Jackson and Cruz got back a little late. They didn't mean to. Just they had a nice date. And a good talk. Jackson was just emotionally drained and ready to head to bed. He and Cruz changed in he bedroom. "I'm gonna check on Sky before going to bed." Jackson said. Cruz thought that was sweet. She kissed Jackson's cheek. "I'm gonna get a glass of water or something. Meet you back up stairs." She replied with a sexy brush across Jackson's chest. She was always so teasing.
Jacmosn creeked Sky's door open he smiled at her. Passed out aslee on the floor with some toys. It was kinda cute. He walked in and picked her up. "Come on.." Sky was passed out tired. Jackson layed her down in bed. He covered her up. Smiling at his little girl. He felt bad. He wished he didn't leave her and Rachel.. they deserved better. He didn't get to see her first steps. First breath even. First words.. it kinda hurt thinking about it. However Rachel did it all those years. "night Sky.." Jackson whispered softly and made sure she was good. He then went back to the bedroom and began to search for his lost phone.
Jackson knelt down. Not under the bed. Not on the night stand. Not in it. Not on the dresser. Not on the bed. Not in old jean pockets?.. he really misplaced it. "Hmm." He muttered to himself. Jackson went into the bathroom and looked in there. Nothing. He really lost it?
He sat down on the bed. He kinda gave up finding his phone. Maybe his car? When it stalled?.. his dad was ridiculous. Jackson shook his head thinking about it. Cruz was taking a while.
He really realized it now. What was she doing? She said just a glass? Jackson tried not to over think this. Cruz would never do anything with his dad. Right?.. Jackson was nervous. "No.. Cruz wouldn't do that." He convinced himself sitting there. But.. Cruz still never showed up? "Alright.." he muttered. Now he had to check up on his girl. But just as Jackson wa about to open the door Cruz opens it.
"Hey?.. You Okay?" Jackson asked. Cruz faked a smile and nodded walking into the room. "I'm really tired babe.. I just wanna get some rest." Jackson shut the door. Suspicious. Crux had a complete change. She seemed upset. "Hey did my dad do something? Say something? You tell me and I'll deal with it." Cruz wouldn't even look at Jackson. He knew something was up but waited for her answer. "No Jackson. It's fine." She said and hugged her love. Jackson wrapped his arms around her. He didn't entirely believe her. But.. Cruz didn't lie. So he let it be and they went to bed...
They all met up downstairs for some high end breakfast. Jack at the end the table like usual. Cruz and Kenna on his sides. Sky by Cruz. And Storm by Kenna. Jack was bragging about this new boat he was thinking of buying. Cruz picked at her breakfast. Storm noticed. "Hey babe?. You okay?" He asked across the table. Cruz glanced up with a frown. "Um.. I'm.." Her eyes widened and she blushed red. Storm cocked his head a bit. Cruz smiled fakely "I'm okay!.. I promise!.." she chuckled a bit. Storm wasn't convinced.
So everyone continued to eat. Sky spoke up. "I really want to ride a horse today dad? Is that okay?" Jackson smiled and answered "Maybe. You aren't scared of them?" Sky smiled and shook her head. Cruz suddenly stood up quickly and exclaimed. "I need to use the restroom!." She ran off. Storm worried. Jack spoke up. "I like her Jackson. That one has guts." Storm glared. Jack stood up "I'll check on her. Don't worry." Storm stood up and spoke "No. she's my fiancé. I'll go." He left. Jack sat back down.
He knocked on the door of the bathroom. "Cruz? Are you just?.. sick?..". He heard her crying a bit. "Babe?.." he asked again. She didn't open the door. It was locked. Storm was confused. "Just tell me what's wrong please?" Cruz sobbed. She opened the door. She pulled Storm inside. She cried into his chest. Storm was concerned. "Hey are you okay?" Maybe this was normal in pregnancy. Cruz sniffles and wiped her few tears and answered. "Can we please go home. Now..". Storm started to guess. "What happened?" He asked. Cruz sighed. "I can't talk to you about it..I just wanna go home..". Storm sighed. "My dad did something? Didn't he?" Cruz stared. She didn't answer. But her face said it all. Storm grew furious. Storm looked into Cruz's eyes and asked. "Did he touch you?!" He yelled. Cruz answered. "A little.. he tried to blackmail me to sleep with him!?.." she cried out. Storm took a deep breath. "Go up stairs and pack. I'll send sky up. I'm gonna have a talk with my dad." Cruz nodded. They both left. Storm made sure Cruz went up the stairs.
Jackson thought for a moment of how to handle this. He was so sick of his father taking women and treating them like this. Cruz. Not Cruz! Cruz was in a Sense sacred to Jackson. No one! No one touched her and disrespected her! Jackson wanted to burn the house down. But he took a deep breath. He walked back into the dining room to the huge long table.
