Jax waited until they got back in their room to ask what was going on.

"So?"He asked.

"So?"Ally replied knowing full well what Jax meant. She gave him a clueless look.

"So what were you and Jerry talking about?"

"Just stuff."Ally replied coyly.

"Just stuff doesn't bring Jer to tears Ally. What's going on?"

Jax's curiosity and need to know everything was getting on her nerves. She planned on telling him what Jerry said but now she didn't want to. She decided to drive him insane instead.

"I thought you didn't want to hear anything about Jerry and V."

"I don't, so it was about V. then?"

"Nope"

"About Jerry and V.?"

"Nope"She said simply, trying hard to not grin as Jax got more irritated by the second.

"So it's not about their relationship then?"

"Nope"

"So you can tell me then right?"

"Nope"

"Did Jer swear you to secrecy?"

"Nope"

Jax wanted to wring her beautiful neck. No one was more exasperating than Ally when she was in one of her moods. She had taken annoying and irritating him to a fine art. No one ever loved him as much as Ally did and no one could ever drive him crazier than her.

"Then you can tell me what he said."

"Nope"Ally could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. He was definitely irritated.

"Ally?"

"Tell me Jasper do you confide things to V.?"

"You know I do."

"Well would you appreciate it if V. told me everything you talked about?"

"No"

"There's your answer. Now stop playing 20 questions and get dressed."

"You do realize that I'd love to choke you right now."Jax said and couldn't help letting a small grin pass on his lips.

"You do realize that I'd love to choke you right now."She replied and went to get her dress.

"Do you want me to wear my hair up or down?"

"You mean you'll actually take my opinion into consideration?"He teased.

"Yeah it's Christmas so I'll actually listen to you."She said with a grin.

"Believe it or not I want you to wear it down. I'm in the mood to run my fingers through it."

"Then down it shall be."

Ally slid into her dress and admired her reflection in the mirror. The dress was exquisite and she felt like a princess. The white satin gown was sleeveless with a gently scooping neckline revealing just the beginning of her cleavage. The dress hugged her upper body and fell into a flowing full skirt. She was amazed Jax picked this dress for her because it reminded her so much of the dress in her waltz fantasy. She was sure Jax bought it before the magical night at Carnegie Hall.

Ally was about to start brushing her hair when Jax walked in. She saw him standing behind her and her breath was caught in her throat. He was so beautiful and Ally couldn't believe he looked even more incredible than she remembered.

"Jasper you are beautiful and don't laugh at my choice of words."

"I've never been called beautiful before so thanks my enchanting snow princess."

"Thanks, so does this remind you of anything?"

"You in the Twilight Zone ballroom."He laughed.

"This is just getting too eerie. You bought this before that night right?"

"I bought it in early November, the day you went to see Chicago with V."

"Where did you hide it?"

"V.'s, I still have the key you gave me for the brownstone."

"Does V. know you have the key to her apartment?"Ally laughed.

"Sure how else do you think I get in to carry out our torrid affair."He said with a grin.

"Right I keep forgetting about your illicit little affair."She giggled and started to brush her hair.

"Allow me"Jax said softly and took the brush out of her hand. He began to gently stroke her hair with the brush. Ally was in heaven, she never thought having her hair brushed could be so sensuous. Jax watched Ally's face in the mirror. He was pleased he was creating the desired affect. He loved to see that look of sheer bliss on her face. She closed her eyes and got lost in his gentle touch. Jax started whispering I love you every time he finished a stroke. Ally turned around, held his face in her hands and looked deep into his eyes.

"I love you blondy"She said softly and gave him a gentle kiss.

Jax ran his hands through her silky hair while his tongue probed her mouth. He was no longer interested in dinner only Ally. He pulled the zipper down on her gown and helped the dress fall to the floor. Ally had forgotten all about dinner the second he kissed her. He slowly stroked her back feeling the silky warmth of her skin. Ally undid his jacket and ran her hands over his chest.

"Dinner or me?"He whispered in her ear.

"You, definitely you"She murmured.

Jax picked her up and put her down gently on the bed and knelt over her. He tossed his jacket on the floor and undid his bow tie while Ally started unbuttoning his shirt from the bottom up. Their eyes were locked, full of the love and desire they felt for each other. She pulled him down on her and their lips met in a blaze of passion. Ally was fumbling with his zipper. She just managed to pull it down when Jerry barged into the room.

"Hey dinners ready and we are all waiting."He said as he opened the door and walked in."Oh, geez, umm, ah, sorry my timing sucks"

"Yes it does."Ally giggled."Jasp I think we better get dressed again and go downstairs before Lady Jane comes to get us. We'll be down in 5 Jer"

"One of these days I'm going to kill him"Jax growled.

"Then who would interrupt us?"Ally laughed.

"One more kiss and we'll get dressed"Jax said and gave her a kiss that made time stand still.

They put their clothes back on and Jax put the ruby and diamond necklace on her. "Looks like your hair needs to be brushed again."Jax said mischievously.

