I don't own any Jak and Daxter characters.
Hello again everyone, sorry this sequel to Let me go home has taken a while but I had the ideas but just couldn't get them outta my head. Anyway here goes the sequel to Let Me Go been three years since Jak went back to Sandover and were reunited with Keira, they've now been married three years JJ is six and their daughter Isabelle who was born eight months after their wedding day is three.
CHAPTER 1.
Jak was sat at the kitchen table on a bright, sunny morning, the sunlight streaming in through the window warmed his face as he sipped his coffee, a gentle breeze blew in through the open back door. He chuckled slightly as he listened to the morning conversation he could hear coming from his wife and daughter.
Jak smiled thinking of his daughter, Isabelle was his pride and joy, sure he loved his son with all his heart but he'd missed out on his birth, hadn't been there to watch him growing inside his mother, he hated that, sure they had a fantastic bond, Jak had felt it the minute they'd met but feeling that first kick of his daughter, seeing her being born, watching her take her first steps and crying when her first word was Dadda, that was something special, something that could never be replaced, and how he wished he'd been there to see JJ do all them things.
Jak closed his eyes and listened, remembering the day his little angel was born.
FLASH BACK.
"Jak...Jak!" Keira yelled running into the throne room of Spargus Palace.
Jak looked up from the papers scattered across a huge conference table, Sig sat at the head of it "Keira, whats the matter?" Jak asked urgently standing up and rushing towards her.
Keira panted "I...I...think the baby's...coming" she screwed up her eyes and held her belly as another contraction shot through her.
Jak shook his head "But its too soon...are you sure?" he asked looking down at her.
"I have done this before Jak, my waters broke and now I'm having contractions" Keira stated bluntly.
Jak nodded and led her over to the table to sit down "Right..." he looked around "Where's JJ?"
"My father...has...him" Keira answered panting
Jak looked over to Sig "Can we get her to the hospital?" he asked
Sig grinned "No need...we have a wing right here in the palace, you know that Jak...its only right a Mar should be born in the palace"
Jak looked back down at Keira "Can you walk or do you need me to carry you?" he asked
"How far is it?" Keira asked looking at Sig
Sig nodded for one of his guards "Two minutes in the Kings elevator...I'll call ahead"
Jak smiled and helped Keira up as she panted "Thanks Sig...come on babe, I can't wait for this".
An hour later Keira screwed up her eyes and screamed as another contraction shot through her body "Its okay babe, just a little longer" Jak reassured
Keira slumped back and tried to catch her breath "I...I don't remember it hurting this much" she whimpered
The mid wife looked up from in between Keira's legs and chuckled "Thats very common Keira, now one more big push"
Keira gripped Jaks hand and squeezed her eyes shut leaning forward she pushed hard, screams echoed around the room, she slumped back, panting just as a loud cry pierced the air.
"Well done Keira, you have a beautiful baby girl...we'll just clean her up and get her checked and then she's all yours" the mid wife said passing the tiny baby to a waiting nurse.
Jak watched nervously as the baby was whisked away, he looked down at Keira "Is she okay?" he asked
Keira looked up tiredly at him and smiled weakly "There just checking her Jak she'll be fine"
Jak sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped an arm around her "You look shattered, maybe I can help" he smiled closing his eyes and letting the warm glow of Light Eco pass through him and into Keira, she smiled and snuggled further into him, he let the eco die away and looked down at her "Better?" he asked
"Much, thank you Jak" she breathed leaning up and kissing him.
Jak pulled away and watched as the nurse brought his daughter to him "Here she is, mummy first?" she asked
Keira pulled away from Jak and held her arms out for her daughter "Oh Jak she's perfect, she's so beautiful...look" she said as sparks of dark eco began to crackle over her skin only to be cooled by light eco spreading through her body "Is that...?" she asked
Jak smiled and nodded "The eco in her, she's perfect just like her mummy...can I hold her?" he asked
She passed the baby to Jak and smiled as he looked down at his daughter tears in his eyes "Hello my angel, I'm your daddy and I'm going to love you more than anyone in the world" he cooed "What shall we name her?" he asked not taking his eyes off his daughter.
