When Jonny woke up the next morning, it was with a smile on his face despite all the drama from the previous night, despite only getting two hours of sleep, and despite the fact that he’d be finding out about his mother, one way or another, in a matter of hours.

She loved him. The girl of his dreams loved him back and it was all real. She fought for him last night, and she fought for him as hard as he was willing to fight for her, which was an indescribable feeling. She trusted him when he didn’t trust himself, and she let him make love to her. It was perfect. He couldn’t explain the sense of calm and contentment that washed over him as he held her once it was all over. He just knew that he was still feeling it three hours later. Leaving her lying there after making love to her for the first time was one of the hardest things he’s ever done. She had wanted to fall asleep in his arms, but they both knew that couldn’t happen with Estella on the prowl. Neither was willing to give her a chance to ruin the experience in any way, so he promised they’d fall asleep together soon, and that was a promise he intended to keep.

“I love you, Jonny Quest,” she had whispered as he leaned down to give her one last kiss before leaving. “More than anything,” she breathed.

“I love you too,” he smiled, kissing her again. “I’ll see you in a few hours,” he sighed, walking out of the room quietly.

Once in the safety of his own room, he had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, but only for a few hours. He was completely spent both physically and emotionally, but adrenaline woke him up anyway. He was tempted to stay in bed until noon, knowing that Race wouldn’t be back with everyone until at least then, but he was too anxious to just lie around. Plus, he needed to test the PDA he’d adapted at a sufficient distance from the lighthouse. He didn’t have much time for adjustments, if necessary, and he needed it to be right. Actually, he needed it to be perfect, even more so than before because Jessie’s safety was now dependent upon the device, as well. That thought sent a pang straight through his heart, but also made him jump up immediately to begin the day.

After a quick shower, he crept down the stairs slowly in the hopes of avoiding Estella completely. Before he could reach the bottom step, however, she had emerged from the kitchen with her arms crossed. He felt his body slump a little at the sight of her, but refused to let it get to him. He made a silent promise to himself that he wouldn’t. Jessie loved him no matter what and she believed in him. That was all he needed to get through this. It didn’t matter anymore how much Estella or his own twisted mind tried to mess with his confidence. All he had to do was picture that beautiful girl upstairs that trusted him with everything and it was enough to push down all the demons of doubt.

“I’m not gonna do this with you,” he said rudely, pushing past her gently when she tried to step in front of him.

“I’m sorry I mentioned your mother last night,” she sighed in an almost bored tone and Jonny forgot his promise immediately.

“No you’re not,” he scoffed. “You’re just sorry that your daughter heard you do it,” he glared.

“Jonny,” she started.

“No,” he interrupted. “Just leave me alone. I’ve never done anything to you to deserve this and I’ve certainly never done anything to your daughter to deserve this. I don’t care what you think about me, Estella. I used to…I really did, but I don’t give a shit anymore. Your opinion of me isn’t gonna sway what Jess thinks of me. We’ve known each other for twelve years. She knows all my secrets and she knows all my faults. I’m hardly perfect. I admit that, but Jessie knows it and still accepts me. That’s what friendship is, and above all else she’s my BEST FRIEND. Nothing you can say will ever change that. I will be in her life one way or another until the day I die because I don’t know any other way to be and I don’t want to either,” he finished softly and then turned to walk out the door.

Her condescending clapping stopped him in his tracks, however.

“Well, that was a mighty convincing performance Mr. Quest, but I still see right through you,” she sneered.

“Like I said,” he sighed, throwing his hands up in the air. “I don’t care what you think anymore and I’m not gonna argue with you. Just don’t talk to me,” he shook his head, quickly exiting through the front door, which he then leaned against to take a deep breath. “This is gonna be a long day,” he whispered to himself, making his way toward the lighthouse.

________________________________________
Jessie woke up with a smile on her face, as well, despite the stressful day she was about to face. She couldn’t help but worry about the future though. How could she avoid worry completely when the man she wanted to spend that future with was in so much danger? She was still giddy, however. Despite it all.

He loved her and she could feel just how much when they made love. It was so perfect and more than she could’ve ever imagined. She wished he could’ve been next to her when she woke up, but was quickly reminded why he wasn’t when her mother barged in with no warning a moment later. As Estella walked right up to her bed, Jessie made no attempt to conceal her state of undress beneath her blankets…not that she had a chance anyway.

