Chapter 22
I read this review and it made me laugh out loud.
EB: I'm so confused...Why does April have so many exes?
The answer to that is she's a 300 year old vampire. She gets around. The same with Jack. His exs might show up too*HINT HINT*
Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It.
"It's been two weeks and I feel left out of something really big. April won't talk to me when I see her in the hallway and Jerry is always in his room. But it seems like something is making him angry because that other side of him is coming out earlier than usual. Milton is getting better. He's eating and talks every once and a while but he's usually in his room or in the living room watching TV. I mean I talk to Jack of course but he won't tell me what's wrong with April or Jerry."
Kim sighed; she suddenly felt the need to throw up. She quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. She threw up in the toilet. When she was done she sat on the cold ground.
"That's the second time in a row. Feeling sick in the morning that is."
"It's morning sickness." Kim looked up to April looking down at her.
"What?" Kim asked.
"Don't you feel it growing inside?"
"What?" Kim repeated.
"Ask Jack. I'm sure he'd love to tell you. I remind right now, don't come crying to me. Because I know what he'll say will break your heart." April said coldly as she walked away.
Kim got up. She went down stairs and saw Jack watching TV. Kim walked in front of him, blocking his vision from the TV. Kim crossed her arms.
"I know you heard me and April talking. What was she talking about?"
"Well, good morning to you to."
"Jack!" Kim snapped.
Jack got up and put his hands on Kim's shoulders. He took a deep breath.
"Kim…you're…you're pregnant." Jack said.
Kim's eyes widen. "Wh-what?"
"I'm-"
"We can make this work right? I mean I could just have to get home schooled. I'm not getting an abortion. We can-can work hard and we'll have to tell my-"
"Kim, you didn't let me finish." Jack interrupted and Kim stayed silent. "Um…I'm a vampire and you're a human…"
"Yes I know our different species."
"Vampires are technically dead…our sperm can only go so far." Jack paused. "If you were a vampire you wouldn't have to go through this, but seen you're human with working ovaries…the baby will die soon before birth."
Kim frowned and she felt tears build up.
"But-but what if I were a vampire." Kim whispered her voice cracking.
"It wouldn't make a difference. You would be dead, your eggs wouldn't work. You can't have any babies with me. I'm sorry."
Jack tried to pull Kim into a hug but she back away.
"Why didn't you tell?" She asked, trying not to break out into tears.
"Um, because I thought I pulled out and prayed correctly. DON'T SAY THAT!" Jack thought.
"I didn't want to break your heart like this." Jack said.
"Yep, that's better." Jack thought.
"Well, you did. You should have told me I'd loss a baby."
"I'm not use to having sex with humans. I always finish inside, knowing that vampires can't get pregnant. I may screw up again, so this might not be the first baby. DON'T SAY THAT!" Jack thought.
"I'm sorry."
Kim finally started crying and ran up to her room.
"Don't follow." Kim messaged Jack.
Jack heard laughing. He turned to see April.
"Those pregnancy hormones are going to kill you." April said cracking up.
"Shut up April." Jack growled.
"In all seriousness, you should have told her before you did it." April suddenly got serious.
"And you should be talking to Jerry about what you did two weeks ago! I guess were both doing things wrong!" Jack snapped.
"Don't bring me into this stupid pregnancy thing. This is about your mistake not mine." April said coldly.
"No, no I want to talk about your mistake now, pretty little Miss Perfect. It's been two weeks when are you going to talk to him?"
April glared. "What do you think I've been trying to do everyday?! He somehow found a way to block my mind connection with him and when I say hi he glares and walks away! Heck, I wasn't even that bad to you when you came back!" April exclaimed frustrated.
She though herself on the couch and sat down putting her head in her hand. Jack sat next to her. Jack heard something muffled.
"Is that-no it can't be. Is she crying? She only cries over Kim and nothing else…well, there is pain, but that's different. She must really care for Jerry." Jack thought.
Jack rubbed her back. "Come here."
April willingly leaned against Jack and cried into his chest. Jack rested his chin on her head and rubbed her back.
"Shhh, it's going to be okay, Jerry with come around soon. I promise you that." Jack said softly.
April nodded, but still cried. "Sometimes I wish I was one of the heartless vampires so I wouldn't have these stupid emotions." April muttered.
"Don't say that April. Those types of vampires do have emotions. Anger and grief are what they have. It builds up inside of them…and they end up hurting loved ones."
"You were heartless at first. Why couldn't I be like that? I would be some much stronger without emotions. Why didn't you rub off on me? You should have." April said.
"You don't want that life." Jack said wisely.
"Yes I do."
"No you don't! That life would be terrible for a girl like you! All that anger will destroy you and corrupt your mind! You'll hate the ones closest to you for no reason…"
April wrapped her arms around Jack. "Sorry, I didn't think about that way."
Jack sighed. "Why do you have these moments?"
"What?" April looked up at him.
"You have these moments where you get all soft. You're the toughest person I know."
"Everybody has their moments Jack. It just happens when everything comes knocking at the door and then slaps you right in the face. It's called a reality check and one just hit me hard." April explained.
"Yeah, I know, but just do me a favor and remember that you can make it through anything. You've been through worse than this. Don't cry over a boy."
April smiled lightly. "You sound like the father…I never had." April said frowning.
"I'm sorry." Jack said hugging April.
"Don't be it's not your fault…more like your father."
Jack yawned and so did April.
"I'm sleepy?" April asked slowly losing her senses.
"Me too…why?" Jack yawned again
April sniffed. "Vam…pire…here. Sleepy spell."
"Hav…to get…Kim." Jack said sleepily.
April got up using all her strength. She staggered around the living room; she was dizzy. She made it to the bottom of the stairs before tripped and fell on her stomach. She groaned.
"Kim." She muttered.
She looked behind her and saw Jack fast asleep.
"No, Jack, wake up." She whispered.
She was slowly losing her voice and her eyelids felt heavy. Everything was too dizzy; she could take it anymore so she closed her eyes. April heard the door getting kicked in. She struggled but got her eyes opened again. She saw a tall silhouette and some blonde hair.
"April, go to sleep." He said and then snapped his fingers.
She immediately blacked out.
Jack woke up and tried to jolt up but something was holding him down by his wrists and ankles. He opened his eyes and looked around. He realized he was chained to a steel table.
Jack saw stakes on the wall and other torture tools on one side. On the other he saw April in chained to a table too. They were a foot apart.
"Vampire hunter, that's want I meant. Vampire hunter." April said blankly, looking up at the ceiling.
"I though they were a myth." Jack said confused.
"They've been laying low for centuries. They still kill, but they just blamed me for their killings when I really got into protecting Kim." April explained.
"Let's just get out of here."
"Don't try it. The chains have garlic on them. When you try to pull you'll burn your flesh off. Even if we somehow make it through that there's a censer. If we break out, stakes will come toward us from every angle." April explained.
"How do you know?" Jack questioned.
"I've been in this situation before."
"Wha-"
"Kim's family. They're vampire hunters."
That's all for the Chapter with my usual plot twist. Did you like it? Review, follow, and favorite please! Thank you! Oh and sorry for the whole baby dying before birth. The pregnancy in general just reminded me too much of Twilight so there's my twist.
