Title: The Birthday Memory
Pairing/Warning/Rating: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Someone special in Jack's life is having a birthday
Author's Note:  Written for the Guilty Pleasures Fest for the prompt "one memory I don't want to lose"

She was five and wearing a blue and green polka dotted skirt, red and black striped socks and pink shirt with bunnies stitched on it.  A complete sartorial nightmare, but absolutely perfect in every way that mattered.  When she saw him she threw herself into his arms. “Uncle Jack!  You’re here!  Now it’s my bestest birthday ever!”

He hugged her tight; she smelled like bubble gum and sunshine.  “Course I’m here, Kiddo.  I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!”  He closed his eyes, trying to burn the moment into his mind.  “Wait till you see what I got you!”

Oh, that's just perfect - and Jack sounds so much like Jack. Also, that outfit's just priceless.

Thanks! :)

Oh, and my daughter's favorite outfit at that age was the inspiration for that.

I wondered when I read it if there was a real-life inspiration for the outfit.

I will add to the chorus of "Awwwww." Seriously sweet, and I really can imagine Jack that way.

My daughter outfit's was worse, because she also had a checkered vest and sparkly shoes and a cowboy hat. *sigh* those were the days.

Glad you liked it!

what a great reaction, glad you liked it!

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

It was sweet and I could totally see Jack saying those things.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I know it's weird, but I can totally picture Jack with kids, not as a dad mind you, but as that super-cool uncle who sweeps into their lives every so often

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

Totally!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*phew* I'm not insane. Although you're icon was highly appropriate!

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

I always forget to see which one this randomizer picks!

awe!!!! kawaii!!!!!!! oddly enough, i can see Jack as a dad, but that's just my own personal plot bunny.... but Jack+kids is a great combo that def needs to be explored more....

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Jack+kids= aww factor x 100. Glad you liked it!

AWWW Cute

*pets your guilt*

I obviously got sidetracked by conversations about alcohol yesterday when I came to read *aplogises*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well, I figured alien donuts couldn't be a guilty pleasure anymore (not after 16 drabbles of them) so utter sappiness won out. Glad you liked!

Whose kid? Doctor/Rose? Gwen? Dare I hope Tosh?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's up to the reader to decide who the child is! :)

[ktswaz.livejournal.com]

Oi! That's not good! My mind is going crazy!
