I don't own any Jak and Daxter characters, but if I did I'd be making a new game already!
CHAPTER 7
"So will you marry us?" Jak asked Seem as he stood in the temple
Seem shook her head "I really don't like marrying people who have had children out-of-wedlock" she said
"Well whose fault is that, Keira and I would have been married years ago if it wasn't for your precious precursors?" Jak snapped
Seem nodded her head before bowing it and closing her eyes, making some signs with her hands, Jak waited rather impatiently, after what felt like forever to Jak she opened her eyes and lifted her head "The Precursors say I shouldn't deny you anything, that it would be improper not to marry two soul mates...when do you want the ceremony?" she smiled
Jak smiled "Saturday" he stated
"Thats a little soon, only five days away" she looked up at Jak "Okay, I'll come to the palace tomorrow, I would like to see Keira and your son" she said
Jak nodded "Very well, thanks Seem" he grinned before running out the temple, jumping in the hopper and heading back to the city.
Keira sat in the throne room watching JJ playing at the edge of the water "Be carefull honey, them rocks may be slippery" she smiled as he beamed back at her, she looked around as the elevator arrived and Sig stepped off it, he smiled at JJ and went to sit with Keira "Hi Sig" she said cheerily
"Good news, I've found you a house, right by the beach, three bedrooms, small back garden, fully furnished" he smiled
Keira smiled at him "Thanks Sig that's great...how did you manage to find one so quick?"
Sig smiled "I had originally planned to give it Jak anyway, I knew he wouldn't want to settle in Haven and he deserves one of our best houses, he's our saviour after all...so would you like me to take you to see it or do you want to wait for Jak?" he asked
"Wait for Jak to do what?" Jak asked as he stepped off the elevator, pulling a dripping wet JJ out the water as he wandered over to Keira and Sig, he kissed Keira on the cheek and sat next to her "So whats going on other than drowning my son?" he asked as he chuckled at JJ jumping back into the water
"Sig's found us a house, near the beach...three bedrooms, garden...what do you think?" Keira smiled
Jak nodded "Thanks Sig, shall we go see it?" he asked
Sig nodded and got up, Keira followed "Shouldn't we dry JJ off before we go?" she asked
"The sun will dry him off, he'll be okay" Jak smiled "Come on JJ, time to see our new home" he called over to him holding his hand out for him, JJ ran to his father and held his hand happily swinging it as they walked.
Keira looked around the house she'd just been given, she had never seen so much technology, the T.V alone was new to her, she'd seen T.V's at school but no one in Sandover Village had one in their huts, JJ had never seen one and watched in amazement when Sig clicked it on and cartoons came on the screen, Sig laughed as he sat down with JJ "I love cartoon's, just don't let JJ become one of them kids that spends all day and night in front of the box"
"No chance, he's to much like his daddy for that, he'll be out causing trouble before you know it, and you'll wish he was sat in front of it" Keira laughed
Sig laughed "You two go explore, I'd start on the roof, fantastic view of the desert" he said turning back to the T.V with JJ.
Jak and Keira stood on top of their new house looking out to the desert "It's really beautiful Jak" Keira breathed as she wrapped her arms around him "So did you ask this monk man?" she asked
"Woman...I think, not really sure" Jak chuckled confused "...anyway yes I have, we can get married on Saturday" he smiled "And I can't wait"
"Me neither...I should get organized, I'll need a dress and I'll have to get you a ring, do you think Tess will help me, I don't know anyone else" Keira rushed
Jak smiled down at her "Relax, you can get everything you need in the market, and I'm sure Tess will help you...I'll have to get a suit and one for JJ"
Keira giggled "He'll look so handsome all dressed up, just like his daddy" she grinned
Jak laughed "Come on let's go look at the rest of the house, and then we can start getting it sorted"
"I'll have to find my father, tell him about the wedding" Keira was saying as Jak led her down the steps
Jak nodded "He went to Haven, he'll be in the forest, we'll take JJ, I wanted to show him the forest anyway"
"Will it be safe?" Keira asked
Jak nodded "Only dead town and sewers need sorting, there's no metal heads in the forest or in the city" he turned to look at her and wrapped himself around her "Hey, I will not let anything happen to you, either of you, I promise, okay?" he smiled, Keira nodded and smiled, Jak pressed a kiss to her lips and smiled before going to get JJ.
