me as if that would protect me forever.
"Did that prove it to you? Or has Mark done better than me? Again..." Jack says in a hushed voice. I feel his hot breath on my face and his thumb going over the curves of my waist.
"Jack... I love you, you know I love you. And honestly, I think that if Mark and I were never trapped... I don't think I would've never had to choose between you both. I would've just chose you and had the life you wanted for us. Marisa probably would be yours and I wouldn't be getting married to Shane." I whisper, letting my lips graze his while I speak. Jack leans his forehead of mine and takes a comforting grasp on the back of my neck.
"I know Violet... I know that time being trapped messed you up and I'm sorry... I know now that I should've hone with you, I felt it in my gut, but I didn't and I'm sorry." Jack whispers in a hoarse voice and I feel a tear escape his eye and trail down his cheek. "It's my fault, if I had just gone with you that day we would have everything now... I'm sorry Violet.... I'm so sorry..." Jack continues to sob and then plant a kiss on my forehead. I move my thumb in circles around his temple and take in a deep breath. I hold back tears that threaten to pour from my eyes and instead I hug myself to Jack.
"Oh Jack... I forgave you a long time ago..." I whisper as I lightly kiss his cheek, letting his scruffy beard rub against my face.
"You're too good for me..." Jack mumbles into my forehead. I kiss his cheek once more and then let my face fall into his chest. I rest there for what could be a lifetime while Jack holds me to calm his ever slowing sobs. He lifts his hand and wipes away all his tears before he returns it to it's place on my waist.
"I have good news for you..." I say, breaking the silence between us as I turn my head so I stare up at him. Jack turns to meet our eyes and he moves his hand so it holds my jawline.
"Hmm?" He responds with a nod for me to continue.
"You proved it to me." I answer with a small, chilsih giggle. Jack leans down and kisses me with his smile back on his face.
"Well I'm glad." Jack responds with a chuckle, planting a kiss on my cheek. I smile lightly and kiss his cheek in return as if it was a favor I had to repay. "But we should still go to bed." Jack adds. I nod in response and then start towards the bed, dragging Jack along with me.

We lay down in the bed next to one another and tangle our fingers together. I lay my head on Jack's shoulder like a pillow and he puts his other hand in my matted hair.
"I love you, more than anything, more than anyone else." Jack whispers as he kisses my cheek once more. I wrap my arm around his torso and tuck my fingers underneath him to secure the position. I then feel Marisa kick her small feet against my stomach and Jack jumps a little.
"Don't worry, it's just Marisa." I mumble. Jack moves our tangled fingers so they rest on my stomach in a comforting way.
"All the more to love... Heh, she's already sassy. I love you too Marisa, you don't need to feel left out." Jack says lazily with a chuckle. I giggle at his statement and Jack leans down and kisses my baby bump lovingly. I can't help the smile on my face as I drift off to sleep with Jack lying next to me.
