Jackson glanced up at her at regular intervals, smiling every time he caught her eye. It was kind of surreal to be sitting opposite her. She was so beautiful - flawless in his mind - and to be able to call her his was almost unfathomable. “You hurt me,” he gasped when he winked. “Another?” He asked in a tired tone as though it was the hardest task in the world. “You ask so much of me,” he teased. “I suppose I’ll have to see what I can do,” his eyes fell to the ring already on her finger and his cheeks warmed with happiness. “A nice suit? I’ll let you pick it out,” he smirked. “Make sure it matches whatever you’re wearing.” Jackson smiled widely. He hoped his mother would like him, so at least their relationship would be accepted by one of their families. Danielle’s hand fell to her stomach and he pushed his plate away, finished, as he watched her movements. His heart stuttered as she brought the issue of their possible child to the front of his mind. “You okay there?” He asked quietly. Jackson wanted to know what was going on in her head, to know the ins and outs of her mind. If she didn’t want a kid then he’d do whatever it took for them to stay away from children, no matter what he wanted. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle chuckled lightly, happiness being reflected in her features -- especially in the bright smile and eyes that adorned her face whenever she was around the blonde. She hadn't expected them to work out like they had, but they did and she was very glad it had happened that way. Among many things she felt real love when she locked eyes with Jackson and the feeling almost making her chest explode and the butterflies on her stomach go crazy. "Come on love, don't be so dramatic", she smirked at him, knowing he was trying to make it past as if she had commanded him to bring her down the moon and the stars. Although she knew he would if he ever could do so. "I'll do my absolutely best so we'll be the most hot people at the wedding -- past my mom who'll look more beautiful because she's the bride and all", she shrugged the last part out, not really caring if her mother did look gorgeous on her surely new flamant wedding dress. She was drawn out of her thoughts when he asked about her wellbeing and she smiled softly at him. "I'm alright", she nodded, finishing her plate and feeling rather stuffed at the moment. "I was just thinking about how if I'm to be a mother I don't want to do the things my mother did", she looked down for a second before looking up at him. "Or yours did", she added sheepisly. "I want to be a better mother than that, you know"

Danielle grinned and suddenly nothing else mattered. He mirrored it, not caring if the wide grin that had appeared on his face for no reason looked stupid. He loved her, and if she was happy, he was happy too. He really could imagine her as a mother though. He wasn’t quite sure when his mind had placed her in their timeline, but he could see her with a tiny baby curled up in her arms, or welcoming the toddling child into their bed after a bad dream and letting the tiny body rest between their two larger ones as they soothed the tiny human that they’d managed to create. In fact it was in that moment that he knew that he did want a child with Danielle. He wanted to feel their son or daughter nudging his hand from inside her, he wanted to assure her that she was beautiful even with a round belly; he needed to help her get their child to sleep, to watch her with this smile on her face that just radiated love. He hardly noticed that he’d stopped breathing, letting his thoughts carry him away, and Jackson smiled, breathing out before regaining some oxygen in his body. “I’ll keep that in mind,” he chuckled. The truth was that Jackson had already thought of ways to remind her that she was beautiful all the time. He’d leave post-it notes around her dorm, send her texts in the middle of the night when his head was too full of her to let him sleep, show up on dark and stormy nights using an excuse of night being able to sleep when in reality he just wanted to protect her from anything the outside world tried to rain down on her. “But it’s adorable,” he counted. “What would I be if I wasn’t cheesy?” He asked with a chuckle. “Oh yeah, I forgot about tradition,” he winked. Jackson reached for another onion ring, keeping his other hand linked with hers across the table. “Oh, okay,” he nodded with a wide smile. “Still, I’d love to go.”

[itsdaniellereyes]

.Danielle snorted at his words and his actions when he kept eating and agreeing with her wholeheartedly. She smiled softly at him, not quite believing they both shared the same deep feelings of love and understanding for each other. And that underneath the surface Jackson pulled off for everybody aroun him he was caring and loving with her -- perhaps even way too cheesy at times as she had pointed out before. "A jerk", she winked at him playfully, acting as if she was being serious but it was obvious that she wasn't in the slightlest. She actually really liked him being cheesy and telling her or doing things for her that were to be labeled as cheesy, it made her heart flutter and a wide smile decorate her lips. "You shouldn't forget about that, love.", she grinned cheekily at him. "You have to get me another ring if you wanna propose to me", she reminded him, waving her hand to show her actual ring. Being honest she didn't really care if he only got her one ring or if he bought her an entire shop full of rings, it mattered the same to her. The intention of it was what got to her and what made her even happier. "Then it's settled", she smiled widely, very much animated to attend the event now that she wouldn't be going alone. "Get a nice suit so you'll impress your mother-in-law", Dani smirked before chuckling, knowing her mother would probably take a liking to him as soon as she knew how loaded he was, it was what her mother did. That made her think about the probably still unexisting child on her belly but placed her hand over it anyways, feeling it flat but imagining how it would feel when she had a rounder belly. She promised within herself that if she was to become a mother then she wouldn't do such things as her own did or as Jackson's, she wanted her child to grow happy and not being brought down constantly one way or another.