"I dunno, what about Isabelle?" she asked
Jak smiled "Bell, I love it...should I go get JJ?" he as asked
Keira nodded "Yeah, and daddy"
He kissed his daughter on the forehead "I won't be long Isabelle" he passed her back to Keira and kissed her gently on the lips "I love you " he whispered.
Keira smiled "I love you too husband, we love you".
END FLASH BACK.
Jak was snapped out of his day-dream by someone pulling on his shirt, he opened his eyes and looked around to find two beautiful green eyes looking up at him, a thumb in her mouth and one shoe in her hand "What you doing daddy?" she asked
"Well my little angel..." Jak smiled looking down at Isabelle, he bent to lift her on to his knee "I was just thinking about when you was born"
Isabelle looked up at Jak and smiled "And JJ?" she asked
Jak looked away sadly "Well Bell, I couldn't be there when JJ was born, but I still love him and you more than anything in the world" he looked at her again and smiled.
Isabelle nodded and lifted her shoe up "Will you put my shoe on?" she asked, Jak chuckled and placed her on the table in front of him, taking the shoe off her and starting to put it on "And Mama, daddy?" she asked
"And Mama what?" Jak asked looking up at her.
She giggled "You love Mama too?" she asked.
Jak grinned and looked around as JJ ran in with Keira behind him "Especially Mama, after all she gave me you and JJ didn't she, I couldn't live without her".
Keira smiled and lifted Isabelle off the table allowing Jak to give her a gentle kiss on her forehead before she put her on the floor "Go play with JJ in the back garden before you go to school" Keira ordered before sitting on Jaks lap, she turned to him "What was all that about?" she asked him.
"I was just telling our beautiful daughter how much I love her mama" Jak grinned
She smiled and stroked his face "Is that so, well her daddy might get lucky when I've taken them to school"
"I'll take them, I'm quicker than you" Jak smirked
Keira got up allowing Jak to get up "Oh right Mr. Hero and what makes you think that?" she asked placing her hands on her hips and cocking one slightly.
Jak reached for her and pulled her towards him "Well I can fly for a start, and I don't stand around the market gossiping for ages..." he kissed her nose "And I love it when you do that with your hips" he breathed before crashing his lips into hers for a deep passion filled kiss.
Keira sat at the side of the Oasis, her face turned up towards the warm sun, her pumps next to her as the warm water caressed her feet. She smiled as she heard the roar of an engine approach and screech to a halt.
Hearing foot steps running up to her she opened her eyes "Are you following me?" she asked
Jak chuckled and plopped down next to her wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close "What are you doing out here on your own, you know how dangerous it can be?" he asked
"I was just thinking..." she turned to Jak "Do you miss Sandover, the peace and calm of it?" she asked
Jak nodded "I used to when you was there and I was here stuck fighting wars...but I'm happy as long as your with me" he smiled "Why do you?" he asked.
"Sometimes, but I don't miss being there without you" she smiled "I wonder if JJ misses it he never mentions it" she said leaning closer into Jak.
Jak smiled "Maybe...I was thinking earlier about when Bell was born, about how different things would have been if I'd been around when you was pregnant with JJ"
Keira looked up at Jak and gently stroked his face "Hey, JJ understands why you was around, and you two have an amazing bond"
"I know but the feelings of love and pride I had when Bell was born, when she started talking and walking, I just can't help thinking I let JJ down by not being there when he started doing them things" Jak said sadly
Keira nodded "Y'know JJ's first word was dadda too" Jak's eyes widened, Keira smiled and nodded "Yup, he was in his cot having just woken up from his afternoon nap and I was just tidying around his room chatting to him while he gurgled happily away and then all of a sudden he pulled himself up on the bars pointed to a picture of you on his dresser and said dadda"
"Wow really, you've never told me that before" Jak said tears lining his eyes
Keira smiled "I started crying and had to call Rosa to come take him for a while, it was the most amazing and yet the saddest moment all at the same time...so you see Jak, even though you couldn't be with him in person, you was always in his heart, he always knew you"
Jak cupped Keiras face and kissed her "I love you" he whispered
"You better Jak Mar because I don't wanna be a single mother to two children before I'm twenty one" she giggled
Jak looked at her seriously "Never ever going to happen, never...now lets go get our daughter from pre-school".
