"Hey Sam." Jules smiled, lifting her head from his chest to kiss him gently. "I told you I trusted you."
"Yeah, do you still trust me?"
"Of course." She smiled and placed her face back on his bare chest and fell back to sleep as he stroked her hair.
About 20 minutes later.
"Hey Sam, Jul-. Oh wow. Did you guys really-."Jessica sighed as she walked through the house gathering her things for school, and stopped by Jules' bedroom.
Sam looked at her with an embarrassed grin on his face. "Good morning Jessica." He chuckled, watching as she backed away from the room, Jules still sleeping soundly as Sam held on to her.
"Well, sorry for interrupting whatever you two have going on, but I'm gonna head off to school. The bus should be here any minute. Listen, Alexis is still in bed. I really don't think she needs to go today."
"Yeah, I don't think Jules wanted her to go. You have a fun day at-."
"Sam?" Jules whispered, looking up to see him still holding on to her.
"Hey Baby, Jessica is here." He replied, trying to reference to her Warning. Kid in the room!
"Oh hey Jess. I- I'll deal with Alexis later. You go have a good day with your friends, and you call me or Sam, or anyone else on the team if someone says something to you about this." Jules sat up, clinging the sheets around her.
Jessica giggled at the look on their faces. "Oh wow. How embarrassing. I guess I'll see you two later." She sighed and grabbed her stuff on the way out of the house, Sam watching the light from the front door, appear then vanish.
"So, where were we?" Sam charged, pulling Jules to him, kissing her passionately. She pulled away slowly, laughing, "Sam, I think you have already had your fun. Calm down."
"Fine, Fine." Sam shook his head low as he watched her grab the blanket from the bed and go to find clothes for the day.
"You know this is gonna come back and bite both of us in the ass." Jules said in a joking tone.
"Well Jules. I personally don't see anyone from the team around. I mean, do you? I sure don't. No one will ever know what goes down behind closed doors." Sam said, winking and chuckling at the embarrassed look she gave him.
"Sam- Gosh- There are so many things wrong with what you just said. A- I really hope the guys would never see that. And B-."
"Yeah, what's B?"
"B-, well, B is for what a bitch I have had to become to keep you behaved." She giggled, walking back towards him and giving him the kiss he wanted.
"And Oddly, Im okay with that."
"Okay, Im getting ready for the day. We finally have a day off though, so I want to spend the day trying to figure out how to help Alexis through this, but I really think we both need to be dressed for that."
"Um, yeah, I agree." Sam sighed, pulling on his jeans and official SRU Team One Shirt.
After they were both dressed, Sam went to the kitchen as Jules slowly dragged herself into the girl's bedroom.
"Alexis? Hey Alexis, sweetie, wake up." She entered the bedroom, seeing the shape of a body huddled under the pillows.
"SAM!" She shrieked, pulling away the covers, she dropped to her knees as Sam fled through the house and to her side.
"What's wrong?!"
"She's- she's gone!" Jules had pulled away the covers to reveal a pile of pillows Alexis had left them. Jules leaned into Sam, crying, as he wrapped her close to him. "It's okay baby, we'll find her. We will. She was just here a little while ago, Jessica saw her."
"Sam, I gotta- I gotta find her." Jules jerked away from his tight hug and ran to the door, grabbing her keys on the way.
"Jules! Jules come ba-." Sam chased after her but before he could get out the front door, her jeep was gone.
The streets of downtown Toronto felt hours long as Jules drove, honking her horn at any slowpoke, who decided to creep in front of her.
It felt like forever, as she drove all the way into the eastern-most part of Toronto.
Jules' cell phone rang. Of course, it was Sam. She let it ring through once. The next time it rang two minutes later, and she turned off the sound.
Pulling through the smaller streets, she looked out the window and saw a figure. She pulled over and stared for a moment. It was Alexis, sitting in a graveyard. She was sitting at a grave, stroking her fingers gently across the name. Jules didn't want to scare her off, she just watched from her car until….
COMMERICAL BREAK! BAHAHAHA. Okay. I was gonna end this chapter here…. But Im WAY to nice. :D
Enjoy the next part.
