Upon arriving home, Jessi and Kyle found that Niccole and Stephen were both home along with, Hillarie, Lori, Andy, Josh, and Declan.

"We'll be able to tell them all in one night." Kyle said already looking exhausted.

Jessi sighed. "Then we're in for the longest night ever."

"Yeah, I know."

"Should we tell them all at once, or person by person?"

"I have a better idea; we should probably start with Josh and Andy, then Declan, Hillary, and Lori, and end with Stephen and Niccole."

"Why do you want to do it like that?"

"Well Stephen and Niccole will take the most time to explain while Josh and Andy will take the shortest."

"If you say so Jessi." Kyle stated.

Jessi smiled, "Let's get started then."


"So you guys are together now?" Andy asked

"Yeah, well at least after we tell everyone so." Kyle answered.

"Hmm…so the super genetic experiments finally get together, I wonder how strange your kids will be." Josh laughed.

"Josh." Andy hit him upside his head.

"Sorry sorry, it's just funny."

Kyle and Jessi raised their eyebrows. Josh saw this. "…sorry."

"It's fine."

"So who are you going to tell next?" Andy asked.

"Hillarie, Declan, and Lori." Jessi told them.

"Good luck with that." Josh smiled.

"Congratulations." Andy smiled as well.

"Thanks."

Jessi and Kyle left the two of them in the living room.

"On wards to Lori and the others." Jessi announced happily yet somewhat sarcastically. Kyle sighed.


After explaining the events of the night and today the reactions they got we're amusing;

"HOLY CRAP!" Lori said almost speechlessly yet very loudly.

"Yay Buttercup is happy now." Hillarie added cheerfully. "Too bad for Dean though."

Declan looked annoyed at the two girls covering his ears at their reactions. "Should have told me alone." He said eyeing Hillarie who was now bouncing up and down.

"What about Dean? And Amanda?" Lori asked somewhat annoyed at Kyle and Jessi knowing that if they were together then Dean and Amanda would be hurt.

"Dean and I ended whatever kind of relationship we had today…so now we're just friends." Lori eyed her as she said this and when they made eye contact Lori knew she was hiding the important details. 'Later' she mouthed. Jessi just nodded.

"And Amanda and I ended our relationship early, she said that we pushed ourselves into this relationship without really thinking things through so she told me to be with the person I needed and she would try to find the person she would need." Declan saw his hesitation in telling this.

"So you two are together now?" Declan asked changing the subject.

"After we tell Niccole and Stephen, we will be."

"What if they disagree with your guys' choice?" Hillarie questioned.

"Jessi and I will not be with each other officially but once we move out and graduate we will continue this relationship." Lori saw Jessi frown at this but she nodded in agreement, Lori smiled at this, Jessi wanted this so much but was willing to put if off to respect their wishes.

"Well then we're behind you all the way." Lori smiled. They were all somewhat surprised by Lori acceptance of this, Lori explained "I just want you guys to be happy and while I am irritated that you guys hurt Dean and Amanda, I can't help but want you two to be happy and if this makes you happy, who am I to ruin it."

"Good luck lovebirds." Hillarie smiled broadly at them.

"Ever do something that surprises us, tell me alone." Declan sighed. They all laughed amused at each other.

"Now; Stephen and Niccole."

"Have fun." Lori told them sarcastically.

Kyle and Jessi headed to their adopted parents room, hoping they would be as accepting about this as the others were.

"Umm…Niccole, Stephen." Kyle said hesitant as he knocked at the door.

"Oh Kyle come in." They heard Niccole say.

The two of them went inside unsure of what to expect. Niccole and Stephen were shocked to see Jessi was following behind Kyle; they hadn't seen the two together alone in quite some time.

"We have something to tell you." Kyle told them.

"What is it Kyle?" Stephen asked.

"Jessi and I will like…to ask your permission to…" Kyle was unsure if he could finish.