"I'll fix it or we'll never make it to dinner"Ally giggled.

"I've never seen a more wondrous sight sleeping beauty"

"Why thank you my prince charming but wait until you see V. I picked the dress for her."

"Hmm what colour?"

"Wait and see. Oh, not that it's any of your business but Jerry told me that he was happy I'm going to be a Jacks. He values my friendship and loves moi."

"Oh, you guys seem rather close."

"We are very good friends sweetie. We talk to each other all the time. There's an entire side to your brother that you know nothing about."

"All I can say is I'm glad I met you first because Jer would never have let me anywhere near you."He laughed.

"No worries there, I would have killed Jer by our second or third date. Our personalities are too similar in too many big ways. You and I are yin and yang. Jer and I are both yangs."

"True, you are the two most stubborn people on earth except you are even more exasperating than Jer. I didn't think that was possible until I met you. On the plus side you are also the two most loyal people on earth."

"Umm Hmm"

Ally and Jax went downstairs for dinner. Jax thought V. looked incredible in a strapless red Valentino gown, pearls and a matching wrap. He complemented her until she started blushing and begged him to be quite. Ally and V. were on either side of Jax and took turns stealing the veggies off his plate to everyone's amusement. Ally had just put his roasted onion in her mouth when Jax turned to look at her. V. took the opportunity to snatch his last carrot.

Jax looked at his plate and knew he hadn't eaten the carrot and wondered what happened to his onion and snow peas. He shook his head and Ally and V. started giggling.

"I knew it, the evil wenches are stealing my veggies. Hands off girls eat your own food."Jax warned.

"Or what?"Ally challenged.

"Or I'll make your lives a living hell."

"What are you going to ask my Mom to move in with us?"Ally laughed.

"No but now that you mention it I think we should invite her down for the month."Jax said wickedly.

"Fine but you do realize that we won't be able to make love for a month then."Ally said smartly.

"Then forget that idea. I'll get you back though my pretties."Jax laughed.

In between bites of food Jane and John discussed the Millennium Ball thrown by the Governor in Juneau. Every year a Ball was thrown to raise money for several charities giving the elite of Alaska a change to mingle. According to Jerry the star attraction was always Jax whenever he made an appearance. John told Ally that they'd have to hire a body guard for her to protect her from all the women who would like to kill her when she arrived on Jax's arm wearing an engagement ring.

"No need for protection Dad we won't be there"Jax said.

"What?"Everyone else said.

"Als and I are leaving the 29th to celebrate the millennium on our own"

"We are? Where?"She asked in confusion.

"Sorry I can't tell you it's a surprise."

"My passport is at home dear."

"No it's beside mine in my suitcase."Jax laughed. He knew that would keep her guessing for days.

"V.?"Ally pleaded.

"Sorry Al, I know nothing about this but I'll help you guess."

"No ones guessing anything"Jax warned and gave them all the evil eye.

"Fine new topic then. The two of you are gong to be really busy getting ready for a wedding in 5 months. It isn't a lot of time to pull a wedding of this magnitude together. What hotel do you suggest in Boston Ally?"Jane said.

"There's no way I'm getting married in Beantown. My mother would find ways to change any plans she didn't like. She'll start saying I helped you out and hired a band. I picked the cake out for you. I drew the guest list up and sent it to the printers to help you out. No way is she interfering with any part of our wedding. The wedding will be in New York at my parish St. Andrews. The cake will be butter cream from LA and my bouquet will be lilies of the valley. The rest we'll sort out."

"Actually Al, the reception is all mine. The menu, the decor will be a surprise for you. You can help pick the site but that's the extent of your involvement. The honeymoon is all yours and everything else you can do solo or I'll be thrilled to get involved."

"But"

"No buts. For once I'm saying no to you. You're not getting your way this time and that's final"

"Jasper that's not fair. Sure leave the honeymoon up to the travel agent but no reception!"

"Trust me Ally you'll love my idea."

"Fine, on one condition. I don't want a big wedding."

"We should be able to keep it around 225"Jax said seriously.

"250 acceptances for 290 invites is a more realistic number dear."Jane said.

Ally's eyes widened in horror and were pooping out of her head. Jax and Jane were too busy talking numbers to notice her. Jerry watched her get more frustrated by the second as the figure kept rising. Jerry was waiting to see the steam come out of her head before she exploded. He shook his head and gave her a sympathetic smile. V. noticed Ally's face and could tell she was about to erupt. John said 330 and Ally snapped.

"Are you DEAF Jasper? I said small and I meant small. Liz's wedding was too big for my liking at 136! This is our wedding not a business networking party. Unless you have 100 first cousins you never mentioned who you are near and dear to there's no reason why we can't do 130 invites for 100 acceptances. I want to know at least 3/4 of my guests"Ally said firmly.

"Ally sweetie, the announcement of our engagement is going to hit every news agency in the world. You forget I'm very high profile and one of the world's most eligible bachelors. The interest in our wedding will be huge. It's sure to be the social event of the year. People all over the globe will be expecting invitations. We really can't do less than 225."

