In honor of this most likely being the last chapter its extra long. So I have a question for you guys, Should I do a sequel, it wouldn't be anything too action packed, and probably half as long. It would probably just be about their life with the new child. PM me or write it in a review. Just let me know.
It's been a month since Jade was shot. Her wound was healing nicely and very soon it would be healed all the way. They were sitting in their living room in their bathing suits, not because it they were planning on going swimming but because it was that damn hot. "Can we PLEASE get in the pool, I'm dyeing Tori."
Tori didn't even glance at her, "You heard what the doctor said, after your next appointment, which is tomorrow by the way, so you'll be fine. They just want to make sure it isn't going to be reopened. But I tell you what, I'll call and see if they have an open slot for today still."
Jade looked only slightly appeased. "Fine, as long as I get to go swimming."
Tori walked into the other room to make the call, and while she did that Jade reached into her bag for a little rectangular box. She opened it and looked at the necklace sitting inside. When she heard Tori's footsteps she quickly hid the box between her and the couch cushion.
"Good news, they can fit you in later this afternoon, about four o' clock. And if they tell you that you're all healed we'll go swimming. In fact we'll invite your parents over for an impromptu barbecue." Jade grimaced, but she knew not to argue, and secretly she didn't want to either. She wouldn't admit it to anyone but Tori, and still not very easily then, but she was glad her father was back in her life. But her mind turned to other things.
"Hey tor," she grabbed the box she had been hiding and got off the couch to kneel in front of her wife. "I love you and you have no Idea how glad I am that we didn't split. I have a questing for you." Jade open the box and held it out to Tori so that she could see inside. "Will you marry me? Again." She looked a little flustered. " I mean do you want to renew our vows? I already got you a ring, so I went to a jewelry store and had them make a necklace to match it."
Tori was in shock, she hadn't seen this coming. Her eyes started filling with tears and she smiled. "I would love to marry you. Again."
Jade smiled that sweet smile she saved for Tori alone and stood up to kiss her wife. The kiss lasted for quite awhile, and when they finally did come up for air Tori swatted Jade's bottom and told her to get ready for her appointment. Still reeling from the kiss, she walked in a daze to her closet. Being that it was as hot as Hades Jade decided on a plain purple tank top and a pair of denim shorts. As she went to put her shirt on her bullet wound caught her attention, her shirt forgotten on the bed. She put her hand over it, thanking whatever it was that kept Tori safe, whether it was God, aliens, or just pure chance and luck. It didn't matter what made it happen that way. She was grateful. She heard Tori calling her name from the entry way and the jingle of keys. Obviously little miss sunshine wanted to leaving now and be twenty minutes early. Jade snickered and went to meet her wife before she decided to get Jade herself.
OoOo
"You're fine to go swimming Jade. I would like to see you in another three weeks, and one more appointment about a month after that just to check on you. But other than that I think we're done here." He smiled at Jade, happy that she isn't any worse for wear.
"Sweet, I'll See you then, doc." Jade rushed out, more than ready to be in her pool. Tori gave the doctor an apologetic look and asked if there was anything else. He shook his head no and motioned with his head towards Jade, "Go on and go, I have a hunch she's ready to go swimming." He snickered at his own joke. Tori said thank you and gave him a small wave.
When Tori got out to the car Jade already had the car waiting in front of the doors for Tori, "If you had been in there any longer you would have had to walk home." Jade snickered at Tori, imaging the look on her face if she had got out here and the car was gone. Once her seatbelt was buckled Tori turned to look at Jade. "We have to go the store to pick up dinner and while we're doing that you can invite your parents over." Jade didn't look at Tori. "Whatever you say, princess." Anyone else would think that Jade was mad at Tori, but she knew better. Jade was just teasing her. Tori grinned, Man, she loved her wife.
A few hours later Jade and Tori sat at their patio table with Jades parents, they had just finished eating and her parents, Drew and Ivy west, were getting ready to go home. Both women walked them out. After their goodbyes were said Jade and Tori closed the door. They cleaned up the back yard and the kitchen. Then sat down with a glass of wine each.
Jade looked down, studying her glass. She looked up at Tori, a look of determination painted on her face. "Lets adopt a baby." To say that Tori was shocked was an understatement. "I know that you wanted to be pregnant, but you wanted a big family anyways. So we can adopt a baby and then a year or two down the road when I can take some more time off from my career you can get pregnant then. I just want to make sure that I will be around for it. You don't have to make your decision now but…" Suddenly Jade lost her nerve and looked down.
Tori threw herself on Jade, spilling both of their glasses, "That's a wonderful idea, baby. I would love to." She kissed Jade. "But I have a request first." It was Tori's turn to look unsure. "Can we look into a new house, it's just that after all that stuff with Jasmine, I don't want to bring a baby into this house…" Jade tilted Tori's head so that they were eye to eye. "If you asked for the moon I would go broke trying to get it for you," Jade looked serious after saying that, then she cracked a grin. "so please don't ask for the moon because then we will move. Into a cardboard box down the road." Jades voice softened. "But yes we can move, I've actually been thinking about it myself. In fact there is this house I've wanted to look at but I know how much you loved this house when we first saw it so I didn't mention anything. If you want I can schedule an appointment." Tori just nodded at her and laid her head on Jade's chest. They laid like that for so long Tori fell asleep on Jade. She didn't have the heart to move her yet. So she just laid there listening to Tori's breathing, alone with her thoughts.
Jade was the happiest she has been since when she was in the hospital. She was going to renew her vows to the most wonderful women in the world, they were going to adopt a baby. There wasn't more that Jade could want. Then she felt happy tears running down her face. She fell asleep with a smile on her face and her cheeks still wet. Life could only get better from here.
