The New Family Member

Anna smiled and slowly fell asleep. She knew what Jack said was not true. This was where their story ended. It was all her fault too. Anna woke up the next morning and felt so broken.


When Jack got home Bianca hugged him tight. "I heard what happened. Are you going to be alright Jack?" She asked and raised an eyebrow.

Jack hugged her back and smiled even though he felt like he shouldn't," Yeah ill be find don't worry about me." he then went up stairs but instead of going to sleep in his room he laid down in Anna's


( Just wanted to ask, so is this how it will end or do you want them to meet when they are out of college or something.)
 
(I actually don't want it to end so maybe like they meet after college. Anna will work at a bakery.)

(Sure ^^)


It has been at least 4 or 5 years since Anna last saw Jack that day at the hospital. Who knew what all happened after that. He could be with Bianca, hell he could be married to her. She didn't know.


She was at work and in the bake working on a cake for someone when she heard the bell go off. She made a lot of business at her bakery because she would do designs nobody had ever done before.


She walked over and had flour on her face. "Hello there. Were you going to order a cake?" Anna asked. Her hair was shorter and was black instead if brown. She wore glasses and now she had front bangs.

Jack look at the lady in front of him and smiled," Yes please, I'm here to order a birthday cake for my little sister Monica. Do you do cakes?" he chuckled a bit and started to look at the different cakes in the book that was on the counter. He had on a plain red t shirt, jeans and boots on
 
Anna's eyes grew a bit wide when she realized who it was infront of her but she just smiled and nodded. "I do. Was there a specific theme for your sister Monica?" She asked as she went to the office to the get the form and one if the different cakes in the book was one off the picture she drew from him. The nightmare before Christmas one. She then walked back and walked over to where he was with her clipboard and pen. "How many people were you planning on feeding?" She asked him first. "Oh and the name for the order please."

Jack thought about it then said," Well I'm feeding four people myself included and I thought a nightmare before Christmas theme would be nice." he then realized the woman voice sounded similar and then he had an idea of who he was talking to but just to be sure he asked," So how long will this order take, Sally?" he then grinned at her
 
Sally. She hadn't heard that in forever. Anna laughed softly and decided just a simple small cake would be fine. "Depends when you need it by, Jack Skellington." She told him and went to the office to bring out her small nightmare before Christmas book. "Which one do you like?" She asked leaning over the counter and looking at the designs herself.

Jack chuckled and took out his wallet and handed her a old looking folded up piece of paper and said," I need it by next Saturday. Do you think you can manage that Anna. Oh and please make it resemble the picture on the paper the best you can." he chuckled and grinned at her and used his Jack Skellington voice to ask," You will do your best right?"
 
Anna felt a single tear stroll down her face as she recognized the picture. She took it from him and laughed softly and nodded. "Of course I can and don't I always?" She asked and put the order in the back so she could start working on it today. She walked back out and put a chocolate chip cookie, two sugar and one peanut butter for Monica mom and dad. "Don't tell them who it's from but here." She said and handed him the bag. "So how have you been Jack?" She asked as she wiped the flour off her face.

Jack smiled and said," I'm good. I just moved into an apartment downtown and life's going pretty good." he then looked over the counter and saw that Anna was standing by herself, he chuckled and said," So the feeling in your leg did come back. I knew it would." he chuckled and asked," So how have you been Anna, you seem to be doing pretty well for yourself."
 
"That good to hear." Anna said as she then sat on the stool but then nodded. "Yeah it did. I'm glad it did actually." She said and smiled and then sighed. "You know, the usual. I've had three tumors grow over the years but they were all removed and luckily only one was cancerous." She told him and then continued, "but other than that life has been great. Opened this place up not to long ago and have been making quite the money off it." She said and laughed softly.

Jack chuckled and said," You know we should hang out sometime. What time do you close up shop?" he smiled at her and thought about it for a bit and then decided it would be nice to hang out with Anna again. They hadn't see each other for so long and he really did miss her.
 
"At 6 so maybe we can go catch dinner or a movie?" Anna told him as another customer walked in but the little girl ran over and gave Anna a hug. "Big sister! Big sister! Is my cookie finished?!" The little girl asked and Anna laughed, "if course it is. In the back like always." She told her and then looked over at Jack. "Oh right, that's Calypso. When I got my new family we um... Both got it rough so I moved out and she got a new home." Anna told Jack and smiled.

Jack was a bit concerned with what she meant by they both had it rough, but just smiled at her and said, " A movie does sound nice, so should I come pick you up later. Where do you live anyway?" he chuckled as he remembered the first date they went on, well you really couldn't call it a date, since he got stabbed. He then gently rubbed where his scar was, but continued to smile at her
 
Anna remembered what was there underneath where Jack was rubbing but she smiled softly. "Oh right. I live at the apartments by Crockett Elementary since that's where Calypso goes to school." She told Jack and smiled. "Big sister who's this?" Calypso asked as she came out from the back eating her cookie. "Oh this is an old friend of mine. His name is Jack." She told him and Calypso raised her eyebrow. "Is he Jack Skellwington? The one you always talked about?" She said and Anna blushed a deep red. "O-of course not Caly" she told her

Even though Jack was blushing he chuckled and grinned at the both of them, he then looked at Anna and said," I'll ask about that little bit of info later Sally when I come pick you up, but for now ill leave it at that. ill see you guys later." he then leaned over and kissed Anna's cheek and waved goodbye to them as he left. As he drove to his parents house he couldn't stop smiling
 
Anna was left speechless but she couldn't help but let out a wide smile. She couldn't stop smiling the whole day and boy did she get busy. There were so many birthdays and wedding anniversaries in this month.


When Jack came home, Monica went and saw the bag. She wasn't 8 anymore. She was a pre teen. "Did you bring me a cookie?" She asked as her face lit up with excitement.

Jack smiled and nodded at his sister," Take your pick. Oh and I can't stay for very long I got a date I got to go to in a little bit." he then sat the bag down on the table and took out a chocolate chip cookie and begun to eat it as Monica sat down
 
"Oh really? With who might I ask?" Monica asked as she took out the cookie and began eating it. She let out a yawn and the realized she had weekend homework which was never fun.

Jack smiled at her and said," A girl I met her name is Sally." he looked at the time and when he saw that it was 5:30 he got up and kissed Monica's head and said," Well I better get going, ill see you later and tell mom and dad I said hi." with that he left and headed back into town and as he did he smiled and thought of how everything would go tonight
 
Anna was finishing the last sheet of sugar fondu she needed for a wedding cake when she heard the bell ring. She was trying to walk over but slipped and the bowl of flour fell on her. She let out a laugh and shook her head.

Jack pulled up to the bakery, he wanted to see if she needed any help, and as he walked in he saw the scene and let out a laugh as he said," Even now I am having to help you out." he grinned and helped her up and smiled then asked," Where you trying to become a ghost or something Sally?" he was using the other jacks voice and chuckled a bit like he would
 
Anna let out a soft laugh and smiled. "Possibly my Jack Skellington." She told him and then walked to the bathroom to wash up. She then came out and started to out things away. "So what are we going to do tonight?" She asked and hid the cake for Jack and out it in the fridge.
