"Hey, cupcake..." (Y/n)'s eyes slowly open and Jack stood in front of her, leaning over so they were eye to eye. Her eyes widen slightly as he smiled softly at her, "You're finally up." He says as she swallowed the lump forming in her throat. He wasn't wearing a mask, and his actual face looked... Normal. Jack's face didn't have its Vault scar that marred it and he had both of his eyes. He had a little goatee on his chin and he had shining blue eyes.

     "J-Jack...? Is that really you...?" (Y/n) somehow managed to let those words fall out. Jack smiles and chuckles.

     "Of course it is, babe! You don't recognize your own husband?" He picked up her left hand and kissed the back of it, she noticed a diamond studded ring in her finger and she looked up at him.

     "Husband? We're married?" She asked, confusion written over her features. Jack looks at her in confusion before chuckling.

     "Uh, yeah. For the last 4 years, Dum-Dum." He says with a smirk as he slumped down on the couch next to her, he put his arm around her shoulders and held her close. (Y/n) noticed that they were in a penthouse, not the penthouse at Helios, but a penthouse at a completely foreign place. She looked out the large window to see tall buildings and skyscrapers, it was busy down below in the streets.

     "Where-Where are we?" She asked. Jack looked down at her with a brow arched.

     "Home?"

     "No, I mean-Where are we? What planet is this?" (Y/n) asked as he frowned.

     "Um... Earth? You're in New York City, cupcake." He says as he took his free hand to place on her forehead, "Are you feeling alright? You seem out of it. Like, really out of it."

     "Earth...? New York...?" She repeated the foreign words quietly under her breath, "What about Pandora? A-And Elpis? What about Helios and Hyperion? The Vault Hunters? The Vaults?"

     "Woah woah woah woah. Slow down there." Jack says with a confused smile, "What are you talking about? Hyperion is my company and Helios Tower is on Broad Street. You know this. But what the crap is Pandora and Elpis? Vault Hunters? Vaults?" He says as she stared at him, this foreign place started to feel like home, like she belonged there.

     "Huh... Must have been a weird nightmare..."

     "Are you alright? You're not catching a fever, right?" Jack asked with concern written over his face, "You're acting really weird right now." (Y/n) grimaced before nodding slightly with a small smile.

     "Y-Yeah. I'm fine." She reassured as she decided to play along and learn on the way. Jack smiles and pulled her closer to him.

     "That's good. Wouldn't want you to be sick and have me catch it. Gross." He joked playfully as she lightly slapped his chest. Jack chuckled and leaned in, pressing his lips against hers. (Y/n) feels her heart almost burst as she leaned into him and kissed him back, humming in satisfaction as she never wanted this feeling to end. Jack smirked and tilted his head slightly to deepen the kiss.

     "Ew, gross, dad." A voice says behind them. They both pull away and look behind them. There stood a young girl in her mid to late teens, long black hair and shining blue eyes like Jack's.

     "Don't be like that, Angel. Don't like seeing your old man getting it on?" Jack teased with a smirk, making the teen groan in disgust. (Y/n)'s eyes widen at the name and looked at Angel.

     "Angel....?" She murmured quietly as she stared at her in astonishment.

     "Don't say it like that, dad, please. That's so weird and gross." Angel whined, "I know you two are in love with each other and all but really... While I'm still living here?"

     "In case you forgot as well, Angel's your stepdaughter." Jack whispered in (Y/n)'s ear and her eyes widen even more, Angel frowns slightly as she looked at (Y/n).

     "You forgot who I was?" She asked as (Y/n) processed the information, Jack looked at his daughter.

     "She's been feeling kinda unwell but she's okay." Jack reassured with a smile as Angel nodded and walked over to them and sat down, so (Y/n) sat between Jack and Angel.

     "Are you feeling any better?" Angel asks as she leaned her head on the confused woman's shoulder.

     "Uh, yeah. I just had a weird nightmare. I'll be fine." (Y/n) says with a small smile. Angel smiles up at her and the young woman feels a motherly tingling inside of her.

     "That's good."

     "So, just to make sure... We've been a family for 4 years?" (Y/n) asked as Jack smiled.

     "Yep."

     "How long have we known each other, Jack?"

     "For about 6 years, including those 4 of being married." Jack says.

     "You and dad dated for two years." Angel adds as she pulled out a device that seemed like an ECHO but not and tapped through it. (Y/n) looked at it in fascination before looking at Jack.

     "How did we meet again? It's a bit fuzzy." She says while sheepishly rubbing the nape of her neck. Jack pondered the thought as he tried to remember the events himself.

