! My friend Dillion sent me something on MSN, and along with it he gave me a program with SPELL CHECK. Finally! lol so 99.9 of the spelling is corrrect. :-P

I got out a day or so later, with a sore neck and a broken right arm and right wrist. My ankle was hurting, but not so much that it would really slow me down. I was sitting down on the couch, clenching onto my wrist. Jak sat down beside me and held my broken wrist gently.

"Does it hurt?" He asked softly. I frowned, "It just aches." Jak just remembered something, and his eyes lit up. He looked back at me again. "You should get your rest. I godda go." I looked at him flatly, with my eyebrow raised. Jak just grinned and gave me a brief kiss, getting up and walking off. Before he went out the door he turned out at me again. "Laona, I love you." He said, walking out of the apartment. I smiled weakly, and looked down.

Wow I don't hear that very often.

Jak rushed over to the Naughty Ottsil on a zoomer. He spotted Torn in front of the building. Torn waved, seeing Jak driving towards him. Jak stopped his vehicle once he was near Torn. He leaped off, and said, "Sorry, I nearly forgot." "That's forgivable." Torn grinned. Ashlin walked outside, spotting the two men standing outside.

"Daxter is almost done with the balloons and the net on the ceiling. Tess is painting a happy birthday sign, and I've already ordered a cake. It should be here in 10 minutes." She said in a cheerful tone. Jak forgot the one thing that he wanted to do for the party. Tell the news. He and the doctor only knew, remember? Jak spoke up.

"I want to give out some news before the party starts. You guys should know before her, because I want her to be the only one that doesn't know until I tell her." Everyone turned to Jak. He got a little pressured, with everyone looking at him even if it was just too people. He took a deep breath, and said quietly, "She's pregnant." Torn stared at Jak dumbly, not believing his ears. Ashlin rose her eyebrow and crossed her arms leaning to one side. She looked in a way, pleased about the news.

"Uh.. Are you sure?" Torn asked, putting his hands on his hips. Jak grinned, and nodded. "I wanted to keep it a secret until tonight. She conceived just a few days ago."

"Congratulations." Ashlin laughed quietly.

"WHAT!" Daxter shrieked, nearly laughing. Jak grinned widely, seeing his little friend's expression. "I thought I'd never see the day you'd be a father." Torn said, with a week smile. Jak shrugged. "Me neither." Jak admitted. "Wroaaaagh! Have I heard correct? Or did Onin play tricks on me again!" Pecker came into the scene, with Sig carrying Onin over to the bar table. "Heard what?" Tess asked, rubbing Daxter's shoulders in effort to keep him from overventalating.

"That Laona is expecting, stupid!" Pecker spat, landing on the bar table next to Jak, glaring at him. Jak nodded. "Why I'll be a monkeys uncle!" Sig laughed, sitting down. Pecker glared at Sig, feeling a little insulted.

"Congratulations, cherry!"

A delivery man walked in the door with a large white cake. He was quite nerdy with glasses like Vins, with a funny spiky purple hair cut in a white uniform.

"Erm, Birthday Cake for an Ashlin Praxis?"

Ashlin smiled, raising her hand and walking towards the man to pay for the cake. "Thank you." She smiled, taking it. "Have a good day." He said, walking out. Ashlin carried the cake over to the table, sitting it next to Daxter. He perked up, seeing the cake. "Dax, why are you so devastated?" Jak asked. "Because once you have a little kid around you're not going to have any time for me." He whined.

"You haven't really spending much time with me anyway lately, so why should it be a huge deal?"

Daxter looked at him. "We're over due to hang out, Jak."

"Onin says that she already knows much about your child already, Jak. She's seen what is to be in the future. Do you wish to learn about your unborn child?"

Jak blinked. "Pecker, this is all new to me. She's just conceived. The thing is microscopic." Pecker rolled his eyes, "Alright then... But don't you wish to know whether it's going to be a boy or girl at least?" Jak looked at Pecker blankly, then at Onin. She was smiling, waving her arms around. He sighed. "Fine." Pecker smirked, looking at Onin to see what she says.

"You are to have a son in nine months."

"Thanks for telling me that." Jak said. Daxter smiled, "Great! Once he's old enough, I'm going to show him how to aim a weapon at metal heads. Uncle Daxter's gonna show 'em all the moves! Hey! That reminds me of when I killed a bunch of Metal heads! They circled around me, razor sharp claws, uglier than a lurker with a bad hair day!"

"Don't make me hurt you." Torn said lowly, glaring at him. "She doesn't know, so don't tell her. I will." Jak commented, letting everyone know. Daxter backed off, shutting up. "Hey! Aren't we supposed to have a surprise birthday party?" Ashlin asked. Jak looked at her, "Yeah!" Torn stood up, and took out his communicator. "I'll ring her up as if there's an emergency mission. Hey Tess, turn off the lights. Everybody hide and someone be near the button that drops the balloons!" Torn said as everybody scrambled around.