Jackson watched as she brushed her tear away carefully and he smiled at her tenderness. It was small actions like that which almost made him pine for a baby, just to see the way that she would act with one in her arms. He could already imagine coming home to find her, curled in a ball asleep on the couch, with their child in her arms; singing the tiny infant to sleep; even her hushed voice floating into his ears via the baby monitor during the nights when the child fought sleep every step of the way. “You’d be a good mom, I think,” he smiled as her gently. Jackson sighed dramatically, “oh god, I’m probably always going to say the wrong thing and get my head ripped off,” he grimaced. “When are you due? I’ll make sure to bring you plenty of chocolate and extra tampons,” he smiled, not even sure himself if he was joking or being entirely serious. Jackson looked down at their hands and smiled happily to himself. He hadn’t really done this - the hand holding in public just to remind each other that they other was there - before, but he knew that for as long as he was with Danielle he’d continue to do it. Jackson grinned as she wiggled her eyebrows, chuckling softly. “He’ll love you, I promise,” he insisted, wanting to brush away any nerves Danielle had about the meeting. Danielle spoke about his mother and he shrugged. “I don’t really care what she thinks, I only care about you,” he smiled warmly. Jackson pouted when she made it clear she wasn’t proposing to him, “you got my hopes up for a second there.” he whimpered before his eyebrows rose. “Your mom’s wedding?” He asked. “Are you sure she’s going to want me there if I managed to get you knocked up?” Jackson asked, tilting his head to the side. “Id’ love to, though.” He smiled.

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle looked up, eyebrow raised and for a second, she was confused but then smiled widely; her eyes shining at that. Would she be a good mom? She hadn't exactly had a very good one so she wasn't enterily sure how to do that, she guessed that do everything that's the complete opposite of her own mother did -- be more like her dad. But now, after the whole talk with Jackson, she did sort of want to have a kid. Singing them to sleep, take care of them, seeing them grow up; have something that's completely yours. At the same time though, she felt scared; not sure if they would handle well having a kid so soon in their lives. For all she knew, they had just finally confessed their feelings for one another and were starting their relationship of sorts. Throwing a kid to the mix could be a blessing or a curse altogether. "Yes, you say any bad thing that'll make my mood shift and you'll be dead in a minute", she grinned cheekily, amused that he pretended to grimace and thought so. It was true that she became angrier and with less patience or weepy and overemotional when she was on her period. "Um, next week, Thursday I think", she commented, she wasn't exactly the most regular girl when it came to her period so it could either come earlier than that date or later. Dani simply smiled at the blonde when he assured his father would her, her nerves calming down a bit. Her fingers intertwined with his like they fit as easily as two puzzle pieces and her smile unconsciously grew wider. "You're so cheesy, baby", she complained jokingly, it didn't bother her that he was, in fact, she adored it but wouldn't say out loud or to him at all. "You're the one that's supposed to propose to me, love", she reminded him chuckling, she guessed they might as well stick to old antics and have the guy propose to the girl, which she hoped he wouldn't so very soon. They had enough with a possible pregnancy, no need to add wedding to that. Plus if she truly was pregnant there was no way she was getting married with a round belly. "Well, it's like -- next month so if you've gotten me pregnant I won't be showing so whatever", she shrugged her shoulders.

