Chapter Text
After a loud clap of thunder, the living room TV abruptly goes black, interrupting Jake’s weekly Die Hard viewing.
He groans loudly, his head falling back against the couch in exasperation.
Perfect. He was having an amazing day off, thank you very much, until this stupid thunderstorm had to go and ruin it.
Jake’s moping is cut short when he hears the front door jiggle, then open.
Instantly, he brightens, because even watching the greatest movie of all time falls short to a night in cuddling with his wife.
“Hey, babe!” he calls, but when he turns to look at her, his heart seizes.
Amy is absolutely drenched, dripping water onto the floor of their apartment. Her entire body’s trembling, and even from the couch, Jake can tell her lips are blue.
Instantly, he launches himself towards her. He should probably go get a towel or change of clothes, but right now, all he can think to do is throw his arms around her.
Her skin is cold as ice, and he flinches when she burrows her face into the warmth of his neck, but he tightens his grip on her.
“M-My umbrella got blown away a-and it was just pouring s-so hard,” Amy begins, her voice barely a whisper. Her teeth are chattering so much she’s struggling to form words.
“You’re home now,” Jake soothes quietly, planting a kiss on her forehead. “Let’s get you warmed up.”
He takes her hand and leads her to their room, and he makes good on his promise to warm her up - in more ways than one.