Alexis had a bag. She was fumbling through it with tears running down her face. It was filled with papers, flowers, and—a gun. Jules unlocked the door to her car, but then froze. A feeling of shock took over her, as she didn't know what to do. She knew Alexis was unstable and upset, and she knew that approaching her suddenly could make her fire the gun at either Jules or herself. Opening the glove compartment on the passenger side, she nervously took out her gun case. Placing it in her lap, a tear fell to it. Gazing at the gun, then stroking the side, she jerked the case back shut and threw it to the floor of the car. Jules jumped from the driver's seat, and began walking wearily across the street.
"Lexi." Jules sighed, trying to keep from dropping to the grass in tears.
"Go- go away Jules. I don't need- I don't- I don't need to be talked to right now." Alexis was shaking with fear, tightening her hand around the gun as she still sat on the ground, facing her mother and father's graves next to one another.
"I- I cant leave you."
"Yes! Yes you can! Go away!" Alexis rose to her knees, then fell back onto the grass, holding the gun tightly in her hands.
"Can I at least have the gun sweetheart? Where did you get that?"
"No Jules! I- I said I wanted to be alone!" She jumped to her feet raising the gun at Jules.
Sam drove aimlessly through the streets of Toronto. She was nowhere to be found, no Jules or Alexis. He was about to go home and see if she had come back, until he slammed on brakes.
"Oh my god." Sam jerked back on the steering wheel, seeing Jules at gunpoint with Alexis holding the gun. He couldn't move. He couldn't run out there and save her. He couldn't trust Alexis.
"Alexis. Please. Just drop the gun. It's not going to help either of us for you to have that gun. I'm- I'm not armed. I wont hurt you. I want you to tell me why you are doing this though. I mean, if you want to shoot me you must have a reason, and if you did shoot me at least I would know why." Jules sighed, trying to hold back her tears to appear strong to Alexis.
"I- I-" She couldn't think of a real reason, she was just losing her mind. "Just- I-."
"Alexis, put it—put it down." Jules took a step forward, scared to death that Alexis would pull the trigger, but she continued forward, jerking the girl's hand quickly like she was trained to pull the gun down and make it unable for it to be fired at her. Jules threw the gun to the ground, pulling Alexis into a tight hug, both crying their eyes out.
"Jules, I- I- Im sorry Jules."
"Oh Lexi, its okay, its okay sweetie, come here." Jules sat down in the grass, pulling Alexis in close to her. "Do you want to talk?"
"Jules- I—I miss my parents." Alexis cried.
"I know you do sweetie, I know you do." Jules began to think of her mom. "I know how it is to lose a parent, but I understand you lost both and I'm sure its not easy." Jules sat in the overgrown grass with Alexis holding onto her.
Sam watched from his car with tears rolling down his cheeks.
Alexis began to pull flowers out the bag that rested beside her. She leaned from her knees to place flowers on both graves, then returned to Jules' arms.
"Jules?" Alexis whispered.
"Yeah Lexi?"
"I—I want to move on." Alexis reached to her bag, tearing the bundle of papers from the bottom. Jules looked in shock as Alexis raised the papers in front of her. "Jules, Jessica will be 18 in a few months, and I'm not ready. I want her to go to college. I want- I want you to sign these so she wont have custody of me. I'm not ready to be alone Jules. As you can tell, I'm just not."
"Lexi, are you- are you sure?" Jules read the papers.
"Jules, I'm not asking for you to adopt me. I can—I can find another foster home once you want to be able to move on." Alexis sighed, handing her a pen.
"Sweetheart." Jules dropped the papers. "I don't want to ever move on. I love you Alexis, I don't want to give that up for anything."
Alexis smiled, diving into a hug from Jules. "So, you'll sign them!?"
"No. I wont sign these papers." Jules smiled, Alexis sighed, her jaw dropping until Jules spoke again. "I wont sign them because, Alexis, I want- I want to adopt you."
Alexis jumped to her feet with excitement, jumping and screaming as Jules came up after her. "Jules! You'll- you'll be my mom!" Alexis wrapped her arms around Jules as the both smiled brightly.
By this time, Sam had pulled away as he knew Jules was safe, and left the girls to handle things on their own.
"Yeah sweetie, I'll be your mom." Jules smiled, praying to herself that she can pull this whole "mom" role off. Sure, she wasn't married, but she had Sam. He was like the best friend she could have at her side to help out when needed.