Jackson watched as tears began to rise in her eyes and he swallowed, unsure if he should feel guilty or happy. However she smiled and he let out a silent sigh of relief. “Probably the baby,” he nodded with a smirk. “Just blame the baby for everything,” Jackson grinned widely. A tear rolled down Danielle’s cheek and his stomach lurched. He hadn’t expected her to be the kind of girl who cries, especially out in public, and so he guessed that he really had struck a nerve within her. Jackson wasn’t entirely sure what he’d said but he certainly didn’t regret it. “Well if it was the baby then you better get used to the emotional bullshit,” he quoted her. “Cause I’m not about to change the way I talk to you. However if it’s your period please don’t have dizzying mood swings and rip my head off,” he pleaded, putting on his winning smile. Jackson still couldn’t get the image of her crying with joy out of his mind and he looked down at his plate with a smug smile. He looked up slowly, still smiling widely, when she spoke again and he chuckled. “I’ll try not to,” he winked. Her hand slipped into his and he held on tightly, brushing his thumb over her knuckles. He’d heard that there was a ‘honeymoon’ stage in every relationship but, really, he couldn’t imagine things between them being any different to what it was now. Jackson grinned, loving the idea of Danielle meeting his dad. “I’ll make sure you meet him before my mom,” he chuckled. “Then we might have the tiniest chance of her coming around to like you,” he sighed, but tried his best to not let the thoughts of his mother get the best of him. The blue haired girl before him suddenly got bashful and he tilted his head to the side, giving her hand a little squeeze and offering her a small smile. She mentioned a wedding and Jackson smirked. “Danielle Reyes,” he chuckled. “Are you proposing to me?” He teased, wiggling his eyebrows. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle snorted, a smile plastered on her lips as she shook her head at his words, of course the blonde could make her smile through her teary state so very easily. She guessed that if she was indeed pregnant then she could blame it all on the baby, which would be a nice way of explaining her actions or sudden moods to people, the idea amusing her. She brushed the tear that had fallen off her eye with her shirt's sleeve, being extra careful on not smearing the cloth with her black mascara. She wouldn't in the mood for wipping that out clean anytime soon. Her attention shifted back to Jackson, who was looking rather smug again. In different times she would want to smack that smirk off his face immediatily and in others she would find it endearing. In this case she wanted to wipe it off but found it a motive to smile once again. "Sorry to inform that I do have dizzying moods when I'm on my period", she shrugged her shoulders, smiling sweetly at the boy. Their hands connected once again and she felt her body relax at the mere touch of his fingers grazing her knuckles. It was odd but he could calm her down and make her body feel like goo in an instant with a feather-like touch. It was something very new to Dani, being quite honest. "Uhhh, I'm already meeting my father-in-law", she chuckled, wiggling her eyebrows. She tried to come off as confident about what could be a huge fiasco, meeting Jackson's parents. The idea of meeting someone's parents still terrified her and had never experienced it, since it could go extremely well or extremely wrong. And with the boy's mother the latter seemed to be what could truly happen. "I don't think she's going to like me either way", she resumed, picking at her fries once again. Dani rolled her eyes but smiled. "Jackson Chase", she mocked. "I'm not asking you such thing", she answered as if she was escandalized at thinking of a thing like that between them. "My mother's getting married, you dweeb, I guess I need someone to go with"

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson just glanced up at Danielle, a smile lighting up his face every time he caught her eye. What his mother didn’t seem to understand was that you don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not - and he was certain that there were plenty of imperfections that he could find within Danielle that he could fall more and more in love with. He frowned for a second when she mentioned being in childbirth for hours. “There’s always going to be bad stuff out there. But here’s the amazing thing — light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can’t stick the dark into the light, and I’ll be your candle.” He grinned. His mother would hate him, but the bottom line is that we never fall for the people we’re supposed to. He glanced up when she mentioned his father and he sat back, toying with the food on his face. “My father… he is amazing, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like him. He’s a complete pushover, but he’s blindly in love with my mother, and with me. He’s a family man.” He finished, glancing up at her before opening his mouth. “The only down side being he works his ass off to satisfy my mom so I hardly see him - that’s the one thing that I don’t aspire to do.” He licked his bottom lip before grinning. “He’ll love you, though. He’s always wanted me to find someone who will challenge me, not someone who will follow me mindlessly.”

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle stared at him, her breath almost hitching and her eyes watering with unshed tears as her lower lip trembled. Jackson's words had strung a chord within her and she felt like crying out of happiness that she finally found someone that would go out of his way to make her happy. "I dunno if it's because of our kid or because my period's due to next week and it's already showing up or what, but I'm not too fond of this super emotional bullshit", she chuckled as a tear rolled down her cheek. She was utterly happy and wasn't really lying with her words. She had never been the type to be extra emotional about things, only if the situation was really agravating like when her father passed. So it was obvious to guess it was because of her possible pregnancy or her period, she became mush whenever she was on her period. Either exploded in rage or cried her eyes out, no in between. "I'm really hopinh that you don't burn if you're my candle", she grinned in amusment, her hand enveloping his as if she never wanted to let go, which was what she truly was planning. She took another bite from her burger while listening to him talking about his father, noticing how much fond of him Jackson was. "He sounds awesome then. I wouldn't mind meeting him.", she smiled at him, truly happy that he had a parent that wasn't like his mother, she still wasn't too fond of that woman and hadn't even met her yet. Another thing that she didn't want to face as of now, there was much rejection she could bare. She had enough dealing with her goddamn mother. "Oh, hey, I've got this um, wedding coming up and--", she scratched the back of her neck, not that she was very pleased on having to attend her mother's wedding but with Jackson by her side it wouldn't be that bad. "Soo would you like to accompany me?"

