A/N: I actually have a reasonable length chapter! YAY! I've also started work on the next chapter. I'm going to finish this story soon I think so I can start either a sequel or a new story entirely. So, I don't know if anyone wants a sequel. Please either PM or review if you want a sequel or not!

R&R!

Last Chapter: Taylor and Clay saw Rai and Kim in a 'compromising' position. Rai and Kim talked. Omi and Anastasia have not sorted it out. Ashley and Jack had a fight with an odd ending and Jack was about to tell Ashley about Twila's death.

They sat in silence for a few minutes. She looked into his eyes. There was so much she could see just by looking at him; marriage, a family, growing old together and… love. She had watched herself falling when she looked into his eyes but now, all she could see was her fall into his arms in love. She was so happy with him.

"So…?"

"Hm?" Jack fiddled with the ends of Ashley's hair.

"You were going to tell me something…" She looked at him blankly.

"I wanted to tell you… that… I… er…" He bit his lip and focused intensely on her hair for a few seconds. "I wanted to tell you that no matter what happens; I love you. And despite anything that could happen and what has happened, I always will and I will do anything in my power to protect you and our baby." He looked at the woman that sat with him in her lap. She had grown into a beautiful butterfly and he hoped he had helped her bloom and flourish from the scared girl she once was.

"Woah, Jack, woah. What brought that on?!" His sudden outburst of love had shocked her a bit too much.

"Wait, what's wrong?!" His eyes widened and he thought the worst.

"Nothing! I was just a little bit taken back by this sudden outburst! You never say things like that…" She didn't know what to do at all.

"Ashy, I know I don't but I just want you to remember this."

She bent her head down and kissed him lightly. His lips were cold against hers but the kiss held a love unlike any other. They weren't full of fire nor were they full of being used to each other. They held a balance that seemed to slip past the others. Rai and Kim were too stubborn to admit how they felt. Omi was too clueless. Clay and Taylor were too slow to realise their feelings. Jack and Ashley held a certain fascination to Wuya as she watched them fall in love with every kiss.

She laughed to herself. "So this is what Kat and Jack have been up to since they both vanished off my radar. They've gone soft on me. How…" She paused, searching for the perfect word. "Pathetic." She snarled just a bit too loudly.

'Wuya…" Ashley became alarmed. She removed her right hand from Jack's hair and placed it on her bump.

"Did you hear that?" Jack sighed quietly.

Ashley bent down and put her face to Jack's ear. "Yes, Wuya's here. Stay calm, Jack." She kissed his cheek after whispering and sat up. "Jack I'm hungry."

He frowned. "What does baby want to eat?"

"Baby wants bacon and eggs."

"Baby wants, Baby gets. Will Mama keep Daddy company?" He offered, hoping she would accept.

"Mama has something she has to do first. Daddy go make Baby bacon and eggs." She smiled.
He hesitated before walking out slowly.

"WITH MUSHROOMS." She called after him.

"Hello Kat." Ashley whipped round to see Wuya's human state. "You look better than when I last saw you." She smirked.

"Not too bad yourself, Wuya. What brings you here?" Kat eyed the beautiful woman but was hardly impressed.

"Just looking for a certain printsessa. Got any clue where I can find one? I'm willing to travel to any destination for her."

"Hell would be a good place to start. Hopefully you won't come back either." Ashley growled.

"Tut tut tut, Kat. Haven't you got any manners? Should I bring Chase down here and show him exactly what his Kitty Kat is doing? Or rather whom she seems to be doing?"

Ashley was dumbfounded.

"Cat got your tongue?" Wuya laughed loudly.

"Wuya, can you leave please? I'm bored of you and your immaturity. I'm sure the Xiaolin Warriors would love to know you're here."

Wuya's smile dropped. "You wouldn't."

"You wanna bet?"

"I'm leaving. But if I don't find my princess then I'm sure your baby will be the purr-fect." She winked at left, leaving Ashley to trouble over her huge dilemma.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry Kim!" Taylor apologised, standing in her doorway.

"It's okay Taylor! We're both girls here. It's not indecent for you to see me completely covered in bed." Kim smiled from her bed. Her bed snorted.

