Kate and Jason had been back together for a little over a month, and he was absolutely loving every single minute of it. Kate spent a lot of time over his apartment, she came over pretty much every night and slept in his bed with him. Jason still hadn't gotten used to sleeping alone, since he and Kate used to sleep in the same bed all the time on the island, and so it felt so amazing to have her back in his arms and sleeping in the same bed as he was. He'd been having problems sleeping before, and now he slept so well that he was pretty positive that being without Kate was the thing that messed with his sleeping pattern. But he didn't have to worry about that now, because it was all evened out again.
Christmas had been fast approaching, and Jason's mother had been bothering him about coming home for Christmas. Jason wasn't exactly happy about leaving Kate for Christmas, he wanted to have Christmas with her again since they had only gotten the chance to do it once before. So, he asked Kate if she would come to Seattle with him over her Christmas break. He was actually surprised when she agreed to go with him, but he didn't argue the thought, and he made arrangements for two plane tickets from Providence to Seattle, for them to arrive in Seattle around 1am. Jason had convinced his parents that they could go ahead and just go to bed, and he would be there in the morning when they woke up on Christmas Eve. With Kate. Both of his parents were extremely excited to meet this girl that Jason had traveled across the country for, and Jason had made them promise that they wouldn't embarrass him.
After grabbing the luggage at the baggage claim, Jason lead the way out of the airport and then hailed a taxi, shoving their suitcases into the trunk before climbing into the backseat with Kate. He grabbed her hand and held it between both of his, glancing out the window at the city he had grown up in and lived most of his life in. Running a hand through his hair, he turned to look at Kate. "Are you excited?" he asked, raising a brow. "Everyone'll be asleep by the time we get to the house, but you'll get to meet everyone tomorrow. And, just don't take anything my father says seriously," he chuckled, shaking his head. Jason loved his family, but he knew that his father was going to say something to make him cover his face and shake his head. He was almost 100% positive that one of the first questions out of his father's mouth would be about their love life.
