Jessica Wasabi: The End

Chapter Twenty-Five
Kai's POV

Jess's Pregnancy Progress:
Fifteen Weeks

I pulled the door to Morgan's room almost closed, leaving it open a couple of inches, before leading Jess into the living room. We sat on the couch and I asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm just scared of what could happen," Jess replied.

I sighed. "Drake is going back to prison, Jess," I said. "He can't hurt us anymore."

"But I know he'll find a way to. He always does..." She brought her legs up to her chest, hugging them.

"I understand but we'll be okay."

"You don't know that."

I frowned. Does my own wife not have faith that I'd keep our family safe? "I'll protect you, baby," I told her. "you and the kids. I'll keep you all safe, I promise."

She rested her head on her knees and sniffled. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close, but she soon pulled away from me. She stood up. "I'm going to bed," she said quietly and she turned to go to the bedroom. She wiped a tear away, trying to hiding it from me, but I still saw it.

I sighed. No matter what I did, it seemed that I could never make Jess feel safe. Her past was always with her and I understood how much that had effected her but still, I just wanted to protect my family. If I couldn't do that, what kind of a husband and father was I?

After a couple of hours, I walked into the bedroom. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt before climbing into the bed next to Jess. Gently, I placed my around around her, taking her hand and locking our fingers together. I kissed her shoulder, her skin soft beneath my lips, then pulled her closer to me. She groaned and shifted before becoming still once again.

When I woke up, the bed felt even instead of having its usual arch under the weight of my wife. I reached out to see if Jess was there but was only met with the cool mattress beneath my hand. I sat up and looked around. The dresser drawers were still open and the tank top and shorts Jess had fallen asleep in were thrown on the floor.

I stood up and went out into the living room but she wasn't there either. I took out my phone and called Jess, who picked up on the third ring. "What?" she asked, sounding out of breath.

"Hey, where are you?" I asked.

"The dojo," she replied. "Why?"

"Because I woke up and you were gone," I said. "You could've at least left me a note; I was worried about you."

"I'm sorry," she said. "I just... I couldn't sleep and I wanted to forget about everything for a little bit."

I sighed. "What time will you be back?"

"I'm leaving in a few minutes."

"Okay," I said. "Do you want me to make breakfast?"

"Do whatever you want." She was started to sound annoyed with me.

"Okay then... I'll see you in a little bit."

"Mmhm."

She hung up and I frowned. Why was she in such a bad mood?

I got Morgan up and dressed before Jess got back and was just setting breakfast on the table when she walked in. "Morning, Momma," Mo said with her mouth full.

Jess kissed her on the head and said, "Don't talk with your mouth full, Morgan; it's not nice."

Mo nodded and shoved another fork-full of scrambled eggs into her mouth. Jess glanced at the food on the table. "There's more if you want some, Jess," I said. "I can get it for you."

I started to stand up but she stopped me. "No, no," she said. "I don't really feel like eggs and bacon this morning."

"Oh," I hesitated. "Well I can make some thing else. What do you want? Pancakes, waffles, cereal-"

"Donuts."

She had made her way to the kitchen and was looking through the cabinets. "Okay," I said slowly. "They're on the counter."

Jess quickly located the box and picked up a filled donut, biting into it almost immediately. She made a face of disgust and spit it out into the trashcan. "Is this raspberry-filled?" she asked. "I hate raspberry-filled."

"You love raspberry-filled," I said, confused.

"No, I don't," she muttered as she walked back over to me.

I took the donut from her, taking a bite of it. "You did when you bought them."

"Daddy, don't talk with your mouth full," Morgan scolded. "It's not nice."

Jess laughed. "She sure told you, Daddy."

I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arm around Jess's waist, pulling her towards me. I looked up at her from the chair I was sitting in as she put her arm around my shoulders. "I'm gonna go shower," she said after a minute.

"Okay." I kissed the palm of her hand and she walked away.

I was watching a TV show with Morgan when Jess came out from the bathroom. "Oh, are we watching Sofia the First?" she asked, sitting down next to me.

"Momma, shhh!" Mo said as she stared at the TV screen.

I chuckled and snaked my arm around Jess's waist and she leaned into my embrace. I rubbed her stomach with my thump, thinking of the baby growing inside her. It made me smile and I looked at her. "What?" she asked with a small smile when she noticed me staring.

"Shh!" Mo said again.

I rested my forehead against Jess's. "Kai-"

"Shh," I said quietly and pecked her soft lips.

Jess's cheeks turned pink and her smile grew. I kissed her again, slowly, enjoying each second, never wanting it to end and hoping it never would. "I love you, Jessi," I whispered. "I promise, I always will."

"I love you, too."

Kind of just a filler chapter but oh well. I have finals next week so... I probably won't be writing much and wish me luck! ...I'm really going to need it :/
