Jason's Christmas present

16

The next morning I was released from the hospital, with instruction for rest for the remainder of the week.
It was a Monday morning when I came home.
Jason took the doctor seriously and wouldn't even let me walk up the steps.
Ja.. Jason !!!
I laughed as he carried me into the living room and depositing me on the couch.
He pointed to the floor indicating to stay put.
I watched as he brought in my stuff and placed Jason Junior my teddy by the couch.
When he was done he came to snuggle up with me when there came a knock on the door.
Jason huffed as he went to answer the door.
I was surprised that he didn't grab his machete that was just a few feet from the front door.
He opened the door to two kids in tears.
I rushed over and threw the door wide open.

Jade's P.O.V.

I had to stop daddy, he was hurting mommy and my brother.
It was an. accident, I didn't mean to kill daddy.
But he killed mommy and was hitting brother.
I grabbed daddy's favorite toy, that he told me and brother never to touch.
It made a loud bang and daddy fill over.
I grabbed brother and ran, I saw that there was a cabin, with the lights on.
I ran up to the door and banged on it.
A really tall guy answered, he cocked his head down at me.
Brother wouldn't stop crying, I too had tears running down my cheeks also.
A lady came running over to us and threw the door open telling us to come inside.
I dragged brother in behind me, the nice lady had us sit on the couch.
Brother started to play with the huge teddy.
I took a deep breath to try to settle down.
The nice lady gave me and brother something to munch on and something to drink.
The tall man stood by the nice lady's side, he seemed confused.
So I took another deep breath as I told them what happened.

Amy's POV

These poor kids, they have nobody, sounds as if the father was a real piece of work.
After the little girl told me and Jason what happened she started to cry again.
You poor things, what's your names?
I'm Jade and this is Junior stated the little girl.
Well nice to meet yall I'm Amy and this is my husband Jason I said referring to Jason.
You are more then welcome to stay here with us.
Do you have any other family?
No, no mam the girl sobbed.
Ok ok it's ok, I knelt down and Jason followed suit.
Junior ran over to Jason squealing daddy!
No brother, that's not daddy, daddy is, is dead.
Junior ignored her and cling to my husband.
Up, up!
Jason looked over at me, not sure what to do.
He wants you to pick him up I said in Union with Jade.
Jason scooped up the boy in his arms.
He squeaked with laughter, as Jason stood up with him.
The little boy wrapped his small arms around Jason's neck and buried his face into his shoulder.
Junior fill asleep,softly snoring.
Jason sat on the couch cradling Junior.
Sorry my brother doesn't understand Jade said sniffing.
It's ok hon, I can't really have my own children, maybe you and your brother can stay here and be our kids, if you like.
Give it some thought I said smiling at her.
Follow me hon, you and your brother can share a room.
I gave her Jason's old room he used as a child.
Jade thanked me then announced she was going to lay down.
I tucked her in and left a nightlight on for her, I left the door cracked just in case she needed anything.

Jason's POV

The little boy called me dad, I was confused by this.
I don't get why he wanted me to hold him let alone be near him.
He even fill asleep in my arms!
I took him into my old room and lay him by his sister.
He whined a little when I released him from my embrace.
I found one of my stuffed animals and placed it in his tiny arms.
He muttered thank you daddy in his slumber.
I lightly patted his head, I was about to leave when the little girl called out to me.
I turned and saw her sitting up looking my way.
I came back over and crouched down by the bed and cocked my head.
Thank you for letting me and Junior stay here.
I began to nod my head then remembered the lighting.
Your welcome I whispered to her, she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I gently returned the hug, we don't have to stay if you don't want us to.
I pulled back and looked down at her, who was I to leave these poor kids out in the cold?
I might be a serial killer, well ex killer I guess but I'm not entirely mean.
No I replied stay here with us.
Can I ask you something?
Yes.
Why do you wear a mask?
Because I'm not that pretty to look at.
I felt my face heat up under the mask.
Can I ask you another question?
Yes.
Can we call you dad?
If you want, awe how sweet I heard Amy purr from behind me.
Amy came and stood behind us, hon I need to talk to you when you have a minute.
Ok I'll be right there, I placed Jade back in bed and followed my wife out back into the living room.