"Kim did your bed just snort?!" Taylor looked at her in fake shock.

"No, that my, um, stomach rumbling."

"Um, okay. Jack's making bacon, eggs and mushrooms for Baby and Ashley, I can ask him to make us all some?"

"Yeah, that sounds perfect. The whole gang can eat together this morning." She smiled and nodded the Barbie doll out her room.

Rai let out a sigh of relief and rolled out from under Kimi's bed. Rolling over to look at him, she bit her lip as her gaze fell on his chiselled chest. He was so toned and olive skinned.

"As I said last night, look all you want." He winked.

"Oh, I will." She smirked at his reaction.

"So Kimi has finally admitted she was looking?" He gave her a look that said it all.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that I did a lot more than that last night."

He raised his eyebrows.

"You and your eyebrow raising malarkey." She rolled her eyes.

He climbed onto her bed, kissing her hard and rough. "You love it really."

She bit her raw lips. "Hmm, I don't think so." She kissed him back, rolling her on top.

"You definitely love this though." He cupped her cheek and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss.

She twined her hand with his free hand. Her other hand skimmed his chest. Her fingers ran down his chest, suggesting she wanted something more than a kiss.

"Kimi, however much I do not want to stop we-" She cut him off when she started nipping his jaw. He rolled her over and twined his hands with hers, stopping her from reaching up and playing with his hair or running her fingers down his chest. He was stopping her from sending shivers down his spine because he knew that, if she did, he wouldn't have enough self-control in such a situation.

Unfortunately for him, she was hoping for this. She wrapped her legs round his hips and pulled him close to her. She kissed up his neck to his ear. She nipped playfully. "We don't need to stop if we don't want to."

He considered this for a few minutes. "Kim, I really would love to take you up on this offer but I know that if we start than we will not stop and you signed us up for a gang breakfast."

"Who said I wanted to stop?"

"We didn't stop five times last night." He looked at her.

"Let's make it six then." She winked.
He flushed red. "No, I have a walk of shame to do and you have sex hair." She began to fix it manically. "Don't fix it too much, you look beautiful."

Now it was her turn to flush red.

"Bye Kimi-Cub." He pecked her lightly and walked out, topless.

Breakfast was awkward but bearable. Anastasia refused to sit next to Omi, Kimi and Rai were playing footsies under the table, Taylor was 'accidentally' brushing and nudging Clay at every opportunity whereas Jack fed Ashley whilst she told him how happy she was. Zach emerged from his room for the first time since Twila left. Dojo was on his shoulder chatting. The group seemed to be getting its dynamic back.

"So what were you shouting about this morning, Ash?" Zach asked.

"Jack breathes too loudly!" She whined.

Zach laughed. Jack shot them both daggers.

"You even managed to keep me awake!" Ana pitched in.

"Seriously?! But you sleep like a log!" Clay exclaimed.

"At least she doesn't snore." Taylor glared playfully.

"Taylor!" Kimi laughed.

"Did you two get any sleep last night?" Taylor asked.

"Um, yeah why?" Rai and Kimi exchanged looks.

"Well, no reason. We just heard you fighting and stuff last night." She looked away.

"Who is 'we'?" Rai narrowed his eyes.

"You woke me up too." Clay piped up.

"How did that happen?!"

"Kimi, that's rude." Taylor gave her a very motherly look.

"Sorry, Clay." She mumbled.

"How long were you awake for?" Rai jumped in again.

"Long enough." Clay had caught on to what Taylor was doing.

"We sorted things out quite late, didn't we Kim? I suppose it must have been 4am? You weren't up for all of that were you?"

"We were up for all of it." Clay said.

"The shouting definitely continued after 4am…" Taylor looked at the flushing Kimi.

"That's enough, boys and girls. Ashley has an announcement!" Dojo announced.

A/N: So! What is Ashley's announcement? Flipping heck, are Omistasia going to sort this out? Are Claylor finally going to get together? Is Zach okay? What does Wuya want with our favourite Printsessa? Hmm, will I reveal all of this in the next chapter? Nope!

R&R!