"Maybe "WE" can't but I certainly can. This is non negotiable Jasper, no buts"She said loudly.

Ally dear, I understand you want small but you really don't understand the demands."Jane said gently.

"No, you all don't understand. It's small or not at all. Pass the sweet potatoes please."She said calmly.

Jerry grinned at Ally as he passed her the dish. Ally did understand the demands that's why she's putting such a limit on it, he thought.

"No need to start a fight we can discuss this later."Jane said.

There's no need for a discussion, Ally thought.

"I agree with Al"V. whispered.

"So do I"Jerry whispered back.

"Shouldn't we support her?"V. asked.

"Later, not now or dinner could get ugly."Jerry knew Ally would win because she was never going to give up until Jax agreed to her terms. He also knew she meant or not at all, but he didn't think Jax realized how serious she was yet.

The rest of dinner was relatively quiet as the two camps plotted their strategies. After dinner Ally wandered into the library and sat down in the dark. She watched the moon cast a silvery glow over the snow and took a deep breath. She found herself wondering how she'd be able to stay with Jax if image was so important to him. She couldn't believe he was going to try to turn their wedding into one of those society galas that she despised. She chocked on her carrots when he said it would be the social event of the year.

"I thought I knew who you were Jasper."She said quietly.

"You do know me Ally."

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough"

"Oh"

"Are you mad at me?"

"That depends on how many guests you think you are inviting. I'm deadly serious Jasp, I want a small intimate wedding."

"It's that important to you?"

"Yes it is."

"Fine then 130 invitations it will be. But you can tell everyone that they aren't invited and listen to them rant and rave."

"Fine by me. Actually I think if we keep this really quiet until the invitations go out maybe fewer people will care."

"You don't mind keeping this quiet?"He asked.

"I'd prefer it Jasp. Only our attendants need to know. The lucky few will find out in the beginning of March when they get their invitations."

"How many weeks vacation will you have?"

"Hmm 6 plus one from this year and I get 3 more weeks for a honeymoon."

"Wow 10 weeks, take four then and I'll clear all of June. Any ideas where you want to go? I've never done the Orient Express and I know that is one of your dreams."

"I know exactly where I want to go and four weeks is perfect."

"Care to let me in on the plan?"

"I want to go to the beach house."

"And Hawaii or Australia is only 14 hours away"

"No just the beach house"

"We could cruise the Med. on Isabella. Ally I'm a billionaire, we can go anywhere in the world. Give it some real thought and you'll come up with a million ideas."

"I've had several ideas but none of them come close to the beach house. We can do some over night trips to Carmel, San Francisco and I've never been to Vegas."

"You're joking right?"

"No I'm serious. You said it was my decision and that's what I want. Or are you rescinding your offer?"

"No but...."

"Then it's settled. Have you asked Jer to be your best man yet?

"Just before I found you. I'm going to ask my friend Thao to be an usher. How many bridesmaids are you having?"

"3 and V."

"Then I need 2 more men. It's times like these that I wish I had close friends. Think Craig would say yes? We get along really well."

"I think Craig will be flattered. I always figured you had tons of friends."

"I do but they are social friends or business associates. I've always been very independent. I had Jer growing up and that was about it. Maybe I can ask my cousin Matt"

"Whose Matt?"

"Matthew Wilton the third. My Dad's sister's only son. He's a year older than me and the two of us use to get in all kinds of trouble as kids. When Jerry joined us we really ran wild. He lives in Sydney with his girlfriend of the month. He owns two luxury hotels, one in Sydney and the other in Melbourne. I haven't talked to him since August. You loved his Christmas card with the fish about to plug the Christmas tree lights in."

"Well he has a great sense of humour. Is he cute?"

"You'd think so and you are definitely his type. He'll probably try to steal you off me until he realizes you have brains and changes his mind."

"Into shallow blonde bimbos is he."Ally laughed.

"The stupider and shallower the better in his books. He dated this Playboy centerfold once who thought chocolate milk came from brown cows and Canada was the smallest US state."

"Geez, I guess he never has conversations. I love debating and carrying on intelligent conversations with you."

"Yes you do love to talk Ally."He teased.

"Like you don't have an opinion on everything? I swear you love the sound of your own voice."

"Funny sweetie, but that's you not me. The only time you're quiet is when you're sleeping or really mad at me."

"Well you talk in your sleep."

"I do not"

"Yes you do Jasper Jacks. Last night you told me you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. You must have been thinking about proposing."

"Really do I do it often?"

"No, just when there is something really big on your mind. Sometimes I hear you but I'm so sleepy the words don't register. Your nightmares scare me to death though. I'm wide awake before you are."

"Sorry, I know I really scared you last week."

"Jasp, I'm not going anywhere. How many times do I have to tell you I'll never leave you? I know it's hard for you to trust my love but you have to stop worrying about it. I'm not Brenda. I wouldn't treat my worst enemy the way she treated you. What can I do to prove it to you once and for all?"She said gently.