Jack smiled and asked "How is she?" Storm held his temper. "Sky. Cruz wants you up stairs please." Sky complained "But I was talking to Papa Jack about."- "Now Sky!" He yelled. Kenna's eyes widened. Sky jumped out the chair and left. Jack leaned in his chair. He started to suspect Cruz told him. He sighed. Storm grabbed the last biscuit on the Silver platter on the table. He played with it in his hands a bit. Tossing it. He spoke up. "So. You like Cruz? Think she will do well as future daughter in law? You to right Kenna?" Kenna smiled. "Ofcorse Jacky!" Jack didn't answer. He was catching on. Storm placed the biscuit down onto Cruz's plate as he continued "What do you think Jack? Want anymore grandchildren?.. family Christmas? Thanksgiving? Or you not that kind of man? I mean you'd get to see Cruz every Holiday." Jack opened his mouth to reply but Storm continued. "We could have the most beautiful wedding with you funding it." Jack nodded. Kenna asked "Does that mean you'll have it here!?" She asked excitedly. Storm chuckled a bit with a smile. "Maybe. We could use fancy silver like this platter. It would look so elegant!" He seemed happy. Jack smiled and answered his son "Well that would be great! Why not stay here until the wedding! I would love to have you and Cruz stay a few more weeks!" Storm chuckled. "I bet you would." Storm twisted the silver trey platter in his hands. He blowed in it and wiped the fog. He smiled and showed his dad and Kenna "Just shining her up." He chuckled. Jack smiled. Storm suddenly reared back and smacked his dad across the face with it hard! It made a ringing sound and loud ding on the floor. Jack didn't expect it. It wasn't hard enough to knock Jack out of the chair though. Storm yelled "What is wrong with you!? Your my dad!" Jack blocked his face from Storm. It only enraged his son more.
"Did you really think I wouldn't find out! I know about each girl!?" Storm leaned in by his dads ear and spoke. "I almost wish you touched her in front of me. I would have enjoyed seeing your face getting caught." Jack swollowed hard. His son had never been threatening with him before. Jackson slapped the back of his fathers head. "We are gonna be going. But first. Cruz!" He called. "Get down here. Just you!" Storm stood close to his dad. Kenna stood up with a worried face. Storm yelled "Sit down! You know he tried to sleep with Cruz? Yeah see for my dad. No one is good enough." CruzCame down.
Storm smiled and grabbed his dads hair "apologize." Jack glared at his son. He took to long. Jackson slammed his face into the table "Say you're sorry!" Jack threw his hands up. His nose was bleeding. "Okay!.. I'm sorry!..". Storm let go and asked Cruz who was frozen a little scared. "Did he do anything else. Say anything else?" Cruz stared at Jack who was giving her a deathly stare. Cruz swollowed hard and answered "Um.. he.. he said he'd.. go public with some.. photos of me if I told you..". She frowned. Storm nodded. He got on his dads face and asked him "If I even see one dirty photo of my girl out there. I'm gonna know it was you. And i will come back here and finish you." Jack yelled. "Just like you finished your mom!?" Storm became furious. He grabbed jacks hair and slammed his face into the table two more times and then lifted him out the chair by his shirt and slammed him against the wall. "I have dreamed of this moment so many times!" Jack then yelled at Storm "What!? That you'd grow a pair to stand up to me!?" Cruz yelled "Jackson stop! He's not worth it. Let's go home! Please!" Jack laughed a bit "You don't even have a car!" Storm forgot about the car.. he slammed his dad against the wall. "I'm sure you won't mind us taking one of yours..". He let his dad go and walked off with Cruz.
Sky was waiting for them. "Come on Sky. We are leaving!" Jackson yelled. Sky asked "What did Grandpa Jack do?.." Cruz spoke up "We can explain later..". Sky asked "I heard him say those things.. daddy did you hurt your mom?.." Jackson froze. He stared down at Sky. Pain and hurt and anger inside his heart right now. "Sky.. it's.. not like that?.. I'll explain to you later. Let's go home.. okay?" Sky frowned and nodded.
They grabbed Sky and got into one of his fathers cars. Jack came out. He stood in front the car. "Jackson Wait!" Storm started the car. He revved it up. Sky stared. "Are you gonna run over him?" Storm thought about it. He backed out the garage and left. A few hours in and Sky was passed out in the back seat. Cruz asked..
"Jackson?.. what did your dad mean by how you finished your mom?..". Storm stared.. he frowned.. he took a deep breath and answered. "It's my fault she died." Cruz replied. "I thought you said it was a car accident?" Storm nodded and explained. "Yeah it was but.. she wouldn't of been in that car if it wasn't for me." Cruz rubbed his shoulder. She kissed his cheek. Storm smiled a bit. Cruz fell asleep before to much longer. They made it home..