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson simply grinned, shrugging nonchalantly. “I’ll still call you beautiful every day.” To him she always was beautiful. In fact he couldn’t imagine her in any one situation where she would be anything less than flawless - as long as she was being herself he would still adore her. “I’ll just carry you everywhere,” he told her with a grin, offering a compromise. “Back rubs - and anywhere else,” he smirked, “are also on offer.” He assured her, taking another bite of his burger. “I think I can take the birthing process, it will only be a couple of hours, right?” He smiled. “And then you’ll have that perfect baby and you’ll be thanking me for helping to make him or her,” he smirked. Jackson grinned when she agreed, “great.” Danielle began to talk about her own mother and Jackson looked down at his food, trying to disguise the fact that he was listening so intently. He glanced up at her, aware of the sharpness of her tone, and gave her his winning smile. “As long as I’m in her good books, I don’t care how I got there,” Jackson assured her, reaching towards her to draw patterns on the palm of her hand. Danielle talked so rarely about her family that he was intrigued every time she brought them up - or her mother at least. He hadn’t made any assumptions before but, judging by her tone as she had just spoken, Jackson assumed that her mother and she weren’t on the best terms. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle smiled softly, enjoying how eager and happy -- and most of all, positive --  about this whole thing. It made her want to wish to truly be pregnant with their kid. She picked up at her fries while still listening to what he was saying, compromising to do everything in his power to take care of her. Including massages and carrying her around. She had to chuckle at those in amusement, really. "Ah, not sure. I've heard of women who have been giving birth for like hours", she frowned, really hoping that when the time came for her to give birth to her child it would come out soon and not have her suffering, cursing and hating everything and everyone that came into view. The soft caressings on her palm made her relax and not get so upset as she usually did when she spoke about her mother. She was still very reticent with anything that had to do with her, having not forgiven her it still made her so mad whenever she thought about her. She didn't want to bring their kid into this though, the poor thing would have to deal with such a poor excuse of grandmothers. Her mother would only care about the money she and Jackson had whilst the blonde's mother would still hate her and most likely their kid as well. "Umm, love?", she looked up at him, carefully choosing how to words her thoughts. "What about your dad?", she muttered, not wanting to upset the boy if it was the case. She didn't know anything about the blonde's father and she'd be laying if she wasn't a bit curious about it. "You've never talked about him"

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

"It will be good,” he insisted. “I’m not saying it will be easy, but it will be good.” Jackson promised. “And there will be hard times and you’ll hate me and I’ll hate you and the baby will hate all of us but then the storm will pass and everything will be fine again.” He could see her hand dancing around her abdomen area and he’d be lying if he said his stomach didn’t flip at the action. He smiled at her words and gave a small shrug. “I guess we’ll just have to see how my sperm fares inside you,” he grinned cheekily. “And if it does well then it’s a challenge that I’d happily take on with you.” Jackson smiled graciously. “And if it doesn’t work then,” he shrugged, “we go from there. Okay?” He asked, looking at her with an encouraging smile. Jackson chuckled at the mention of their mothers and he nodded. “Us against the world,” he chuckled, knowing that his mother would be furious at him for not only talking to a girl as non-traditional as Danielle, but for managing to get her pregnant. “I’m sure my mom would find some way to prove that blue hair dye will make the baby have two heads or something and force you to strip your hair.” He rolled his eyes playfully.

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle felt a little over emotional and she wasn't sure if it was because her period was to come nect week or because she could already be pregnant. Jackson talked about it all so securely and lovingly that she was sure she had fallen even further for him at this very moment. Lifting up her mood and actually being a bit excited about ehst could happen for the both of them. "If I really am pregnant I'll start hating you as soon as I find myself almost unable to move 'cos I'm fat or when I have all kinds of ache", she winked at him, trying to change into a lighter topic. Those things the part that made Dani dread being pregnant, she knew every woman complained about all that and made her want to shiver. "And then when I'll have to give birth I'll probably want to kurder you, love", she said lightly, having heard of many woman that screamed, insulted or hit the baby daddies for how much pain she had to go through at birth. "Okay", she complied. She snickered at Jackson's comment about his mother again not being the biggest fan of her hair color choices. She didn't like her mother-in-law very much from all she had heard of the older woman. "My mom wouldn't care much", she shrugged, trying to come off as if it didn't in part bother her. "As soon as she finds our you've got many she'll happily welcome you", she commented bitterly, dreading her mother's antics, the one that she had acquaired when she left.

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson looked up suddenly at her question and a grin threatened to split his face. “I’d leave school,” he said immediately. “We could buy a house, I’d tend to your every need until the baby came. You would get to come back to study here - if you wanted, of course - and I’d happily stay at home.” He grinned before realising he’d made it sound like he’d picked the short straw. “The baby isn’t the consolation prize, the baby is the prize.” He smiled. “We’d have fun whilst you’d have to work.” He picked at his burger. “And maybe later, when he or she is grown up, I could come back and learn to be a doctor again. I wouldn’t mind, though. Our kid would be kickass.” He grinned. Jackson glanced down at his plate and then back up to her. “Or at least that’s what I’d envisioned. I don’t know what you have in mind though.” He smiled, tilting his head to the side slightly as if encouraging her to share any thoughts she had on the matter. He picked up his burger again, taking another bite of it, whilst his foot found hers beneath the table and he linked their ankles together. Even in the short amount of time that they’d been talking about it Jackson had almost become accustomed to the thought that they were going to have a baby. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle listened intently to what was saying, a face splitting grin flashing on his happy as if this was the best things that could ever happen in the universe. A small smile appeated on her features without even noticing and chuckled lightly at all the blonde said, almost nodding to his words. She picked her burger, taking a bite of it and chewing slowly while she thought on how to explain herself with this whole topic. He made it sound so great that could almost see it all developt and happen just like he had said it under her eyelids. "You make it sounds so good and so easy", she almost whined, knowing there was much more to having a baby than the happy way Jackson had described it. She knew they would have to give up many things and sacrifice themselves for their child, who would come first in any situation and she still was a bit unsure if they could work it out with their age. "I'm not saying I wouldn't want a kid 'cos truly, all this talking's made me wanna have one", she smiled softly, her fingers bruising where the baby bump would be, fondly. "But at the same time I don't know if we would be ready for such a challenge like this", she shrugged, looking up at Jackson. "And we would have to tell our mothers and I bet that World War III would break loose with such news".

