The Innocent Killer of Love (Jeff the Killer Romance)

It's All About Emma-Chap. 17

Tess' (P.O.V.) She went back inside when Chloe came out with a small bag. I was sitting next to Jeff with my head on his shoulder, feeling really exhausted. "What did you buy?" Liu asks annoyed. "Chill down. Just a bra and a pink bow for Emma. I think it'll be adorable with her little thick head of hair now." Chloe giggled and took out the head wrap bow. "Oh my gosh, that is so cute. I'll put it on her." I absolutely fell in love with it. Jeff and Liu laugh at us when we ooh and aah over Emma with her bow on. "It's matches her pink little dress and blue rain boots! So cute!" Chloe squeals. We basically died from adorableness. From my own daughter... I feel quite proud. The rest of the day Chloe went baby clothes shopping for Emma and I disagreeing with her doing it but she's stubborn! We dragged along the boys groaning and grumbling, while the girls had fun playing with the cute baby things. I do love Baby Toys R Us. But I hate the fact that Chloe's buying me everything! She filled up three buggies of toys, clothes, and small furniture things. I shook my head most of the time while Jeff chuckled at me, kissing my neck and shoulder with no shame. We held hands and watched Chloe work her magic. "I feel bad. Why does she have to do that for me?" I mumbled and hoping she didn't hear me. "Maybe because she loves you like I do Tess?" Jeff simple states. "I know that. It's just she's breaking the bank on us." I whispered. "And I don't mind that." Jeff chuckled with Emma in his right arm and pushing the stroller in the other. When we got on the bus, I could tell we were tired and grumpy. Well, at least I was. I leaned into Jeff and slept for the rest of the ride. Emma was in her stroller with Jeff's hand gripping it. He was wide awake for her. Which is what I love about him. He sacrifices himself and does anything for me. And Emma. By the way... It's almost my birthday. 4 weeks, February 11th. Oh my gosh. I'll actually be 28. But Jeff's only 25 now. This isn't normal. I wanna be like him. I don't want to grow anymore older. My mind slipped into a dream...

We were in the dining room at the castle, eating like kings and queens. "We have defeated Jane! The victory is ours and we will feast like there's no tomorrow! This is to you, my love. My Tess." Jeff declares as he lifts up his cup of red wine while everyone does the same. I lifted up my cup with pride and I suddenly looked at my hand. Oh... It was wrinkly and saggy. What? I looked at myself in the cup and realized I was old. I touched my face, still wrinkly and saggy. I touched my thin hair and pulled out a piece. White hair? But Jeff looks like he's still 25... What? Everyone turns to me when Emma hugs me from the back. She looked about 20 or so. Very young and so gorgeous. She had long black hair with the brightest skin and the bluest, capturing eyes ever. Her lips were a dark rose color and she held me close. "I love you, mother. Happy 87th birthday..."

I suddenly woke up screeching and everyone staring at me. "What's wrong Tess?" Jeff and Chloe asked me by my side. "What's wrong?" Some of the group muttered. Liu stops the bus and comes by my side. Everyone was surrounding me now. "I just need some air. Jeff come with me." I breathed in a shaky voice. I grabbed Jeff's hand and ran out the bus door. We were in parking space far from the city and it was pitch black outside except for the light post above us. We were far from the bus and I'm pretty they couldn't hear me. I mean, they have good hearing. I covered my face when the tears streamed down. "Tess? What was the nightmare about?" He whispered in a comforting voice. I swallowed and slowly put my hands down from my face. My hands were in fists. "I just... I had a dream... That I was a old grandma while you were still like... Still like you! 25 years old! And it finally the time that we beaten Jane! And I was 87! Is it really going to be that long to defeat her, Jeff? I'm so scared." I crawled to the ground and got into a ball, rocking myself. Jeff crouched down to my level and whispered to me, "Look, Tess, if that's what you really want... Then I'll turn you immortal. It's just it's going to have to be after all this Jane crap. Is that okay? I mean, it's going to be more than painful during the process and you slowly age. It's not the best thing ever." I stopped him. "If I die before you, than yes I want to be immortal. I don't want to die before you Jeff. I can't live like this anymore. I'm just fearful." I sobbed. He pulls me into him and we were standing now. "Don't worry, Tess. I will. Whatever you want. Just don't be fearful. You got me and everyone else that loves you and will protect you. You told me that today, remember?." He starts rubbing my back and I nuzzle my face against his neck. "Yes." I mumbled. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried on his shirt. "Sorry." I whispered. "It's okay. It's just black." He chuckled. I shivered violently and Jeff puts his big jean jacket on me. "Thanks, Jeff." I smiled. "No problem." He whispered into my hair. "I think we should go back. All your tears dry for me?" He whispered dryly. I nodded. "Good." He replied. It was awkward for the rest of the drive. We got home and ran for our room with Emma on my hip. Jeff followed me the whole way and offered to watch Emma so I could sleep. "No, Jeff. I got her. You need to sleep." I told him. "Bu-" I stopped him and I insisted to watch her. "Really, Jeff... I got her." I smiled. "Okay." He whispered as he changed into his pajamas. He fell into the bed and instantly snored. "Wow." I mumbled. I played the classical music quietly, rocked Emma, changed her diaper, fed her, changed her into her pajamas, and took off her bow from Chloe. I did everything to make her fall asleep. I even hummed her my favorite song. "🎶You are sunshine.. You make me happy when clouds are grey..🎶" I walked her around until her eyes closed and small snores came from her mouth. "Yes." I whispered. I gently put her in the crib with many blankets around her and over the crib. I locked the window above her and the window in the bathroom. Emma's crib was basically near the huge window that viewed the beautiful city at night. I also quietly walked to the door to lock it. I texted Chloe with my parent instincts to see if she locked the door. She answered back with a yes. I heard and Liu cooking something and I could definitely smell it. It smells delicious... Like soup almost. That must be for tomorrow's dinner because we already ate earlier. I couldn't wait for tomorrow, it was going to snow. But I was a little scared because I heard when it snows here... It's unbelievably cold. Like the kind of cold where you have to wear everything from your closet and you'll die if you don't. So I think we're all staying inside tomorrow. Jane popped into my all of the sudden and now I can't sleep. I tossed and turned with her voice in my head. "I'm going to get her... We're coming... We're coming..." I have to walk around and do something at least. Or eat. I really am hungry. I walked out of the room, locking it quietly with my spare key and walked down the stairs to see the group playing cards in the living room.
