The unexpected (a sidepack fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter 8- the date

•~Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light~•

*later that night*
Jane's pov:
As we finish eating I catch harry staring at me for the 50th time tonight "I never knew a guy so kind, cute and romantic could be so shy" I giggle "crap I said that out loud didn't I?" I add, he laughs as he goes red and nods "it's alright, i guess I'm just shy because I honestly didn't think I was going to ever find a mate, I mean, at first my brain knew we all had mates and all that but over time I just decided that I might not ever find my mate" he admits, I put my hands on the table and he locks his in mine "wow I didn't think you would ever think something like that, you know, thank you for tonight, this was wonderful" I say, he smiles and looks up a bit. "Want to walk for a bit before we go back? It's not that dark yet" harry asks, I nod and we get up, holding each other's hands as we walk "um harry, I just wanted to say that you look absolutely beautiful- wait no not beautiful, I can't call a guy beautiful, ummmm pretty... no not that either, hmmmm cute, yes that's it!! Cute!!" I say, he laughs and I turn bright red "I think that was the cutest thing someone has said out loud to me, Even through all the uhhh's and hmmm's and fighting that you had with yourself" he says with a laugh, I look down in embarrassment and he stops, he turns to me and lifts my chin up, forcing me to look at him. "I've never felt so comfortable around someone, and this is coming from a guy who normally only speaks when spoken to, I feel like I can talk to you about anything and that you won't care about it, I never want to see you sad and never want to see you scared ever again. I want to be there to protect you, but let you defend yourself aswell, I want to wipe your tears for you when you've stayed strong for too long and break down. I don't want to ever think about spending my life with anyone else other than you and I don't know how the heck I'm able to describe how I feel but there is so much more I want to say but I can't since I don't have the words. There isn't a word in the dictionary that defines you because you are more than an adjective or a noun or a verb. I just want you to know that I love you, a lot, an-" he says but I cut him off with a short kiss "that one is for you to stop rambling" I say, I kiss him again "that one is for being so adorable" I add before I kiss him again "that one is for looking absolutely smart in a suit and tie" I add, I kiss him one last time, this one lasting a bit longer, I pull away for air "and...that...ones...for...being...my...mate" I say between breaths, he chuckles but we get interrupted by josh 'sorry to burst your bubble guys but it's getting pretty late, you should start heading back before them other animals come out' he mind links us, I sigh and groan in annoyance 'don't be like that Jane, you can both sleep together tonight to make up for it, I won't tell Preston' he adds with a laugh, I smirk at Harry and he blushes wildly "we should be getting back then shouldn't we?" I ask, he nods with a laugh and we walk back, walking side by side through the Forrest.

*the next morning*

I wake up with harry beside me and I feel his arms tighten around me, I snuggle back into him and I hear him stir 'wake up, you have medical supply checkup duty with Mitch and Ethan soon, and tell harry that he's late for the meeting he's supposed to be at with me and your dad' josh mind links me, I roll over and gently shake harry awake "babe sorry to interrupt your sleep but your late for your meeting" I say, he shoots straight up and quickly pecks my lips before running off towards the meeting room 'his on his way without a shirt, make sure the heaters on in there' I mind link him back, I hop out of bed and go downstairs for food, I find my plate waiting for me and quickly eat, seeing as I have duty in 10 minutes, I quickly go upstairs and change but find a note on the bed with a ring "was meant to give you this last night but josh interrupted us, here's my promise ring to you, I promise that I will do what ever it takes to keep you safe and happy and I promise to marry you no matter what it takes. Love Harry xoxoxox, ps you look adorable when you sleep" I read the letter out loud, I smile a bit and put the ring on the same finger as the other, wanting to keep the two most precious things in the world, close to me. I go back downstairs and head to the medical supply room, meeting with Mitch and Ethan who were already waiting for me. "Ooo what's that?" Mitch asks pointing the the promise ring "promise ring from Harry" I reply, Ethan takes my hand  and lifts it up for them to check out "it really suits you" Ethan says "I know right, and that's pretty surprising since boys aren't meant to know anything about fashion" I reply, the both stare at me and I burst into laughter "I'm just kidding guys, anyways let's get started"I add after a bit. We get to work but I can't stop thinking about harry, everything reminds me of him and I can't seem to get him out of my mind... I can't stop being in love with him.
