Chapter Text
Hey Tim, so me and Jack are doing awesome. He's finally asking me for some help when he can't do stuff, like re wrapping his bite and reaching stuff on the top shelf (LOL). I kinda want to ask him about what he said to me a few days ago, about who he lost, but I don't want to mess up the peace we have right now. The zombies seemed to have slowed down a little, especially with the foot of snow right outside of our cabin. We're kind of starting to get cabin fever, but there's not really anything we can do about it. We have fun sitting down together, cuddling, and just talking about stuff. I love listening to Jack's accent, it's the cutest thing in the world. Don't judge me, you know it is. Hopefully things stay this peaceful for a while, I really don't want to lose Jack, he's the best thing that's happened to me, especially since the apocalypse started. Speaking of apocalypse, I think I'm going to start examining Jack's blood and what makes him immune and what I could do to make it into an antidote or a immunization. I really hope we can stop this thing, before everyone's gone. I hear a thumping outside of the cabin, I'm gonna go check what it is, be back soon, hopefully.

As I got up from the couch, I heard Jack come up behind me and wrap his arms around my waist.
"Hey, did you hear that thumping outside? Do you wanna go look at it?" I asked him, putting my hands over his on my stomach.
"Sure. We hafta go together though. I don' wanna go alone."
"Awwww. Is my Jackiepoo scared?" I giggled at him, interlacing our fingers and turning around.
"No! I'm da bravest person ever!" He said while blushing.
"Of course you are." I smiled and gave him an Eskimo kiss.
"C'mon ya big doof. Let's go look ou'side and see what made that noise."
"Alright. I bet it was just a squirrel. It's too cold for anything else." I grabbed Jack's hand and pulled him to the porch, where I peeked outside. I heard some sniffling, and head towards the sound. As I round the corner of the cabin, I see a tiny figure leaning under the window of the cabin.
"Hey! Are you ok?" I shout at the figure, trying to see what it is. I hear some more sobbing, and it turns it's head towards me. It's a little girl. She can't be any older than 2. She looks at me and tries to stand up, but falls back down and starts to cry harder. I run towards her and scoop her up, and I can hear Jack gasp behind me. He lays his jacket over the little girl, covering her black hair and her tattered sweater and jeans. She grasps onto me, sobbing into my shirt and mumbling something, but I can't quite hear it.
"Let's get 'er back to the house. She mus' be freezin'." Jack says, pulling her out of my arms and hugging her to his chest. She seems to have quieted down, but is shivering really badly.
"Yeah. I'll go put more wood on the fire. You set her up next to it and make her something to eat. She must be starving." Looking at Jack with the little girl, with so much concern in his eyes, made something inside of me twist. Hopefully this little girl is ok. I can finally have a family.
~The Smallest of Time Skips~
Jack was speaking softly to the little girl when I walked into the cabin.
"Do you have a name, little one?" He asked her as he gave her a blanket and wrapped her up in front of the fire.
"M-my name is S-Sammy." (Don't say you didn't see that coming)
"Alright Sammy, Is chicken noodle soup OK?"
She nodded and pulled the blanket closer to her body, turning towards the fire and leaning on Jack. Walked into the kitchen and heated up the soup, making sure it was warm enough and even making some grilled cheese for all of us.
As I walked out, I saw Sammy sitting in Jack's lap, asleep as Jack brushed through her long hair. He was gently picking out sticks and leaves and making sure that he didn't wake her up. She was snoring gently in his lap and Jack had a small smile on his face.
"Hey, you hungry? I have dinner." I whispered, sitting next to Jack.
"A little, but I don' wanna wake 'er up. She's so precious, Markimoo. Can we keep her?" He looked up at me with his puppy dog eyes, and how could I resist?
"Of course, I'm not going to kick her back into the snow. She's a part of the family now."
"Family? I've always wan'ed a family." He hugged her closer and leaned on me, resting his head on my shoulder.
"Me too. And I've got the most beautiful one right here." I hugged my family closer, kissing Jack on the cheek and Sammy on the top of her head.