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson laughed loudly, throwing his head back like a little kid, “that explains so much,” he smirked darkly. He ran his thumb along a groove in the wooden table and then looked up at her, returning her sickly sweet smile. He chuckled when she smirked as he brought up the pregnancy issue and his mind began to wander again. If she did get pregnant what were they going to do? They were both at college and, no matter how much he wanted the child that may or may not be a couple of hours old inside her this wasn’t exactly the best time for a kid. He’d leave college, of course, and if he was honest he wouldn’t mind being a stay-at-home-dad. Danielle could go out and take the world by storm and Jackson would happily watch, with their kid, from the sidelines and cheer her on every step of the way. “I’m sure you would,” he smiled sweetly, already trying to devise a plan to get her to try his cooking. “Coconut is gross,” he grimaced, sticking his tongue out before eating another onion ring. “Our baby is never going to grow big and strong if you’ve got that kind of attitude.” He chuckled, shaking his head.

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle rolled her eyes for what seemed like the twentieth time in the span of time they had been at the burguer place. It was her most natural reaction, especially when Jackson pushed off her bottons cheekily. "Our baby will be strong enough without eating those vegetables, ewww", she stuck her tongue off at him. She had turned up alright -- minus the whole being sorta fucked up thing. She noticed he seemed to be deep in though, the main thing he could be daydreaming about could their so talked about child. Which could be already existing right now inside of her without her even knowing fully, a hand unconciously brushed softly against her flat stomach, resting there as if she truly was holding a child inside. Being honest she wouldn't be so against the idea or even grimace at all if it turns out they were to be parents, if she had to choose someone from the entire academy to be so she would honestly pick Jackson. Part of her wanted a little kid that looked like a mixture of them running around and have cute silly pictures. But the other part of her was scared, she didn't know if they could be good enough parents for their kid, she knew they could provide for it. Maybe even leave college. But they still had to do something with their lives, right? She had always wanted to be a musician but she didn't know if she would have the heart to leave the blonde and their kid behind if she went touring. "What would we do though?", she inquired suddenly. "If I were really pregnant."

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson grinned at her dramatics, although he pretended to roll his eyes when she looked at him. Danielle threw the onion ring back to him and he chuckled. “Didn’t you ever get taught not to play with your food?” He asked with a grin, happily eating the fried ring. “Vegetables are real food,” he pointed out. “Actually, they’re the best for you and our little baby,” Jackson smirked. “Just because it smells bad doesn’t mean it isn’t good for you and out little one.” He smiled before taking a bite out of his burger. He hadn’t picked Danielle to be a finicky eater, but here she was rejecting one of the most basic vegetables. “Does that mean you don’t like French onion soup? Cause that’s my most favourite thing ever.” He pouted. “I’m sure you’d like it if I made it.” Jackson took another bite of his burger, watching Danielle out of the corner of his eye and smiling softly to himself. He tilted his head to the side at her question, chewing thoughtfully. “Coconut.” He nodded, pursing his lips in disgust. “Spinach and broccoli.” Jackson finished, giving her a bright grin. “Apart from that I think I’m all good.”

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle copied him and rolled her eyes in a fake annoyed manner. She was used to him teasing her non-stop and viceversa so she wasn’t really surprised at all by his antics. “I wasn’t as posh as you, sweetie”, she teased in a sickengly sweet voice wiggling her eyebrows. Still reminding that time he told her he used to wear a uniform and all at school. He dreaded that time though and had refused to show her any kind of pictures. He started lecturing her on how she didn’t like vegetables and how those were really healthy for her and their child, at which Dani smirked. She liked the way they still joked about them both having a kid, as if she truly was pregnant. Which she could be, she’d have to wait and see if her period came. If not, then they’d have to get ready for what could happen. “No, I wouldn’t like it even if you made it”, she pursed her lips, not finding the name of the food very appealing, not even Jackson’s pout made her want to try it out. She faked a gasp and stared at him wide eyed, as if he had just said a blasphemy. “But I love coconut”, she pouted, imitating him from before. “More vegetables, ew”, she said in an exaggerated way.

