I own nothing.
CHAPTER 7
Keira awoke to the warm body next to her with a smile on her face, she smiled and snuggled into him, feeling his arms tighten around her she opened her eyes and looked up, seeing his beautiful eyes looking down at her smiling "Morning handsome" she breathed groggily
"Morning beautiful" he grinned and held her a tighter
Keira smiled and leaned up for a kiss "How long have you been awake?" she asked
"About half an hour, I was watching you sleep, I love watching you sleep...when we were apart during the war I used to sneak into your room at HQ, I just needed to know that you were safe" Jak smiled taking her fingers and kissing each of them.
Keira giggled "I didn't know that"
"Well if you had you probably would have kicked me out" Jak chuckled
Keira sat up slightly and looked at Jak "So is all this over now, can we go back to our lives?" she asked
"I very much doubt it, we have to be ready for her next move, she won't give up that easily" Jak said sadly
Keira frowned "What do you mean, do you think she'll try something else?" She asked
"I really don't know what else she can do, but I'm sure she'll try something else...but Keira you have to believe that I love you and I would do anything to be with you...if we have to be apart for a little while then know that I will always come back to you, always...I may even have to take the throne of Spargus" Jak replied
Keira nodded "Jak, I want you to move in with me" she stated
"But I thought you wanted to take things slow, get to know each other again?" he asked
Keira shook his head "I never want to be apart from you again, after what she did I thought I'd lose you and I felt my whole body break, I thought I wouldn't be able to go on, it was different from when I left, because when I left, we hadn't told each other how we felt about each other, hadn't been together...but since that night above the ottsel, I feel like you are a part of me, that our hearts and souls have met and joined and breaking that apart would kill me" she said
Jak nodded "I know what you mean, like we were made to fit each other" he smiled pushing her back and hovering above her "I love you Keira, if I have to be king of Spargus, will you be my queen?" he whispered
"Of course, but do you want to be king?" she asked stroking his face
Jak shook his head "Not really, but I could take the throne and let Sig handle the day to day running of the city, I could just get involved when something important came up" he smiled "If being king keeps Ashelin away and me with you then that's what I'll do, I would do anything to be with you" he pressed his lips to hers.
It had been two weeks since Jak had returned to Rainbow Village, he was stood on the side of the race track with Kai, watching Spud racing around, he shook his head when his speed dropped through the turns and looked down at his stop watch "Why does he do that?" he asked Kai
Kai shrugged "I've no idea...I think he's a little scared, although he'd never admit it"
"He'll have to learn to keep his speed otherwise he'll never win, everything else is okay" Jak said
Kai nodded "So Keira said you may have to become King in order to keep Ashelin away...I didn't even know you were Damas' son"
"Did you know him?" Jak asked
Kai nodded "I used to live in Spargus, my parents were wastelanders" he said sadly
"Really, what happened to them?" Jak asked
Kai shrugged "They went out artifact hunting and got stuck in a storm, when they were found they were huddled up in the back of the car, a note and a bullet through their hearts"
"Thats awful "Jak said shaking his head
Kai shook his head "The note said they hadn't killed each other, they'd shot their own hearts because they'd given them to each other the day they got married...I think that's quite nice, that they wanted to die together"
"I wouldn't want to live without Keira, if she was to die I know I wouldn't last long after her, so how did you end up here?" Jak smiled
Kai smiled "This place was built for retired wastelanders and when my parents died I was sent to live with my grandparents, who were retired wastelanders, most kids who grow up here leave at eighteen and go join the army in Spargus, but I had to stay look after my grandmother and I wanted to open the bar"
Jak nodded "What about Spud and Ayr?" he asked
"Nearly same story, their parents were forced to retire early, due to injury, so their two of the few that were actually born here, and although they have had wastelander training they are here to protect the village if any threat should come to it" Kai explained
"Don't you have a governor or mayor or anything?" Jak asked
Kai shook his head "Nah, we never really needed one, if any problems arise Spargus deals with it"
Jak nodded "I could join Spud and Ayr, I could help protect the village"
Kai nodded "So anymore tricks up Ashelins sleeve?" he asked
"I dunno, but I know she doesn't like not getting what she wants...I wouldn't be surprised if she did try something else" Jak stated
Kai nodded "Keira was in bits, I couldn't hold her up, it nearly killed me to see her like that"
"It nearly killed me to send her away" Jak said as Spud wandered over Jak looked at him "I'm gonna teach you about power slides, come on" Spud rolled his eyes and followed Jak to the car.
