Sorry I haven't updated in a while. A long while. I've just been very busy with school, as I am now in year 12, and family and assignments and it's all been very hectic. Plus I have had no inspiration what's so ever until now. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Jak and Daxter Trilogy. It belongs to Naughty Dog.

Forever a Family

Just as he was about to unclasp my bra the door to my room flew open and Daxter ran in screaming trying to get away from Mikaela who had tears running down her face. Must have been from a nightmare.

I grabbed my shirt from the floor and quickly put it on and knelt down beside Mikaela to see what was wrong. Jak did the same and knelt down on the other side of her.

"What's wrong baby? Did you have another bad dream?" I asked her

Mikaela stood there with tears in her beautiful blue eyes and nodded, still crying.

She turned to Jak and clung onto him and started to sob more. He wound his arms around her, picked her up and started to rock her in his arms while humming a soft tune.

"What's wrong with her?" Daxter asked. I had honestly forgotten he was there. And wasn't the door locked as well?

"She's fine; she just has nightmares from time to time." I told Daxter.

I turned to Jak and asked "Wasn't the door locked?"

He just smiled and replied with, "I went out to get a drink while waiting for you and I guess I forgot to lock the door."

I just nodded and told him I'd be right back.

I went out into the kitchen and as I passed Coal's room, Coal and Teresa came out.

"Mikaela had another…" Coal started, "Bad dream didn't she?" Teresa finished

I smiled down at my two eldest children and nodded.

"She's in with daddy and Uncle Daxter, why don't you go in there as well, and I'll be right back with a bottle for Mikaela." I told them, they nodded and went into my room.

I came back a couple minutes later with a warm bottle of milk for Mikaela to calm her down with. I handed the bottle to Mikaela and she took it without a question and started to drink and calm down.

When she had finished and handed the bottle to me I petted her back and asked her if she wanted to talk about it, if she didn't talk about it now she would tell us tomorrow.

She shook her head no and just snuggled back into Jak's chest. I just smiled at the scene and looked back to Coal and Teresa.

"Do you two want to sleep with mummy, daddy and Mikaela tonight?" I asked them, since whenever Mikaela has a nightmare she would always sleep with me and it didn't look like she was going to let go of Jak anytime soon.

They smiled up at me and nodded. I had a queen sized bed so we would all fit.

I got in on the left side while Teresa and Coal got in the middle with Jak climbing in last with Mikaela. It was a bit snug but we all fit.

The next day just after lunch all three of the kids were having their naps and Daxter had run off somewhere for some reason or another. Jak was sitting on the couch with me lying in his lap.

"Jak, during the last two years… what happened to you, you look so different?" I asked him a bit hesitantly.

He looked over to the wall were I had a picture of me and the kids that was taken last year. He hesitated before answering.

"When Daxter and I came out of the rift I was instantly arrested by Erol and the Krimson Guard. Daxter managed to escape but I was taken to the prison. They pumped me full of Dark Eco… and it did something to me, now I turn into a- a- a demon of sorts and I gained a few anger issues as well during the process."

What Jak had just told me was not what I was expecting. I leaned up and kissed him. To show him that it didn't matter who he was now, so long as he still loved me and the kids and treated us right.

"Also Keira, Daxter and I… we found your father… well, sort of. He's been working with the underground fighting the Baron. But he's ahh…" Jak finished off

"What?" I asked him gently.

"You need to go see him. And I need to get to the Baron."

"You could try to win the Class One Racing Championship. The winner of that big race always gets to meet the Baron in the Palace. But you have to qualify by winning the lower class races. There's a Class Three race starting this afternoon. You could drive for my team. But Jak, we should really think about getting out of here. I don't like this place and I can't even let the kids out to play. And some of the people are creepy." I told him. He seemed to really contemplate this.

"Yeah, as soon as I've won the Class One Championship we can look for a way out. I don't want our kids growing up anymore then they have to here. It's not safe."

I nodded and snuggled back into his chest, closed my eyes for a moment and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FAF~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up it was about 2 in the afternoon. Just when the kids should be getting up from their nap. I looked up at Jak to see him asleep as well. I smiled at how cute and innocent he looked.

Just then I heard the patter of three sets of little feet. I looked over to the hallway and saw Coal, Teresa and Mikaela standing there. I suddenly had a great idea. I slowly motioned for them to come and jump on us. I knew I was in the way but Jak was always a light sleeper, so if I moved too much I knew I would wake him.

Coal and Teresa got the idea and ran at us, jumped and landed right on Jak's side, somehow avoiding me altogether. Jak woke up with a start looking around for any trouble with a look in his eyes I had never seen before. When he saw me in his arms and the twins on top of him he calmed down and wound his arms around all of us.

Mikaela ran at us as well but wasn't able to jump onto Jak as her siblings somehow managed, and she landed right on top of me. I smiled down at my baby girl and felt Jak relax even more. I bet knowing his family was safe in his arms for once helped him.

Just then my communicator came on and answered a call from one of my drivers. It was Jason. (Completely made up character. Not going to go into who he is. Was going to use jinx but he doesn't come into the Jak games until later)

"Keira, the race is gonna start in half an hour. Are you coming or what? These are your racers we're driving after all."

I had completely forgotten about the race in this perfect family moment.

I nodded to Jason and replied with a 'yeah, I'll be there soon.' and hung up.

Jak looked down at me and gestured to the kids.

"They come with me to races. They love it, especially Coal." I said with a smile in my voice.

"Alright kids, race time." I said and they all got up and got off of Jak and myself when I mentioned the races. As I said to Jak, the kids loved the races.

Jak and I got off the couch as the kids ran to the door to the apartment to get their shoes on. We followed at our own pace and helped them with their laces and coats.

When we opened the door Daxter was there about to knock.

"C'mon Dax. We're going racing." Jas said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FAF~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the race Jak, Daxter, the kids and I were in the garage. Jak had walked straight up to me and was giving me a victory kiss. Or was I the one giving him the victory kiss.

"When is this city gonna provide some challenge, huh?" Daxter said in an 'I'm so bad ass' kinda voice, when he technically did nothing.

Just then someone walked into the garage.

"Hey, I watched you race. You were pretty amazing out there." It was Ashelin Praxis, the Barons daughter.

"Oh, thanks… ah, Keira, ah this is Ashelin. She's just…" Jak started but was stumbling over his words.

"Everyone knows who she is." I said, not liking the fact that Jak knew Ashelin.

"And Keira's…" still stumbling

"His girlfriend." I said

Picking up on my attitude Teresa and coal exclaimed together. "He's our Daddy!"

I smiled down at them and picked up Mikaela.

Ashelin looked a bit taken aback at that exclamation, but seemed to accept it none the less.

"I wanted to thank you Jak, for helping out with that tanker. You saved a lot of lives." Ashelin said. She started to walk away but stopped at the door.

"I'm not my father, you know. Ever since I was a little girl, I've looked down at the city streets from that ridiculous Palace, and imagined a better place. By the way, they're hunting for you. I'd watch out for Erol. I can't protect you from him." The last part she said harshly and then stormed out.

I looked up at Jak concerned about our family. If the Krimson Guard were searching for him. What would happen to the kids? What would happen to our family?

"Hey, don't worry Keira. Everything will be alright." Daxter said from on top of the car he was perched on.

I smiled up at him and nodded my head. I sure hope he was right, but I had this really bad feeling that something bad was going to happen. The question was. When.

This chapter is finished. I hope you all can wait, no matter how long this takes considering how long it takes for me to update at times, but I have a surprise for you guys in my next chapter. HEHEHE. And as Christmas is coming up in a few weeks. Merry Christmas Everyone.
