Hey guys, sorry about the wait :) Had a surgery a few days ago and haven't been feeling to well since, but now I'm getting better :) The wait has given me some time to think this through, and well... Here's the next chapter. Still just fluff. I know you want my twisting dark stories, but I fear that this is mostly Angelic-stuff. But there will be several fights scenes, some drugs and oh.. another accident. Enjoy and review :)
Chapter 10.
"Jill? Are you sure?"
Jill nodded.
"Yeah. I'm through. My glorious days are over. So I'll move here to the East coast, spend some quality time with my sister."
"Jill that's great, having you home all the time. But quit racing? You love racing."
"I know. But it's time to retire. I feel my time is over, I'm not as good as I was, and I feel that it's just a matter of time before I've driven my last race."
"How do you feel about it?"
"I've accepted the fact, but that doesn't mean I'm thrilled about it. But it's the best thing to do. I'm finished. It was a great ride and I definitely had fun. But now it's time to so something else. What about a new career?"
"Such as?"
"I don't know, but there are plenty of careers out there that I haven't tried yet." Jill said with a grin, and Kris smiled, before wincing slightly, putting her hand towards her stomach.
"You okay?" Jill asked worried.
"Yeah, just Braxton hicks."
Jill nodded.
"They painful?"
"Not as painful as uncomfortable but the ones earlier today were painful. The doctor explained that when you're stressed the contractions can sometimes get stronger and more painful."
Jill nodded, looking down at her hands. She felt guilty for causing the stress, she knew Kris and her fight had been a huge part of why Kris became stressed, and she didn't want to cause her sister any kind of pain, especially not when she was a fragile as now. Kris sighed and leaned back down towards the pillows after been sitting up as they talked. Now she rested her head towards the pillows and closed her eyes.
"I should let you sleep." Jill said, resting her hand on Kris' stomach. Kris just nodded, she was so tired, she would definitely love some sleep. Jill rose from the bed and pulled the cover over Kris before she left the room. Jill walked out of the room and found Tommy and Kelly sitting in a couch outside of it. She noticed Tommy having a huge beige stain over his chest, and Jill looked at him confused.
"I acidentally spilled some coffee on him." Kelly said, explaining embarrassed. If Jill had looked up at her friend she would have noticed that Kelly might have sounded embarrassed, but she wasn't. She was hiding something.
Jill just nodded and sat down in an other couch.
"How is she?" Kelly asked worried.
"Just tired. She woke up for a couple of minutes but fell asleep again."
"She hasn't been sleeping much lately." Kelly said.
The sentence took right in Jill's heart. She knew she wasn't there enough for Kris, and the fact that Kelly knew everything about her was hard for her to accept. She didn't know why these feelings had come from, they had started after Kris had died a couple of months back. She had died, but Jill hadn't been there when it happened, Kelly got to know about it first, and Jill had really been sad about that. Then when they were at the karaoke bar and Kris had said "Kelly, Jill, this is for you." Jill had joked away the fact that Kris said her name second, but the more she thought about it the more scared she got. What if Kris really put her second? She would never be able to live with herself? Just because she wasn't around as much?
Jill had been awake many nights, so scared that she would lose her sister. Jill had tried to be logical, spent endless hours in the baths, thinking things true. She was angry at Kris, and she was angry at Kelly, but most her anger got directed towards Kelly, because no matter how mad she was a Kris, she couldn't get herself to yell at her. Kelly was one of her best friends, but she was not her sister, at least not by blood. It was easier to yell at her. Jill wanted to turn around and bang her head into a wall. What was she saying? It wasn't their fault that she was out of the country a lot? And it wasn't a bad thing that Kelly and Kris were tight friends. It was a wonderful thing, she was happy that Kris had someone to lean on when things got rough. So why all this angst and hurt? Jill couldn't understand her own thoughts, nothing was making sense. She was jealous, and her mind was playing evil tricks within itself.
Jill sighed and leaned down towards the headrest. She couldn't bare herself to meet Kelly's eyes.
"I just talked to Anton, he was going to call Bri and the guys. How did things go in San Francisco?" Kelly asked carefully, noticing how tense Jill was.
"Good. It went fine, we met up with a friend of Kino, or, well, Jenny and Sabrina did. He said that he didn't know where Kino was and when he later left the house we all followed him to the central waterfront where he met up with Kino and the men in the woods. Bosley and I went to get some ice-cream so we could get close to them without making them suspicious. Kino was told that Jenny was in town and he got really upset, both angry at her and then angry at the two other guys for shooting her. Then they talked about moving the merchandise before Frasier finds it, and that they would meet tomorrow, same place same time."
