Life Off The Condor

Chapter XIII

Jenergy: Lucky number 13!!! Here we go!!!

Piper used up all of the healing crystal she had in her pocket and then passed out at the same time Aerrow did. Someone had found them and rushed them both in the infirmary and now all they had to do was to wait until they both woke up. Piper woke up first, but her vision was blurry and her eyes hurting from the brightness of the light. She turned to see that Aerrow had a oxygen mask on him. Piper tried to look around to see if there was anyone in the room, while Aerrow woke up and didn't bother to look around.

"This is my entire fault after all. If I hadn't said anything about Shane, Aerrow wouldn't have done this to himself. All I've ever done is cause pain", she thought to herself, not knowing that Aerrow could hear her thoughts.

The red head forced himself up and removed his mask, knowing that he was not suppose to and made his way to her.

"You should be resting Aerrow"

"No" he told her bluntly.

Aerrow climbed in her bed and held her close to him. It then hit Aerrow that the guy he has paid to hide the ring had returned it the night before and it was still in his jean pocket. After Piper snuggled close to him, Aerrow slid the ring onto her finger.

Piper was so weak that she really needed the mask to breath, so she removed it and kissed Aerrow and of course he kissed her back and put the mask back on and held her, until she fell back to sleep. Luckily Aerrow is a light sleeper, because someone had left a cart on Piper's cord, which stopped the oxygen. So he got up and moved the cart away and went back to her.

Days later Piper didn't need the mask anymore but she did need plenty of rest. It was the middle of the night when she opened her eyes and saw Aerrow looking at her.

"Piper… Do you like kids?"

All she did was nodding, since she was still dead tired. That's when Aerrows asked her if she wanted kids after they were married. She held his hand and eagerly nodded.

"Good" was all he said.

Rosy ate the rest of her food, while drake watched her, when she wasn't looking at him. Once she was done, she set her plate on her night stand and fell asleep within minutes. Drake took the plate back to the kitchen and returned to her side. Weeks later, Rosy was almost due, meaning the baby could be coming any minute.

Meanwhile Drake was trying to find a way to tell her that he still loved her, so he bought a wedding ring but every time he has the perfect moment he freaks out and forgets about it. For a reason Rosy felt nervous and was tapping her foot, while Drake was shaking. He was about to ask her to give him a second chance, when her water broke and she squeezed his hand insanely tight.

"YOW!" Drake screamed.

"The baby's coming!" John said happily, from the Hangar Bay.

Hours later of hard labour, Lightning was born. Drake was holding his sin and decided to let Rosy rest and he left the room, after leaving the ring by her. Rosy turned and felt the ring and weakly smiled, in other words she would tell him yes, when he returns.

Lightning was cooing, which made Drake smile, "Hey Lightning".

His smile grew wider, when Lightning grabbed hold of his finger. He realized that Lightning's blankee was still in Rosy's room and so he went to get, only to see that she was wearing the ring. Drake wrapped Lightning in his Blankee and then laid him in his crib and went back to Rosy's side. Minutes later the guys and Cole came in to check on her, while the little blue furred creature jumped onto Drakes shoulder.

"Hey Cole"

Cole chirped, John thought Lightning was cute and Kyle asked if the baby had mind worms.

"I'll get you for that remark later Kyle", she thought and Drake heard, causing him to chuckle.

That's when everyone found out Lightning's special ability, teleportation. He teleported himself to his mother and she was rocking him in her arms.

"He's adorable Rosy" Joe told her.

"Thank you Joe" She smiled tiredly.

"He has mind worms", Kyle quickly said.

"No… You have mind worms"

"AHHHHHHHHH!", Kyle ran out of her room, in a panic.

Kai was working overtime at the cake shop and he looked like crap. Jenergy got tired of seeing him forcing himself so she ordered him to go rest while she takes over his shift. The one thing he was raise to do was to never show weakness, meaning he would push himself until he was almost dead. In another way of saying it, he is very stubborn.

"No… I'm okay… It's alright", he told her.

"Listen, You either relax and we both return home, yes tired but happy or you return home half dead and alone", she was dead serious.

Kai then went to the back of the store and rested on a special bed, while Jenergy finished the rest of his shift. When he was woken up, Jenergy told him that it was time to go home so he was now closing the shop.

"Kai, are you okay?", Jenergy asked him.

"I'm okay… I think", he then kissed her cheek.

She then gave him and made him drink his Mercury, which still tasted awful which also made it hard for him to swallow.

"Why is this stuff so hard to swallow?" he asked her.

"Because it taste awful", she simply told him.

Kai hugged her and they both went back home. As soon as they got into the house, Kai started to nuzzle her neck, while she was wondering if he was ever going to propose to her or just making his move and dumping her. They still haven't done anything and they've been together for over 6 months now. She backed away and said that she was going to bed and closed the door to her room quickly. Kai knew what she was thinking and he can understand why she would feel that way. In fact, he was going to propose to her tonight.

"Jenergy come on, we have a date tonight and I made it extra special. We're eating under the stars and we need to talk seriously"

After he had convinced her to go on their date, they were enjoying food, Champagne and the atmosphere of their night. That is until Jenergy found a beautiful ring in her glass and gasp. Kai kneeled on one knee and told her that she was his one and only and if she refused he would seriously killed himself right there and now. Jenergy put the ring on and kissed him. He returned it deeper until they realized they were making out.

They were missing the shooting stars, while they were making out, until they broke for air and Jenergy nuzzled Kai and they then continued where they left off. Before they had known it, they had made love. Kai was kissing her back, while holding her. When she turned to kiss him, Jenergy saw that he was pale and asked if he was feeling okay. They found out that after taking his Mercury Kai will get pale form time to time. They then enjoyed the rest of the night just holding one another under the stars.