"…If we could be together in a relationship." Jessi told them without any hesitation.

As blunt as always. Kyle smirked at this.

Stephen and Niccole were flabbergasted. "Uh…I don't know what to say Kyle. Jessi." Niccole said.

"It's just that…I love Jessi and I understand how you guys feel, really I do but I know that you guys could trust us…please allow us to be together."

"Kyle is right, I know that sometimes I just act out on my own but I promise you me and Kyle can make this work, please, because I feel exactly like he does, I love Kyle." Jessi told them feeling the tears behind her eyes, she glanced at Kyle; his eyes were hopeful and full of love. Kyle saw that her eyes were the same; love glistening inside of her beautiful swirls of light green eyes.

Niccole and Stephen both saw the looks they were giving each other; even without touching each other the intimacy was greater than any more romance. Both of sighed internally and then looked at one another; it would be harder to keep them separate. Stephen finally broke the silence and the look. "Fine, as long as you obey a few of our rules then it's fine with us."

Both of their eyes lit up at those words. "Okay." They both agreed.

Niccole knew they would be willing to give up things to make this work and couldn't put it off any longer. "Rule number 1: Don't let us find you in a compromising situation; I hope you both know what I mean by this." Both nodded.

"Good, Rule number 2: Please try not to broadcast to any public officials about this living situation; it will save us a lot of unneeded questions." Kyle and Jessi both seem to get this as well.

"Finally Rule number 3: We're trusting you so please don't do anything that would jeopardize this family or your relationship with each other."

"We promise to stick to your rules, right Jessi?"

"Right, we'll abide to them." Jessi smiled.

"Good, then you can go." Stephen smiled back.

"Thank you Stephen." Kyle hugged him. "And you Niccole." He said while hugging her. Jessi followed behind him hugging and thanking both of them; the gratitude was clear on her face and the happiness of having them accepting this. Kyle and Jessi left the room only to find the Josh, Andy, Lori, Hillarie, and Declan standing there obviously listening in on their conversation. Rather than come up with excuse for this they all gave turns in congratulating and hugging them.

Kyle and Jessi we're exhausted by the end of the night. Jessi fell asleep in the middle of the movie her head on Kyle's shoulder snuggling close to him. Andy and Hillarie had left to go home leaving Josh, who had gone to bed shortly after their departure, and Lori, who was nodding off as well, and Declan who sat in silence watching the movie.

Declan looked to Lori and decided it was time to get her to bed. "I'll cover this one." He told Kyle you get her, nodding to Jessi. Kyle just smiled, Kyle had always known that Declan had strong feelings for Lori, who he was now holding in his arms and carrying up the stairs.

Kyle himself picked Jessi up and carried her to her room setting her on her bed with the utmost gentleness and care. He looked at his sleeping beauty in the moonlight and couldn't help but admire her features, she looked like a goddess. My goddess. Kyle leaned down and kissed her forehead, then the tip of her nose and finally her lips. I love the feel of her lips; so soft and tender. "Kyle." He heard her mumble his name. "I love you."

Kyle smiled. "I love you too Jessi." He lay next to her and she snuggled on his chest. He noticed how perfectly she fit next to him and couldn't help but wonder how he could have ever mistaken this for only friendship. "Always." Together they feel asleep loving the warmth and comfort that they offered one another.


The next morning Kyle woke to find his girl still laying their on top of him deep in sleep. He looked at the time which read 7:10, he kissed Jessi's forehead with soft pressure and then gently began to shake her awake. "Jessi…Jessi." He whispered to her.

He saw as her eyes opened, brown today but knowing they would turn green later on. Jessi face lit up smiling brightly as she looked into his warm blue eyes. Seeing this smile lit up Kyle's day, it was breathtaking. He leaned down slightly as she rose to meet his lips and feeling the light next to them shudder as it got deeper. He release her lips knowing that if they didn't stop now the lights would go out, he seemed more aware of the environment around them now as they kissed more often. Jessi too seemed to notice the quivering of the lamp next to them. Kyle was thinking more of the connection between them and the electricity that was there whenever they touched or kissed. If kissing makes lights shudder I wonder what…? Kyle caught himself, turning red at the thought of doing more than just kiss Jessi.

