Chapter 49

Jesse looked over at Slater as he stared at her while holding onto their daughter. Jesse had just opened her eyes after the major scare that had nearly taken her life. Slater had made sure that the hospital had called the police, after what Jesse had told them and what the letter had stated, they were well aware this had been a murder attempt on Jesse, and they weren't taking anymore chances. Jesse was glad at least now the hospital understood why it was so important that one of them be with the baby at all times. Now that they were finally alone with their daughter again, and their friends had all gone home, scared out of their minds, Jesse could tell her husband wasn't sure what to say. She saw the guilt in his eyes, almost like he should have made their friends come into the room before he left her alone to go and watch over their precious little girl. The major blessing in all of this was that their son hadn't been there to see everything that had happened. She never would have forgiven herself if their son, who still thought every day that there was a chance he would be sent away from them, had seen her on deaths door from a major allergic reaction.

"Mama, are you sure you're feeling all right?" Slater asked her softly.

"I am much better now." Jesse nodded her head. "We still haven't named her and they need a name so we can fill out her birth certificate."

"True. I am trying to remember the names we came up with." Slater said as he cuddled their daughter close in one arm and raised his free hand to rub at his temples. He couldn't believe how close he had come to becoming a single father of a young son and a newborn daughter. Slater didn't know what he would do if he ever lost Jesse, he wasn't even sure he knew what raising a daughter meant without a female presence in the house all the time. Sure he knew that Kelly and Lisa would help out, but they weren't her mother and no one could ever take the place of a mother.

"Well what names did you like?" Jesse asked with a slight frown as she tried to think as well.

"I like the names Alexa, Kailin, McKenna and Raeanne." Slater said as he glanced down at their daughter.

"I like the names McKenna, MacKenzie, Caitlyn, Ella, and Riley." Jesse said as she looked at their daughter.

"Well we don't have to decide right now, they can fill out as much of the certificate without her name as they can. They know you just nearly lost your life, and for that they can't hold it against you." Slater said as he leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you baby." Jesse said as she sighed. Her head was hurting from all the medication she had been given, and she was really tired. She didn't want to fall asleep on Slater, especially since they were going to need the time alone with their new daughter, but she didn't think she could stay awake for very much longer.

"It's all right mama, you have been through a lot, get some sleep." Slater murmured softly to her.

"Are you sure?" Jesse asked biting her lower lip.

"Sleep." Slater simply said in answer to her question.

So Jesse closed her eyes and stopped trying to fight the fatigue and exhaustion that was pulling her under, she just slept.


Zack was pacing back and forth as they stood inside of Jesse and Slaters home. They had all tucked in their son and made sure that he knew they would take him to see his mom and dad soon enough, but he needed his rest right now and so did they. Once he heard he had a baby sister, he had been really excited and jumping up and down, almost as much as Screech was, but they had finally calmed him down and gotten him into bed, where Kelly and Lisa had read him a bedtime story before they all tucked him into bed. Zack looked over at his own son that was fast asleep in his car seat and he sighed, the whole thing at the hospital had been a huge mess.

"All right, so we know this guy is more than willing to just outright kill now, so what do we do?" Lisa asked softly, still shaking as she sat next to Screech who put his arm around her shoulders in comfort.

"We can't let him have any chance at getting near the kids or Jesse again. I seriously doubt he would go after Slater, but we might want to nip that in the bud as well." Zack said rubbing at the tension in the back of his neck.

"What if he comes after us?" Kelly asked worriedly, watching her infant son sleep in his car seat.

"Well, we can all go deep underground again." Zack said softly.

"Moving back onto the base won't help?" Kelly asked hopefully.

"He nearly got Jesse there to." Screech reminded her.

"Yes but now they will step things up, there are kids involved now, it's different." Kelly pointed out still desperate.

"No, we need to go somewhere he won't look." Zack said shaking his head.

"I am tired of looking over my shoulder, and now our son is involved!" Kelly said as she jumped up. "We got into this to keep her away from an abusive and psycho ex boyfriend, who is this guy now? Did she have another psycho ex we didn't know about?"

"What if it's a family member of the ex?" Lisa suggested.

"Either way, it doesn't matter, we need a plan and we need one fast." Zack said putting the discussion back into what they needed to do.


He was more than angry, he was beyond angry, he was just plain old furiously pissed off. Jesse wasn't dead and now there was no chance he was going to get to either of the targets in the hospital, the security was too tight there now. He felt like banging his head against the wall, but he couldn't afford to bring unnecessary attention to himself. He grabbed out his binder book instead and flipped through all of the pictures and plans in there, he needed a new one and he needed it fast because Jesse needed to pay for everything and she was going to pay, even if it meant killing the newborn daughter just to make things even.
