Ch.3

Kurt and Karma had watched Kris leave, when they walked back into the family room, Lani looked up at them,

"Where's Kris" Lani asked

"She had to leave" Kurt said

"What for" Nolo spoke up

"She just had to leave" Karma replied

"Why do I have a feeling that there is something more" Dr. Tezla said, giving them both a glare

Both of them just smiled, figuring to just let it be.

Kris finally reached Mrs. Thomas's house and Jesse was out the door, before Kris could get out the car. He ran towards her and hit her, rapping his arms around her and leaning against her, crying into her chest. He needed her and didn't want to be left behind. Kris looked up and saw Mrs. Thomas at the door. She smiled at Kris, as Kris scooped Jesse up in her arms and walked towards her,

"Thank you" Kris said

"No problem" Mrs. Thomas replied, "Here is his stuff, I hope everything works out"

Kris smiled and gave a slight nod and then turned around and headed back for the car.

Several days later, Kris sat at the desk in the bookstore flipping through papers when the bell on the door rang. Kris looked up and saw Kurt, and Karma walk in. Jesse appeared and seeing Kurt, he gave a squeak and ran towards him. As far as Kris could see it was just Kurt and Karma, but as she walked towards them, she saw they weren't alone. There was Nolo, Markie, Monkey, Vert, and Lani standing there too.

"What are you guys doing here" Kris said

All of them looked over at her and smiled.

"Hey" Vert said

"Hi"

"We came to check the bookstore out" Nolo said

"mmmm"

"mommy" Jesse said

"Yes Dear" Kris said looking at him

Jesse's expression said it all, Kris let out a sigh and looked at them, Markie held a firm expression while Lani, Nolo, and Vert stood there in shock.

"You know it would be alot more comfortable if we go somewhere else and talk" Kris said

Silence hung, so Kris continued,
"I have to close up anyways, my house in 5 minutes, deal"

"Good" Kurt said, "you guys can follow me" turning towards everyone else.

"Can I ride with Uncle Kurt" Jesse asked, looking at Kris

"It is up to him" Kris replied

"You can ride with me" Kurt said

"Yeah!" Jesse gave a cheer and ran off to get his jacket, with January and christmas behind them it was cool outside.

At Kris's house, all of them had settled down. Jesse was in the family room watching cartoons, while the adults were in the kitchen talking. All of them held a cup of coffee in there hands, Markie decided to press the matter first.

"So what happened" Markie said, looking at Kris.

"After the Acceledrome I went to college hoping to find a good career, I met a boy and one night it got crazy...you kind of can fill in the blanks from there" Kris said

"Did you tell him" Lani said

"He left before I could"

Karma had walked over and wrapped a arm around her, "Here we are getting married and you already have a kid" Vert said

"I'm happy you guys are getting married, don't put your life on hold for me"

Jesse all of a sudden ran in, his blonde hair flopped into his eyes as he ran for Kurt. Hitting him around the legs, Kurt looked down. Jesse looked up and smiled, Markie leaned down and grabbed him, Jesse seemd a little shocked and looked over at Kris, and then looked back up at Markie.

"Jesse" Kris said, having Jesse look at her, "Jesse, meet your other Uncle"

Jess looked at his mother and gave her a wide eye look. Kris gave a reassured smile towards him and Jesse seemed to understand what his mom was saying.

Kurt walked over and grabbed Jesse from Markie's arms. Tossing him up in the air and catchimg him with ease. Jesse gave a slight giggle and then looked over at Markie. Markie was wearing a grin, as Kris filled Jesse in on some stuff. Karma and Lani had stuck close, and Kris had a feeling about how Jesse and Markie were going to get along just fine. Little did she know who was going to come calling...
