FES: JKA and I are still writing stories together! Thank to JKA, who edited my story!

Bryce's eyes grew as big as the Taylor Lauthner poster in her room. What's so good about that?

Dark's lips curved into an evil grin. Bryce kicked him in the stomach but he didn't even flinch.

I'm dead! Bryce thought, squeezing her eyes shut.

Just then, Abby came in holding Pastel. She gasped when she saw Jak.

"Daddy!" She cheered and ran to Jak. She hugged him and it seemed that Dark faded away, leaving just plain ol' Jak in his place. Jak let go of Bryce, causing her to fall on the floor. Jak hugged Abby back as she giggled. Bryce got up and glared at Jak.

"What the hell is wrong with you? One minute you're going to kill me, and the next your hugging Abby!" Bryce said. If someone didn't know better, they'd think that Bryce was jealous of her sister.

Jak instantly caught onto this.

"Bryce Mar, are you jealous?" Jak asked. Bryce's bronze cheeks grew red at the fact that her father had seen right through her. She used to be jealous after Abby was born and her grandfather would give Abby all the attention. Keira was no help either; after giving birth to Abby, she would talk to Abby as if she were her best friend, but wouldn't speak to Bryce that way. Bryce had finally gotten over it on her ninth birthday when she broke her arm trying to pick a wumpbee hive, but ended up falling instead. Keira had told her that her father did the same thing on his ninth birthday, but he actually got stung. After that, she had said that Jak would run in circles if he saw one.

Bryce smiled evilly.

"Hey dad! There's a wumpbee behind you!" Bryce yelled. Jak started to shake his head to get rid of the imaginary bee. He frowned when he noticed there wasn't any and looked at Bryce.

"How did you know?"

"Mom told me."

Jak flinched at the thought of Keira bursting through the door. No sooner had the image crossed his mind than did the teal-haired woman do that exact thing. Her eyes widened when she saw the wound on Jak's collar bone and the girls. Bryce got up and grabbed the plastic knife.

"Jak! Didn't I tell you to get OUT?" Keira yelled. Abby grabbed Pastel and put him on Jak's head. She then stretched up and kissed Jak's cheek.

"Abby, I don't think that's okay," Bryce questioned. Abby whined a little.

"Now daddy can live with us!" Abby cheered and hugged Jak's neck. He chuckled as Abby did this. He then gave Bryce a confused look.

"Abby does that, and I think it means you can stay," Bryce smiled. She rarely smiled at family, because she 'needs to save smiles' for James Benson.

Keira didn't know what to do. She grabbed Jak's hand and Abby backed off. Keira took Jak into another room and locked the door in case Bryce was trying to listen, but Jak didn't know that.

"Um, Keira?" Jak asked uncomfortably. Keira sat on the bed.

"I don't know what to do!" Keira said. Jak moved closer to her and wrapped an arm around her. "Jak, I should have let you know about the girls. It's just ... I thought you'd leave me."

Jak looked down at Keira. "Where did you hear that?" He asked.

"Ashelin."

Jak now understood. Ashelin must have told Keira that if she told Jak about the girls, Jak would leave her.

Keira hugged Jak as tight as she could. "Don't go, Jak. I need you."

Jak, at first, didn't know what to say. First she tells him to get out, and now she was begging him to stay?

Jak pulled back, pulled her chin up with his finger, titled his head, and...

FES: Cliffhanger! Will Jak tell Keira he loves her? Will Keira let Jak stay? Will Bryce ever figure out why Abby doe that? Will Abby stop being cute? Will Pastel pee on the next head he sits on? Will Chris and Blizz appear AT ALL? See next time on War Between Family!