"I cant believe it! Im so excited!"
"But listen, Lexi, you don't have to call me mom. You can just call me Jules."
"Thanks Jules. You don't—you don't even know how much this means to me."
"I- I want to send Jessica to college. She deserves it. She only has a month of school to go and she can graduate. I- I can't adopt her now. She's almost 18. Once she turns 18, she wont need me anymore."
"I know Jules, that's great that she can go to college. Im sure she will be really excited! I'm just completely psyched that you're my mom! I am trying to move on in life, and realize that things aren't going to go back to normal, but this-this has completely made me see that things can get as close to normal as they ever will." Alexis watched how excited Jules was and Jules replied, "How about we go get those forms signed off?"
Alexis nodded happily, collecting her things from the ground. She looked down to see—the gun. "Jules?" Alexis sighed with disbelief that she actually had held the gun up to who was now going to be her mother.
"Sweetheart, don't worry about it." Jules lifted the gun by her finger and held it in a safe position. She paused. "Alexis, this is-"
"Im really sorry Jules. I really am." Alexis watched the disappointed and weary look on Jules' face when she realized it was the gun she had in a case in her locker room.
"It's- It's okay." Jules hugged her as they walked to her car.
Sam called once more and Jules finally answered. Before he could speak Jules explained, "Sam, I found her, we are both fine. I just need to do something before we go home."
"That's- that's good Jules."
She hung up quickly.
In an immediate approach to get the papers signed, Jules and Alexis were in and out of the courthouse in less than an hour.
"Oh my gosh! Jules you're my mom now! I love you so much! You don't even know how much this means to me!" Alexis jerked her into a huge hug, shaking her with excitement.
"Sweetheart, I cant even believe it! I love you too Lexi!" Jules lifted the small figured 15 year old off the ground, which was still no struggle for Jules after all of the SRU training. "I cant wait for Sam to hear the great news! He's gonna be so excited! I'm also looking forward to telling Jessica she gets to go to college and pursue any dream she has for her future! And you—What are we going to do with little Lexi? Hmm. Maybe she could come work a part-time job at the SRU I scored her?!"
"Oh my gosh Jules! Are you serious!! Today is like a dream come true! After my parents died, I never saw hope, but today has made everything better!"
"Come on sweetie, let's go home, your sister will be home soon." Jules smiled, as they both got into her jeep.
Arriving home about 10 minutes later, Jessica had still not gotten home from school, but Alexis wasn't going to let Sam find out the great news a second too late. Alexis slammed through the door, dragging Jules by her arm.
"Sam! Sam! Yoohoo!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as Sam ran in from the backyard.
"What?! What!?" Sam still couldn't forget the position he saw Jules in just an hour or two ago.
"Jules! She's my- my mom!" Alexis jumped in excitement.
"I adopted her Sam." Jules smiled brightly, almost crying she was so happy.
"Oh my gosh! That's awesome! Im so happy for both of you!" Sam jumped with excitement, pulling both of them into a tight hug.
As they all three pulled away, the front door flew open. Jessica came running in, waving a folded paper in the air. "I got it! I got it!"
"What Jess,what?" Jules said frantically, watching the excitement on Jessica's face.
"Early Graduation! I applied and I sent in my grades, and I got it!"
"Oh my gosh sweetie, that's amazing!" Jules exclaimed, hugging her excitedly.
"Yeah, and Jules! They said I could go to any college this summer for early classes! All I have to do is apply to any college I want and they choose if I'm eligible!"
"Sweetheart that's awesome! Im so proud of you!"
"The only problem is… Alexis. I cant take care of her if I'm in college. So I don't know if I'm gonna-."
"Jessica, you're going." Alexis stepped forward.
"What?"
Alexis looked at Jules, excited to share the great news. "Jess, Jules is my new mom."
"Oh my gosh!" Jessica jumped up and down, linking ars with Alexis as they screamed with excitement together.
Sam walked up behind Jules wrapping his arms around her, kissing her cheek. "You're going to be an awesome mom." He whispered.
"And guys! They said I can start next week!" Jessica screamed, still jumping with joy.
"Today-," Jules thought for a moment, and decided not to tell anyone else about the incident that morning, "Today has been amazing."
I hope you liked it! :D Review!