“What’ve you done?” her mother whispered in shock once focused on her daughter’s appearance.

“Nothing that concerns you,” Jessie replied coolly.

“Well, your little boyfriend’s attitude makes sense now,” she sneered. “I guess he thinks he can be as rude to me as he wants now that he’s gotten into your pants. How could you be so careless?” she whispered.

“He’s rude to you because you’re a bitch,” Jessie shot back. “And I was careful. You’re the one that insisted I go on the pill, remember? You even took me to the doctor,” she smiled vindictively. “Thanks again for that by the way…made last night much more pleasurable.”

“JESSICA,” she screamed.

“WHAT?” Jessie screamed back, feeling only slightly guilty for throwing the situation in her mother’s face.

“Put your damn clothes on and pack a bag,” she ordered. “I will not allow this to continue.”

“Taking me away won’t stop anything,” Jessie sighed. “I’ve been away from him for months. Taking me away won’t make me forget how much I love him. I’ve tried to forget, but I can’t.”

“Now,” Estella yelled.

“No,” Jessie shook her head. “You have no right to push me around anymore. I’m eighteen and make my own decisions. I’ve tried to abide by your wishes and make you happy for too long. I’m tired and I can’t make you happy because I don’t want what you want. We can’t have a relationship until you accept that.”

“Why can’t you see that you’ll just be another notch on his belt?” Estella whispered defeatedly. “I know his type.”

“You know NOTHING about him if you could think that, mom. He loves me. I've never been surer of anything…except that I love him just as much,” she breathed. “You can try to change that all you want, but you’ll fail miserably and probably alienate me completely in the process.”

“You would choose him over me?” she screamed angrily.

“You would choose your misplaced hate for him over my happiness?” she responded bitterly. "And don’t you dare pretend like you’ve ever put me first. HE puts me first. HE takes care of me, and THAT’S been true since I was six years old,” she yelled. “I highly doubt he was being incredibly sweet and protective of me for the last twelve years just to get in my pants for a few minutes. If all he wanted was a piece of ass, he wouldn’t have to work so hard for it. In fact, I suspect all he’d really have to do is smile and be willing and he could have almost any girl in the world, but he wants me mom.”

“I thought that very same thing about your father, sweetheart. I thought I had tamed him,” she laughed without humor.

“I’m sorry that things didn’t work out for you and dad,” Jessie whispered. “…but that’s your issue and you need to stop putting it on me. Jonny and I may share certain personality traits with you and dad, but our relationship is NOTHING like yours. You and dad were never friends,” she breathed. “You guys didn’t even know each other for twelve hours let alone twelve years before you jumped into bed and conceived a child together. You may have loved each other eventually, but you never loved each other enough to make any real sacrifices. I’m just as stubborn as you and BELIEVE me Jonny is worse than dad, but we respect each other’s feelings and care enough to work through our disagreements and compromise. We’ve always done that as friends and now we’re doing it as more, so just stop mom…seriously,” Jessie warned. “I would choose him over anyone in this world,” she sighed. “Please don’t make me?”

“Fine… I’m going,” Estella cried, walking out of the room without looking back.

Once alone, Jessie began to sob uncontrollably. He mother never put her first.

________________________________________
Estella wiped at her eyes angrily as she headed back to her room and bumped right into Jonny on the way, who was too lost in thought to pay attention to where he was walking either.

“God…you’re EVERYWHERE,” Estella hissed.

“It’s my house,” Jonny replied in annoyance.

“Well, you’ll be happy to know that I’m leaving YOUR house,” she informed him. “You win.”

“I was never playing a game,” Jonny shook his head. “…and I never wanted you to leave. I just wanted you to treat me like a human being,” he sighed, knowing that Jessie must be upset.

“Whatever…Merry Christmas,” she said bitterly. "Oh, and when you hurt my daughter...not IF, but WHEN...you will answer to me," she warned, walking away without another word

"I'm not gonna hurt her," he whispered to himself.

He had come back to the house in the hopes of enlisting Jessie’s help with the PDA, but had a feeling that was gonna have to wait a bit now.

Her door was wide open when he got to her room and his heart broke a little when he heard her soft cries. She was curled up in a ball facing the opposite direction, so he quickly removed his shoes and crawled into bed with her. He didn’t care anymore.

She stiffened at first when he wrapped his arms around her, but then immediately relaxed into his warmth.