Jax looked down at his ring and smiled."Darling, I don't think I'll be having anymore nightmares. Do you know how much this ring means to me? Every time I look at it, I know you love me and you'll spend the rest of your life by my side. It's strange, I've had it for 13 hours and from the second you put it on my finger I've felt this incredible inner peace that I've never known before."

"Geez, am I ever glad I bought it for you then. Promise me you'll stop worrying about me leaving."

"I promise and I'll just play with the ring if the fears start creeping back into my head. Have you told Becky yet?"

"No I haven't told Miss Rebecca yet. Maybe I'll call her now before she goes to bed."

"My cell is in here somewhere use it."

"OK, you'll have to program mine for me. Is there any buche de noel left?"

"Yeah, I'll go get you a piece. Do you want tea or milk with it?"

"Milk please and thank you."

Ally found the phone on top of the stereo and called Becky. They talked about their gifts then Ally told her the good news. Becky was thrilled and couldn't wait for Ally to get home so she could see the ring. Becky happily agreed to be a bridesmaid and assured Ally she wasn't upset that V. was the maid of honour. They talked about weddings for a bit and said goodbye. Jax came back with the cake, milk and her cell phone in it's box. He sat down and started programming it for her.

"Becky is thrilled and said to wish you a Merry Christmas. She's mad at me because I won't let her throw us a huge engagement party. She agreed to keep it a secret. What took you so long?'

"Mom was in the kitchen and wanted to know if you were ok. I told her we were going to keep the guest list to one hundred. She doesn't think we'll be able to do it but I told her she didn't know what you were like when you've got an idea in your head."

"Am I that bad?"She laughed.

"I've never met anyone as determined as you Miss McComb. You never give up until you get what ever you want. You drive me insane sometimes with it but I really admire you for your tenacity. You really would be great at corporate raiding. I'd love to set you loose on MacClesfield Inc."

"In Britain?"

"No Halifax, they are a huge east coast shipping company. They are really mismanaging it and running it into the ground. I want to get my hands on it. The shipping rights, port space, contracts can all be sold off for a fortune."

"No offense Jax but I find your job very dull. You and V. bore me to death when you talk about deals. If you ever go after something interesting like Disney or Harrods, The Plaza or Warner Brothers let me know. I might want to hear about it and I may even want to help you.

Except for the odd day when I'm convinced I have the worst job in the world, I love my job. It's interesting, challenging and I get to do a lot of talking."

"Fine, I'll start looking for something fun to raid just for you."He laughed and decided that's exactly what he would do.

"So where are we going to celebrate New Year's Eve?"

"I thought we'd ....nice try Ally."He laughed.

"Damn, I almost had you. You aren't going to tell me are you?"

"Nope"

"Becky wanted to know if we were going to the Ice Ball?"

"I bought us two tickets. Are Beck and Tom going this year?"

"Yup at least I'll have you and them to talk to. Nothing grates on my nerves worse than society women. They are so phoney and self involved."

"I hate to tell you this Al but Paula is a society lady."

"She could be but she's not. She rarely goes to those functions and she is neither phoney or self involved. She volunteers at a few hospitals and works with abused kids. Sure she donates huge sums of money but she cares enough to donate a lot of her time too."

"Would you be interested in overseeing a charitable foundation if I set one up?"

"I'd love to if it was for kids. I'd want to be more involved than just serving as a figure head though. You know I'd get you as involved as I was."

"I figured as much. We'll work on it after our honeymoon. We've got enough to organize with the wedding."

"Oh, one more thing about the reception then I'll forever hold my peace."

"Care to make a wager on that my love?"

"Unlike you, I only bet when I'm sure I'll win. The odds are too much in your favour"She laughed.

"Sure don't bet when you know I have an excellent chance of winning. So what's your first of many requests."

"I'll be good, I promise. I don't want a head table. I want to sit at a table for six."

"You're strange Al but sure. In fact you can do all the seat assignments."

"You just can't be bothered with that headache. Nice try though, trying to make it sound like an honour."She laughed.

"I should have known you'd see through me. You will do it though right?"

"When the time comes I'll let you bribe me into it."

"Do you want to go skating?"

"Actually, I'd rather go upstairs and pick up where we left off before Jer interrupted us."

"I love the way you think Mrs. Jacks."He grabbed Ally and carried her upstairs to their room."

V. went upstairs a little later to change and heard Ally and Jax. She changed and went downstairs. She sat beside Jerry and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Well Ally and Jax are definitely not fighting anymore."

"Where are they?"

"Sounds like they are finishing what you interrupted."

"Ah, wondered how long it would take him. You should have seen the look on his face when I walked in."

"I can imagine it Jer. You really need to learn how to knock first. I had a great time today, thanks for inviting me."

"I'm glad you came. I would have been miserable without you."

"That's so sweet Jerry. Where did John and Lady Jane go?"

"To bed, which means we've got this floor to ourselves. Have any ideas?"

"Hmm just one"V. murmured as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a deep kiss.

