Jack pulled a pillow on top of his head to muffle the noise of his neighbor mowing the lawn, wishing for all he was worth that he could lock himself and Eva in the house and never have to deal with the rest of the world. He couldn’t do that, of course, mostly because Cassandra and Xander were coming back from Haiti or Italy or god knows where and he needed to drop Kaitlyn off at their house so she could see her mother.
He’d bought a ring for Eva, had picked it out the day after the reunion. But he couldn’t bring himself to ask her to marry him until she’d met Kait. He felt ridiculously guilty as it was for keeping Eva to himself for so long and it felt sort of surreal to be introducing his daughter to the love of his life within the next few hours. He was less nervous at the reunion.
“Eva?” He called as he rolled out of bed. She’d gotten up hours before and was probably working on her laptop. Maybe they’d go pick up breakfast somewhere, stall the inevitable for a little longer.

"Hold that thought." Eva said flatly, her voice followed by the sound of rapid typing. After almost a few minutes she let up with a contented sigh, setting her computer and standing up to return to the bedroom. After, of course, removing the small pair of glasses she wore on certain occasions, generally when she was coming up to a deadline and was stressed beyond reason. there was no deadline approaching, but her return- while amazingly happy- had given her plenty of stress headaches. But she never let Jack catch her in her glasses; she was embarassed enough to have to wear them to keep from getting headaches as it were.
Rest well, sleeping beauty?" she finally grinned as she reached the doorway, tilting her head at him

“Good enough.” Jack grinned, pulling her into a hug and kissing the top of her head. “You hungry?”

Eva laughed and grinned at him, hugging him back. "I'm always hungry. What's for eating?" She didn't bother too much with grammar, given it was morning and she'd spent the past three hours translating a campy zombie book that was being published for God knows why.

“Your choice of the many gourmet fast food restaurants.” Jack smirked, once in his life glad his kitchen was pathetically under stocked.

"Ah, I heard of a quaint sounthern fried poultry restaurant in the neighborhood." She grinned and kissed Jack's cheek before stepping back. She was of course talking about the KFC that she'd seen about a block away.

“KFC for breakfast?” Jack cocked an eyebrow and grinned, giving her a hard time.

"Yeah, why not?" Eva asked with an unsure grin. "You said I could choose..." she pouted, switching tactics suddenly

“Does KFC even serve breakfast?” He tried to look serious, but failed miserably.

"No, they serve chicken." Eva said solemnly, fighting back a grin. "Who says I WANT breakfast?"

“So you want chicken?” Jack matched her expression.

"Yes." Eva nodded once, breaking into an all out smile. "Pleeeaaaase?"

“I dunno,” Jack couldn’t help but smile back. “After all, you are what you eat.”

"What exactly are you saying?" Eva put her hands on her hips and tried to look angry. "I've been living off fast food for the last three years. That would make me cheap, fast, and easy." she tried not to start laughing as she said this.
(Couldn't help it, I've used that line before, lol)

Jack stared for a moment, then pressed his lips together to stop from laughing himself. “You forgot delicious.”

Eva gave him a blank, surprised stare for a few seconds before shaking her head. "I don't know whether to laugh or throw something at you...."

“You could do both,” Jack suggested helpfully.

"I think you'd better feed me soon, or I'm going to kill you." Eva stated cheerfully

“Got it.” Jack grinned, picking her up and tossing her over his shoulder before heading towards his truck.

"Hey!" Eva squrmed slightly. "It's gonna be embarassing if people see us like this! Put me down!"