[amber-stop]

[amber-stop]

Jackson watched as she picked at her food, smiling gently as he observed her doing so. There was a part of him that was actually enthralled at the idea of her being pregnant now. He’d never felt this way before; he’d never been so connected to another human being - let alone a girl - and there was just something about her that made him want to smile all the time. He had enough money and, if she really wanted to work on her career (which he would totally understand and respect and he’d support her every step of the way) then he’d more than happily be a stay-at-home father. In fact, there was a part of him that couldn’t think of anything better. It was obvious that any child Danielle had would be more than perfect and the opportunity to share that with her was one that Jackson would never pass up. He chuckled when she called him a good boy and simply threw her a cheeky wink. At her next words he glanced up and then grinned once he understood what she was saying. “Ew, Danielle,” he teased in the same voice as she’d used, wrinkling his nose before tossing an onion ring onto her plate with a smug grin. “Are you just against vegetables?” He asked with a chuckle. “I mean you didn’t want peppers the last time we were out and now onions? What do you eat? Apart from burgers, of course.” He smirked.

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle scrunched up her nose once again and her mouth and eyes bulged out in comical proportions when a onion ring fell onto her plate. She shot daggers at Jackson who had a smug grin adorning his face. She huffed and threw the onion back to his owner, aiming for his face so she could wipe out that smug face. "I eat real food", she defended, still shooting daggers his way. "Peppers and onions are not real food, it smells terribly and looks disgusting", she protested lightly, taking another bite off her burger and swallowing it down while she still wore a scowl on her features. She was sort of a picky eater really, there were kind of foods that she wouldn't eat at all. And other that depending how they were cooked or with which kind of food they were served that she would either eat it or not. With what kind she wasn't a picky eater it was with anything sweet, she loved all kinds of desserts, chocolates, ice creams, etc. She had developted this eating habits even more since her mother left and her father was terribily ill in bed, she didn't have to cook though since they had a maids and even a chef at home. That way she started eating whatever she wanted, with no one to tell her if she should or shouldn't feed herself that everyday. "And what about you?", she inquired espectantly, her eyes finding his. "Isn't there any kind of food that you despise?"

Danielle’s small smile was one of the most enticing things Jackson had ever seen. The way that both her cheeks, eyes and the corners of her mouth was probably one of the biggest turn ons he’d ever seen. He’d never really gone as far as the thing about his wedding and kids and, well, his future. His mother had tried to ask him about how he saw himself in ten years but all he could do was shrug and go back to whatever he was doing at the time. Now, though, he was at med school and dating one of the most beautiful girls he’d ever seen. After Liddy he’d simply sworn off feelings, he liked the material art of girls, not the emotional part. He’d stay for an hour or two, get what he wanted, and then leave. That was almost how he knew that Danielle was different right from the beginning; he hadn’t screwed her. Instead he’d taken her out to a respectable restaurant and hadn’t even suggested going back to her place. Now he was almost worried; they’d progressed so easily from best friends to lovers that surely there was going to some kind of bump or bruising occurring. “She’ll come round to you eventually,” he said, although he wasn’t sure if he was reassuring himself or her. His food was set down in front of him and he smiled, picking up an onion ring and instantly cramming it into his mouth. He glanced up, his fingers still linked with hers, as she spoke again and he gave her a smile. He’d never really told her just how much money he had - it had never really come up in conversation - and he looked over at her wearily. He could easily support a kid - several kids in fact - but he simply nodded. “As you wish it.”

[itsdaniellereyes]

Her burger lacked half of its proportion when she started picking on her chips, leaving the rest to be eaten later while her attention shifted to Jackson who had spoken up again. Danielle knew that his mother would possibly never grow fond of her in the slightliest, just like her own mother wasn't too fond of her; let alone her antics of getting her hair dyed -- mostly because she refuses to have the same hair color that her progenitor has -- and her love for leather and music. Not being liked for these things wasn't something that really bothered her, she had learnt to brush it past. Many people would only say they like because they want something from her, only Jackson had truly told her he liked her the way she was and meant it. She didn't know if he was reassuring himself or her with his words but nodded, offering him a warm smile along the way. "Good boy", she grinned cheekily. She had money, everything she had inherited from her father, and could easily sustent a child but she had vowed to her dad that she would work hard to anything she wanted. So her money was only to be used if extremely necessary. She wasn't aware of Jackson's current monetary status but from him spending awfully huge handfuls of money she had guessed he wasn't exactly poor, but she wasn't going to mention that, wasn't important. "Ew onion", she scrunched up her nose suddenly when the smell reached her nostrils and her eyes fell on the onion rings he was eating.