Jerry lowered her back on the couch and continued to kiss her. His kisses were driving her wild. She was trying to undo his shirt buttons but they weren't budging. She grabbed the bottom and pulled hard sending the buttons flying.

"Patience darling"Jerry teased.

"Shut up and take me upstairs now"V. whispered.

Jerry scooped her up and brought her to his bed.

Flight of Destiny

Part Twenty Six

By Cathy

Ally woke up the next morning surprised to find Jax still wrapped around her. She glanced at her watch, it was 11:50. "Seems I wore you out last night."Ally whispered as she kissed his cleft.

Jax didn't move. She tried to move but Jax was holding her tightly and his legs were hooked around hers. Oh well staring at that beautiful face is a tough job but somebody has to do it, she said to herself. She loved watching him sleep. His pale lashes fluttering softly, his mouth turned up in a peaceful smile. That perfect cleft that she affectionately called an angels thumb print. The first time she said it, he looked at her like she was nuts. When she told him the story behind it he found he loved her even more. Ally had told him that when God created him all the angels in heaven looked at him and saw the most beautiful perfect baby ever created. Her guardian angel couldn't help touching his precious face and left her thumb print in his chin. She told Jax that she marked him for her so she'd know he was meant to be hers. Ally put her thumb in the cleft and it fit perfectly. Jax had taken her hand and kissed it and they shared the most incredible night of love making. She watched his muscular chest rising gently as he breathed. He moaned and opened his eyes slowly.

"Just what I wanted to see when I woke up. Morning luv."

"Good morning Jasp, sleep well?"

"Umm Hmm, you?"

"Umm Hmm, do we have any plans for today?"

"No but I wouldn't mind lying here for a while."

"You know I'm all for lying around. Good thing I didn't have to get up this morning."

"Why?"

"Why? I don't know, think it could have anything to do with the fact that you've got me pinned into bed?"She said sarcastically.

"Oh, sorry about that. You know how I love to keep you close to me."

"I'm not complaining, I'm just telling you."She said as Jax moved his legs and loosened his hold.

She stretched then wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. Jax slowly ran his hand up and down her right side.

"Al do you want kids right away?"

"Not really, but we have to take what we can since we do want children."

"Is it going to be that hard for you to conceive?"

"More like a challenge in timing. My cycle is so screwed up that I can never tell when or if it's coming. Since it can be months in between technically there are fewer eggs and fewer possibilities."

"And the pill doesn't help regulate you?"

"No I'm actually allergic to one of its components and it made me very sick."

"So you could have been pregnant in October when I stopped using protection?"

"I guess so. You sound surprised, didn't you notice I never took any pills beside my thyroid in the morning?"

"No I always assumed you were on the pill."

"You know what they say about when you assume..."She teased.

"Yeah, yeah I know my lust wench."

"Looking back on it we weren't very smart. The first time we made love we didn't use any protection."

"Well as much as I wanted to make love to you, I didn't think you'd go for it on our first date. Talk about a pleasant surprise when you woke me up. I reacted without thinking."

"I knew exactly what I was doing, I just didn't even think about that. You should have heard the lecture Lizzie gave me. I tunned her out when she started rattling off STD's."

"She was right though Al. We were stupid a lot during those first two weeks."

"I know but there's no point in worrying about it now. We were lucky. Hey how did we get on this subject?"

"Umm.... I asked you if you wanted kids right away."

"Oh yeah, we certainly go off into tangents."

"I think we are the King and Queen of tangents."

"No wonder we forget how we get onto a particular topic. How's V getting home?"

"Jer will have to fly her home after New Years. I've got to go to Port Charles when we get back. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course I do. When are we going?"

"The second week in Jan. for 3 or 4 days. It's not as interesting as you think it is though."

"I just want to meet Robin and Lucy and see the Quartermaines in action for myself."

"They won't disappoint you. I've never been in a room with the Q's with out a war of words breaking out. Lila and Emily are the only sane ones in the family."

"Sounds like fun to me."She laughed.

"You are seriously warped woman."He laughed.

"Really do you think this is warped?"She asked with a wicked grin. She lightly ran her finger along his lower lip and gave him an erotic kiss.

"Umm nothing warped about that."He replied and pulled her in for another kiss.

There was a knock on the door and Jerry opened it and walked in.

"It's 12:30 sleepy heads. We're going to the Fraisers' with Mum and Dad. We'll be back for dinner. See ya."Jerry said.

"Try to stay awake."Ally teased.

"Funny Alley Cat, very funny."He laughed and closed the door.

"Hmm looks like we have the house to ourselves."Jax said.

"Want to get some lunch then try out our new tub toys?

"I think we need to work up and appetite for lunch."He replied and kissed her neck.

"Jasper you are incorrigible."She laughed.

"Umm hmm"He murmured as he led a trail of kisses down to her belly button.

"What am I going to do with you Jasper?"She giggled.

"Make love to me"He answered and gave her an impish grin.

"God you're impossible to resist."She said softly and pulled him back up to her lips.

