Uh yeah. I revive this fic in honour of the ELEX II trailers. After knowing that they did a "canon ending" and a "canon romance" for Jax for ELEX II I had the idea for this very short and very stupid little bonus chapter for "my" Jax.
I will definitely play ELEX II, though. I will also definitely drop Caja in an instant, no matter if they force her romance on us or not.
Anyway take this little, stupid dialogue and Jax might be a bit uber dense in it so don't take it all too seriously ;)


Jax stared at the crib. A baby. There was a tiny baby inside. He'd never seen one, really. What a weak little thing. It smelled strange; Jax wasn't sure he liked it.

"So... uh..." he started and pointed with one raised eyebrow at the crib.

Caja took in a deep breath and nodded. She had to keep a straight and stern face. It was important.

"Yes. It's yours."

"Mine." Jax slowly pointed now at himself, staring at Caja. He tried hard to read her, tried to find out if she told the truth or if she was lying, Was that really possible? "But... how?" he wanted to know. Truth be told, Jax had no clue where babies came from. Wasn't something they taught at Alb school. New Alb got recruited by kidnapping young children and feeding them with Elex, that's how things worked.

Caja watched him carefully. "You never had sex, right?"

Jax shook his head. Not that he knew of. Well he and Falk had done some... things in the bedroom and those things had felt good but sex, just the word sounded more like something far more biological. Something to make babies.

Caja took in a deep breath again. "So... you wouldn't be aware if we had... done it. Right? That we slept together?"

Jax crossed his arms over his chest and frowned. Slept together? He had heard people using that term. Wait... was that what sex meant? To sleep together?

"Hmm," he hummed, "you mean that one time where we slept next to each other on that bed in the small cabin, when there's been a raging storm outside?"

They've been sleeping together in a bed back then, after all.

Caja blinked slowly but then nodded, still with a straight face.

"Uh... yes. Yes, that one time."

Jax suddenly got pale, very pale and his eyes widened. Hastily he started to pack his things.

"Jax? W-what's wrong? Where are you going?" Caja wanted to know.

"I need to check in with Nasty. And Ray. And Duras. And Falk! Fuck... I slept so often next to Falk, who knows how many babies he has! Can a robot have a baby? Caja, tell me!"

Instead of telling him anything, Caja just stared at Jax. Maybe she should've just been honest from the start. Maybe she should've just told him that there had been this one night with Duras, where she and him just had been so drunk...

On the other hand...

It was quite funny to see Jax like this.

And also she kinda needed help with the kid.

So maybe...

Maybe she would enjoy this sight just a little bit longer.