All of this seemed entirely surreal. They’d joked like this the first time they’d been out for dinner but, the thing was, Jackson was no longer sure if it was a joke or they were actually discussing having children. He’d have no problem with that, of course, but he just hadn’t seen it coming. Things had never been like this with Liddy - she’d made it explicitly clear that there were to be no children before marriage, not even a chance of them, and then had waved her promise ring in his face. He could laugh at that now, considering at that time she’d been screwing another man behind Jackson’s back. At his words he let out a soft, “oh,” and grinned. “Well in that case I’m not complaining so much.” He smirked, shooting her a quick wink. Danielle tugged his hand slightly and he chuckled, squeezing her hand gently. “If she does anything I’ll just tell her where to go and we can get out of there,” he smiled. Jackson knew that being with Danielle was going against everything his mother had ever wanted, and maybe that was why Jackson had been trying to hard to get Danielle to fall for him, but he knew that now that he was attached to her he wasn’t going anywhere. Jackson sat back slightly, his fingers still brushing Danielle’s, at the waiter brought their food and he smiled up at the girl, thanking her, before looking back at Danielle. “How soon in the future are we talking?” He asked with a wide, boyish grin. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle sat back on her chair, her fingers still bundled together with his and a smile grazing her features. She had never discussed so lightly topics such as marriage or children, before Jackson she had sort of dreaded them. While girls around her daydreamed of their wedding and perfect husbands she daydreamed about her own musical dreams that would become true, no time left for playing house in her life. And soon after that, the heartache she had to ensure surely erased all thoughts of that from her mind, herself entirely avoiding even having someone to love uncoditionally. Then Jackson stepped into her life with the intention of sweeping her off her feet, to which she agreed thinking that like many other times all attempts on her would be futile, but he easily managed to catch her. Not that she was complaining now, she was his yes but he was hers. She grinned back at him when he realized the underlying tone of her words about giving it many tries, amused by his expression. "Well, I don't think she's going to warmly open up to me", she shrugged, having heard him say many times that her blue hair and love for leather would make it quite hard to get his mother to like her, not that she cared much. She was thankful that he hadn't asked about her parents, that was a topic she much rather avoid talking but she knew she would eventually tell him. She picked up her burguer and took a bite from it, smiling instantly at how good it was and how hungry she felt. "When we're out of Kingston, maybe", she answered after swallowing. "With jobs and all so we can support our kid".

Jackson grinned as her loud laugh filled the small establishment, causing a couple of heads to turn their way. She gripped his hand and he smiled, brushing his fingers over the warm skin of the back of her hand. “Don’t worry, love bug, I’ll make sure they see that we’re the best parents out there.” He promised sincerely, bringing her hand up to his lips and kissing her knuckles softly. Jackson’s jaw dropped when she told him that she wasn’t pregnant and his eyebrows furrowed for a moment. “But I just worked my ass off trying to get you knocked up,” his bottom lip stuck out again. Jackson watched as Danielle’s jaw dropped and he waited patiently for an answer - and the one that came lit up his face. She turned it around and asked him and he looked down at the table, running his fingernail through a flaw in the old wood of the table. He knew his answer in a heartbeat but didn’t want to seem too eager. “My mom would kill us both, and probably the child.” He muttered, bringing his eyes up to look at her again. “But I really couldn’t think of anything better than having a child with you.” 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle smiled softly at him when he kissed her knuckles, feeling her stomach flutter with butterflies and her heart skip a beat. She hadn't grown accoustumed to this just yet and her body kept doing jumps whenever the blonde was around or complimented her. She snickered amusedly at his jaw dropping and he pouted, he looked even more adorable and she felt the want of kissing it away but she didn't move from her spot. "So you can try again and again and again", she smirked cheekily, wiggling her eyebrows suggestivily to let him know. She observed him, how he looked down at the table as if thinking the answer or not being too sure about what to say. He mentioned his mom to which she furrowed her eyebrows, she hadn't met the woman but for what he had told her she didn't seem too nice. And would never be nice to her since she had blue hair and half her closet consisted on leather clothes. Then his next words made her smile widely and tug his hand. "Ah, well, we can deal with my mother-in-law", she nodded solemny and then broke out another smile, the spark reflecting on her eyes. "S'you know what to do sometime in the future", she wiggled her eyebrows once again as the waiter brought what they had ordered and her mouth watered.

Jackson tried to keep a straight face as Danielle seamlessly went into dramatics and he clasped her hand in, what he hoped, was a supporting way. “Dont worry, love bug. I’d never let that happen, you two are my whole world.” He said with a reassuring smile, playing the supportive father role. “I’d do anything to keep you and the baby by my side,” he said with an almost dreamy smile before her fingers linked with his again. Jackson brushed his thumb across her knuckles, smiling at his skin moving over hers. He rose his eyebrows at her words, “are you telling me you’re not pregnant now?” He faked a gasp, removing his hand from hers as he feigned hurt. “But I thought we were going to have a beautiful little girl, like you,” Jackson pouted. The blonde chuckled as she told him not to take all the credit. He watched her silently, a wide smile on his face. “You’d really want to have my baby?” He asked, the question coming flying out of his face before he could stop it. 

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle laughed loudly at his antics of playing the supportive father role in their joke about getting their child taken away for being unfitting parents. She held his hand in between hers as if she needed a lot of comfort at such unbearable and heartbreaking thought. "Yeah baby, you tell 'em that we're good parents", she dramatically added, her lip out in a pout as if that would help their case even more. A smile spreadead through her features when he said she and the baby were his whole world, in a way he was saying that to keep their joke going but she really hoped that would be true some day. Being Jackson's world made her smile and her heart to skip a few beats. She was brought back to reality when he removed his hand from hers with a hurt expression and she frowned for a moment, unsure of what was going. Then a smile took over once again as he pouted. "Awww", she cooed playfully, caressing his hand again. "Sorry love, I'm not pregnant", she sighed, mustering up as much sadness in her voice as she could. His next words hit her full force and her mouth hung open for a moment, not really expecting him to ask her something like that. "Yeah, wouldn't you?", she retorted. Thinking about it, a baby with him, was the best idea she could come up wtih in the future.