Soon as everybody was settled, Torn turned his communicator on and spoke in a serious tone, "Laona to Torn! Laona to Torn! Do you copy?" Tess giggled, but Daxter shushed her with his index finger. At home, I was in my room laying on my bed staring at the ceiling. My communicator was in the other room, and could faintly hear it. I sighed, and got up.

"Laona to Torn, Laona to Torn! Do you read me?"

"I'm up I'm up!" I growled, picking it up.

"What is it, Torn..."

"Come to the Naughty Ottsil, ASAP. We have a job to do." I took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"Fine..."

What the f-k... Is there already an outbreak of metal heads in the city already?

I put on my uniform, and rushed over there on a zoomer seeing no metal head in sight. There goes that theory. I leaped off my vehicle, and went inside. It was dark, which kind of concerned me as the door shut. "Uhh... Torn? Jak? Anyone?" I asked, waiting for a sign. Someone flipped on the lights, Tess pressed the button, and everybody jumped out shouting, "Surprise!" Balloons fell everywhere, flooding the place. I covered my mouth, laughing walking backwards a little bit. I spotted Jak, and ran up to him. Everybody including him sang, "Happy Birthday!" He hugged me tight enough to where he lifted me up in the air a little bit. I kissed him, as he put me down. I drew back, and looked at everybody.

"Oh my gosh, guys!" I cheered.

Torn hugged me briefly, and Daxter leaped on my shoulder and hugged my head. He jumped off me and onto Jak. For about 10 minutes, we had cake, and shared some recent stories, laughing. Jak couldn't hold in the news from me any longer. "Hey, Laona I have something to tell you." He said, wrapping his arm around my waist he looked at everybody else, and winked. Torn grinned, and Daxter sighed, smiling weakly. I looked at him curiously. He whispered in my ear, "When you were out of it, they did some blood tests for medical reasons, and... You're pregnant. I didn't want to tell you until today." I blinked, staring blankly at whatever was in front of me. I turned to look at him, a little stunned.

"Are you serious?" I asked quietly. He nodded, stroking my hair.

OMFG OMFG OMFG I'm not dreaming am I! Oh perfect.

I turned to look at everybody. They appeared to be happy for us. That was the one thing I was glad about. But still I was just speechless. I felt like I was going to barf. "Laona?" Jak asked, a little surprised that I wasn't oh so happy. I turned to look at him, and stood up.

"Excuse me..." I said quietly, walking outside. Everybody frowned. "She didn't take it very well." Ashlin commented, breaking the silence. Torn looked at Jak, and sighed.

"Should I or should you?"Jak asked him.

"You're the father. Not me! Why are you askin' me to?" Jak looked down.

"I've already said too much for her to handle."

Torn stood up and grumbled to himself, "Big baby."

I stared at the green star in the sky, and smelled the night air trying to find a way to deal with what had just happened. "Hey, why'd you walk out on us?" Torn said, standing behind me. I looked at him over my shoulder, smiling weakly, then frowned again. "Usually women are happy when they get the news." He said in a comforting tone. He was trying to make me feel better, and I appreciated his efforts dearly. "I... Guess I am. So sudden though." I said quietly, turning my head back at the stars. I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"It was a shocker for us too, when he told us before we rang you up." I turned, facing Torn as he put his hand down.

"He told you guys just tonight?"

He nodded. "Everybody's got your back, Laona." He said quietly.

"Yeah, but... I don't think I'll be-"

"You will be! Don't worry. Think of it as a long term mission."

Torn lifted my chin with his index finger so he could look at me. "Let's just have fun tonight, and worry about the future later, ok?" A moment later, I smiled weakly and nodded.

I feel mentally soooo not ready.

Torn and I walked back inside the Naughty Ottsil, and Jak brightened up, seeing that he had talked me into coming back. Torn advanced ahead of me, going to the back of the bar. Apparently, he was searching for something. "Sorry... I had to take a breather." I sighed, sitting back down next to Jak. Torn popped up from below the bar table, with a box. I looked at it, and then at Torn. Ashlin walked over next to Torn, and wrapped her arm around his torso as he wrapped his arm on her shoulders.

"We got you something that Onin thinks would be most useful in time ahead."

I looked at the box, and brushed the top with my fingers. "Go ahead and open it." Daxter said cheerfully. I smirked, looking at him, then looked back at the box. I put it on my lap, and opened it. A 12 inch light eco crystalloid razor sharp dagger. I lifted it up with the handle and removed the sheath. It was glowing white. "Onin says it's not an ordinary sword. But a healing sword. It cannot kill you, no matter how hard you try. The light eco is concentrated enough to where it can heal any injury." Pecker stated, translating Onin's movements. "Thanks you guys." I said, putting it up. "I don't know what I'd do without you." Jak wrapped his arm around my shoulders, and kissed my forehead. We continued on having fun after that.

Erm... Thats about it right now.

REVIEWS WELCOME. I don't get a lot of them, other than AJMS and Carmen but... yeah. o.O;; lol
