Fragments of the sky blinked slowly. Blue mingled with blue as bur ning oceans cascaded down North's face. Broken pieces of Tooth's words nestled into North's ears but slowly were slowly being blotted out by the blaring buzz in his right ear. Jack's scared. Abuse. Abuse. Death. Death. Father vanished. Fists. No new people. Father vanished. No hands. No trust. Scared. Screaming. Scratches. Crying. Jack's scared. The words blurred together and North could no longer comprehend. He swallowed and blinked sluggishly, not quite locating the right words to say. Tooth sniffed and her colorful violet eyes met watery oceans.

"You see North, I don't think adoption…"

Manny glided into the room with a fitful baby boy clinging to his hip desperately. North couldn't quite tear his gaze from Jack's eyes. They were completely shattered. Jack's eyes whispered the tale of his sadness and fear. Now North held his past and could change his future. Manny beamed warmly,

"So Mr. Clause do we have a deal?"

Expectant and apprehensive eyes were cast North's way. The burly man swallowed and diverted his gaze from to whimpering boy, "I…I vill take him."

North's eyes widened as mouth betrayed him, 'What did you say? What did you say? Take it back? Call it back! Say no!'

Tooth interrupted his panic by hissing, "Sir I don't…."

Manny hushed,

"Shh Tooth. The man has made a decision and we shall respect it. Now get Jack's things"

Tooth hesitantly fluttered out the room, casting nervous looks towards Jack. Manny sat Jack down and retrieved a pen and numerous pieces of documents.

"Here you are,"

Many cheerfully chirped,

"Sign these and dear Jack is yours. North sat on the icy and uncomfortable plastic chair he was ushered into and stared at the animated clock which laughed in his face. Twirling the pen which felt heavy in his quaking hands, North took long and even breaths to calm his racing heart. The words squirmed before his eyes and the tick of the clock became a nuisance. North took a deep breath. "In out, In out. Breathe. The pen touched the paper and the ink began to dance. The music of pages being flipped and pen scratching through the paper masked the tickity tock of the terrible clock. North's foot became more frantic as he neared the end of the document. Fragments of the moon gleamed each time North signed another signature.

I promise to protect this child and bring no harm to him/ her.

X Sign Here North Clause

I promise to be the best guardian of my ability

X Sign Here North Clause

And so the trade was made. Lifeless papers for a beating soul. Tooth few into the room with, a pair of ancient looking pants, a brown coat and a tan backpack with the name Pippa inscribed on the front pocket. Who is…or was Pippa? North questioned,

"Where is zee," he trailed off, "Where is zee rest?"

Manny and Tooth cast their eyes down and stayed silent. North's stomach dropped and he began to rummage through the empty back pack. Jack wailed. The burly man gasped and set the backpack down carefully. Jack continued to cry, making grabby motions for the bag. Manny picked the weeping baby up and held him for North to hold. Jack gave a high pitched scream and began to squirm. North backed away in horror; Manny smiled gently and positioned Jack into the others arms. North rocked back and forth and hummed the lullaby his wife used to sing until the boy softly sniffled. North smiled and asked gently, "What's your name." The baby sniffled and answered softly, " jack."

North beamed, "Beautiful name." Jack simply blinked and began to squirm out of North's embrace. The little boy cried, "i want mummy."

Blue mingled with blue as burning oceans cascaded down Jack's face. Jack was crying. Jack wanted to go home. Jack want his mommy….not his daddy. Daddy was very bad. Jack was scared.

North wanted to let the blue of his tears never mix with the pure blue of his fearful eyes.

He wanted his eyes to be of wonder.

Review? Crappy? Yeah Okay