Jax quickly had them in the throws of passion. Ally was on fire and having Jax was the only way she'd ever be able to quench the desire that burned in her. They made love with reckless abandon pushing each other further until they both collapsed in exhaustion.

"Kinda reminds me of the yacht."Ally said breathlessly.

"Sounded like you were on the yacht."He teased.

"Hey if you don't like to hear me screaming your name in ecstasy I could think of someone else and call his name."She said sweetly.

"You horrid, evil wench!"Jax laughed and clobbered her with his pillow. She grabbed hers and pummeled him with it. They were laughing while waging a full scale pillow fight. Ally managed to wrestle his pillow away and had him pinned underneath her. Jax closed his eyes waiting for her to hurl the pillow on him. She loved the smirk on his face and had another idea. She tossed the pillow behind her and leaned down to give him a kiss to end all kisses. Ally finally drew her lips away and whispered into his ear "Wars over, time to kiss and make love."

"I'm incorrigible but you are insatiable luv."He said softly.

"Umm hmm"She moaned while she planted erotic little kisses on his stomach.

Jax happily obliged his financé and spent the rest of the afternoon making love with her. They both dozed off a little after 5pm. When they all came back with Chinese food at 6pm , Jane sent V and Jerry up to get Ally and Jax. Jerry opened the door and was amazed to see the room looking like a disaster zone. The bedside lamps were knocked over and the pillows, blankets and comforter were strewn across the room. Jerry looked up and realized that all that was left on the bed was Ally and Jax naked wrapped in each others arms.

"Looks like a hurricane hit."V. said from what she could see of the room over Jerry's arm.

"Yeah hurricane Ally"Jerry laughed.

V. ducked under his arm and saw Ally and Jax on the bed. "Oh my"

"Well we can't just wake them up or Jax will kill me."Jerry said and closed the door. He banged on it and called them to dinner.

Ally sat up and noticed the disaster that was their room.

"Wow what a mess!"She said.

"I'm surprised the house is still standing."Jax said with a grin.

"Jaaax!"Ally laughed and playfully hit him.

"I'm serious wench, hungry?"

"Famished especially considering the fact that we never made it to lunch."

"I didn't hear you complaining."He teased.

"You kept my mind off of food that's why. Unhand me so I can get dressed Jasp."

"You're no fun Al."

"You changed your tune very quickly. I was very fun a few minutes ago, remember?"

"Oh I remember, but you want to go eat instead of staying with me so that makes you no fun."He whined.

Ally just laughed and wiggled out of his arms. She got dressed and fixed the lamps while she waited for Jax. She couldn't remember when she ate so much Chinese food before. Jax was

as starved as her and they devoured everything in sight.

"Didn't you two eat lunch?"Jane asked.

"No."They replied together.

"They were rather busy Mum."Jerry said and gave them a knowing glance.

Jax blushed and Ally gave Jerry a silly grin.

"Oh I see. You know it is possible to wear yourselves out."Jane chuckled.

"MUM"Jax moaned.

Every one started laughing. After dinner Ally and Jax went skating and then they all played Jeopardy. V and Jax were winning until final Jeopardy when Ally and Jerry beat them by two dollars. In between yawns Ally lorded her win over Jax annoying him to no ends. He finally had enough of her teasing and carried her off to bed. She slid into bed and curled up to him.

"I win you lose again."She chimed sleepily.

"Ally go to sleep."

"You really hate to lose to me don't you?"

"Yes. I hate to lose period but losing to you all the time really drives me insane. Do you have to be so bloody competitive?"

"Sorry but it's in my blood. I think you'd be very disappointed if you ever beat me. I think you love the fact that I'm more competitive than you. I make your blood boil and keep life interesting."

"Well life with you is never boring but I'd love to beat you just once."

"Then keep trying but don't get your hopes up."She laughed.

"Go to sleep brat."He teased. He played with her hair and she was asleep in minutes. He kissed the top of her head and smiled.

"Life with you Al is a continuous series of incredible passionate adventures. I hope I never win because loosing is so much fun."He whispered and drifted off to sleep

Flight of Destiny

Part Twenty Seven

By Cathy

Ally woke up at 8:30 the next morning and left Jax in bed. She got dressed and headed outside to skate. She loved the solitude and skating always made her feel so free. So much had happened to her in the last four months that she occasionally felt overwhelmed and needed to clear her head. She stroked around the ice to warm up and started tracing figures in the ice until she felt completely calm and relaxed. She heard Jax before she saw him.

"Morning darling."

"Morning gorgeous, how did you know it was me?"

"I heard your boots crunching on the snow."

"It could have been Jer or Dad though."

"Fine, I sensed it was you."

"Now you sound like Lucy again."

"I'll take that as a compliment. I can't wait to meet her."

"Lady Jane is making French Toast and banana milkshakes for us. You've got about ten minutes."

"Umm sounds great. Today feels like a tub toy day!"

"I have a special lunch planned for us but after lunch we can hit the tub."

