Jessica Wasabi: The End
Chapter Eighteen
Jess's POV
Jess's Pregnancy Progress:
Twelve Weeks
I woke up a few hours later, in the bedroom. I yawned and sat up, rubbing my eyes before looking at my phone, I saw that it was almost seven O'clock. I got up, hesitating as I felt slightly dizzy and shook my head before walking out to the living room. Kai was setting a back on the island and smiled when he saw me. "Did you sleep well?" he asked.
I nodded tiredly and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. I rested my head on his back as I hugged him and yawned again. Kai chuckled. "Are you still tired?" he asked.
"Mmhmm."
I let him go and looked at the bag on the island. "What's that?" I asked.
"Chinese take-out," he replied with a half-smile. "I got your favorite."
I smiled. "Awh, you're the best, Kai." I kissed his cheek.
"Yeah, well, I know."
"Hey, don't let it go to your head," I told him with a playful look.
He put his arm around my shoulders and kissed my forehead. "Alright, go sit down," he said. "I'll bring you your food.'
"Ok, and uh, there's some iced tea in the fridge if you'd be kind enough to pour me a glass?"
He rolled his eyes. "Of course, Jess."
"Thank you, baby."
I sat on the couch in the living room while I waited for Kai. After a few minutes, he set a plate of orange beef and fried rice on the coffee table before handing me a glass of raspberry iced tea. "Thanks, Kai," I said politely.
He nodded and went back to get his own food. When he returned, he sat beside me and turned on the TV. He flipped through a few channels before settling on ABC Family. "Did Morgan eat?" I asked.
"Yeah," he replied. "She was tired and went in a few minutes ago to get ready for bed."
"Oh, I should probably tuck her in," I said before getting up.
I walked to Morgan's room and she smiled when she saw me. I sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you all ready to go to sleep?" I asked.
"Yes, Momma," was the tired reply.
"Did you brush your teeth?"
She nodded and I didn't question it as I usually did. "Momma, will you read me a bedtime story?" she asked.
"Well, ok, just a short one." I got up and picked up a book from the shelf: Cinderella, it was Mo's favorite story.
She was asleep by the end of the story. I smiled and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight, Mo."
I stood up and left, turning out the light and closing the door half-way as I left. I decided to change into my pajamas, a tank top and shorts before I rejoined Kai on the couch. He put his arm around my shoulders and I picked up my plate as he asked, "Is she asleep?"
"She was out right before Cinderella could live happily ever after," I replied and he chuckled.
Kai smiled and kissed my forehead. "I missed my girls so much," he said quietly.
I brought my legs up next to me on the couch and leaned into his embrace. "We missed you too," I said as I looked up at him.
After a few minutes of sitting in a comfortable silence, I set my plate on the coffee table and hugged my husband, burying my face into his chest. He put his arm around me and rubbed my back gently. "Is my baby girl tired?" he asked with a baby voice. I nodded and he turned off the TV. "Come on, lets get to bed."
He stood up and took my hand, pulling me up. He led me into our room and I crawled into bed, pulling the cover over me while lying on my stomach. After a few minutes, Kai was lying beside me. As he was pulling the blanket over him, I noticed that he had put on a pair of shorts and took off his shirt. This made me blush.
Kai noticed that I was blushing and he smirked. "Like what you see?" he asked playfully.
I smiled sheepishly. "Shut up," I mumbled.
He chuckled and turned to lie on his right side, as to not hurt his injured arm, close to me. Kai looked at me with a loving smile and stared at me. I raised an eyebrow. "What?" I asked.
"I can never get over the fact that you're actually mine," he replied. "After everything we've been through, we ended up together."
I gave a small smile and he cupped my cheek with his right hand as he studied my face. "I love you, Jessi," he said gently. "You know that, don't you?"
"Of course I do," I said with slight confusion. "Why would you ask such a thing?"
He was quiet as he removed his hand from my cheek. "I just want to make sure you know," he mumbled as he brushed my hair out of my face.
I took his hand, intertwining our fingers. "I know you love me, Kai," I said quietly. "Just like you know that I love you."
He gave me a smile and kissed my forehead. I yawned and closed my eyes. "Goodnight, baby," he whispered.
"Goodnight," I replied, just as quiet.
I slept for a few hours before I started to have a nightmare, something that had been becoming more and more frequent in the last year. It was the same thing every time: Drake breaking out of prison, finding me, and kidnapping Morgan.
I woke up with a jolt, pushing myself up from the bed. I covered my face and took a breath before getting out of bed quickly. I went to Mo's room, pushing the door open just enough so that I could see her lying in her bed, sound asleep. I closed my eyes and went back to bed.
I sat in bed with my arms wrapped around my legs, which were up to my chest. After a few minutes, I felt Kai stir beside me and heard him ask groggily, "What's wrong, Jess?"
"Nothing," I replied with a shaky breath.
He sat up and turned on the lamp that sat on the nightstand. Kai looked at me with concern. "Are you still having that nightmare?" he asked and I nodded. He put his arm around me and I leaned into his embrace. "Drake's in prison, he's never going to get out, Jess. Morgan is perfectly safe."
"He's clever, Kai," I said quietly. "What if he does get out? If he finds me, he'll find Mo, and he'll take my family from me once again..."
"I won't let him do that," he told me. "I promise, for as long as I live, Drake will never hurt you, or our family, ever again." I took a breath and he kissed my forehead. "Go back to sleep."
Kai was soon asleep again but I stayed awake for about an hour before being able to go back to sleep.
Maybe I was just paranoid about my stepfather.
But what if I wasn't?
This is just a filler chapter because I haven't updated in a while. I'm sorry about that, I've been really busy these last few weeks. I'll try to update soon!
Have a blessed day,
