The boys enjoyed the days they had together as Jamie became colder and colder. However, today when Jamie was going to get his breakfast his mother saw him and nearly fainted.
When he looked over at her to see what was wrong she had a look on her face like she had saw a ghost.
"Jamie, sweetie you're not dead are you?" she called out.
"Not that I know of, why?"
"You're as white as a sheet and see through"
"Oh, I'm hungry so I'll tell you after my breakfast"
With every spoonful of cornflakes his mother stared even more at her child, making him more nervous until he finally finished looking like a translucent tomato.
"Mam, there is a lot I need to tell you before well this gets any 'worse'" he said using his fingers to add sarcasm to the 'worse' because to him it was one of the best things in the world.
"Okay, is it bad?"
"No, just pretty crazy. But you have to believe me or I don't think you'll be able to see me"
"Oh"
"You see, I'm going out with someone. Not like a girl or boy who I could go to the cinema with or any other normal things. I am going out with," and with a deep breath, "Jack Frost"
"What a nice name"
"Erm, I mean the Jack Frost who nips at your nose and makes it snow"
"Oh, are you sure you're okay?"
Jamie sighed knowing how difficult it was for his mother a full grown adult to not understand that her child was pretty much a part of Jack Frost through something like marriage but stronger is some strange strange way. He showed her the ring on his finger.
Then floated right in front of her and willed with his hand and trying his best to copy what he had saw Jack do to create a snowball. He felt it work in his hands and a small one appeared.
He dropped to the ground and she felt it. It was cold and definitely snow.
"I understand. So that time when you were little?"
"Real as we are"
"Hey Jamie, how's it going?" Jack called opening the door of the room to check on Jamie, the mother hearing and turning.
"You're that boy from the other day?"
"Erm, 'that boy' is Jack Frost"
His mother just turned to Jamie who let out a little pink expression on his cheeks. She pulled Jamie in and whispered, "Jamie, you have picked such a stunner"
"What?" He called,
"Jamie was just telling me something about you," his mother spoke calmly and without worry,
"Oh, are you okay with it?"
"If I'm not, I doubt there is anything I could do about it so I have to be"
"Aha, sorry about that," Jack spoke shly putting his arm behind his back,
"Wait there" she called running upstairs while Jamie tried endlessly to stop being embarrassed knowing exactly what she was going to get.
In about a minute, the now lively figure had returned with a small silver contraption which Jamie recognised too well. A camera.
"We need a family photo! Come on Jack, you're part of it now!" she fussed.
The two held each other's shoulder and her mother took one of the best photos she could. When she showed them, both were pleased and she promised that the two would each get a copy when she went shopping.
She looked closely and noticed her son and Jack were no longer see through but still very pale. "Why are you not see through any more?"
Jack decided to butt in and spoke, "To see us, you need to believe in us. Otherwise, it's like we're not even here. Jamie is part of me as you would call Jack Frost and always will be".
The day went fine as his mother had quite a few jobs to do with paperwork. She had to get him out of school because it would be very awkward sending your child back in the state people would think.
The pair left for The North Pole to see get everyone to understand what was going on. It took a little while for them to get there, but they didn't mind.
When they walked in all of the guardians were still there. Tooth found them first and ran up to Jamie,
"Are you okay Jamie, you're pale as well Jack?"
"Erm, I am okay. In fact, I'm fantastic"
Tooth just had a look of complete utter confusion on her face trying to get her head around what the child just said. Jack and Jamie just burst out laughing.
"Go get everyone else, I don't want to say this a million times," Jack said after recovering.
Everyone gathered round and listened to the tale of what happened that night when the pair had spoke to Man in the Moon and that Jamie wouldn't be growing up.
"Well then Jamie, it'll be nice to see you for very long time!" North bellowed as the pair decided they should be getting back home to decide on a place where they could actually live.
And with that the pair lived a very happy time. Well, if you believe and are lucky enough you might just catch a glimpse of them.
Although it was hard for Jamie because everyone he knew got older and old around him, it was fate that he had to accept. His mother had become a teacher where she could tell tales her son would write and send to the children. Dave found a special someone he could settle down with and always remembered to let the pair drop in whenever they needed a chat.
It was funny the photo because they hadn't changed much being frozen yet alive but it was nice memories. It was a case of true love