Jessi saw his face turn dark red at a thought, suddenly curious she concentrated on what he was thinking and saw the images he was thinking turning red herself. Kyle, you pervert she thought with a laugh.

Kyle looked down at Jessi she seemed to be concentrating on him. No, she couldn't be…is she reading my thoughts? He turned a darker shade of red at this. "Jessi." Jessi pulled herself out of his thoughts and looked at his eyes. "What did you just do?"

"Nothing." She answered too quickly and too innocently.

"Jessi. You were reading my thoughts weren't you."

"Actually, I was seeing your thoughts." She answered honestly.

"Seeing as in…" He felt as if he was hit in the stomach remembering the intense images of him and Jessi; his grabbing Jessi and pulling her into a kiss, the first day here when he had seen her completely naked. "No. You saw all of that?"

Jessi grinned slightly somewhat afraid that he'll be mad. He recognized the answer immediately. He didn't know what to say and as he searched for an answer he was interrupted as a pair of soft lips kissed him, forgetting everything else he wrapped his arms around her and kissed back roughly. They twisted so that he was on top of her kissing passionately, he suddenly stopped looking at the lamp once again as it flicker on and off.

He sighed looks like the rest of the Trager's were getting up. Jessi heard them too. She pushed him up and stood with him as he walked to her door; she quickly kissed him leaving him breathless once again.

"No compromising positions." She whispered in a very sexy voice. He trembled slightly at this she closed the door slowly leaving him with more thoughts of their previous conversation. This is going to be harder than I thought.

Kyle silently walked to his room and shut the door he stepped into his tub thinking over what had just happened.

Jessi leaned against the door and laughed to herself quietly, then returned to bed and laid in the warmth that Kyle had left. This is the second time he had slept in a bed and both times it was with her; this felt more comforting then the first time when she was too distraught to be happy about this. This time was different, and she loved it.

It was time for breakfast and the family seemed to act the same towards this improvement in Jessi's and Kyle's relationship but she knew they would support them.

"So Jessi, what are you going to do about work?" Lori asked.

"Probably work less hours, I don't really need the money but it good to have something like that on the side." Jessi replied.

Kyle knew he shouldn't feel jealous but he couldn't help it, Dean would be there and it didn't help that Jessi and him were so close.

"What time should you be off then?"

"Probably 1:00." Jessi replied. "Besides I'm not legally supposed to work more than 20 hours a week and the owner was kind of upset that I had. He told me that this week I would have to work less." Jessi continued.

"Cool, it's too bad me and Josh have work today otherwise we could hang out." Lori smiled.

"It's okay." Jessi looked at the clock. "I actually better get going or John (The owner) is going to kill me." Jessi got dressed and ready in a bit of a hurry; she wasn't expecting Dean to pick her up today so when she got a call it surprised her. "Hello?"

"Hey Jessi, it's me. I was wondering if you still needed a ride to work."

"Is that really okay with you?" Jessi asked unsure.

"Yeah it's cool with me, remember what I said, I still want to be friends."

Jessi sighed. "Maybe we should give it some time before we hang out you know so we could get our feelings a little more settled in."

She heard the smile in his voice as he said. "Yeah I understand…thank you Jessi, I'll see you at work."

"See you." She heard the click and then closed her phone.

Jessi turned to see Kyle standing there. "Do you need a ride?"

Jessi smiled. "Sure." Kyle smiled back and relaxed how quickly she agreed to being drove by him.

Jessi went forward seeing the remaining tension in his shoulder, she knew he was acting like this because of her going to work and having to be near Dean, she hugged him. "I'm going to miss you at work." Kyle smiled and held her tightly. She seems to always know what to say.

