The Great Escape Chapter 29: Happy Birthday!, a kickin' it fanfic

Hey guys! I have this chapter with a little bit more of Jack's birthday party and Erin's birthday too!

I am so excited for the sequel; I will be revealing the title at the end of this chapter.

Enjoy this chapter!

Previously on The Great Escape:

Erin's POV:

We get to the Black Dragon's Dojo to find a very surprised Ty.

"Where's Mirabella?" I ask when I didn't see her.

"We don't have her." Ty says.

"What do you mean you don't have her? This note says you do." Jack says and handing Ty the note

"We seriously don't have her, I would never try to hurt Mirabella, no matter how much Rudy and I don't get along sometimes… But I think I know who did take her." Ty says and shouts for Frank to come, sure enough Frank comes out of the changing room holding Mirabella.

Jack runs over and takes her from Frank and holds her close.

I smile at him, "He really loves her." I thought.

"Why did you take her Frank?" I asked as Jack walked over to me.

"I thought if I did, you would do anything to get her back, even go out with me." Frank said guiltily.

"Frank, we were 12 years old when I liked you; I'm not the same girl I was almost 5 years ago. I like you as a friend, but I'm dating Jack, and I love him. I hope you can accept that." I say softly.

"I understand, I'm sorry for taking Mirabella, I was blinded by jealousy. I hope you can forgive me." He says.

"I forgive you, and I know God forgives you too." I say with a smile and hug him.

We were all friends and there was no more feuds or fighting between the Wasabi Warriors and the Black Dragons anymore, God changed us all, by sending a precious baby to bring us all together.

We all promised we will do everything in our power to protect Mirabella, and each other with our lives, and we will all live up to that promise.

The next day at the dojo*

Erin's POV:

We were all celebrating Jack's birthday in the dojo. I walk up to Jack and kiss him.

"Happy birthday Jack. You are 17!" I say excitedly.

"Thank you Angel. But I'm only a week older than you." He says and Kim walks over towards us with Mirabella.

"Daddy!" Mirabella shouts and reaches out for Jack.

Jack eyes widen but he smiles and takes Mirabella while I stand there in shock, smiling widely.

"Hey Bells." Jack says with a smile.

"Daddy." Mirabella says again and giggles.

Chapter 29: Happy Birthday!

Jack's POV:

I was really shocked that Bells called me Daddy, but I am also really happy.

I look over at Erin who seems a little upset, but when she sees me looking at her she smiles.

I hand Bells to Kim and I walk over to Erin and put my arm around her.

"Hey Angel." I say and kiss her cheek making her smile a little.

"Hey birthday boy." She smiles, it wasn't her normal smile that lights up a room and makes me melt, it was a sad smile.

"What's wrong?" I ask turning her to face me so she's looking me in the eyes.

"Nothing." She says and smiles. I know something's wrong but I drop the issue.

"Want to go get something to eat?" I ask.

"Whatever you want, you seem to get everything you want, so why not dinner too?" She says snapping at me. Ok, something has to be wrong, Erin never snaps at anybody unless she's upset, tired, or stressed out.

"Ok, something's wrong. Why don't you talk about it?" I ask nicely.

"Nothing's wrong, why don't we go get dinner? And you can bring your daughter too." She says snapping at me again.

"Erin, just tell me what's wrong." I say and gently pull her away for the group so we can talk privately.

"Ok, I'm a little jealous that Mirabella called you Daddy, and…" She trails off.

"And you want her to call you mommy." I say finishing Erin's sentence and she nods.

"Don't worry; she'll say it in her own time." I say just then Kim comes towards us.

"She wanted you." Kim said with a smile and handed Mirabella to Erin.

"Mommy." Mirabella says and Erin looks shocked, but smiles and tears stream down her face.

Skip a week*

Erin's POV:

It has been a week since Jack turned 17 and Mirabella called me mommy, now it's my turn to be a year older.

Wow, I have been in Seaford for almost a year which also means it has been almost a year since Emmylou died.

Yeah, I miss her, but my wise best friends remind me to remember all the good memories I had with her, not the tough 2 weeks before and after she died.

I was walking to the Café, Kim told me to meet her there for some karaoke.

I walked in the door and saw the lights off so I turned them on and all my friends jumped up and shouted "Surprise!" almost giving me a heart attack.

Kim walked up to me with a smile and I hug her tight.

"Thank you so much!" I say.

"You're welcome, you deserve it." She says.

"Come on let's sing a song!" I say and pull her on stage.

"This song is dedicated to all my amazing friends, thank you guys for a wonderful year, and thank you for reminding me to stay strong even though my sister is gone." I say with a smile.

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

[2x]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

(When I'm alone)

Kim and I end the song and everyone claps and we walk over to the guys, Jonah puts his arm around Kim and I just smile.

"Now you have to open our gifts." Jerry says with a smile.

"Guys, you didn't have to get me anything." I said.

"Of course we did." Milton says and hands me his gift.

I open it to find a bracelet that said "Stronger" on it.

"Thank you, I love it." I said and give him a hug.

Jerry hands me his gift, a scrapbook of pictures of all of us acting silly. I smile and hug him.

Kim hands me a card and I open it.

"Dear Er,

You are now 17, I remember when we were both 7 years old, and to think that was 10 years ago. You have definitely grown more beautiful and godlier each and every year.

I feel so lucky to not only call you my best friend, but my sister in Christ.

I Love You!

Kimmy."

"I love you too Kimmy!" I say with a smile and hug my best friend.

Jonah gives me a gift card; Uncle Rudy gives me a scarf.

Jack seems a nervous giving me his gift, but he gives me a beautiful ring.

I smile and hug him.

"Happy birthday Angel." He says and we kiss.
