Vacation (2) Finale
May 2 Somewhere in Europe
Jax was walking a blindfolded Hope up a flight of stairs it was her birthday and he had gone all out today, taking her to The Louvre seeing the multiple famous paintings there which she almost cried seeing. After spending the whole day and that is not a exaggeration he let her spend the whole day there and she enjoyed it not leaving until closing time before hugging him and thanking him repeatedly. Now it was almost eleven o'clock and Jax had set up a delicious meal for her he made honey garlic lobster tails with white wine sauce, he planned ahead so he went and bought some fresh ones before she got up this morning. On the roof was a table set for two that was candle lit, the plates had lids covering them so nothing would get on them leading her to her chair Jax set the mood putting on some soft music before joining her pulling the lid away he watched her gulp at the enticing aroma.
"So it's not much but I thought this would be a great ending for our last day in Paris, France before we set off." Jax said hoping she liked what he had did if they looked over they could see the city lights looking like twinkling stars making the mood more ambiguous but they were to consumed looking at each other.
Hope couldn't answer him in all her life she has had a great family (if not a little crazy) but nobody had gone to the lengths he had today to make her have a great birthday, when she thought about everything that happen she couldn't help but have tears omg her eyes.

Earlier In The Day*
When they were walking around The Louvre they had come across The Raft Of Medusa, and she was explaining everything to Jax about the background of the painting, ".....Generally regarded as an icon of Romanticism..... Jax are you listening to me?" Hope asked looking back at him who wasn't even looking at the painting but was staring at her with a small smile, "What is it?" She asked.
"Nothing just enjoying the museum with you." He said smiling at her still.
Hope knew he didn't really have any interest in being here but he was doing it all for her and he was listening to everything she said despite not knowing what more than half of it meant. Throwing her arms around him she rested her head on his chest her birthday had just started but it was the best she had so far, when he said they were going on a trip she didn't expect that they would do so many fun things but after finding out that he was basically rich she just accepted everything he threw at her. They had just got to Paris yesterday and he said they weren't leaving until she got to do anything and everything she wanted here so she nodded agreeing, but the first day he didn't even let her leave the hotel room they just enjoyed each other. Then today he brought her here and she didn't expect it but just burst into tears and hugged him thanking him repeatedly when he showed her he actually had tickets for today.
"Alright back to art!" She said dragging him along to the next painting.

Present*
Hope leaned across the table for a kiss which he happily gave her, moving away they lost themselves into the night air and meal just enjoying each other's company Hope had a everlasting smile on her face which was all Jax ever wanted. When they were finished eating Jax brought out a cheese cake he made the day before it was her favorite so he wasn't going to give her anything but what she liked on her birthday, "Happy Birthday!" Jax said softly kissing her cheek watching her blow out the candles he set on there. Her mom and family had called earlier but it was only a quick talk before she went back to spending the rest of the day with Jax, when they asked her to come home for her birthday Jax disconnected the call and turned off her phone so he could have her to himself.
When they were completely done with dinner Jax gave her his present which had been burning a hole in his pocket since he bought it a couple weeks ago, oh don't misunderstand him it wasn't a ring. Pulling out a black case Jax told her to open it and when she did she couldn't help but gasp at the beautiful bracelet that he got her it had four different charms on it one was a wolfs head that was howling. The second was a pair of fangs that were ruby, the third was in the shape of a slice of cake that had a little rose on it, and finally was a small paint brush, the bracelet was stainless steel that was flashing under the city lights making it glow.
It might look just like any old charm bracelet but Hope held on to it like it was worth everything in the world to her which put a huge grin on Jax face, the two spent the rest of the night under the stars on a blanket that Jax put out for them.

June 30th
They left Europe two days ago after doing almost everything they could find even spending multiple days going to a dive bar in Ireland where Hope kept dancing along to the music while Jax spent time watching her and hustling in pool. After that they spent a lot of time in Spain going through villas and spending time in Ibiza hanging on the beach and using fake id's that Jax got them to drink which brought on a lot of fun but trouble to when men tried to get close to Hope and Jax got into a couple of fights. It did have its upside though since Hope graciously gave him a reward for 'protecting her' since she could do the same but she loved seeing his alpha dominance on other people.
Two weeks ago they were in Greece where they spent the night in Mount Parnassus and for the first time released their wolf forms running through the trees playing together, because it was so late they even slept their waking up naked since they didn't control their form while asleep. Hope was beautiful as a wolf with a shiny white coat she had glowing pink eyes that made her look even more beautiful but what changed was that instead of the about three foot height in the show she was five foot in this form. Jax was about the same standing a little taller than her but with black and gray coat his red eyes making him look like the most badass wolf ever to exist in this world.
But today when they were about to leave to go home on their walk they ran into another pair of wolfs, they were in human form but they could smell it on each other making stop and stare. Hope didn't say anything and neither did Jax it was because these to were Omegas and they were frightened by the presence that the two were putting off so instead of engaging each other they all went their separate ways it wasn't a big event but it was the first they ran into in their entire journey so they were curious.

August 25*
The rest of their vacation was spent touring the U.S but Jax promised her to visit South America by next year which made her really happy, it was still the best thing ever for him. What surprised him though was one day when they were packing getting ready to move to Beacon Hills, "Argh I'm so nervous!" Hope said moving from foot to foot.
"About what?" Jax asked it was the first time he had seen her nervous in months the last time is when they had sex for the first time.
"Well I didn't get to meet your brother that day since he was gone what if he doesn't like me?" She said on a cute whine.
Jax couldn't help himself before bursting out laughing which only made her hit his chest over and over again, holding her hands he brought her into his embrace "There is no way that can be true considering you are so amazing everyone who knows you loves you."
That was the only reassurance she needed before sagging into his embrace rubbing her head in his chest happy to be near him, over these last months they basically we're inseparable only apart long enough when Jax took off to see Malia of course Hope didn't know that though. After they finished packing they both held hands and were inside the McCall house in seconds, since it was around 3 am Everyone was asleep so not bothering them they went to bed too.
