It wasn't long til 'the beast' pulled up outside Jac's house. Emma had been watching at the window for them
"They're here, they're here" she squealed and skipped to the front door.
"Hi everyone. Come in and I'll show you your beds"Jac welcomed them in
"Hi. Thanks for this" Fletch came in kissing her lightly.
"It's fine" she paused "I've put you on the couch - sorry" she said cringing
He grinned "worried you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off me otherwise?"
She batted him on the arm "how do you get anything done with that massive ego weighing you down?"
"I love you too Naylor"
She just smiled and walked away showing the rest of his family where they were sleeping.
The house felt full of life and chaos and noise. Jac loved it. She loved the mess, she loved that Emma fitted in. She had always worried that she and Jonny were not enough and given her own lack of family life it melted her heart to see her little girl so happy. Fletch already treated Emma like one of his own. Her resolve to live separately was waning but it was still too soon.
Jac sighed at her inherent lack of just ' going for it'. That strategy nearly lost her the man who was currently lying on her living room floor being jumped on by his youngest son.
Shit, no one had ever made her feel like this. Where was the emotionless ice queen when she needed her?
"Come on you lot" she called "I don't have enough food in the house to feed you gannets so let's order Chinese"
Fletch managed to cajole everyone into taking showers, packing school bags and getting to bed early.
Fletch joined Jac in the kitchen where she was sitting with a well deserved glass of wine. She smiled as he entered the room
"Want one?" She gestured towards her glass
"Please" he sat down wearily "been quite a week"
"It's not even been a week babe"
"You're right. You know despite everything the past few days would have to go down as being the best of my life"
She laughed "so being taken hostage, sliced to bits, going into hiding and having a woman try to kill herself in front of you, goes down as the best time of your life?"
"You forgot having to sleep on a couch tonight knowing that the woman I love is just upstairs"
Jac stood up and put her arms round his neck from behind
"Sorry" she kissed his neck "but we don't have to go to sleep yet do we?" She kissed him again
"Not fair Naylor. I am shattered but when you touch me like that and say that in a suggestive way how am I supposed to resist"
"You're not supposed to resist" she carried on gently nipping his neck
Fletch moaned quietly."Stop.....don't stop....stop. Jac I really do need to sleep. Someone has been disrupting my sleep pattern since Tuesday. I'm on an early shift tomorrow and it's your first day back"
"Adrian Fletcher-Mr Sensible. Who knew" she teased
"Don't think I don't want you to" he pulled her onto his lap where she felt his erection "see?"
He pulled her in for a long, lazy toe tingling kiss, by the end of which Jac found herself straddling him
"Well that's not helping matters" he breathed against her ear
"I'm sorry" she said looking into his eyes and gently rolling her hips "should I stop?"
Fletch groaned as she kept up her rhythm. "Jac we can't do this here" he complained weakly
"Sshh" she carried on
"Oh fuck" Fletch exclaimed as her hands went to his zipper
Needless to say Jac got her own way. It was quick, frantic and they kissed constantly in a bid to stay as quiet as possible
"you're a bad woman Ms Naylor"
She smiled "I know. I hope you don't feel used"
He chuckled "idiot. Are you going to let me go to sleep now?"
"Of course. You could have gone before if you'd persisted"
"Mmm, suddenly wasn't tired. Now I need to sleep. You gonna tuck me in?
Jac rolled her eyes dumping the bedding in his arms
"See you in the morning"
He kissed her forehead "night babe"
They both went to sleep with a stupid grin on their faces.
Jac woke to the sound of a herd of elephants rampaging through her house. At least that's what she assumed because surely 5 kids and Fletch could not make that much noise. Grumpily she got out of bed an hour before she needed to and went downstairs to find Fletch directing the breakfast operation for all 5 kids. He was in his element
"Good morning" he grinned as he spotted Jac in the doorway "coffee"
She nodded. "This looks like a well oiled routine General Fletcher. Me and Emma are usually eating toast on the way out of the door aren't we baby?"
Emma giggled "Fletch made boiled egg and soldiers look"
"I'm very impressed. I'm going for a quick shower" she gave her daughter a peck on the cheek "get ready, I'll take you and Theo to crèche"
"That might raise a few eyebrows" Fletch commented
"You worried about people knowing we're together? because I've got to tell you, after Friday, after Reg and Barney were involved it will be all over the hospital by now"
"I don't mind I suppose. I might not come out of it looking that great though with Abigail and everything"
"Look we can't change what happened so we might as well front it out"
"Ok"
"You just need to chill out a bit"she said mimicking what he'd said to her at Elliot's house
"Just chill, that's what you're going with?" he mimicked her response.
They grinned sloppily at each other. Evie rolled her eyes.
"Come on lover boy you need to get to work and we need to go for the bus" she said to her siblings
"Alright, alright mum" and with that they all got ready leaving Jac,Emma and Theo.
"This feels so right" thought Jac as she showered "just a little more time, I just need a little more time" she said to herself
