local food-mart and go through what seems to be the whole store before they leave. Jackson manages to curtail most of her outrageous purchases and they leave the store a few hours later with only food and utensils.
Though he does have fun shopping with her and hearing her long speech on why organic food will save humanity, at least until the aliens come back.
At home, he helps her unload the bags and offers to help with dinner but she firmly refuses and orders him to relax and watch TV. He does turn on the TV but his attention remains fixed on her.
She looks beautiful, fully entranced in cooking she does everything with the out most care. Seeing her cook makes him realize he wants this: wants to marry her, have kids with her, grow old with her. These past few days have been only a taste of what is to come for them. If it wouldn't freak her out, he'd get on one knee and beg her to marry him tomorrow.
He is starving by time Sadie calls him to dinner. He helps set the table and bring the food over to the small dinner table. Jackson digs in and almost spits the food out. He bravely controls his expression and catches her watching him nervously.
“ You didn't like it?” she asks.
He feels like a bastard for not liking the food she put so much effort into.
“ It's okay,” he says.
Hoping to reassure her, he takes a few more bites as she watches him.
Sighing she stands and reaches for his plate, “It's horrible, we can order pizza,” she says.
He agrees after she insists. Then he helps her clean up while she orders the pizza.
The pizza arrives forty minutes later. They settle on the couch to watch a movie and eat the delicious pizza. Sadie curls up beside him after she eats her own pizza and passes out. He spends the remainder of the movie watching her.
A short time after, he starts feeling funny, mostly his stomach is viciously growling and twisting.
Gently he pulls away from the snoring Sadie and rushes to the bathroom.
Chapter Twenty-One
Sadie wakes up and finds herself on the couch. She must have fallen asleep after eating.
Pizza, her favorite food always had that effect on her. Sydney insisted that it wasn't so much the food, as the quantity, but it was just one large pizza.
Yawning, she gets off the couch and goes to the bedroom. She changes into PJ's because she doesn't plan to leave the cabin for at least a day. When she tries the bathroom, she finds it locked.
“ Jackson, you in there?” she asks tentatively.
He doesn't answer, but a few seconds later she hears him moan. Great, at least he's alive. The only time she has cooked on purpose, in a good five years and nothing has changed.
The last time, she'd landed Sydney and Mathew in the E.R.. After giving them such awful food poisoning, she thought they would wash their hands of her, but they hadn't held it against her. But both of them had sat her down and made her promise to never, ever, ever cook for them again.
Surprisingly, she'd loved cooking for Jackson. She had forgotten her plan and tried to make it edible, but she really seems to be cursed.
“ Are you okay?” she asks.
Again, he only moans. Oh my god, he might be dying in there!
“ I'm getting the key!” she yells at him.
She rushes to get the keys.
After all the assassination attempts she can't lose him to diarrhea!
She starts opening the door when he yells a bit frantically, “No, I'm okay.”
“ Really?” he doesn't sound okay, “I've got the pink miracle liquid in my purse!”
“ Go away, and promise to never talk about this again,” he says.
“ Do you want me to bring you something to eat?” she asks.
“ No!” he yells quickly, then he moans again.
Sadie is an awful, awful person.

Jackson makes it to the next morning, barely. He instinctively knows that he's been closer to death after eating Sadie's food, than he'd ever been while on active duty. Thankfully, he is great at conveniently
