The three raptors had everyone surrounded. My heart was pounding as I looked at Delta. My eyes pleading that she remembered who I was.
They began hissing.
"That's how it is huh?" Owen said to Blue. He slowly put his gun down to show her that he meant no harm. She still had the tracking eyepiece on.
Owen reached out to Blue and she tried to scare Owen, but he didn't flitch.
"Easy girl" He whispered, gently taking off the eyepiece.
She cooed a bit making me and Owen smile.
"That's it" He said as he slowly took a step back.
But out of nowhere the I. Rex appeared, roaring. Her footsteps were thunderous.
She began communicating with the three raptors. Blue looked back at Owen and let out a small nod. She was back on our side. Blue turned around and let out a roar to the I. Rex, rebelling against her.
The I. Rex let out an angry roar and used her one arm to whip Blue across the road. I watched in horror as Blue went flying and hit against the corner of a store.
Owen began pushing us backwards as the other two raptors began rebelling against the I. Rex. I realized they were ready to fight out. I let out a whistle and both girls darted and jumped towards the I. Rex.
"Run!" I screamed as the I. Rex became occupied by the two raptors. While Owen, Claire and the two boys darted to the right, I ran to the left where Blue was on the ground.
Owen stopped halfway.
"Julissa!" He yelled
"Just go! I have to get her!" I screamed back. He couldn't make it back to me without getting in between the fight with the I. Rex and raptors. He struggled internally but had ot go with Claire and the boys.
I pulled Blue back against a wall for more coverage and she let out a whimper of pain.
"Come on Blue!" I whispered gently feeling her legs and ribs for anything broken. She was in and out of consciousness.
I heard Owen fired a few shots. I peered around the corner, and unholstered a gun. I began shooting as well, making suring I wasn't aiming at the raptors.
I saw Claire run past the dinosaurs towards the paddocks.
Where the hell is she going? I thought
I peered back at the dinosaurs just in time to see Charlie being thrown into an open grill and being completely incinerated. My heart dropped and pain hit my heart. The I. Rex chomped down on Delta, throwing her, and killing her.
Tears were streaming down my face and i looked back at Blue she started to blink. I crouched beside her and stroked her face gently.
"Come on girl, get up" I said softly to her as the I. Rex roared.
I peered around the corner to see her trying to attack Owen and the boys.
I jumped out from the corner and began firing shots at her to distract her. She peeled away from the boys and glared at me.
Oh fuck.
She let out a monstrous roar, but before she could charge at me, Claire came running with a flare and hot behind her was the T. Rex.
Claire tossed the flare at the I. Rex and Rexy followed attacking the I. Rex.
I couldn't help but stare at the two giant carnivores going at it.
"Julissa! Run!" Owen yelled. I snapped out of my daze and ran towards Claire. She was hiding behind a giant rock. The boys ran over as well and we hid, watching the madness unfold. The I. Rex was beating Rexy. She had her down on the ground with a claw around her head. The I. Rex was about to end Rexy, but out of nowhere I heard Blue's calls.
Goosebumps ran over my body as I saw Blue charging towards the I. Rex, giving the T. Rex time to get up and get footing.
"We gotta go!" I said to everyone. We ran through the shops as the three dinosaurs fought.
The T. Rex threw the I. Rex against the ocean barriers. The I. Rex was weak at this point.
Before she could attack Rexy or Blue, the Mosasaurus jumped out of the water and dragged the I. Rex down, drowning her.
It suddenly became quiet. We watched the T. Rex and Blue stare at each other. The T. Rex decided to spare Blue's life and walked away towards the jungle.
Blue turned around and looked at Owen and I.
We took a few steps forward hoping, she would come to us. But she looked towards the jungle and then to us.
She made her choice.
She ran towards the jungle and I saw Owen's shoulders fall. I gently held his hand as we walked towards the middle of the now torn apart park street.
The entire park was demolished and the sun was creeping up. We got the kids to a ferry and rode with them to Costa Rica.
I fell asleep, leaning against Owen, his arm wrapped around me until we boarded off the ferry. Claire found a cot with the boys and had a medic check them. We found Barry and he offered me a blanket as I sat down, exhausted.
The cramps were getting worse, but I hid them from Owen.
"We need to get you checked out as soon as we get back to the states" He said
I nodded as he sat down next to me.
"So what do we do now?" I asked him, leaning my head on his shoulder. We watched as the boys were reunited with their parents.
"Probably stick together...for survival" He said making me smile.
We caught a flight back to Los Angeles. Still in dirty clothes, we walked through the terminal to see Jakob, Skye, and my mom waiting.
I let go of Owen's hand and ran towards them, tears coming down again. I hugged each person tightly as Owen approached. My mom pulled him into a tight hug.
"Thank you for bringing her home" I heard my mom whisper to Owen as I held onto Jakob.
"Come on, let's get you guys home, cleaned up, and I'm sure you are hungry" Skye said.
The next few days involved a lot of rest. Owen stayed at my mom's with me for a few days. We had a doctor's appointment to check on the pregnancy. The doctor confirmed that I had finished your first trimester and had six months left. Due to the trauma at the park, the doctor ordered more bed rest.
However, the next two months involved Claire, Owen and I going to federal court here and there to testify against InGen. During that time, my uncle, Ian Malcolm invited me to be a co-writer for a new book he was writing about Jurassic Park's past to the current situation. Through the lawsuit against InGen, employees and the visitors that were at the park ended up with a settlement. Owen and I decided to use that money to buy a house on the mountainside of California. During my 7th month of pregnancy the book and my research was released with high praise.
"You're almost 8 months pregnant and you're going to travel around the states for a book tour?" Owen snapped as you waddled over to a seat in the kitchen of our little cabin.
"Owen, i'm tired of being at home! You're lucky! You get to go to work every day!" I snapped back. Owen worked for a local police department as their K9 trainer.
"That's the whole point of bed rest!" He said angirly.
For the past few months, our relationship started to get rocky. We would butt heads more than the norm. He refused to go to LA with you to visit your mom and wanted to sell the cabin to move into a trailer home to travel.
"Well it's not your decision to make" I huffed
"That's our baby! Our decision" He said
"Oh really? Then why did you put up our cabin for sale?! When was it our decision to want to move into a van and give up a stable roof over our head especially with a baby on the way!" I yelled getting up.
"You knew this cabin was a temporary thing. You could have said something before we bought it" He snapped back.
I rolled my eyes in anger.
"I'm going to pack. I'll just be gone for two weeks and we're just traveling around California for now. After the baby we're touring other states" I said before waddling away to pack.
I heard Owen curse and the door slam. I closed my eyes and sighed. The pregnancy was rough, and our relationship just wasn't getting better.
2 months later I was in LA at my moms getting ready to go to the hospital. I had decided to spend my last month of pregnancy at my mom's to be closer to the hospital and because Owen sold the cabin and bought a trailer home to travel in. Owen refused to come due to his hatred for the city life.
"Did you call Owen?" I asked my mom for the 100th time as I got in her car.
"Skye called him and he's on his way, we have to go!" She said.
My water had broke and contractions were starting to get intense. At the hospital the pain was getting worse. Owen got there in time and stayed with me. Though we had our fights, it was all pushed aside for this moment. The birth was tough. It lasted 34 hours, but ended with a beautiful baby girl. For the first time in a long time I saw pride and pure love in Owen's eyes when he laid eyes on his daughter.
Winter Blue Grady
She was beautiful. She had emerald green eyes and dark hair.
Bringing her home to my mom's and having Owen finally with you was nice. We were a little family.
We are going to fast forward a bit so the next chapter will be two years after Winter's birth.
