This is my favorite chapter I have written so far and I hope you guys enjoy it. PS I still don't own Kickin' It.

Chapter 5

Mika's POV:

Dinner at mine and Jerry's house had just finished up and the kids were upstairs getting ready for bed. I was clearing away dinner plates when I noticed Jerry's plate was still full. Jerry always eats what I give him unless something is bothering him, and by the look on his face something was up. I set the dinner plates back on the table, wrapped my arms lovingly around his neck, and gently placed my chin on his shoulder. "What's wrong baby?" He shook his head, but I could have sworn that I felt a tear roll down his cheek. Now I knew something was wrong.

I turned him around and placed his head in the crook of my neck, and I swear the flood gates were opened. I had never seen Jerry cry like this, and it kind of scared me a little. I pulled the chair that was next to Jerry towards me and sat down, not letting Jerry's head leave my shoulder.

After about five minutes he started to clam down, so I asked him again, "Jerry, what's wrong?"

He heaved a sigh and started speaking, his head never leaving my shoulder. "Jack. Kim. Maci."

I hugged him, but asked confusedly, "What about them?"

Jerry slowly lifted himself off my shoulder, then explained. "Kim is making me keep Maci a secret from Jack. And that's a HUGE secret to keep from my best friend. I mean, I can imagine my life without my kids and it is horrifying! I don't want Jack to have to go through that. But then again, Jack is also making me keep a secret from Kim and this one could hurt her too. And i can imagine your reaction if I ever did this to you. My brain is just about fed up with all these secrets and lies, that I feel like my head is about to burst if I don't tell anyone soon. Plus, I have no idea what I am going to do." Jerry's eyes started forming tears again as he placed his face into his hands.

This was getting bad. I had seen Jerry cry on rare occasions, like our wedding day and Jason and Jina's births, but never to this degree. "Sweetheart, there's something I have to tell you." When he looked up at me confused I continued. "You're not the only one that's hiding secrets for them. I'm also hiding a really scary one for Kim that happened about eight years ago."

Jerry raised his head up at this. "Really? Cause Jack's happened about a year after that."

"Hm..." I said mischievously. "How about you tell me Jack's big secret then I'll tell you Kim's. That way we can both look out for each other to no spill their secrets."

Jerry shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Jack's secret is pretty big and, from my understanding, it sounds like Kim's is too."

I frowned, "Come on Jerry. I know you want to know just as bad as I do."

Jerry sucked in a deep breath, then released it. "Fine, but just so we can keep an eye out for each other."

I smiled, "Mkay you go first."

Jerry did his deep breathing exercise again then he began. The story started with Bobby Wasabi giving Jack the blonde girl he didn't want for their movie premiere. He told me about how she had gotten Jack drunk and that she took advantage of him while he was drunk. I felt horrible for Jack, but Kim's was, in my eyes at least, worse than Jack's. "So what about Kim?"

I also took a deep breath and began. "Mine starts the day after Bobby Wasabi offered Jack the role of his sidekick and ends not long after Jack tells Kim he is moving to Miami. So you remember how Kim was sick that day at the dojo?" I waited for Jerry to nod then continued. "Well, she got considerably worse and could barely stand because her whole midsection was cramping so bad. I didn't want to jump to any conclusions, because she was experiencing some of the things I was going through, and I was eight weeks pregnant! So I called Milton for his take on it and he said that it could be anything from a pulled muscle to a ruptured organ. He suggested that we go to the ER and they would have the answer. I buddied Kim to the car and let her lie down in the backseat while I drove to the ER. When we got there, they weren't busy so we were able to go back pretty quickly. When the doctor finally arrived she poked around at Kim's stomach and midsection for a moment before speaking up. "Kim when was your last period." That's when Kim's face went as white as the sheets she was laying on. She realized how late she was and told the doctor. The doctor said that she was going through a miscarriage and that was why she had so much pain and was feeling so ill."