     "Well, uh, we met at Moxxi's bar. We both knew Moxxi because she was a family friend of yours and I used to date her so I swung by to say hi and then I saw you." Jack says as he smiled widely to himself, "You sat at the bar in a really sexy outfit. Like, all the guys were drooling over you. I mean, I don't blame them because you were extremely hot and I may have gotten a bit turned on-."

     "Dad!" Angel whined with a frown as (Y/n) blushed, "I'm right here." Jack laughs as he ruffled her hair.

     "Sorry, kiddo. Anyway, I watched you for a few hours while I drank because I didn't know how to go up to you like some creep."

     "Watching me for a few hours sounds creepy." (Y/n) says with a smile as he placed a finger on her lips.

     "Shhhh, that's not the point!" He said with a snicker as she rolled her eyes, "I eventually got the balls to go up to you and ask you your name. Moxxi might've gotten a bit protective over you because you were what, 19 at the time? But that didn't stop me because we went on a bunch of dates after that night for two years and then I proposed. Of course I introduced you to Angel and my twin brother, Timothy before that but yeah." Jack says with a smile as he looked down at her, "And let me tell you, the past 6 years with you have been the best years of my life. Do you know why?"

     "Why?" (Y/n) asked with a smile as Jack grinned and pulled her and Angel in a big hug in his arms and squeezing. They laugh as they are squished together and pressed against Jack's chest.

     "Because here I am, the most luckiest guy in the entire world, sitting here with the two girls who mean everything to me." (Y/n) smiles widely and leaned up to peck his lips, he smiles and pecks back before placing a peck on top of Angel's head, "I love you two so much."

     "Love you too, dad." Angel says with a smile at the two, "And I love you too, mom." (Y/n) only feels her smile widen even more.

     "I love you too, Jack. You too, Angel." She says as she hugged both of them. This was what she and Jack dreamed of. This is the happiness and peace that they longed for and (Y/n) adored it. A normal and stable relationship and happy family. This was the Jack that (Y/n) had dreamed of being with, a loving husband and loving father to his daughter where the two had a healthy father and daughter relationship.

     "I love you, (Y/n). You and Angel are what keep me going and on my feet. I couldn't have asked more because I have everything that I could ever ask for right here." Jack murmured in her ear and pressing a kiss on her cheek, she could feel tears form in her eyes at his words. Remembering how much she missed him and his voice and touch. She missed everything about him.

      "Don't leave me, Jack... Don't leave us..." She murmured shakily as a few tears fell. Angel looks at her in slight confusion and so does Jack, "Please... I don't wanna be alone..." He smiled softly, reaching a hand up to place on her cheek and wiping her tears away with his thumb.

     "I would never leave you, babe. I'll always be right here for both you and Angel." Jack chuckles and pressed a kiss on her forehead, "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

     "Good..." She whispered softly as her eyes closed and her body sunk into their touch, not wanting Angel and Jack to leave her.

     "We'll stay right here and keep you company..." The two say softly, their voices becoming echoes and distant, "(Y/-"

     "/n)." (Y/n)'s eyes snap open with a gasp, Rhys' hand stops shaking her shoulder gently. The others stood around her as she laid back on the couch. A look of concern on their faces. Her eyes scan her surroundings and they were in the caravan, she feels her heart break in two. "It was all a dream..." She whispered quietly with sadness lacing her words.

     "Are you okay?" Rhys asked softly as he kneeled down to her, "You looked like you were having a nightmare."

     "Y-Yeah." (Y/n) grumbled as she slowly sat up, "How long was I asleep for...?"

     "A couple of hours." Fiona says as she handed her a handkerchief, "Here, you were crying in your sleep." (Y/n) reaches up and touched her cheek that were stained with tears, she sniffs and takes the cloth.

     "Thanks..." She mumbled while wiping her eyes and cheeks, feeling rather depressed now.

     "Are you sure you're okay, (Y/n)?" Sasha asked worriedly.

     "Yeah, I'm totally fine. Just had a bad dream." She answered with a blunt tone, "Are we here?"

     "Yeah, that's why Rhys was trying to wake you up." Vaughn says as Rhys smiles a bit at her.

     "Do you wanna talk about it? We have plenty of time if you do, it's totally up to you." Rhys said softly and she shakes her head while standing.

     "No, I'm fine. Really." She tried to reassure with a forced smile, "Can I get a moment to myself for a few minutes, please?" She asked softly as they look at each other with worried faces and nodding.

     "Of course. We'll-We'll be out there checking the place out if you need us." Rhys says. (Y/n) continues to give them her small and forced smile while nodding.

     "Alright." She says softly, they exit the van and she sits there by herself. The forced smile disappearing into a sad grimace as she rubbed her face with a deep and shaky sigh. "Why couldn't our lives be normal like that...?" (Y/n) murmured to herself quietly as a few tear droplets slide down her cheek.
