I know I always ask you guys for suggestions and I love that you give me some, but it's hard to put them all in. I want to write what you wanna see so this chapter probably won't be my best. I'm trying very hard to put in what you guys want, like Kick, but I have a hard time portraying Kim so the characters might be a little(a lot) OOC. By asking to see Kick, it's great because I'm able to work on how I portray the characters and develop my writing skills.

A big thanks to everyone who reviews and gives me ideas, it really means a lot and makes me feel like, wow, there are people that want me to update and think my stories are worth reading. It's amazing, thank you.

And... I'm getting sappy(DX), but I'm done now, so you can move on.

Chapter Six

Jack's POV

I excused myself from the living room and motioned for Kim to follow me; we went into the kitchen. We stood in an awkward silence for a minute before she said, "I'm... sorry about yesterday, I overreacted."

"I don't blame you," I replied, "You were right, I'd be jealous too... Jess heard us fighting."

"Oh no! What did she say about it?" she asked.

"She feels bad about it," I told her, "thinks it's her fault... Would you mind talking to her?"

"Of course I'll talk to her," she smiled understandingly.

"Thank you, Kimmy," I hugged her and pecked her soft lips. I rested my forehead against hers, taking her hands in mine, and smiled. "Hey, and Jess and I are only friends, understand?"

She rolled her eyes with a smile and nodded. I went to kiss her but she pulled away and I whined in protest. She smirked at me and walked out of the room.

Jess's POV

Kim walked out of the kitchen and smiled at me. I glanced at the ground.

Morgan tried to wiggle out of my grasp and I set her down. She looked up at the others and looked at me disapprovingly before glaring at my friends as she walked out of the room. I laughed and said, "I don't think she's very fond of you guys."

"Well she is Kai's kid," Jerry muttered negatively.

I shot him a glare. "I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about Kai in a negative way," I snapped.

He raised his hands in surrender.

"Oh leave her alone, Jerry," Kim told him, "Jessica, can I talk to you for a minute?"

I hesitantly nodded and followed her into the kitchen just as Jack went into the living room.

"Jess," she started, "Jack told me that you think it's your fault that we fought last night."

I gripped my necklace, weaving the ring between my fingers nervously. "Well... yeah," I mumbled.

"Jess, it wasn't your fault!" she told me as she gripped my shoulders gently.

I immediately pulled away. "Kim, I heard you fighting!" I said, "You were upset that Jack was acting the way he did when we were dating..."

"Jack is a very loyal person, you know that. And besides," she lowered her voice, "you're married to Kai, the way you talk about him... you would never cheat on him."

I closed my eyes for a moment.

"I'm not angry with you," she told me, "I was only upset because I've been stressing lately and when you showed up so unexpectedly I felt a bit threatened."

I shook my head and sat at the table. "Do you still feel threatened?" I asked quietly.

"No," Kim replied, "I promise, Jess, I understand now."

I gave her a small smile. "That's... a load off my mind," I muttered, "Thank you."

She smiled at me.

I bit my lower lip. "Can I tell you something...?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yes, anything, what's wrong?" she replied.

"I haven't told anyone this but..." I paused and told her what I had been keeping secret since Kai left for the army two months earlier.

Jack's POV

There was a squeal of joy from the kitchen, which I recognized as Kim, and then a 'shush' from Jess. "Shut up about it!" I could barely hear Jess say and I looked at the kitchen questionably.

I could hear Kim giggling happily and say, "Oh Jess, that's wonderful!"

I looked at the others and at once we all walked quietly towards the kitchen door. Kneeling down, we placed our ears on the door so we could hear the girls talking.

"It is," Jess agreed, "But I'm so scared. I can't do this without Kai. Mo is already getting on my nerves; I love her so much but if I can't handle her then how can I..."

Everything went silent and I glanced at Jerry and Milton.

The door suddenly opened and the three of us feel forward. We looked up, smiling nervously at the glaring girls like we were children that just been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

"Whoops," we mumbled.

"Yeah, 'whoops'," Jess said angrily, "You were spying on us! How dare you?!"

"Jack, when I ask to talk to someone, that means privately!" Kim snapped and instantly the two started yelling at all of us.

After a few minutes, they stopped yelling and the three of us stood up.

"So..." Milton said slowly, "...what are you scared of?"

Jess shot him a glare. "That is none of your business!" she snapped.

Jess, Kim, and I sat on the couch and Milton and Jerry sat in chairs on either side of the couch. "So Jess, you still do karate, I assume?" Milton asked.

"No, actually I don't," she replied remorsefully, "I gave it up when I got pregnant, telling myself I would get back to it after Morgan was born but, I never did..."

"Hey, aren't you looking for a job?" I asked her and she nodded, "Rudy's been looking for another sensei, I'm sure he'd hire you."

She smiled. "I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty," she said with a slight laugh.

"Well you should at least ask about it," Milton told her.

Jess glanced at Kim and they both shrugged and she said, "I guess I'll do that later on, then."

"Momma!" Morgan yelled from down the hall, "There's a spider in the bathroom!"

Jess sighed and stood up. "I'll be back," she mumbled and went down the hall.

Milton, Jerry, and I watched as she left and waited until she was in the bathroom to crowd around Kim. "What'd she tell you?" we asked all at once.

Kim crossed her arms and said sternly, "I'm ashamed of you guys. Jess told me in confidence and I can't tell you!"

"Come on, Kim!" I begged, "Please! We're gonna find out eventually."

"Oh boy will you," she muttered, "No! She'll tell you when she's ready."

We heard Jess walking back and all went back to our original places.

We didn't ask about it again and after another hour of talking, Milton and Jerry left and Jess decided to go ask Rudy about that job. Leaving me and Kim alone with her evil little girl.

Jess's POV

I drove to the mall and walked to the dojo. "Hey, Rudy," I said as I walked inside, "Jack said you were looking for another sensei, are you?"

"Yeah," Rudy replied as he put some Bo staffs away, "Why? Are you interested in the job?"

"Yes, but I could only teach beginners and only for a couple of months," I explained.

"Beginners?" he asked, "From what I remember, Jess, you would be capable of teaching an advance class."

"I wish I could but I haven't done karate in several years so I think it would be best if I taught a beginner class... What do you think? Will you give me chance?"

He thought it over for a minute. "I guess I could give you a week and see how things go," he said with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you, Rudy!" I exclaimed happily.

Ok, I had a job, maybe, but I still needed to find another place to stay. A hotel was out of the question; last time Kai and I took Morgan to a hotel we had to pay twice as much as usual because of what she broke, and I didn't have enough money to do that.

But things were starting to get a little better. Hopefully it would stay that way.

I suck at ending chapters man!

I'm sick with the flu today... But I'm feeling much better so hopefully I'll be back to school tomorrow.

I will get better at writing Kick, I promise! But that's just a start, just a little fluff, it'll get better... I hope.
And that's all I have to say because of the stupid 'mushy' stuff I wrote up.

Have a blessed day.