"I'm not even going to ask because you won't tell me."

"Eureka! She's finally caught on."He laughed.

Ally tossed a snowball at him and hit him in the middle of his forehead. He was about to retaliate when Lady Jane opened the door and told him to drop it or else. Ally laughed all the way up to the door. Jax grabbed her just as she entered the dinning room.

"You will pay my pretty!"He whispered.

"I'm sooo scared"She whispered back.

Jax gave her an evil grin and she knew she'd be in trouble when he took his revenge. After breakfast Jax disappeared and Ally went to go play video games with Jerry. She didn't have a clue what she was doing but she was having fun. Jerry patiently showed her what to do and after a few tries she was beating him.

"If I didn't adore you so much, I would kill you Al"

"I can't help it. I'm a quick learner and I'm very coordinated. You're a great teacher Jer, that's it."

"Sure beat me then try to flatter your way out of it. You're lucky I love having my ego stroked."

"Some one as wonderful, intelligent and handsome as you has an ego?"She asked with a smirk.

"My baby brother is right, you are an evil, evil wench. I only believe sincere flattery."

"I tried."She laughed.

"V was blown away when you asked her to be your Maid of Honour. She was crying when she told me. So we'll be your witnesses."

"Yup and Jax and I can be yours."

"I don't even want to think about marriage Al. Don't press your luck."

"I know Jer, I'm just teasing you. You are doing a great job with V."

"Thanks, I couldn't have done it without your help and V.'s patience and understanding. Think Jaxy still hates the idea of us?"

"No, He's still worried about V, but he's warming to the idea. By the time the wedding roles around he'll be supporting you."

"Whose wedding mine or yours?"

"Mine you geek."Ally laughed.

"Just checking, thought if you meant mine it would be a long time."

"Jer sometimes I wonder what you do with the brain God gave you."

"I've wondered that myself."Jax said from the door.

"I don't recall asking for your opinion baby bro."Jerry replied.

"Consider it a freebie. Ally get your coat on, lunch is waiting."

"Did I say you could whisk away my partner in crime bro?"

"She's my fiancee Jer not yours. I don't need your permission to do with her what I will."Jax said with a grin.

"No, but you need my permission buster!"Ally laughed.

"I should have never let you two meet."Jax groaned.

"Too late now darling. See ya later partner."Ally giggled.

"See ya Alley Cat. Give Jaxy a hard time for me now."

"I always do."She laughed.

"Don't I know it."Jax chuckled and grabbed Ally.

After she put her coat on Jax made her close her eyes. He picked her up and walked through the grounds to the treehouse. He set her down and told her to climb up the ladder. He had transformed the treehouse into a romantic dinning room. The table was covered in a linen table cloth with china, crystal, flowers and silverware. The wooden chairs had been cushioned and he had thrown blankets over the wooden benches. Soft music was playing from the stereo system.

"Jasp this is so amazing. I love it."

"I knew you would. Now doesn't this beat playing with Jer?"

"Most definitely."She murmured and gave him a deep kiss.

Jax poured them each a flute of champagne and pulled Ally's chair out for her.

" The lunch special today Madame is a spinach salad, grilled salmon, roasted peppers, snow peas and Champagne Ice for dessert."

"Umm sounds divine garcon. Je voudrais s'il vous plait."

"Ah oui, Je oublie, Madame parles francais."

"Oui, oui Monsieur Jacks."Ally said in a very sexy French accent.

They ate lunch in relative silence just enjoying being together. "Jax lunch was fabulous, thanks."She said.

"You're welcome, feel like doing some work?"He asked.

"That depends on what type of work you're suggesting."She said in a sultry voice.

"And you think I have a one track mind?"He laughed.

Ally got up and sat in his lap wrapping her right arm around his back. "We could work on this."She said as she traced his lips with her finger and gave him a long slow erotic kiss.

"I was thinking of the wedding plans but I like this work much better." He said and pulled her in for another kiss.

"Wedding planning? You've got my undivided attention."She said as she sprung off his lap and sat back down in her chair.

"I should have just kept my mouth shut."Jax moaned.

"Too late now. We can go back to that work later I promise."

"Fine slave driver. Is there anything you wouldn't want to eat at the reception?"

"Hmm brussel sprouts, fruit cake, beans, turnips, parsnips, anything mocha flavoured, red wine and squash come to mind."

"Hate all of those myself except for the red wine and I don't mind mocha. What do you think about the Waldorf Astoria Ballroom?"

"Jasp it's huge for 100 people!"

"So we'll have a lot of room for a dance floor. We'll need it when I waltz you around in a wedding dress."

"True but I still think it will be too large."

"Not when I'm finished with it."

"Since I have no idea what your secret agenda is, if you like it I'm game."

"Good now let's hope May 27 is free. Where shall we stash everyone?"

"The Plaza or Waldorf. I know the GM at the Plaza. I'll start on it when we get back."

"OK, since you love lilies of the valley and champagne roses I think we should fill the church and ballroom with them."