Jak and Keira walked into the Naughty Ottsel, Jak was carrying JJ, as he was falling asleep after spending an hour running riot in the forest, he went straight over to a booth and gently laid him down, pulling the curtain shut, he smiled down at him. He saw Tess jump up on the bar and went to sit with Keira at the bar "Will he be okay?" Jak asked
Tess nodded "Monday nights are dead, waste of time opening if you ask me" and as if on cue Torn and Jinx strolled in laughing loudly
Jak frowned "Sshhhh...JJ's asleep" he nodded towards the booth as Ashelin wandered in behind them
"Sorry Jak, Keira, they've just finished clearing out dead town and are feeling pretty proud of themselves" she smiled "Can I have a peek at him?" Ashelin asked
Keira nodded and got up "Just a peek" she smiled moving over to the curtain
"We want to see" Torn and Jinx declared following behind
Keira pulled the curtain back and they all peered down at him sleeping "There he is, Jak Junior" she smiled proudly
"My god he is like Jak" Ashelin stated
Keira nodded "Got his energy as well" she giggled "Tires me out"
"No denying who his father is, I could never claim to be his dad" Jinx smiled
Keira laughed "No you couldn't"
"Should you be laughing so loud" Torn frowned
Keira smiled "A bomb wouldn't wake him" she giggled closing the curtain and going back to Jak to sit on his lap
Jak smiled and curled his around her "So what do you think of our son?" he grinned
"He's gorgeous, so much like you" Ashelin beamed
Keira looked at her and blinked snuggling into Jak a little more and running her fingers through his hair, Jak noticed Keira tense and intertwined his fingers with her free ones, his thumb gently stroking her hand to calm her, she smiled at him and looked at the rest of them "So what you doing on Saturday?" she asked, they all shrugged and looked at them
Jak smiled as his finger tips stroked he hand "Well how would you like to attend a wedding at the Spargus Temple?" he asked
"Your finally gonna make an honest woman out of her...well done buddy, we'll all be there" Torn grinned
Tess jumped up and down excitedly "Oh Daxter will be so excited"
Jak frowned "Where is Dax anyway?" she asked
"Said he had some business with Brutter" she shrugged
Jak rolled his eyes "Should have known"
"Tess, could you help me, I don't really know my way around and I'm going to need a dress and flowers and all sorts of things actually?" Keira asked
Tess grinned "I'd love too" she beamed at Keira
Keira looked at Ashelin "Would you like to help aswell Ashelin?"
Ashelin's eyes lit up "I'll do all I can Keira but I am busy rebuilding the city...speaking of which I should get back to it, but if you need anything you just let me know, I'll be only too happy to help" she beamed before she left
Keira turned back to Jak "Who's Brutter anyway?" she asked
"Captain Brutter is a lurker who used to run a stall in the bizarre, he helped us fight the metal heads, and he still has connections, most of which are illegal and Daxter likes to borrow them from time to time, most of the time to get illegal booze" Jak explained
Keira giggled "Sounds about right"
Tess jumped on Keira's knee "Right enough about him, we need to get you sorted, I know a great little dress-maker, we could go now"
"Hang on Tess, we have to get JJ back, but we'll come tomorrow and get things started" Keira smiled
Tess nodded "Oh I have loads of idea's definitely green flowers" she jumped off Keira and down behind the bar grabbing a pad and rushing off.
Keira got off Jak's lap and he went and picked JJ up gently "See you guys later" they said quietly
Torn and Jinx watched in amazement at how gentle Jak was with his son and Keira "Wow" Jinx stated as the door shut behind them
Torn nodded "Who'd have thought all it took to calm that trigger happy punk down was a girl from the country?" he said
"Not only does she ease the pain in him, she calms his soul, the demons in him...and she may just be the hottest girl in town" Jinx grinned
"Got that right, no wonder Ashelin didn't stand a chance" Torn smirked
Jinx nudged him "Maybe you can get your end away again" he chuckled
"Maybe" Torn smiled.
"I can't wait" Keira happily rambled as she got changed for bed, Jak watched her smiling as she took her clothes off "I mean...it wasn't too long ago that I didn't know if you were ever going to come home, I mean I wished you would and I knew you was still alive because I could feel it in my heart...but look at us, in our own home, with a beautiful son, in a beautiful city preparing to get married...its just so exciting...I've been dreaming of this since that night on the beach when you told me you loved me" she beamed jumping on the bed
Jak reached for her and pulled her towards him "I've missed your rambling" he grinned
Keira knelt up next to Jak looking at him her hand stroked his muscular abdomen, she smiled "You certainly are sexy" she grinned
Jak sat up and placed a hand next to her on the bed, the other cupped her face "Keira, I love you, more than anything in the world..." he took a deep breath "...earlier when Ashelin said JJ was gorgeous just like me, you tensed up and moved closer into me...do you feel threatened by her?" he asked
Keira shrugged and snuggled her cheek further into his hand "She's just everything I'm not, she's gorgeous, in a slutty kinda way but still, and clever and she's in charge of a whole freaking city, she has all the power in her hands...I wouldn't blame you if you had thought of it...I mean you're a warrior, she's a warrior..."
Jak smiled "If I wanted a warrior I wouldn't have fallen for you would I?"
"But were just so different, I can see the similarities between you" Keira said
Jak shook his head "So, maybe were perfect for each other because we are different, and we do have some things in common"
"Like what, I'm not a warrior, a saviour?" she said
Jak shook his head "No but I'm damn sure you could be if you wanted to...Keira I love you, your beautiful, and smart and loyal and honest and talented, a fantastic mother, an amazing lover...you have one hell of a temper on you and your difficult and stubborn..." he chuckled "...you are everything that she isn't and I love you for all them things, even when your being difficult and stubborn...and you have the one thing that she will never have...you have my heart and while I was in that prison or on some dangerous mission somewhere, I knew I would be alright as long as you had it, as long as you still loved it" Jak smiled
"I love you Jak" Keira smiled so sweetly Jak thought his heart might melt "I love you so much, and if I was and am looking after your heart, then you are looking after mine, I gave you my heart Jak, that's all I can give" she said as tears fell out her eyes
Jak wiped her face "You've given me so much more than just your heart, you've given me a son, and a wonderful life, you have made my life worthwhile" he whispered before he kissed her with such love, their hearts and souls meeting and becoming one.