Jessi pulled back a little and kissed Kyle lips with a bit more force than usual. He felt all of her emotions; her uneasiness with leaving, her longing to stay by his side all day, the happiness she felt when he was with her, everything that screamed her love for him. Kyle relaxed completely under this kiss knowing that Jessi would never do anything to hurt him.

Jessi pulled away from the kiss. "Time for work." She told him.

"Yeah okay." He sighed not wanting to let her go. After some time they arrived at her work. Kyle and Jessi just sat in the car; she turned to him and kissed him lightly on the mouth.

"I'll call you before I get off." Jessi told him.

He smiled. "Yeah okay."

She opened her door. "Love you."

"Love you too."

Jessi closed the door and began walking to the store, upon arriving at the door she turned and waved. He waved back.

Jessi went inside and Kyle start the engine, he drove off and decided he knew what he was going to do with his time while he wait for her to get off work.


Jessi had gone inside to find Dean and Aaron working on different bikes, they both looked up at her entrance. "Hey Jessi." Aaron said, "John said the last one is for you to work on."

"Thanks." Jessi turned to the bike and began setting to work.

"You're welcome." Aaron turned back to his bike. He knew that Jessi and Dean was no longer buddy buddy but that was okay because both Jessi and Dean were mature and wouldn't let this affect the job.


Back at home Kyle was doing some cleaning; he had made the choice that he knew he would feel good about forever. I have to show that there is no confusion in my choice, Jessi is my girl and I want her to be always so the only way to do that is to remove all these items Amanda has given me. And this… Kyle took down the picture of Amanda and instead replaced it with one of Jessi when she was gazing down at him in the forest of their birth. Placing everything that had once been important because he received them from Amanda in a box, he decided that now would be as good a time as ever to return this kind of stuff to her.

Kyle walked to her door and heard the music playing in the background, he loved the piano and how both Amanda and Jessi played, and it amazed him how different their styles could be. He knocked at the door and the heard the playing stop, Amanda opened the door seconds later.

"Kyle." She said softly.

"Hi Amanda." Kyle replied.

"What are you doing here?"

"I…I can to return this stuff." Kyle answered.

Amanda looked at the box and then smiled. She opened the door wider and Kyle saw that there too was a box for him. "Fresh start."

"Yeah, no confusion this time."

Amanda nodded. "Good."

"Thank you for understanding Amanda."

Amanda smiled softly. "Just be happy and follow your heart." She told him.

"I will…and there will always be a place for you in my heart." He smiled.

"It's the same for you Kyle." She took the box from his hands and placed it on the floor near his. He grabbed his box and began walking to the door. "You…" Kyle turned. "You and Jessi are together now?"

"Yeah."

Amanda nodded. "Don't let her go this time."

"I won't."

"Goodbye Kyle." She said as she touched the door handle.

"Goodbye Amanda." Kyle turned and returned to his house never looking back.

It was 12:45 when Kyle got a call from Jessi asking if he would come pick her up.

"I'll love to." He looked around his room; it was once again set up so that there would be no confusion in which he picked.

Jessi was getting ready to leave work; Aaron had already left leaving Dean and her alone.

"So you and Kyle together now?"

"Yeah."

"Good, I don't think he deserves you but it's nice that you gave him a chance to try and earn your love."

Jessi nodded. "So umm…should I give you back those stuffed animals from the carnival?" Dean laughed.

"You won more them." He replied with a smirk. "So you keep them." He gave her a wink.

Jessi smiled. "Yeah okay."

"I should probably get going then; Kyle is coming to pick you up right?"

"Yeah."

"Coolbeans."

"Goodbye Dean."

"Goodbye Jessi."

Dean was walking towards his motorcycle when Kyle pulled up. He gave the mock salute to Kyle, started the engine and drove off. Kyle just smirked at this.

