Jessica Wasabi: The End

Chapter Twenty-Four
Jess' POV

Jess's Pregnancy Progress:
Fourteen Weeks

"Very well, then," Drake said, "This is your own choice."

He pulled another gun from his belt before slowly walking toward us, clicking the safety off. "Now the question is," he purred. "who first? Your husband," he pointed the gun at Kai. "or your daughter?" He repositioned the gun to face Morgan.

Kai pulled me to him, his hand pressing my head against his chest. I brought Morgan closer to us, holding her tightly, and I placed my other hand on my stomach. "I love you," Kai whispered, his lips just above my ear.

"I know," I said, barely auditable.

I felt the small movements of his chest as he chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

"I think I've made my decision," Drake said suddenly. "The child shall die first."

I grabbed Morgan and held her close to my side; she was shaking and I could feel her tears against my arm as she clung to me. "You'll be okay, Mo," I said quietly and bent to kiss her cheek.

"Not likely," Drake said as he took a step towards Morgan.

He pulled her from my arms. I reached out for her but he took her out of my reach. "Momma!" Morgan cried and took everything in me to stay where I was. "Help me, Daddy!"

Kai tensed. "Jess..." he said slowly, longing to help her.

"Just wait," I whispered and clung to him as Morgan continued to cry for help.

Ignoring your child when you know they're in danger is a lot like trying to prevent yourself from drowning by fighting the current. It's not going to end well.

I squeezed my eyes shut as Drake held the gun close to Morgan's head. A strong-willed daughter fought to get away but his arm was wrapped tight around her arm. I buried my face into Kai's chest and an agonizing silence hung in the air for a moment before a crash cut through the air.

My head snapped up and I looked at the door. A police team had knocked down the door and surrounded Drake, demanding that he drop the gun and step away from the child. As Morgan ran back to us, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I pulled Morgan close to me, holding on tightly and kissing her forehead. Kai put his arms around both me and Mo, kissing both of us.

"How did you know they'd come?" he asked quietly.

"The gun I fired," I replied. "I knew that someone was bound to hear it and call the police."

"And if they didn't?"

"We'd die a family."

As we were standing up, a detective walked up to us and began to ask us questioned about what had happened. I was holding Mo and was explaining the best I could while keeping back tears of relief and of memories of the past. "Jess," I heard a voice say and turned to see Jack.

He rushed up to me and I handed Morgan to Kai. Jack hugged me tightly and pulled away to look at my face. "Are you ok?" he asked. "What happened?"

"I'm fine," I replied. "I'll tell you later, okay?"

Later on that night, Kai and I took Morgan to meet the others at my uncle's house. My uncle greeted us and he hugged me. "How are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm fine," I said as I took Morgan's hand and led her into the living room where the others were waiting.

I explained what had happened when I left the apartment and up to when the police arrived at the dojo. Jerry found it exciting but everyone else was worried about what could've happened if my plan had failed. "You've could've gotten yourself killed," Jack said when I had finished.

"But I didn't," I replied.

"Kai, what were you thinking through all of this?" he asked.

"I thought that I had married an absolutely crazy, idiot of a girl," he said and I glared at him. "but she was still the smartest, bravest girl I've ever met." He gave me a smile and I rolled my eyes.

He went to kiss but I pushed him away. "Idiots don't know how to kiss," I said sassily.

"Mmm, well then I'll teach you," he mumbled and leaned closer, pressing his lips against mine softly.

I smiled into the kiss and his hand trailed down my arm and to my hand, holding it in his as though he were afraid to let me go. "Jess," Jack said, annoyed with us.

I waved him away and placed on my other hand on Kai's shoulder, deepening the kiss. Morgan forced her way between us, forcing us to part. I smiled and hugged her. She leaned back against me, rubbing her tired eyes. "Well, I think it's time we head home," I said as I stood up. "Morgan's been through a lot and it's past her bedtime." I picked up Morgan and she put her arms around me, resting her small head on my shoulder as she began to fall asleep. "Jack, tell Rudy that I won't be at work tomorrow, please."

"Okay," Jack replied.

As we headed out to the door, I said goodbye to my uncle, who then asked if he could stop by the next day. "I don't know," I replied. "I think I just want to spend time with Morgan and Kai tomorrow."

"Oh, of course," he said. "I'll see you soon, Jessica."

I nodded and we left. Once back at the apartment, I got Morgan into bed while Kai fixed something for us to eat. Mo fell asleep right away, and for a while, I stood outside her door, looking at her. I ran a hand down my small baby belly, sighing.

Kai came up behind me and put his arms around my waist. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Everything that happened," I replied. "It's so overwhelming... And I'm so scared of what else could happen."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, this baby. What if Drake gets out again? What if he comes after Morgan and the baby and you and everyone else I care about? What then?" I asked. "We were lucky this time. What if we're not the next?"

"We'll get through it, Jess. We always do."

I shook my head, sniffling, and he turned me to face him, wrapping his arms around me comfortingly. I leaned against his chest, tears pricking my eyes. "Kai, I don't think I'm ready to have this baby," I said quietly.

This story is a mess omg. So, you know how I said I would try to update over Christmas break? I didn't. To be honest, I didn't even touch this story. Or any other story on this account... I don't know. But hey, I updated and that's all that matters, right?

Ugh, I've been so busy. I had three tests today and last I just had like, had a mental breakdown trying to get my Biology homework done and study for the test and I had a crick in my neck that hurt like crazy and has been for the last couple of days. So I went to get my worksheets from a notebook and they weren't in there and I just kind of, dropped the notebook, threw down my pencil and fell onto the ground... It was a bad night...

But I feel like I did well on the tests (wait 'til I get my scores...) so that's all that matters.

And I know I'm rambling but oh well. I'm tired, so I'm gonna go. But first, I have a few new Wattpad stories that are kind of interesting so the link to that account is in my profile!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if so, please tell me what you think! :)

Have a blessed day,
