Hey I own nothing except Jackson! =D Enjoy the update. They're very rare with me...
Jackson was very happy that his parents moved in together. Jade wasnt stupid enough to sell her house but she just told Cat that she would be testing out the waters with Beck again. Cat understood and was more than happy to shoulder the amount of the full rent. Meanwhile, Jade helped Beck out at his house. When Jade had pulled up to Beck's house, Jackson was so happy. He couldn't stop being excited. Jade tried to calm the boy down but it was futile. Jackson was happy his mom and dad would be living in the same house. For most children, this concept isn't very strange, but Jackson had never known what it was like to have his father and mother living in the same house. Jade hoped that everything would work out okay. She couldn't be certain right away though. It would take some time. So far, Beck was a gentleman. He carried in their luggage and played with Jackson. Everything seemed happy and perfect. Until one day, there was a knock at the door.
Jade whipped the door open and was shocked to see Tori Vega standing there. Jade scowled and high school memories flooded back to her. "Vega? What the hell are you doing here?" she asked firmly. Tori folded her arms and glared at Jade. Their tension was halted when Jackson flew across the room.
"Tori!" he yelled. Smiling, Tori bent down and picked up Jackson. She tousled his hair and smiled.
"Hey buddy!" she greeted. Tori tried to have a moment with Jackson but Jade easily broke it. Her glare made Tori set Jackson down. Jackson huddled near his mom's legs. Actually, he sat down on the floor and played with the shoe laces on her boots. Tori looked around. "Where's Beck?" she asked. Jade rolled her eyes.
"He's at an audition. Why? What did you want to do, pin him against the wall and fuck him?" she asked. Jackson frowned and looked up.
"Mommy. You said a bad word. That's five dollars in the swear jar. And I'm going to tell Daddy too." Jade sighed loudly and rolled her eyes. She put a hand on Jackson's head.
"I know, baby. I'm sorry. Just...go and play in the other room. I'm going to have a little talk with Tori." Jackson nodded and hurried away. Tori gulped and looked nervous. Jade strode towards Tori and sneered. "Look, Vega. I don't know why you're here, but I don't like it. Beck and you aren't a couple anymore. We're trying again and you have to deal with that." she snapped. Tori furrowed her eyebrows.
"I just wanted to talk to him! You shouldn't be so self-conscious!" she exclaimed. Jade folded her arms.
"I am not self-conscious. You need to get a grip on reality. Beck chose me, not you. Get over it." Tori fell silent but still frowned deeply. Jade opened the door and smiled. "Goodbye." Tori sighed but acquiesced and stomped out of the house. Jade slammed the door shut and locked it. Jackson came out and asked what that was all about. Jade said it was nothing and walked him into the kitchen. To distract him, she gave him an apple and some milk. Jackson got some milk on his upper lip and grinned. He asked excitedly if they could play Candyland. Jade rolled her eyes. Candyland wasn't exactly her top choice of board games, but she did it for him. Jade pulled out the box and they jumped into the game. Jade wasn't trying to let Jackson win, but somehow he won. Jackson laughed the entire time. Jade couldn't help but grin. "You think it's funny, don't you? Well, I think you cheated." she said jokingly, getting up. Jackson shook his head, insisting he didn't cheat. Smirking, Jade crossed the kitchen and tickled the little boy. Jackson giggled loudly.
"Okay, okay! I cheated!" Jade stepped away and smirked.
"I knew it." The door opened and Beck came in. He looked a little saddened like usual. Jackson got off his chair and ran over. Jade followed. Beck scooped Jackson up and tousled his hair, greeting him. Jackson immediately said Tori had stopped by. Beck's face paled and his eyes widened. He set Jackson down and told him to watch TV. Jackson ran into the other room. Jade kissed Beck on the lips and smiled lightly. "How was the audition?" Beck put his head down ashamed. Jade knew already. Her lips pursed together. "I'm sorry, babe." she said. He shrugged.
"It's fine. I just can't believe Tori stopped by. What did you do?" he asked. Jade smiled.
"I told her to get a grip on reality and that you chose me." she said with a laugh. Beck smirked.
"Typical you." he said kissing Jade on the lips. Jackson's laughter at a television show could be heard across the house. "Come on." he said wrapping his arm around Jade's shoulder. They walked in to the living room. Jade wondered to herself, everything was going so well. Would they be together forever? Or would Tori or Andre break up the somewhat happy family?