"Dying a little tiny baby’s hair blue?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "I’m pretty sure they’d take him or her away, fearing we were unfit parents." He laughed, shaking his head at her offer. Jackson tucked in Danielle’s chair for her, the action easily becoming second nature , before seating himself and hanging his coat on the back of his chair. Jackson sat, his arm extended towards Danielle across the table, almost as if he was expecting her to place her hand within his grasp. Her fingers tangled with his and he glanced up, giving her a warm smile, before looking back down at the menu. At her words Jackson looked up, surprised. "Jesus Christ, now you really do sound pregnant." He mused, his eyebrows raising slightly. Jackson waved over the waiter, as it seemed clear that Danielle already knew what she wanted to eat, and once she’d ordered he read off what he wanted for himself; "double cheeseburger with a side of onion rings." He said, giving the waitress his most charming smile, holding her gaze for a second before handing her the menu. The waitress left and his eyes immediately came back to Danielle, "well I hope it doesn’t object to the exercise because I’m sure it will be getting plenty more." He smirked. "And besides, it’s not even like you had to move, I was the one putting my all into creating our child."

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle comically stared wide-eyed at him and masked a horrified expression over her features, as if the mere thought of having her child taken away from her would surely be heartbreaking enough. "Oh no, no one's taking our child", she tried to sound like a protective mother, as she dramatically looked at Jackson and took his hand between hers, needing comfort at such news. She then smiled widely at his gentleman antics with her and interwined their fingers again on the table. She felt as if this time it was much better than the first time around that they held hands being out in public enjoying a meal. Now they both had promised themselves to one another over love, they were in love with each other, that much they knew. She did hope that everything worked out nicely for them, she didn't plan on leaving Jackson anytime soon, he made her the happiest girl ever. "Now you know how it'll be when I'm really pregnant", she smirked at his expression and shocked face when she ordered all the food, guessing that he wouldn't have expected someone so tiny want so many food in their body. Most girl, and sometimes she too, would never order or want greasy food such as burguers and fries because it would mean they'd get fat. Not that she minded that much right now since they'd burn it out later. "Sure, love, sure", she rolled her eyes. "Don't get all credit", the waitress left with their orders and Dani smirked at Jackson once again. "Plus if I do get pregnant I'm the one who'll have to carry it during nine months and then give birth, that's ten times worse than having to put all my being on creating our child", she mocked.

Jackson, in some twisted corner of his mind, wished that his mother was here to see him - perhaps just so that she could watch her shriek and run away. Just the thought of him possibly getting someone pregnant - or even her baby boy no longer being a virgin - would be enough to make her green around the gills, but the fact that it was Danielle - with her blue hair and love of everything that seemed totally against his life style - well, Jackson could already picture her keeling over right there in front of them. There was a part of him, but obviously it wasn’t quite big enough, that was telling him to run at the very mention of children, that there was no way he’d be able to raise a child at this age. But then there was another part of him, one that almost seemed to consume the other part of him, that was screaming at him to stay put. He knew he was going to stay with Danielle though, as long as he was with her things would go okay. A smile melted onto his mouth at her words and he was nodding before he even realised what he was doing. “Of course,” he chuckled. “It’s a shame the baby won’t have blue hair, though,” Jackson smirked. Jackson pulled out Danielle’s chair when they arrived at the table and he laughed when her stomach rumbled again. He moved his hand to rest on her abdomen and, as if he was talking to their child, said, “shh, calm down. You’re going to be fed soon enough.”

[itsdaniellereyes]

Danielle smiled even wider when he, like he had done back when he had taken out to dinner, pulled out her chair in a very gentleman way."We can always dye his or her hair blue so it'll be like me", she smirked amused. There was no way that if she ever had a child would get his or her hair dyed like she had until they were much much older. She hoped it would have Jackson's blonde hair and blue eyes and then her chin, it would be such a cute kid. She found herself with a dreamy smile and tried to keep her thoughts at bay, before her hand crept to interwine itself with Jackson's over the table. She looked between the different kind of burguers, her stomach rumbling in a much more low way and her mouth watered at the food and the smell surrounding them. Her eyes met Jackson's again after she had been studying all types and finally settled for one. "Baby, I want a burguer with lettuce and cheese sans the weird pickles and with extra fries", she pouted, her lower lip quivering and trying to pull off a sad puppy face before she broke out a smile and chuckled soon after. "Your child's extra hungry today, must be from all that exercise", she raised her eyebrows knowingly, letting it known she was referring to their previous activities before their fight, if you could call it like that.
