Hey everyone! So I figured it was time for another update on this. Hope you all enjoy!
"Hey Dad," Jay said nervously as he walked into his dad's room, "how have you been?"
Ed stared at Jay with a blank expression on his face, "who are you again?"
"I'm your son, Jay," Jay trembled trying to hold back tears. Every time he came here it was the same thing. It hurt so bad.
What if he were dead already? You'd be heartbroken. You'd be out of this pain.
Jay tried to shake that thought from his head but it just kept coming.
"My son's name is Jay. He's a ninja," Ed mumbled, "but who are you?"
"I am Jay,Dad!" Jay clenched his teeth together.
"That's my son. Jay's my son. I love him and I'm proud of him."
Jay burst into tears. He was glad he had decided not to bring Nya and Isabelle. He needed this time. Alone.
"Yes. And you're my dad, and I love you too."
Edna pulled out a step stool to get to the top bookshelf while dusting. If only Ed were there. He could reach the top.
Words could not explain how much Edna wished he were there. The silent house was her least favorite place to be.
She often would go over and help Nya clean and take care of Isabelle, but since Isabelle started preschool a month before, things were just lonely.
Edna stepped on the wobbly stool and reached up for the top shelf. That's when the whole thing clapsed underneath her.
Nya had been standing up to get a glass of water when the contractions started coming again.
Call Jay.
Nya frantically searched for her phone. Where had she last set it? At last she found it on the dining room table.
Her hands shook as she pressed the button for Jay's contact.
"Hey Nya. I'm still at the care home. I'll be home in a little bit. What's going on?" Jay said with the sound of choked up tears in his voice.
"We need to get to the hospital now!" Nya said in pain and lurched into the counter.
"I'll be home as soon as I can!"
"Sorry Dad, I've got to go," Jay fumbled with his phone in his pocket, "love ya. Bye!" Jay pulled Ed into a quick hug before rushing out the door unaware he had a follower.
"Isabelle, get your shoes on. Daddy will be home soon and then we need to head out, okay?"
"Are you okay, Mommy?" Isabelle tilted her head curiously to the side.
Nya nodded her head, "Yes, I just need to sit down.
Isabelle hurried to the mud room on to find Nya wasn't behind her.
"Mommy? What's going on? I'm scared!"
Nya closed her eyes slowly a couple times, "it's going to be fine. Tell Jesus you're scared and he'll help you," Nya said trying her best to remain calm for Isabelle's sake.
Edna trembled trying to get a hold of Jay. Nya. Somebody she knew, but nobody picked up their phone.
As a last resort she punched in the numbers for the ambulance before passing out again.
Jay sighed as rain started to fall and the roads became slippery.
Why now? I need to get home!
Jay pressed a button on his phone, "call Nya." He yelled frustrating.
The phone rang and rang until it turned to voice mail.
God, please let Nya be alright.
Ed continued walking along the street not bothered much by the rain. He hadn't finished his conversation with Jay and had every intention to do so.
What were they talking about again?
That's when a semi truck slammed on his break and horns and the world went black.
"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!" Isabelle shouted. She pried Nya's eyelids open only for them to slam shut again.
She's just messing with you.
Isabelle tried to remain calm, but somehow she knew something was really, really wrong.
"Mommy wake up!" Isabelle sobbed.
Jay jerked to a stop at the last second to see at least a dozen cars piled upon each other. He knew he wasn't getting home anytime soon.
Reaching for his phone again he called Nya again.
Isabelle was wiping away tears when Nya's phone began to buzz and a picture of Jay showed up on the screen. Doing what she had seen Nya and Jay do, she pushed the green button and brought the phone to her ear.
"Daddy! Help! Mommy won't wake up, and I'm scared!" Isabelle screamed.
Jay gasped. What had happened since he had last called Nya?
"Okay," Jay trembled, "Go to the dial section on Mommy's phone and press 9-1-1. Say your Mommy needs an ambulance and they'll help you okay?"
"Okay Daddy. I love you."
"I love you too Isabelle. Be strong."
That's where I have to end. I love writing cliffies. I'll try to update sometime this week, but as usual I make no promises.
Quite and A time.
Have you seen any of the new ninjago episodes yet? If so what ones?
Should I make this series canon with some things that happen to Jay in the current season? (I am trying not to spoil anything!)
What do you think happens to Ed and Edna?
What about Nya?
I'm extremely excited to write the next chapter. Until then, see ya!
