[Locked to Carrie]

[thewolfinside]

There was one very exhausted werewolf sprawled out on the bed in the master bedroom. He'd spent most of the day either chasing Ella around or trying to help decorate the house. He had no idea what set Lil off and made her want to turn the entire place into a winter wonderland, but it had worn him out.

Or that was what he was going to tell everyone. No way was he going to admit that spending four hours entertaining Ella had tired him out. Of course, he wasn't so tired that the thought of pulling out some paintball guns wasn't entertaining, but he'd just wrapped them and wasn't going to go digging in the hiding spot for them.

Instead he was going to lay here and pretend to be dead and hope Lil took pity on him.

Someone had been missing for the fun and games. Someone that Lil had sought out and couldn't find. Someone that now snuck into the bedroom and curled up at Jason's side before whispering. "Is she done yet?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Nope. She finally got the tree down and was talking about making someone go cut down another one for her so she could put it upstairs in the rec room." Jason grins and curls up around Carrie, wrapping his arms around her. "I think she's gone insane."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She snuggled in close, nodding eagerly. "She has. She used to do this every year and I was praying she was over it but... I guess not."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Every year?" Jason sounds just a bit horrified at that thought and whimpers, trying to hide under the covers now.

"Next year? I'm leaving."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She giggled, smacking his rear. "Why do you think I haven't been around?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"You could have warned me," he growled. Catching her hand, he nips at her fingers. "Bad girl."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She laughed, shaking her head. "If we had both disappeared, she would have gotten suspicious. Every man for himself."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"But, if you had told me, I could have pushed Gabe into her path and then ran!" Every many for himself indeed.

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Carrie laughed more, shifting to bite at Jason's shoulder. "You'd sacrifice your husband?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason grins slowly, grabbing hold of her hands. "And you."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

"And me,' she gasped, looking shocked. "Why you have no honour, sir."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason grins and leans in. "I'd sacrifice Ella to get away from Lil's holiday obsession." Then he licks her nose.

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Making an ew face, she swats him. "You would not. You love her best."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yes, yes I would. I may love her, but if it would get me away that insanity out there, I would do it." He grins and kisses her. "She's young, she'll forget it."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She hates giggling but around him it's okay. "It's not over, you know."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

He blinks and shudders, then tries to hide under the blankets again. "I'll drag you and Gabe and Ella off someplace warm and we won't come back until she's done."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She sighed, slinking under the blankets with him. "I wish I could but, you know, my fiancee and all."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"Yes! Your fiancee. You can make her stop or something!"

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Carrie actually burst out laughing. "Suuuure. If I could, don't you think I would have years ago?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason frowns, cuddling her closer. "Why does she freak out about this time of year?"

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Carrie paused, not even sure if she should say but Jason deserved to know. "Cause her parents sucked about it and hardly did anything."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"oh." Jason should have figured that out on his own. "Well, I guess I'll let her go and stop bitching then."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "I didn't get Christmas much either and I'm not insane,' she added, winking. "You got the good girl."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"You're damn right I did." He nuzzles at her throat, nipping gently. "Only the best for me."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She moved to preen, as best she could laying on the bed. But that ended with a moan, shivering against him.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

He chuckles and runs a hand over her side. "All mine."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Groaning, she tried to bite back the sound. "How... how are you?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason sighs and shrugs, lifting his head to nuzzle at her cheek. "Itchy, sometimes sore and I still have dead spots. It'll be better in another week or so."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

"I... I thought you guys healed really fast,' she whispered, tensing because she regretted asking.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason grins, tickling her a bit. "We do, but nerves are tricky little bitches. They like to lag behind."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Laughing, she batted at his hand. "Hurry up,' she hollered at his chest as if it would listen.

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Rolling his eyes, he kisses her again. "Trying, babe."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I care and I don't like you hurt."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"I care and I don't like me hurt either."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Cuddling in close, she kissed him. "I love you."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

He nuzzles her cheek, smiling. "Love you too, babe."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She was quiet for a long time before lightly nipping his chin. "So, uhmm, how is Gabe doing?'

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason sighs, curling up next to her. "He's Gabe. He says everything is fine, pretends everything is fine, even when it's not. I think he's starting to do a little better though."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She stared at him, eyes almost closed but she was watching him the entire time. "Do you think he'll ever get his memory back?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Shaking his head, Jason runs his hand over stomach, needing touch right now. "I doubt it. Most of the time, with temporary amnesia, people experience deja vu. With Gabe, there's no recognition at all."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Arching, she presses into his touch but not needily. Just learned in the ways of pard. "I was really worried about that. With the four of us."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason grins, rolling his eyes. "He adjusted to the relationship with Lil well enough."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Carrie laughed. "Did they let you leave the room?"

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

"I showed up afterwards. It's one of the few things I remember from when I was doing the warlod possession thing."

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

She can't help but laugh at that. "I... As with the christmas thing? I avoided that was well."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

He grins and pokes her in the ribs. "What? You didn't want to get conquered by an ancient greek?"

[wildblue-babe.livejournal.com]

Squirming, Carrie grins more. "Uhmmm, no. Pretend, sure. But real? They smelled and were cruel."

[thewolf-inside.livejournal.com]

Jason blinks and stares at her with sad puppy eyes. "I smelled?"