"Hey." He turned to see Jessi looking at him. She was breathtaking and his face lit up whenever he saw her.

"Hey." Jessi noticed how much he was smiling and couldn't help but smiled back. They leaned forward and their lips meted once again. "I missed you."

"I missed you too."

It was strange how much their presence would be missed in such a short period, like they weren't whole until they were next to each other completing one another. Kyle drove Jessi to an empty home. Josh and Stephen had work, Lori was with Hillary and Declan, and Niccole was going to be gone all day running errands.

Jessi and Kyle walked inside. Kyle explained why everyone was gone and turned to see Jessi being thoughtful at this. Kyle noticed that now her eyes were green, he loved the color variation of her eyes, they were beautiful to see. Kyle walked forward and lightly kissed her head. Jessi looked up at him, he could see the longing to be even closer in her eyes and he wanted nothing more than to just kiss her all night but he wouldn't rush things. He wanted to do this relationship with Jessi right and he knew that neither of them was ready for that kind of step. "How bout we watch a movie?"

Jessi smiled. "Let me take a quick shower then we will." She replied.

"I'll be waiting." Jessi hopped into the shower and finished not to long afterwards. She wrapped a towel firmly around herself and dried off, she walked down stairs and began going to her room when she found Kyle coming out of his. He noticed that besides the towel wrapped around there was nothing to cover her body, Kyle turned red at this slight review only to remember that he had seen her naked before.

"Sorry." He moved to let her pass. She watched him as she passed him walking to her room. Kyle suddenly felt very hot, just let it go, go to the living room, do not go to her room. Kyle finally got his feet to move and pull him away from Jessi.

Jessi was getting dress between her fits of laughter, now that he has become more aware, it was amusing to see how he reacted to her in different situations. Jessi bounced off to the living room after she got dressed; she found Kyle sitting there ready to play a movie.

"So which one should we watch?"

She looked around to see a favorite, 'Ghost', and she picked it up. "This one."

Kyle looked at it, "I've never seen it before."

"What then you have to watch it." Jessi smiled.

He grinned "Yeah, yeah, okay."

They popped the film into place and Jessi got herself into position cuddly next to Kyle with her head on his shoulder.

When the film ended Kyle had an expression that Jessi couldn't place. "What is it? Didn't you like it?"

She noticed tears coming down his face. "That was sad."

Jessi smiled, he was feeling pain towards the characters for having this love and never being able to be with each other again. She reached up and wiped his tears away, and looked at his face a smile lighting it up. He looked down and smiled back.

"One day, if there love is strong enough they may be together again." She told him.

Kyle touched her cheek; stroking her soft cheek to her neck and back again. Jessi would give anything to stay in this moment forever but the car pulling up made them let go of one another.

Lori and Josh walked in to see Jessi and Kyle on the couch. It looked as though Jessi was looking for another movie to watch so they left them alone.

"I have something to show you Jessi."

"Huh?"

"Come with me." Kyle grabbed her hand and pulled her to his room.

"Kyle what is it?" She looked around his room, it had changed, all the things that reminded him of Amanda were gone and in place of the picture of Amanda in his special place was one of her. Her cheeks heated up and she turned to him. "You did this for me?"

Kyle smiled. "Of course, who else would I do this for?"

Jessi walked forward and kissed him with everything she had and he kissed her back, the lights above them were going off like crazy.

"Hey no super people make outs when I'm trying to be online." They heard Josh yell down and laughed.

"It's okay; we got plenty of time to get it improve that." Kyle smiled.

"I love the sound of that." Jessi smiled playfully.


Okay then this is the end, I might decided to add one more chapter where Kyle and Jessi have been dating for a couple of months and then decided that they aren't as innocent as it may seem. *wink wink*

Thank you for your reviews guys and sticking with this story till the end. I may decide to write another Kessi story but I need a slight break, they're exhausting. Have any questions please write. Thank you.