"So I think I'll know what we're doing tomorrow." Kelly smiled.
"We're?"
"If they are going to move the merchandise, and you'll be stalking them, things could get rough. And if things get rough, I want in on it to help make sure no one gets hurt."
"I'll be there too." Tommy said.
Jill nodded.
"We'll probably need everyone to make this happen. Whatever this is." Jill said, still not looking up at Kelly.
They sat still outside the room for some time before the doctor and a nurse came to them. They walked into the room, and the others followed them quietly. Kris woke up when the nurse was taking her vitals.
"How are you doing?" Dr Pine asked.
"I'm okay, just a bit tired." Kris said quietly, in the same time as the nurse handed Dr Pine the chart.
"Well, everything looks good, so your family is welcome to take you home if you just fill these paperwork out." Dr Pine smiled, handing Kris some papers. Kris signed them and handed them back to her. "Good. Here's some prescriptions, just in case they are needed."
Dr Pine handed the papers to Tommy, who smiled towards her.
"Thank you."
Dr Pine smiled before she turned back to Kris.
"Then you're free to walk out of here." She smiled. "Just take it easy now, try to get some rest."
"I will. Thank you doctor."
Dr Pine smiled again and left the room. The nurse removed the monitor and the IV before she too left the room. Kris got changed and then Tommy steadied her as they walked out of the hospital. No wheelchair-policy here, which Kris was thankful over.
"Let's get you into bed." Tommy smiled, helping Kris into the car.
"Jill, you coming with us?" Kelly asked when Jill turned towards another direction.
"No, I'll meet you at home, I have the other car parked over there." Jill said back, not really looking at Kelly as she did. Kelly sighed and nodded, and then jumped into the backseat of the jeep Tommy was driving.
As they got back to the house, Tommy steadied Kris as they walked inside. Sabrina, Anton, Bosley and Jenny all came and met up with them, worried looks in their eyes.
"You okay Kris?"
Kris nodded slightly, feeling tired and weak still.
"Come on, why don't you lie down in Anton and mine bed, so you don't have to walk up the stairs?" Sabrina said worried, holding Lucas on her hip.
"Thank you Sabrina." Kris smiled thankfully as Anton held up the door for them, and Kris sank down into the bed, Tommy pulled her cover up, and she soon fell asleep again. The others gathered up into the dining room where Sabrina, Anton, Jenny and Bosley had prepared dinner. Ella and Sarah were already sitting on chairs, eating. The girls smiled when their mother walked inside the room.
"Mom!" They both exclaimed happily, and Kelly walked up to them, kissing them both on the head.
"Hi my girls. What have you done while I was gone?" She smiled, sitting down in between of them.
"We kept riding for a while and it was really fun and Anton said I can do it again tomorrow if you're okay with it are you?" Ella asked in one breath and Kelly couldn't help but to laugh.
"Yes, it's okay."
After Ella and Sarah were finished, they excused themselves from the table and sneaked away to Sabrina and Anton's bedroom. They walked inside, finding Kris asleep in the bed. Worried, Ella climbed up into the bed and pulled out Kris' arm and lay down on her shoulder. Sarah joined in and lay down on Kris' legs. They stayed like that for a while before Kris woke up and noticed the girls.
"Hey you two."
"Is our brother or sister okay?" Ella asked worried.
Kris looked at Ella with confused look, before she smiled and talked.
"Ella, sweetie, it's not your brother or sister inside. It's your cousin."
Ella put her head to her side, trying to follow her.
"You see, your mother is like my sister, which makes me your aunt. And my baby is then your cousin."
"Oh." Ella just said, understanding what she meant.
"Oh." Sarah smiled, not really paying attention to the conversation.
Kris giggled, and smoothed the little girl over her hair. It had begun growing, but it only seemed like it grow in every direction except down. It was completely out of control all the time and if Kelly or someone else tried to do something about it, Sarah screamed like someone was trying to kill her. So they just let the hair be as it was. Out of control.
"Is our cousin okay then?" Ella smiled, still having her hands on the stomach.
"Yeah, your cousin is fine."
"I'm gonna call is my sister or brother anyway." Ella said thoughtfully. "Because that sounds better."
Kris smiled gently. She knew Ella was looking forward to the baby a lot, she loved babies. She was so excited about it and she had been so happy when Kris had told her that she was going to have a baby.
"You do that honey, you do that.
