Chapter 12
Jesse slowly opens her eyes as Lukas walks. She felt dizzy and ill. She could hear a ringing in her ears and she could vaguely see James talking to Lukas and he says something the tipped Lukas off because suddenly Lukas' grip tightens. "L...Lukas...?" Jesse whispers. Lukas looks down at her before looking up and continuing to walk, "..." Jesse closes her eyes and tries to focus on something other than her ankle. She smiles to herself and takes a deep breathe.
"Lukas, Are you sure the kids are ready to learn to walk?" Jesse leans against a door frame and holds little Elliot as he sucks on his thumb. Lukas looks at his wife and son then looks at Maggie. The kids are just barely nine months old. "Of course love. These kids are definitely ready." Lukas smiles and kisses his wife's head. Jesse rolls her eyes, "And when did you learn to walk?" Jesse asks and rests Elliot on her hip. His head rests on her chest. "Uhh... 18 months." Lukas gulps and puts Maggie on the ground. "Lukas, they are half the age you were when they learned. Are you SURE they are ready?" She asks and Lukas nods, "I'm sure." He smiles. "...Okay." Jesse smiles at her husband and he grabs Maggies hand. Maggie looks up at her dad and smiles, knowing what to do because they practiced before. She slowly stands and Elliot and Jesse watch. Lukas puts her feet on his and smiles before taking a step. Maggie laughs and giggles as she 'walks' with her father. "Daddy!" She giggles and Lukas looks at her, "Thats right. I'm your daddy!" He says and picks her up. She pecks her nose and hugs her. Maggie hugs back and giggles. Jesse looks at Lukas and Maggie then looks at Elliot, "Lets give then their space." She kisses her sons head before walking to the castles library.
Lukas lets out an annoyed groan as James tries to talk to him again. "Sir?" James looks at Lukas as they reach the sky kingdoms gates. "Go back to your mom." Lukas says and James looks down then runs off to his house. Lukas looks at his wife before carrying her inside. Maggie and Elliot both watch as their dad storms up the stairs to their parents room, with their mother in his arms. Jesse groans as Lukas lays her down and walks out of the room. "...Lukas... I love you..." She says in her unconscious state. Lukas goes to the room that was their back up armory when Luna attacked and looks for a first aid kit. Lukas turns, with the first aid kit and rolls up Jesse's pant leg. Jesse slowly opens her eyes minutes later and coughs. She felt a pain in her foot. "Ow..!" She whines and slowly tries to sit up. She feels something grab her leg and she yelps.
"Sorry." Lukas says, coldly then finishes wrapping up her leg.
"T-thanks Lukas." Jesse sits up and goes to kiss his cheek.
"..." Lukas moves away and sighs.
"What is it Lukas?" Jesse tilts her head.
"Where you gonna be married at some point?" Lukas sighs.
"Yeah, I married you remember?" Jesse slowly moves her foot off of her husband.
"...Not to me." Lukas looks at his wife and crosses his arms.
"..." Jesse looks into Lukas' eyes, "Lukas, I can't lie to you. I was g—"
"Who is Erik?!" Lukas suddenly yells.
Jesse tenses up and suddenly felt all the color in her face go away. She blinks and tries to explain but all she can say is, "Lukas, I—"
"Who. Is. Erik."
