Looks like I updated a bit faster now, that's more like it. Hope you people enjoyed Chapter Eight! I apologize if Jason seems.... out of character in any way, but that's how I want my story to go. I also apologize if this upsets or disappoints anyone. Just bare with me, alright? Thanks! I would like to thank all the readers and to some reviewers. Please review though, I want to know what you all think!

Now, let's get on with Chapter Nine.

Please read, review, and enjoy! P.S. I'll try not to make it too long with the paragraphs this time.

Yes, this chapter will have the same title as the story itself. This chapter will be the one to explain the true meaning behind this story, and that Alexa will always stay with Jason, forever.

Chapter Nine: Never Lonely Again

Hours had flown by. The sun was now positioned high up in the sky, signaling that it was around eleven or noon-ish. As always, the animals went about their day-to-day routines, gathering food for the day and whatnot.

Alexa was still in a deep sleep, she sure must've used up a lot of her energy as a result from yesterday's events. Jason however, had starred at her through the whole entire night, all the while thinking as well. Today would be the day where he would take Alexa and find, what she mentioned, a pregnancy test and to see if she was really pregnant or not.

Thinking about this made Jason once again, uncomfortable. A baby? The thought of that made any normal person burst for joy for a new family member. Although, Jason wasn't a normal person, and he certainly didn't burst for joy. If Alexa was indeed pregnant... he would be certain he'd be by her side when she needs him. He still would have to juggle that, along with his daily outings to kill unwanted trespassers.

Jason was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a faint sound coming from the seventeen-year-old lying on his bed. He noticed she began to stir and her eyes slowly raised. As an instinct, he got up from the wooden chair he was previously sitting in and walked to Alexa's left side. Alexa saw his big, dark figure approach her and the only thing she could do was give him a small smile.

"Good morning, Jason," she let out as she sat up and began to stretch, "Did you get any sleep?"

Jason only shook his head in response and brought his hand to caress her warm, soft cheek. "Oh, I see." Alexa muttered quietly, feeling the tingly sensation she always got when Jason would touch her like this. Alexa noticed her hygiene state and with the look of all the mud and blood, she almost gagged. She immediately got out of the bed and headed over to one of the old, wooden tables in search of something. Her eyes light up when she found what she was looking for, her bag filled with everything she needed: clothes, shampoo and conditioner, and other miscellaneous things. She grabbed the bag and without a second thought, she headed straight out of the door. Jason immediately followed, but stopped at the door frame. Alexa realized she forgot about Jason, and once she turned around she ran right into Jason's chest.

A red, visible blush was shown on her cheeks. She slowly backed away, "S-sorry about that. Uhm, do you think you could bring me to the shower stalls again? I really need to take a shower."

Jason was amused by what had just happened. He thought it was funny to see her blush at these awkward and embarrassing moments. Without hesitating, he picked Alexa up bridal-style and began heading over to the cabin that held the shower stalls. Alexa's blush began to fade, but the feeling of embarrassment was still clearly shown. She wondered what Jason felt at that moment... Angry? Upset? Or... amusement? If he had thought it was amusing, well he had another thing coming!

Alexa decided to push all that aside, noticing the cabin coming into their view. Once inside, Jason brought Alexa to the ground, but this time Alexa hadn't raced into the shower stall. Instead, she simply turned around to face him.

"Thanks again. Will you be waiting for me, out there?" Alexa asked, referring to the porch in the front of the cabin. Jason only nodded, but before he went, he embraced Alexa in a firm, yet friendly hold. Alexa froze, but soon her body relaxed and she gave into the hug. "I'll be fine! Don't worry about me." Alexa reassured, giving him a reassuring smile. Once satisfied, Jason turned around and headed out toward the porch.

Once she realized he was gone, Alexa rushed into the bathroom area, discarding her clothes within a minute. She wrapped a towel securely around her small body, but then put it onto the sink. She brought her naked body into the shower, being greeted with the warm, clean water. She began to wash her hair with the lavender-smelling shampoo and conditioner and then afterward rinsed out. Once feeling clean, she turned off the water, stepped out of the shower stall and wrapped her body with the somewhat dampened towel. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and this time, Jason hadn't stepped in like last time.

She was somewhat disappointed, but she shook it off. She began to dress, adding on another black bra, a pair of underwear, a black tank top, jean shorts and a pair of black sandals. She began to brush her hair with a brush she had found inside the bag. She put the brush back into the bag and once satisfied with her appearance, she headed out to the porch.

At first she hadn't spotted Jason, "Jason, where are you?" Alexa walked on over to the front of the porch, but once she felt two hands grab her forearms, she screamed.

She turned around, breathing heavily, but realized it was only Jason. "Jesus, must you scare me like that?" Jason only shrugged, but immediately carried her bridal-style once again.

As Jason began heading to his next destination, his nose was filled with the intoxicating scent of lavender. He thought she must've had some kind of lavender-smelling shampoo or something as such. He was content.

Alexa began to ponder at where they were going, but instead of drowning Jason with her usual questions, she just let him lead her to wherever he is intending to go. Another cabin came into their view and once the two were inside, Jason brought Alexa down. He walked over to the beds and motioned for Alexa to follow. She obeyed and noticed he was pointing to the bags.

"What about the bags?" Alexa inquired. Did he want her to find something? Something. The pregnancy test! "Oh! You want me to see if there's any pregnancy tests in there?" Jason nodded, starring at her unsure-held eyes.

