So six people voted on my poll and five of the six want Jack and Mist to have a daughter. Although I was planning on giving them a son, I decided to let you decide how the story would go, and I am glad I did so. Jack and Mist will have a daughter, and her name will be revealed in future chapters. This story will take place over a period of one year, but she will have a major role in the climax of the story. This will all be explained this chapter. Mist being pregnant with Jack's child even though they haven't seen each other for twelve years will also be explained. Lastly, I realized last chapter that I called Jack's blade Wanderer's Call. It was a mistake on my part and the name should be Wanderer's Judgement. Anyway, on to what you came for.
Chapter 11: Answers
When Jack set off the explosion, he had teleported himself and the struggling Mist to Yen Sid's tower. He was hoping that the Master might know what to do with her. He still held her as tight as he thought he could without harming her. "Let me go!" she shrieked menacingly. Jack sighed as he picked her up and led her inside.
Yen Sid looked up from his desk in shock as his door came flying open and Jack walked in carrying a struggling girl. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked calmly as he stood up. Jack grunted from the effort he was making to restrain the girl.
"Yen Sid, meet Mist. She's…..she's my girlfriend. But, something's wrong with her. Illusion, he….he did something to her." Jack grunted as Mist began to scream. Yen Sid nodded in understanding as he gestured toward the other room.
They walked inside, and Yen Sid led them to a bed in the corner of the room. Jack cautiously laid Mist down, who was still fighting. Yen Sid waved a hand over her face, and she grew still, her eyes open. "You didn't….?!" Jack gasped. Yen Sid shook his head.
"I have put her in a very deep sleep so that I may ascertain why she is polluted with Darkness. Also, Jack, is this the same Mist who was thought to have been killed twelve years ago?" he asked.
Jack nodded. He absently rubbed his now forever closed right eye. "I am sorry for the loss of your eye. I saved it when you received your scar, but there is no way of bringing it back now. Now, Mist….she looks to be 18, just like you. How is it that she has not aged for twelve years?" Yen Sid asked him. Jack sighed.
"I don't know what Illusion did to her, but he did something bad. Can you tell me if my child is alright?" he suddenly asked him. Yen Sid looked at him in surprise.
"Jack, you didn't…." he muttered. Jack smiled sheepishly and looked at the floor. Yen Sid sighed and muttered to himself.
"While I do not agree with your actions with this young woman, I will check the child to make sure of its safety." he promised. Jack sighed in relief as he sank into a chair. Yen Sid held his hands in the air just above Mist's body. He began waving them up and down her stomach and chest area.
"Interesting….." he muttered.
"What is it?" Jack immediately asked.
"The child has been in her womb for twelve years, as well. How it has not aged and been born is beyond me." he explained. Jack stood up and went back to her side. He gently began stroking her raven dark hair.
"Is there any way to tell what gender it is?" he asked Yen Sid softly. Yen Sid nodded before closing his eyes and placing both hands above her stomach. After several moments, he relaxed.
"The child….is a girl. You will have a daughter, Jack." he revealed. Jack smiled in awe as he slowly sank back into his chair.
"I'm gonna be….a father." he whispered slowly. Yen Sid nodded, smiling. Jack suddenly frowned. "I'm in no shape to raise a child, Master. Not after everything I've done!" he burst out suddenly. Yen Sid breathed deeply.
"Jack, the child is yours. Mist is still corrupted, and until I can free her from Illusion's control, you are the only parent that child has. If you abandon her, then you know he will come for the child. I can already tell exactly what the child is." Yen Sid warned him. Jack ran his hands through his hair and placed his head in his hands.
"How long until she's born?" he asked. Yen Sid stared at Mist.
"The child has been in stasis for twelve years. Now that it has awoken, it will need to make up for lost time. It will grow very rapidly until it reaches the age it should be, twelve." he explained after a moment.
"And I'll be 19 next month." Jack muttered. Yen Sid sighed.
"Jack, I will do my absolute best to help Mist, but you cannot afford to sit here. Sora and Terra need your aid now. Twilight Town is under an attack stronger than Xehanort had ever launched. You cannot afford to sit idle any longer, Jack. You are their leader in this war. The enemy is your brother. Only you can lead the charge." Yen Sid implored him. Jack slowly stood up and nodded as Yen Sid grabbed him by the front of the shirt. "You must become the shining beacon that you are destined to become! You are the Light's chosen, Jack. You are Light itself. Only you can combat the true Darkness. When the clash commences, your child will be the final piece of the puzzle. You and Mist must protect her with your very lives. Now is the time, Jack. We are at your side. You must press forward!" Yen Sid impatiently explained to him.
Jack nodded and headed for the door. He paused at the doorway. "If anything at happens with Mist or my baby, you let me know immediately." he said firmly. Yen Sid nodded.
"Of course, Jack." he replied. Jack nodded, and sighed as he set off to save his friends' lives once again.
A shorter chapter but at least you should understand more now. I already have Jack's daughter's name figured out and I hope you like it. I hope you liked the scene between Jack and Mist even though she wasn't awake. Expect more JackxMist fluff later on when Mist wakes up! I will do my best to do Jack justice as a daddy! Wish me luck! Review and see ya!