Keira was in her garage putting the finishing touches to Jak's car, she had a mask over her face and spray gun in her hand, she traced the letters J and K intertwined on the side of the car, bright silver bouncing off the blue of the body. She stood up and smiled at her paint work "Now we'll always be together" she beamed
"Isn't that sweet" A voice came from behind startling Keira
She spun around and took her mask off, her eyes narrowed at Ashelin as she leaned on the door frame "What do you want Ashelin?"
"I want Jak, but it seems you've well and truly got your claws into him, so my only option is to get rid of you...or I could just tell you Jak and I's little secret" she smirked
Keira frowned "What secret?" she asked
"Jak was really miserable when you left, barely sober half the time, didn't know what he was doing" Ashelin began moving into the garage "Anyway one night he was wasted and I helped him to his room, I didn't want to take advantage of him in that state, but the way he grabbed me, and kissed me, I couldn't resist...I know he regretted it the minute he did it, but now he has to face the consequences"
"Like what?" Keira demanded folding her arms across her body
Ashelin grinned "Like going to be a daddy"
Keira's eyes went wide "Your lying" she yelled
"Really, now I know Jak doesn't really remember, and he'll probably deny it, but what does this show you?" she held out a small card and Keira took it and opened it revealing a scan picture with Ashelins name on it.
"This could be a fake...and even if it isn't how do I know its Jaks?" Keira asked
Ashelin smiled "I guess you won't know until its born, about eight months" she smirked turning around to leave and coming face to face with Jak "Ah, Jak, we were just talking about you"
"What are you doing here?" he demanded
Keira reached for Jak, he moved quickly for her and held her close "She says she's pregnant, and you're the father" Keira explained
"Bull, I've never had sex with you, there's no chance" Jak boomed
Ashelin smiled "Like I said you'll have to wait about eight months"
"No I won't" he strode up to Ashelin and pressed his hand to her abdomen and closed his eyes glowing white slightly he furrowed his brow and searched "Theres nothing there" he stated pulling his hand away
"What?" Ashelin hissed
Jak laughed moving back to Keira "I have light eco inside me I can sense life, and I don't sense it in you" he smiled down at Keira "Didn't believe her did you?" he asked
"Not that it was your baby no" she smiled and then turned to Ashelin "Now get the hell outta my garage" she snarled
Jak looked down at Keira "I'm gonna have to take the throne aren't I?" he asked
"Can't you just be governor of Rainbow Village, it does officially belong to Spargus...couldn't you just run this place?" she asked
Jak shrugged "I dunno, come on we'll go see Sig..." he tried leading her out but she held back "Whats the matter?" he asked
"I'm really busy Jak, can't I wait here?" she asked
Jak shook his head "Not with her around you can't come on" and he dragged her outta the garage.
Jak and Keira walked into the throne room of Spargus, Sig looked at them eyes wide "What has she done now?" he asked
"Would I be able to be in Rainbow Village without her getting to me?" Jak asked
Sig nodded " Rainbow Village has its warriors there, you could be the governor, keep them at bay, but there hasn't been one for years"
"Can she get to me if I was in charge there?" Jak asked
Sig shook his head "You'd still be a citizen of Spargus, but Jak the best thing to do is take the throne"
"If Keira agrees I will, but I don't want to run a city, you'll have to do the day to day" Jak said
Sig nodded "The best thing we can do is get you and Keira married, and then we'll have a coronation for you"
"Can you not do it now?" Keira asked
Jak looked at her and smiled "You really want to be my wife?" he asked
"Never wanted anything else" she beamed
Jak looked at her, right in the eyes looking for a bit of doubt, he didn't see any and smiled "Sig, marry us now"
Sig stood up "You are now married " he said quickly "Kiss the bride" he instructed just as a blinding white light beamed into the room.
Jak, Keira and Sig covered their eyes, Jak looked first and saw the Precursors coming in.
Jak watched them and moved himself so he could look at them , his arm tightly around Keira, she looked up at him, he smiled and turned her around to face them.
"You have finally been joined with your soul mate, from that kiss you will be forever together, no matter what" the precursor said
Keira frowned "We haven't kissed"
Jak cupped her face and kissed her, she felt something leave her body and was replaced by something that felt so good she couldn't describe
"From now on, your hearts and souls will be together, never to be apart" th voice boomed
Jak smiled and grabbed hold of Keira, pulling her towards him and kissing her, Jak pulled away and grinned "I hope you never want to leave me, because this is it, you me, forever"
"And always" Keira breathed leaning up to kiss Jak "I'm so in love with you, I would die without it"
Jak laughed "I love you, more than you will ever know".
