And a snippet from "it's Complicated" Spoilers: None Pairing: Jack/Liz, mention of Jack/Avery, mention of Liz/Carol, Avery/Carol Summary: A future fic, maybe? ---------------------------------------------------- "Lizzie?" "What?" Liz's hand locks on his hand. They were dancing to a slow song, which she hated, but since she was drunk she needed to calm her nerves. There was no one else in the room except on the other side, where Avery and Carol were, sitting and talking. "Your hands are holding mine. Your body's a centimeter away from me." "Oh, jeez. Sorry, Jack." "No, no. It's fine. It's winter anyway, so let's stay warm." "And that's not a euphemism for sex, right?" "Of course not, Lemon. Just think of this as a hug." "Whatever you say, Jackie. Boy, this song sure is going slow." "Lemon, look. I think Avery and Carol are hitting it off." "Yeah. I know. They seem cute together." It's been 3 months ever since Jack broke up with Avery and Liz broke up with Carol. They couldn't take it. Carol was just the perfect man for Liz, like a second copy. And that was the issue with Jack and Avery too. They both wanted to have conflicts in their life, differences, but not like fighting all the time, but like differences in likes of food, television shows and especially politics. "I assume they're talking about us." "Yeah. I've seen them give us looks." ----- "Avery?" "What, Carol?" "Look at them. Jack and Liz." "So, what about them?" "They're...perfect. I mean, look at how her head fits perfectly on his shoulders. Like his shoulders were built for Liz's head only. And they've been hugging for 10 minutes and dancing. When I dated her, my shoulders were too straight and weak to hold her heavy head and she wouldn't let me hug her for more than 2 minutes." "Look, Carol. I don't give a crap about Jack and Liz right now. It's already bad enough we have Abbie to raise." Abbie was Carol and Avery's daughter, which Avery thought was Jack's. Abbie was 1 month old, crying like crazy every night and Carol had to get up, while Avery put ear muffs to mute out the sound. But it was okay. Carol liked taking care of Abbie. Her cries were always at the time he had to wake up for his flight. Before he left, he gave Abbie to Liz to take care of. Liz and Jack became the 2nd pair of parents of Abbie. Basically, they were available each and every day. They treated Abbie like their own daughter and sometimes Avery even let her stay there for 2 days. "I'm just sayin'. Being with Liz got her with Jack. You being with Jack got him with Liz. It was a lifestyle. Now, you wanna dance?" Avery was already drunk. "Sure." When they got to the dance floor, they couldn't find Jack or Liz. They looked at a dim-lighted corner where they saw the two of them making out. But it seemed both of them wanted more. Jack was kissing the sides of Liz's neck and he kissed her collarbone. He was so glad she was wearing a dress. But before he kissed any lower, Liz stopped him. It seemed like she was saying that they could go home and continue. He whispered something in her ear. In the distance, Avery knew that grin and that whisper of his was sexy talk. He was talking about all the ways he was gonna do it to her. Liz jabbed him in the arm playfully and ran to the limo as fast as she could. "Come on, slowpoke!" Liz said (more like screamed.) -------- In the middle of great, hot sex, the phone rang. "Don't get it, Lemon." "I have to get it. I have a show to run." Liz answered the phone. "Hi, Jenna. Are you still on the phone?" Jack kissed her. "I mean the plane! Are you still on the plane? No, I have no idea where he is! Okay, bye." "Now, where were we?" And before Liz could say anything, Abbie started crying. Both sighed, put their clothes on, and put Abbie back to bed. After they got her to bed, they sat on the couch, watching TV. This was nice, Jack thought. Never in a million years that Liz Lemon thought they would end up like THIS. Sitting on a couch together, watching TV, having a family (Abbie), and being happy. Would she like this life? Would she adopt Abbie? Both don't know yet. But they like it like this. END