"Well, I'm not sure, but it's worth a shot to check." Alexa began rummaging through all the bags and she knew they all belonged to females. The bags held more female clothing, along with pads and tampons, which she put into her bag. She was a girl after all and she expected to have her monthly "gift" to come soon, if she wasn't pregnant though. She also found condoms, which was believable, the sick sex-craved teenagers that come here. But with condoms, there must be... a pregnancy test!

'Yes! Found one!' Alexa thought to herself, relieved. Jason noticed her mood changed deeply and he noticed she was holding a small box-shaped object. Was it this pregnancy test? He tilted his head in confusion. Alexa turned around, still holding the test in her hands.

"Alright, Jason. I found one, but I need to go into the bathroom alone. You understand?" Jason somewhat confused, only nodded and let her carry on with what she needed to do. Before Alexa headed into the bathroom, she rose on her tip-toes and gave Jason a peck on his masked lips.

"I'll be right back." Alexa gave Jason one last smile, then she locked herself within the bathroom. She took a deep breath and took out the test. 'Oh God...'

Minutes passed and Jason began to grow impatient. Why did it take so long? What was she doing in there? Jason headed up to the bathroom door and was about to softly bang on the door to see if she was okay, but once he was about to, the door opened. He looked down and saw that Alexa had tear-stained cheeks, she was sniffling, and was gasping for short breaths. Alexa immediately ran into Jason and the only thing Jason did was wrap his arms around her. What happened? Was she pregnant or not?

Jason then pulled her from his hold and bent down on his legs like a mother would to her child. He cupped her chin with his large hand and wiped the excess tears from her face. Alexa saw he had concern written on him and she knew she must tell him.

"I-I'm sorry. I got the results and... it turns out that," Tears began to form in her eyes again and Jason embraced her in a comforting hug. "I'm p-pregn-nant." Alexa finally let out. Jason froze in his position. She was WHAT? Jason began to feel his anger rise, he wished that son of a bitch, Kaden was back alive. He would give him the most painful torture of them all and have him beg for mercy, which of course he would NOT give. How dare he do this to his Alexa. He began to grab her shoulders more roughly than he intended.

"Ow, Jason! You're hurting me!" He was brought back to reality. He felt a wave of guilt. He began to caress her cheek yet again, showing her he was sorry. "It's alright. You were probably thinking about Kaden, right?" Jason gave her a nod. How did she know that? "I was thinking about that bastard too. How he did this to me. Why must I punish for his act? I have to carry his baby for nine agonizing months! I have to raise his baby as well. I'm only seventeen-years-old! I can't do this alone!"

Jason only shook his head, no, she wouldn't be alone on this. He would be right by her side whenever she needed him. Like he thought earlier, he would give her whatever she needed. He knew this would be a very stressful time for Alexa and he would only make sure she was happy, hopefully most of the time. This particular girl made him feel something that he hadn't felt in a long time, and that was love. Because of this, he would do this for the baby as well, all for Alexa.

'That's right, Jason dear.' His Mother, at last spoke, 'This girl does have deep feelings for you, Jason. She treats you differently than those disgusting people. She doesn't care about your appearance, she only cares about you on the inside. Protect her, honey. Make sure she is safe, and the baby as well. She loves you. I love you, and never forget that. Hurt all the bad people that try to hurt you, her, or the baby, alright?' Jason gave an understanding nod, 'Good boy.'

His mother was right, and that's why he loves her so. He would indeed punish those who would dare lay a hand on Alexa or the baby. "J-Jason?" Alexa asked, noticing he was in his own world. Jason returned his focus back to her, only to be greeted by her angelic, innocent face. He brought his hand back to her cheek, caressing it softly. Alexa closed her eyes. He traveled down to her neck and around her collarbone. He felt Alexa began to shiver, probably from how icy his touch was. He went down to her chest, passed her breasts and stopped at her stomach. So, there is something being created in there at this moment. Jason lifted up her tank top, placing his cold hands flatly on her stomach. Alexa looked down, only to be greeted with Jason's serene eyes.

She couldn't help but smile. She loved this side of him, it showed what kind of person he really is and not just what everyone thought: a cold-hearted, merciless, dangerous serial killer. Of course he was, but to Alexa, he was more than that.

Alexa placed her hands over his, which were still attached to her stomach. "I've realized, you're something much, much more. You have a side to you I absolutely adore and I knew it was still there, when everyone thinks it's been buried by your hatred toward everyone. You have a loving side and how it was replaced, it wasn't fair. Especially with your childhood, that wasn't fair. But you know what? All I care is about what's in here," Alexa added, pointing to where his heart would be, "I have feelings for you, I can't quite explain. You make me feel like I can lift the wings that were held down by weights. Jason, I'll always be here with you. Even when this, not a mistake, but more of a surprised blessing of a baby comes, that won't change how I feel about you. I-I love you."

Jason was wide-eyed. What she had said really touched him and he knew that this is who she really was and she really did care about him. He immediately embraced her in a romantic hug. Jason then brought his masked lips to hers, and even though it wasn't a real kiss, Alexa would still accept it, accept him. She loved him and she knew he loved her. They embraced once again. 'No matter what happens, you'll never be lonely again.' Alexa thought, promising.

The ending almost brought me to tears, LITERALLY. It was all played into my head and just thinking of Alexa confessing her love for Jason, well it was beautiful! A baby is coming into the picture. What do you guys think about this? I think it'll be a good thing. ^_^ Chapter Ten may take awhile, but we'll see. Depends what mood I'm in.

Hope you guys have a wonderful day. :D
