Chapter 37

Jesse knew she couldn't just lie in that bed and allow this man to kill her. She took a deep breath and swung her arm up and slammed it into the side of the guys head. She rolled to the other side of the bed, hitting the floor hard, grateful the nurse forgot to put that rail back up. She saw the man getting angry and he tried to get to her, she needed to find a way to get to the door but he was blocking it with a grin. Jesse knew she needed to scream, if she did someone would open the door and it would hit him and she could run out of the room. She was worried though if she did that than there was a chance that he would hurt whoever it was that came in the room.

"You aren't going to kill me!" Jesse said forcefully. She was thinking about the discussion she had been having with everyone about starting a family.

"What do you mean I am not going to kill you? I believe I make the decisions about what I am or am not going to do." The man said with a snarl. "You shouldn't have fought him, if you had just let him kill you then there wouldn't be a problem now. Now your husband could be an issue that needs to be resolved, once I finish with you in here, I will take care of him."

"You aren't laying a hand on me or my husband." Jesse said as the man approached her.

"Who is going to stop me?" The man asked with a smirk.

"I am." Slater said as he tackled the guy from behind. Once he was on top of him he slammed his fist into his jaw several times over. Once he was sure the man was unconscious he got up and grabbed a hold of his wife who was shaking badly. "It's okay mama, it's okay. He isn't going to hurt you."

"He isn't the only one. I just remembered who he is and Slater there is a team that he works with. What if they all come after us? What if this isn't the end of this whole thing? I just want to be your wife and I want to start a family, I want to, but how can we if we aren't sure if we are safe?" Jesse said with tears streaming down her face.

"Mama, listen to me Jesse, no matter what happens we are all going to stick together. We are going to buy a place with great security and from there we will handle things. We are going to be happy and if someone else comes after us then we can handle that when the time comes, until it comes we are not going to go around asking for trouble." Slater said with a smile as he kissed her forehead and helped her back to bed.

Security came in and they immediately cuffed the man and put him in a wheelchair since he was only semi conscious. The rest of the gang showed up and they all breathed a sigh of relief that the man hadn't killed Jesse, but the thought that more of them could be out there bothered all of them. Jesse was going to be released from the hospital and they were all set to go into hiding for a while.

Kelly smiled at all her friends nervously. She still hadn't told Zack her news and here she was prepared to announce it to everyone. All well, she wanted everyone to know and she figured once her news was out it wouldn't take long for Jesse to want the same thing, and that was something that she knew her friend really wanted.

"I'm pregnant." Kelly said suddenly.

"What?" Zack asked turning around, shock written all over his face as he stared at his wife. He had no clue that she was expecting or that he was going to be a daddy soon. "Are you sure?" He asked her in major shock.

"Yes I am sure. I went to a doctor and they ran the tests and they confirmed what I suspected. So now we are going to go somewhere nice and private and Jesse and Slater are going to work on becoming pregnant because we promised each other that our kids would be best friends and close in age so you have no choice anymore Jesse and Slater." Kelly said with a stern and serious look on her face.

"Oh my gosh! This is great news!" Lisa said excited. "I am planning the baby shower and when Jesse is ready for hers I am planning hers. I can't believe it, my best friend is pregnant and my other best friend is going to get pregnant!"

Jesse looked between everyone in the room. They were all deciding that she was going to get herself knocked up real soon, they didn't bother to talk to her about it. She didn't mind the thought of having a baby with her husband but the thought that they all thought she needed to hurry and get pregnant just so her baby could be born close to Kelly's made her a little upset. She believed that you should bring a child into the world when you were ready for it, ready to love it. As much as she wanted to be a mommy she didn't think that it was safe for her to become one just yet.

"I know what you're thinking. Why don't we do this, we go into hiding for a few months and see what happens? If you get pregnant than that will be great news and if you don't then we can work on that later." Slater suggested to his nervous and quiet wife.

"When do we leave?" Jesse asked in her own way agreeing to his deal.

"As soon as your discharged we are heading out and no one is going to know where the six of us are heading. It's going to be you, me, Lisa, Screech, Kelly and Zack. At least we will be there to help Kelly and Zack adjust to the fact they are about to become parents." Slater said with a grin.

As much as she was happy about everything that was going down, she was a little nervous to. She hoped that this getaway would be the thing to get them all on track and she hoped that there would be no more problems and no one else would come after her or her friends and family. Only time would tell.