"Oh Jasp it will smell so heavenly. We have to look at invitations, pick out a china pattern and register for gifts. That we can't do until we get back."

"Actually Al what do you think of this china?"

"I really like it, it's different and very elegant looking. Why?"

"It's Royal Doulton's Tapestry. They stopped making it more than twenty years ago. My Grandmother gave my Mum 24 place settings as a wedding gift. I've always really liked it and when Mum saw me with the plates she asked if we'd like to have them as our china."

"Oh Jax, I'd love to have them especially since they are being passed down to us. I love the little grapes and pears and that pale green is really nice."

"Are you sure you don't want to pick our own?"

"Jasp I'm positive, just the fact that you want it makes me want it too. Not to mention that I really do love the pattern."

"OK I believe you. What else can we settle?"

"Hmm, I think I'll ask Kate to be a bridesmaid but we need two readers. I'd like to ask Grace for sure."

"Cool with me, I like Grace a lot too. I'll ask Robin if you like her."

"Jasp from everything you've told me about her, I'm sure I'll love her as much as you do."

"OK we have our readers and bridal party. We know what cake we want. Hmm orchestra, band or DJ?"

Ally thought about it for a minute and gave Jax a big grin.

"I know that look. The patented McComb all of the above smile."He laughed.

"Umm hmm"Ally giggled.

"See we'll need all that space for sure now."

Ally got up and sat on his lap again."I think we've done enough for now. Time to get back to our last project."

Before Jax could answer her Ally's lips were on his. He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Their kisses quickly went into overdrive until Jax could no longer contain his passion. He picked Ally up but didn't know where to lay her down.

"You clear the table, I'll get the blankets."She moaned between sizzling kisses.

She waited while Jax cleared the table and spread out the blankets. Jax lowered her to the table and undid her jacket. Ally went to wrap her arms around his neck and felt a searing pain in her shoulder. She cried out in pain and started moaning.

"Ally what's wrong?"

"My left shoulder is killing me. It owwwwww hurts to move my arm."

"Where?"

"Here"She reached back with her other hand to touch the muscle just under her shoulder blade. Jax touched it and she screamed in pain.

" Sorry sweetie, but it feels like you've got a rock in there. You must have pulled the muscle and it's seized to protect itself from further damage. We need to get ice on it right away to get the swelling down."

"You broke me Jasp."She whined.

"What?"Jax couldn't help laughing at her comment.

"Thanks, I'm in pain and you think it's funny."

"No I think telling me I broke you is funny."

"Just help me get my coat on."

Ally couldn't get her arm in her sleeve so Jax had her tuck her arm in and closed the jacket around it. He helped her down the ladder and got her back into the house. He had her sit down on a stool and held an ice pack on her shoulder. After 20 minutes Ally couldn't feel her shoulder anymore. Jax asked Jerry to keep the ice on her and went to clean up the treehouse. V tagged along to help him.

"Thanks for helping sweetie."

"Anytime Jax. How did Al hurt her shoulder?"

"I don't know exactly. I think she must have pulled a muscle when she went to wrap her arm around me. Her right arm made it then I heard a scream."

"Geez, I hope she's better fast or you're New Year's surprise will be ruined."

"Thanks for not telling her where we are going. You were very convincing at Christmas dinner."

"You've taught me a lot Jax. One of those lessons was how to tell a convincing lie. Besides it was for a good cause."

"Did you ever think when you started tailing me we'd end up here?"

"No, I never even dreamed I'd be at your parents house in your old treehouse."

"That's not what I meant wench!"

V giggled then held his hand. "No Jax, I never thought case 102 would bring me the best friend I ever had. And I don't mean Ally, Mr Jacks Sir."

Jax grinned and rolled his eyes. He ran his thumb along her cheek. "You were the only bright spot of that entire horrible summer. You're my best friend too doll. I've always wondered why you didn't let me kiss you again?"

"It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made but I knew you were still hung up on Brenda and I knew you needed a friend more than a lover. When you care about someone as much as I care about you, you do what's best for them. Not just what every fiber of your love sick being is telling you."

"You're always right, annoying but right. I needed your friendship more than I ever needed anything in my life. No regrets though?"

"Now no, then you better believe it. My entire body wanted to kill my brain. You?"

"Actually yes. I've often wondered what might have been. If we would have been good together. I think we owe each other that second kiss."

"Jax you're kidding right?"She asked in amazement.

"No Venus I'm not."He replied as he held her face in his hands and gave her a long tender kiss.

V responded to his kiss and when they finally pulled away they were both breathless.

"Wow, I never would have wanted to leave that island."

"Brenda who?"Jax asked.

V started laughing and Jax joined her. "We better get back before Jerry thinks we ran off together."

"Jax we can't tell Jer about this."

"I agree but I'll probably tell Al when she's in a better mood."

"Fine, she'll stay quiet. Any regrets now?"

"Nope"

"Me either, let's get going."

"Yes former Deputy Ardanowski."

"Ha ha Jasper"

"V?"

"What?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, now move it."
