This is the last chapter. It is done in sort of drabbles of eth future for our two love birds. Thanks to all those who have reviewed and to those who do. I already have a idea for another Jack/Riddick story.
Chapter 7
"It will work Jack, I swear." Riddick to hold of jacks hand as they waited for the surgeon to arrive. It had been two years since Riddick return to find Jack have dead. They had talked all day after she had recovered enough to stay awake long enough to do so. Jack had insistent that from now on they spoke about everything and together they would work through it. So far it was working. Jack had learnt to tell when he was feeling insecure and reassured him. And he had learnt to trust her and to rely on, she wasn't just the woman he loved and protected any more, she was his partner. His equal.
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
but it doesn't stop the pain.
"I'm scared." Jack whispered. They was in a back alley medical centre, three months ago jack had felt empty. She had been denied the chance to give something back to the world and it started to rip her apart.
Riddick had noticed the change in her and had fought it out of her. She wanted to be a mum, not just any mum, the mother to his child.
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Riddick had left the house they had moved to after being reunited, the apartment held to many memories they would rather forget. It was hours until he had returned. Jack was left thinking he had been upset by what he said but when he returned there was a grin on his face. "In three months time make sure you have an over night bag ready."
He went on to explain about a no questions asked medical centre, they could fix her. Make her whole. It would seem that could take the cells from the intact side and regenerate them to replace the dead cells.
Jack couldn't explain to him how amazing he could be at times.
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
"Nah, you're a fighter jack. It will be a pinch of salt." Riddick smiled as the surgeon entered the small room they were in. The doctor explained how he was going to perform the operation and the recover they could expect. Once all questions were answered the surgeon left so Jack could prepare for the operation. "I know its not a high class place jack but they are good. Your safe with them."
"I know. I love you."
"Not as much as I do you." Riddick kissed her softly on her forehead. "You'll be a mummy at the end of the year."
I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
"It hurts so much!" Jack screamed clutching her stomach, hot angry tears falling from her eyes.
"What's happened to her?" Riddick demanded from the staff. It was just hours after the operation. She wasn't meant to be in pain. His Jack was not meant to fell pain ever again.
"Its an infection. It will clear up. I promise." The woman voice wavered as she spoke.
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' Crazy
"How are you feeling?" Riddick kissed her hot sweaty skin. She had been in and out of fever for the past three weeks. The infection was finally gone, now all she had to do was to get better.
"Like I've had better days. I love you."
"Me too babes, me too."
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
"So when do you wanna start trying?" Jack had been back at home for four days. She had fully recovered. At the moment she had just returned from the bathroom now only clothed in the underwear that she knew was his favorite.
"You know was told to wait until your...er…woman stuff has happened regularly three times."
"No harm in practicing."
"I don't need practice."
"Wanna prove it?"
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
"Its blue." Jack said holding the white wand in her hand. "You would of thought that if they could reconstruct your organs they would have found a more effective way to test this."
"Jack." Riddick said warningly. "What's the result?"
"You better get used to the name daddy!" Jack squealed as Riddick rushed to her and grabbed her.
"How about you getting used to the title of Mrs. Richard. D. Riddick?"
"I was thinking more of you being Mr. Jack. B. Badd."
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
"That's it! You can do it! One last push!" The nurse encouraged to the panting Jack.
"Jack your doing so well!" Riddick grinned.
"That's easy for you to say." Jack panted, her face was red and her hair was matted to it.
"I've had to put up with your mood swings." He replied.
"I can see the head. Just one more gentle push." The nurse face broke out into a smile as Jack pushed once more. A quiet cry filled the room "You have a lovely girl Mr and Mrs Roberts."
"I love you jack."
"I love you more."
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
"What do you mean again?" Riddick answered, shock on his face.
"Well…when two grown-ups don't use the needed requirements to protect against these things…" Jack smiled, walking over to Riddick. "It will be great for her to have a baby brother or sister."
"Great for her, but I've got nine months of your hormones to cope with." Riddick rubbed his aging face.
"Just be glad she's not a baby no more." Jack moved back so she could see his face. "Are you happy? Do you want it?"
"I want every thing with you Jack. You're my angel." His face broke out in a smile. "We're a family. I couldnt been even happyier."
"I love you Riddick."
"And I you."
Fin.