“I love you,” he whispered calmly in her ear. She took a deep breath, turning around at his words, and he began wiping the tears from her face the moment he could.

“She drives me crazy,” Jessie choked.

“I know,” he replied sympathetically, just holding her and playing with her hair for a few minutes.

“Alright,” she breathed. “I refuse to let this sidetrack me today or ruin our first Christmas together,” she said determinedly and sat up, wiping the last tears from her face.

Jonny couldn’t help but notice her bare back and Jessie blushed when she noticed his obvious distraction.

“So the PDA is good then?” she asked, trying to get back to business. She was praying that this day would end much better than it began…if only for Jonny’s sake. She wanted so badly for this to be the best Christmas of his life.

“I think so, but I wanted your input. This thing is our best shot,” he sighed, still staring at her exposed skin. She was much more fun to think about.

“How can I help?” she asked.

“Estella has left the property,” IRIS then interrupted and Jessie rolled her eyes.

“You ok?” Jonny wanted to know, rubbing the soft skin of her back.

“I will be,” she smiled. “Once we get home safe tonight and you keep your promise that I’ll get to fall asleep in your arms,” she finished nervously, knowing that the chances of that not happening were much greater for so many reasons.

“Everything’s gonna be alright,” he whispered.

“I trust you,” she responded simply. “I just don’t trust anything else right now,” she sighed. “So how can I help?”

“I need to make sure that this thing will work up to seventy miles away from the lighthouse with no interruption. I see no reason why it wouldn’t, but I’m not in a position to be leaving anything to chance. Other than that, I think I’ve tweaked it as close to perfection as it’s gonna get, but I wouldn’t mind a second opinion,” he smiled charmingly. “So do you wanna go for a drive?”

“Just let me grab a quick shower," she grinned, wrapping herself in a blanket and making her way towards her bathroom. “Wanna join me?” she then asked over her shoulder and laughed out loud at how quickly he began to undress. “Calm down tiger. I’ll get things started,” she smiled, turning on the water to let it come to a good temperature.

“I’ll just supervise,” he smiled, following her in and watching every move she made. “Are you ok?” he then asked soberly.

“Yeah,” she responded with a confused look.

“No,” he interrupted and then hesitated. “I mean are you sore or…are you ok?” he asked again softly, rubbing her hip with his thumb. She just smiled, kissing him gently and dropping her blanket to the floor.

“Take your pants off,” she giggled, jumping into the shower.

“God…I love you,” he declared, removing the rest of his clothes.

“I love you too,” she laughed. “Now get the shower.”

“No,” he emphasized, jumping in after her and pulling her as close as possible. “I really…really love you,” he breathed. “I’m so in love with you,” he whispered a little choked up, smoothing the hair out of her face. He felt like he needed to tell her that over and over in the next few hours for all the times he should’ve told her in the last few years…just in case he didn’t get a chance later. “I need you to know that and never forget.”

“I do and I won’t,” she smiled, kissing him passionately.

“Promise,” he breathed heavily against her lips, now smiling into the kiss.

“Pro---Ah,” she moaned, as he lifted her by the backs her thighs and pressed her against the wall. She could feel his hardness digging into her thigh. “Don’t let me fall,” she teased.

“Never,” he mumbled against her neck, collecting the small droplets of water that had gathered there and running his hands all over her body.

“Jonny,” she cried out as he pressed a firm palm against her stomach to hinder her arching body and then unwrapped her legs from around him.

“Shh…my turn to be in control,” he panted, gripping her hips and dropping very slowly to his knees while kissing practically every inch of her skin from neck to pelvis in the process. She particularly enjoyed the time he spent playing with her nipples.

“Mmm…Stop teasing,” she sighed, as he kissed around her inner thigh. “I didn’t tease you,” she pouted playfully.

“You’re so sexy,” he mumbled and felt her giggle. “You are,” he breathed in a completely aroused daze, standing back up to kiss her. “Everything about you.”

“So are you,” she whispered in his ear.

“No…I’m just selfish,” he breathed back, licking her neck.

“What?” she laughed, but it was without humor.

“I love you,” he whispered.

“Jonny,” she started with concern, but was interrupted when his fingers found their way inside her. “Distracting me won’t…Mmm,” she sighed, leaning her head back against the shower wall.

