Jessica Wasabi: The End
Chapter Thirteen
Jess' POV
"What if something happened?" I asked worriedly.
Kai and James were supposed to be at Jack's hours two hours earlier, and I hadn't heard anything from them. I was so worried...
"I'm sure they're fine, Jess," Jack told me.
I glanced at him, still a little upset about what had happened between us. I sighed and shook my head. "I've spent almost three months not knowing if he was even alive," I started, "Now that I know that he is, forgive me if I'm a little anxious." I played with my ring and sat on the couch, taking a deep breath.
Kim looked out the window and said, "Jess... They're here."
I shot up and went to the window excitedly. "Really?!" I looked out the window and saw a van in front of the house. I stepped back and closed my eyes, smiling.
"Are you ok?" Kim asked gently.
I let out a breath, my heart beating rapidly. "Would you believe that I'm nervous...?" I replied quietly.
Before anything else could be said, Morgan ran outside. "Daddy!" she yelled happily.
I watched through the window as Kai got out of the van, wearing his uniform, drop his bag, and kneel down to hug Morgan. His left arm was in a sling but he was smiling nonetheless. He looked at the house and I moved away from the window.
"What? Are you shy all of a sudden?" Jack said, "Go on." He motioned to the door.
I ran a hand down my stomach before walking out of the house. Kai grinned when he saw me and stood up. I wiped the tears from eyes, only to have more slid down my cheeks. I started walking towards him, then running, holding out my arms to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he hugged me with his one good arm.
"I missed you so much, Jessi," he told me gently.
"I missed you too," I whispered, my voice breaking. I pulled away and looked at him, "What happened to your arm?"
"I'll tell you later," he mumbled.
He cupped my cheek with his hand and kissed me. After a moment, I broke the kiss and he looked at me, smiling. He used his thumb to wipe away my tears and I smiled at him. Morgan looked up at us, smiling as well. I put my hand on her back and the other around Kai. I kissed his cheek and glanced back at the house. I could feel everyone watching us.
James got out of the van and walked up to us. "Nothing like seeing a family reunited," he said with a smile, "You look lovely, Jessica."
"Thank you, James," I replied.
"And you," he said to Morgan, "are growing up to be a beautiful little girl." He patted her on the back and she smiled politely. He looked back at me and Kai.
I rested my hand on my stomach subconsciously. "My friends and I are having a dinner to celebrate Kai coming home, would you like to join us?" I asked James.
"I would love to," he replied.
I motioned for him to follow us to the house. "Jessica," Kai said quietly, "are you feeling ok?"
"Yes, why?" I asked.
"You're holding your stomach..."
"Oh," I frowned and put my arm at my side, "I'm fine." I gave him a reassuring smile and we walked into the house.
Everyone greeted Kai and I introduced them to James. Jack was staying away from Kai and I frowned when I noticed this. I walked up to him and said quietly, "He's your cousin, talk to him."
"And he's your husband, tell him," he whispered, referring to my pregnancy.
I looked at him sternly. "That's beside the point," I hissed, "I will tell him back at the apartment. But for now, you should at least try to act like you're glad he's here."
He sighed, "Fine."
I turned around and saw Kai looking at us skeptically. I walked over to him and smiled as he put his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him. I looked up at him and pecked his lips gently. He gave me a small smile and glanced uneasily at Jack. "What's wrong?" I asked him.
He shook his head and I sighed. "So Kai," Jack started, "why don't you tell us how you convinced Jess to date you again? And how you got her to marry you?"
"Oh, I'm sure no one else would be interested in that story," he said with a small smile.
Everyone protested and asked to hear it. He sighed and we sat on the couch as he began, "Well, it was just before we had to leave for Drake's trial, Jess had agreed to meet me at the café and we started talking. Jack called her by accident while he was talking with Kim. He said that he didn't think their relationship would last very long and that hurt Jess. So I took the chance to try and win her back. After a few minutes of protesting, I kissed her and told her that I loved her. At first, she said that she didn't want to hurt Jack by staying in China with me, I convinced her that he'd be fine and she agreed to stay. She was still distant at first but after a while, it was just like old times.
"She stayed with one of our other friends but when we were seventeen, my grandmother got sick. My parents were moving us to New York City so they could take care of her... Jess wanted to go with us but she didn't have the money to. After struggling to keep a long-distance relationship going for six months, I decided to take a big step. We had both just turned eighteen, so I saved up to buy her a plane ticket to New York. I called her on Skype to tell her... as well as ask her to marry me.
"She, obviously, said yes. So we, not wanting to wait nor having the money for a big wedding, got married in an NYC courthouse the next month." He smiled at me.
"It wasn't the wedding I had dreamed of," I said, "but it was the man of my dreams, so I didn't care." I returned the smile and looked at him lovingly.
"Morgan was born a year later and... here we are," Kai concluded and kissed me gently.
"That's so sweet," Kim said with a smile.
I put my hand on my stomach again, feeling slight discomfort. "Jessi," Kai started, "why do you keep touching your stomach...?"
I looked at him. "Oh... I don't know," I lied.
He looked at me skeptically. "Are you sure you're feeling ok?" he asked.
"Yes, Kai," I rolled my eyes, starting to get annoyed with him.
He frowned and I sighed. "Well, actually..." I motioned for the others to go into the kitchen, "There is something I have to tell you..."
When everyone else had left the room, I took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant," I said quietly.
His eyes widened and a look of shock and anger appeared on his face. "You can't be."
"Excuse me?" I looked at him with confusion, "I thought you'd be happy..."
"I've been away for three months, Jessica," he looked at me critically.
I was shocked. "And just what are you implying?" I crossed my arms angrily.
"I don't think it's my baby."
So, I know I left it off abruptly (don't I always...?) but I really wanted to update tonight. And I had actually been thinking about this idea but then I was like, nah. But when it was suggested I was like, well then *evil smile* So I was kind of excited when I saw that suggestion.
Ok, Review?
Have a blessed day.