Jerry's eyes grew to the size of saucers. "Kim had a miscarriage? She was pregnant before Maci?

I nodded my head and continued. "After running some tests, to make sure it was a miscarriage, the doctor put her on birth control and told her to never miss a dose unless she wanted to get pregnant. Well, the day after Kim and Jack's three year anniversary, Kim called me and told me that she had forgotten to take the pill the night before and the night of their anniversary. I felt so bad for her, so I told her that we would go out in two weeks and get a pregnancy test.

Two weeks came and went, but Kim chickened out. So by the third week I went out and bought it myself and she came over to my house. That pregnancy test was the one that told Kim that she was pregnant with Maci.

We decided that she needed to tell her mom. Since Kim was eighteen by then, we thought her mom would be elated that she was getting a grandbaby. Unfortunately, we got the exact opposite and that included an expulsion from her home. Kim was in the worst state of shock I had ever seen her in, so I convinced Uncle Phil to let her stay with us for a while.

The day that Jack had gotten back and asked Kim to meet him at the mall, was the day she was going to tell him. She had asked my for a baggy hoodie because she was starting to show and didn't want Jack to find out until she told him. But he never let her talk. She tried cutting in, but her kept breaking her off. And then right before she finally could get it out, she said that he had to leave then left her standing there.

Kim stayed at my place until Maci was in day care and she joined the police force and later the FBI with you guys."

Jerry was in shock "She had a miscarriage?"

I nodded. Was that the only thing he heard?

"And she lived with you for a while? Has she tried to get a hold of her mother?"

"Ya, she lived with me for a bit, and no, her mother still wants nothing to do with her."

Jerry slumped forward and rested his elbows on his knees and grasped his hands together into one big fist. "Kim had it way worse off than Jack," Jerry said. "But how come she didn't tell me any of this? She tells me everything. Plus she and I had grown so close since Jack. Besides you she is my best friend." Jerry then laughed and lowered his head. "Man, I sound like a chick right now."

I giggled at him and raised his chin up. I was no where near jealous of him and Kim because we were both really close to her. "No you don't. I don't blame you though, 'cause I kind of wish Jack had told me about his drunk night. But that was a situation that was meant for a guy to listen to, like Kim's was meant more for a girl. No offense to you or anything, but I don't think back then you would have understood to the fullest extent how drastic her situation was."

Jerry gave me a small smile. "None taken."

I smiled back at him as I stood up. "Come on, let's go tuck the kids in."

Jerry smiled grew as he stood and went upstairs, leaving me to follow. We got upstairs and Jerry walked into Jina's room while he called for Jason. I stayed by the door and leaned against the frame because, after his episode downstairs, i knew he had something to say. Jason came into the room and he told him and Jina to sit cross legged on Jina's bed while he grabbed one of her small chairs to sit on. "Careful Daddy, don't break my chair."

Jerry smiled before he spoke up, "Don't worry honey, I won't. Now for what I called you in for. You guys know that I love you right?" When both kids nodded, he continued. "Good, because I plan to love you guys no matter what happens. Even when I get mad at you or you're getting in trouble for something you did bad, I am doing it out of love. I promise. And just like you guys, I will always love your mom forever and always." He turned towards me and had the goofiest smile I had seen on him in a long time. This is the Jerry I fell in love with and I was happy that he was all mine.

"Mkay kids, time for bed," Jerry said standing up out of Jina's chair. We got the kids into their respective beds and told them all good night before Jerry and I went to bed.

After Jerry was asleep, I slipped out of bed to use the phone. Kim needs to tell Jack about Maci, and she needs to do it before it hurts Jack, Maci, her, and the rest of us.

Finished with Chapter 5 :D This chapter I swear made me cry. It showed a side of Jerry that most people don't ever think about. Even the strongest people have weak points. I'm working on Chapter 6 now and hope to have it up within the next couple of days.