“I want you so bad. I’ve wanted you every second of every day for so long,” he groaned into her neck, while focusing all of his attention on the fingers inside her.

“Ha..are you,” she panted. “…sure you’ve never done this before?” she moaned.
“I’ve thought about it a lot,” he breathed.

She wasn’t gonna let him get away with it though, even though she wanted to give in to him so badly. It was still her intent to be the one taking care of him. She just wanted to focus all her energy on distracting him…at least for now. She’d gladly give him free reign once things got settled.

“What are to doing?” he groaned, when she pushed his hand away. He shut up the moment he saw the look in her eyes, however.

“Being selfish,” she grinned, turning off the water, leading him out of the shower, and pushing him down on the bathroom floor without warning. Then she sank down on him slowly with her hands planted firmly against his strong chest. It still hurt a little at first, but she was pleasantly surprised at the sensation that shot through her once he was completely inside her.

“Are you ok?” he panted.

“Mmm…yes,” she breathed, leaning down so they were forehead to forehead. “You feel good,” she whispered, drawing his tongue into her mouth. Then she sat up a little and began riding him painfully slow in his mind.

“Baby…you…Oh my God,” he gasped, throwing an arm over his eyes for a moment. He was afraid that the sight of her naked and wet on top of him would be too much to handle and, after everything she’d done for him in the last few hours, he wanted so badly to make her feel what he was feeling.

“Right there…ere,” she moaned, which made Jonny grip her hips tightly and intensify his actions in the hopes of driving her over the edge. “Mmm,” she whimpered in response, reaching back to brace herself against the sink and finally letting him take control.

“Ha…don’t stop,” she practically begged, never happier to be alone in the house with him. Then she felt an orgasm hit her that was like nothing she’d ever experienced on her own, and was light years ahead of the way he’d made her feel earlier that morning.

“Yes,” she whispered softly, and Jonny just enjoyed watching the emotions color her face, thanking all things holy that he was able to satisfy her, as well.

Jessie just closed her eyes and bit her lip as the pressure building inside her finally came to a head with what felt like an explosion inside of her.

“Jonny,” she cried out for anyone to hear and then collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily. “Mmm,” she sighed into his neck. “I’m supposed to be the one making you forget all our problems.”

“You just made me feel on top of the world for a hot moment,” he panted, stroking her hair as he felt her smile against his neck.

“How about we create a few more hot moments,” she laughed, shifting to allow him to roll on top of her.

“Gladly,” he grinned on top of her, beginning to make love to her anew. And right there on her bathroom floor she did what no one else could. She made him feel like he wasn’t alone. She made him feel like he could do anything.

________________________________________
About two hours later, they were almost far enough away to properly test the PDA and Jonny felt his heart begin to race.

“Nervous?” she asked, grabbing his hand when she noticed that he was breathing a little heavy.

“Yeah… and look,” he paused.

“What?” she insisted.

“I just wanna apologize in advance if I act like an ass at all tonight,” he told her.

“If?” she questioned and got him to smile.

“I love you more than anything,” he whispered seriously. “You can’t expect me to be rationale about your safety in a dangerous situation, which is why…”

“Don’t even say it,” she interrupted. “…and irrationality will only make the situation worse,” she pointed out patiently. “Let’s just get in and out, baby.”

“I hope it’s that simple,” he breathed, wanting to change the subject. “So on to slightly less serious matters…do you think your mom’s gonna tell Race?” he asked with a worried look.

“Impossible to say,” she sighed. “I’m leaning more towards yes though.”

“We should just tell him when we get home,” Jonny suggested.

“I know,” she acknowledged. “It’s just no one’s business, ya know? I wish we could keep it that way…at least for 24 hours,” she chuckled morosely.

“We love each other and know it,” he grinned, pulling the car to a stop. “Nothing else matters anymore. Not really. Like I said, no one can tear us apart unless we let them and I don’t intend on ever losing you,” he finished.

“So you’ll tell my dad and I’ll tell yours then?” she smiled.

“Sounds like a plan,” he sighed, getting out of the car to stretch.

“I was just kidding,” she laughed. “I’ll tell my father.”

“No…I want to Jess. I don’t want him thinking that I’m a coward or anything,” he told her.

“Jonny, no one could ever call you a coward with a straight face,” she countered.

“I’m serious. I wanna ask his permission,” he admitted slowly.

