(Disclaimer: I own none of the Pitch Black or the COR characters. I wouldn't mind owning Riddick though.)

"NO!!!!!!" Jack screamed at Riddick before he struck. Riddick's arm stopped about 16th of an inch from the mans chest. Riddick's eyes on James in hate. "Please don't hurt him."

"Why not? He hurt you." Riddick retorted.

"So did you." Jack agonized with tears in her eyes, as Riddick turned his head to show her the left side of his face.

"I love you. He didn't care if you lived or died. It took him years to find you. I've only hit you for three months; he hit you for three years."

"He's my dad; I can't let you kill him without necessary means." Jack walked up next to Riddick and wrapped her hand around his hand holding the shiv. She used her other hand to catch the shiv as his fingers loosened their hold. "Riddick take a seat on the couch and I want you out." Jack exclaimed to her dad pointing out the door as Riddick took a seat on the couch. "And I never want to see you again." Jack hung her head looking at her shoes. James lifted a fist and swung at Jack splitting her lip and sending blood flying across the room. Jack rubbed her hand across her chin wiping away the freshly shed blood.

"I want you to never speak to me like that again." James pointed to her as if she had gotten into the cookies before dinner.

"Leave...Or I'll let Riddick do what he wants with you."

"I'm not leaving without you."

"Riddick..." Jack walked over to Riddick sitting on the couch and handed him the shiv. "Don't do anything that's not necessary if you don't have to, I know how irrational you get." Jack sat down next to where Riddick had been sitting.

"Let's talk outside." Riddick's voice boomed in anger and he led the small man outside into the cold rain. "We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way."

"My daughter will leave with me." The scraggily man attempted a swing at Riddick but he ducked and slid the shiv across his legs barley penetrating the skin so he was immobile and weak.

"Want to leave while you're still breathing?"

"She's not staying with a killer."

"Don't push it."

"You're scum with a pinch of murderer. You kill to eliminate competition."

"You have a lot of guts... Let's see what they look like." Riddick plunged the shiv into James' gut as blood flowed from the wound killing the man. "I warned him." Riddick walked back into the house shutting the door behind him. He stood there dripping wet as Jack wrapped her tiny, scared arms around the masculint man. "I...I didn't want him coming back."

"I'd rather have your hands on me then his." Jack reached for one of his hands that hung at his side water dripping to the floor and pulled it to her face. "I love you Riddick." Riddick wanted to tell her how not being with her tore him up inside. He didn't think he could ever live without her, but he didn't think he could reveal his feelings for her; so he remained silent.

The two lived in peace for a while then Riddick popped the question.

"Jack?" Riddick chimed in his deep voice to his love as he entered their bedroom.

"Yes." Jack laughed knowingly that Riddick had some good news.

"Will you marry me?" Riddick stood towering over her tiny body sitting on the bed.

"I...y..." She couldn't get the words out she was in such shock.

"Nod once for "No" and twice for "Yes"" Riddick said taking a step back as Jack stood up.

"Yes!" She screamed excitedly at the top of her lungs, as she jumped into Riddick's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist; kissing him.

four months later

"Riddick?"

"Yeah?" Riddick asked sleep still in his eyes.

"Will you go pick up some sardines please, we seem to be out?" Jack stood on Riddick's side of the bed holding an empty sardine can in one hand a fork in the other.

"Can you wait till morning?" Riddick mumbled turning over.

"No I'm craving them now." Riddick turned back over.

"I could make you carry this baby." Jack told him as he got out of bed; putting on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. He walked down the stairs stumbling over a baby toy and falling down the remaining stairs. He walked to the convenient store on the corner and bought her a whole bag of sardines. When he walked in the front door he noticed toys scattered all over the place. He didn't think anything about it. He just tried not falling over another one. He made his way into the kitchen setting the bag on the counter grabbing one can out of the bag and carrying it upstairs to his pregnant wife. When he walked into the room he never expected to find what he found. The can slipped from his fingers hitting the carpeted floor with a thud.

"Jack!" Riddick ran to a bloody body on the floor by the window. "What happened?"

"He..." She coughed up so much blood. "You..." she couldn't finish the sentence there was too much pain. "I forgive you." her last breath left her. Riddick held Jacks lifeless body in his arms.