“His permission for what?” she asked a little heatedly. “He doesn’t own me.”

“Jess… come on,” he stopped her. “This is about respect. I want him to know that I respect him and that I respect you enough to discuss our relationship like an adult.”

“When did you get so mature on me?” she grinned.

“Probably when you went away to school,” he smiled, as she came towards him. “I had far too much alone time on my hands to think about what I really wanted outta this life. To think about you.”

“So I can take a little credit for this?” she asked.

“More than a little,” he responded, pulling her close and kissing her for a few minutes.

“Ok,” she laughed. “That’s not helping. Give me the PDA.”

“Here ya go,” he gave it to her willingly and held his breath as he watched her.

“Jess?” he questioned after about a minute.

“It looks good, J. You did a great job,” she grinned, hugging him close and feeling him let out a deep breath in relief. “Your dad would be so proud.”

“Let’s hope I can make him proud and happy this Christmas,” he replied a little distantly.

“You will,” she said confidently, rubbing her hands up and down his chest.

“Thank you for coming with me,” he murmured, grabbing her hands and kissing them.

“I love you,” she smiled. “I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else.”

“On to the next challenge of the day then?” he sighed.

“My father loves you,” she told him, getting back in the car. “I’m sure he’ll be none too pleased to hear of my recent de-flowering, but that’ll have nothing to do with you…even if he takes it out on you for a second. Do you wanna do this together?” she then asked.

“No. I’d rather do it alone,” he told her. “But I won’t use the word de-flower?” he smiled.

“Do you plan on telling him that we’re sleeping together? I thought you were just gonna profess your good intentions,” she said a little nervously.

“What good will that do if Estella tells him a day later? Don’t you think he’d take it better coming from me?” he asked.

“I’m not sure,” she breathed.

“He may already know anyway,” he pointed out.

“That’s true,” she realized. “Well, I hope it’s not, but it’d definitely be better coming from us. At least it wouldn’t be like an ambush that way. In fact, it’d probably be best coming from me.”

“I can handle it,” he grinned. “I promise. I want to.”

“Ok,” she relented. “He already knows I love you if that helps.”

“What?” he asked, completely thrown by the comment.

“We’ve discussed it recently,” she admitted. “I told my mom a few days ago in the heat of battle and I was afraid she’d tell my dad, so I just took the plunge and told him myself.”

“How…how’d he react,” Jonny faltered.

“He already knew,” she smiled. “And he seemed to be under the impression that you felt the same way. Oh…Hadji knows too by the way, and he also seemed to think that you felt the same way.”

“Your dad wasn’t angry?” he asked.

“No. I think he was happy, but in a sad way. Ya know?” she told him. "He said he knew this was coming."

“That’s good," Jonny breathed. "At least it won't be a total surprise. That should help. So I guess we were pretty obvious then?” he smiled.

“To everyone but ourselves,” she laughed.

“And my completely clueless father,” he added.

"Yeah, and about that...I’m not telling your father that I de-flowered you,” she grinned.

“Please don’t,” he laughed.

________________________________________
When they arrived back at the Compound, it was to a full house.

"Shit," Jonny whispered, stopping the car outside the gate.

"What?" Jessie wanted to know.

"My dad is gonna grab me the moment he sees me to talk. He was really pissed that I left last night," he sighed.

"Mine too," she breathed. "To find out how things went with you, I mean."

"Alright," he smiled. "Well, this will be good practice for tonight. I avoid my dad and you avoid yours."

"Ok," she agreed. "Wait, am I really telling your father?" she asked nervously and he had to laugh. She never got nervous.

"I'll tell him," he smiled. "It'll come better from me anyway. Plus, he's probably not in a very good mood right now."

"And my father is?" she countered. "I'm sure flying all night has kept him bright eyed and bushy tailed."

"Well, I want to tell your father," he told her. "So stop worrying," he grinned. "You're really cute when you worry though."

"How'd I get outta the hard part?" she asked.

"I musta gone a little crazy when you let me see you naked," he smirked.

"Shut up," she laughed. "Always trying to take care of me," she shook her head, climbing into his lap.

"Always will," he smiled, kissing her softly.

"I seem to remember you promising to let me take care of you last night too," she whispered against his lips.

"You did," he smiled. "You are...believe me."

"Alright, let's get the rest of this day going," she breathed.

"In a few minutes," he groaned, pulling her mouth back to his.
