Jake and Jenny

Jake and Jenny is the romantic relationship see in in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Jake and Jenny is the friendship and current romantic relationship between Jake Stewart and Jenny Blake seen in Ryan Carter and Gabriel Simons' story routes.

In Ryan's route, the two surprisingly never interact with each other in season 1. They finally meet in season 2 where they seem to get along fairly well. Jake helps Jenny, Ryan and the player find out who is sending Jenny and the player threatening messages. Jake at first doesn't show that much interest in Jenny since he still has feelings for the player, and only views her as a friend and as his boss's little sister.

After Jake gets shot by Alicia Boone during a car chase with her after finding out that she was the blackmailer sending threatening messages, Jenny shows deep concern for Jake and the two are later revealed to be hanging out together and eventually start a secret relationship which they keep from Ryan due to him being protective over Jenny. They both attended Ryan and the player's wedding where Jenny scolded Jake for being sad due to him still having feelings for the player and told him that they were dating now. Jake also seemed to be jealous of Jenny spending time with her and Ryan's childhood friend, Zayne. At the wedding, Jake also saved Jenny from drowning and their relationship was revealed to Ryan, he was at first upset with them but eventually gave his blessing since he knew that Jake was a good man.

In season 3 of Ryan's route, which takes place 3 years after season 2. The two still continue to date and are both the godparents of Ryan's son, which shows that Ryan trusts them with his son's life and to take care of him if something were to happen to him and the player. In season 3, Jenny wants to have a baby with Jake and opts to get pregnant, and by the end of chapter 10 she succeeds in her quest as she reveals that she is indeed pregnant with Jake's child, and that the two will have a baby together and be parents. In the good ending of chapter 11, it's revealed that they had twin girls names Laure and Anne, Jake is never seen around them or talking about them though like Jenny is but it's clear that Jenny is very happy with her life so Jake is probably happy too.

In Gabriel's story route, their relationship is a little different but overall the same. Jenny begins to work at Carter Corp and Ryan forces Jake to be her bodyguard to protect her which annoys Jenny since she believes that she can handle herself, and only Jake knows that Ryan and Jenny are related. The two appear to hate and dislike each other at first and insult each other whenever they have the chance. But what actually is going on is that the two have a secret on again-off again relationship and are secretly dating. Jenny gets extremely jealous when Jake shows interest in Lisa Parker, but due to him still being into Jenny, he calls things off with Lisa, saying that he's just not ready for a relationship (which is a lie since he's secretly dating Jenny). Throughout chapters it's shown that the two actually do trust and care about each other and the player does often suspect that something is going on between them.

Their relationship is revealed to the player in both the good and bad endings. In the good ending, the player thinks that Gabriel is cheating on her with Jenny and shows up to Jenny's Apartment to confront him, but is shocked to see that it's actually Jake there shirtless and the two tell her about them and begin making out. In the bad ending, their relationship is revealed by accident after Jake mistakenly calls Jenny kitten after accidently pulling her hair, which makes the player put two and two together and get mad at Jenny for lying to her.

To sum up their relationship, they care very much about each other and do seem to be in love, but it is safe to assume that Jake settled for Jenny. Jake originally loved and wanted to be with the player, but after realizing that he could never be with her since she loved Ryan, he moved on and decided to date Jenny, which wouldn't have happened if the player felt the same way about him. He did seem to be disappointed that he was with Jenny and not the player sometimes, which Jenny probably knew since she snapped at him for it, but that doesn't mean he loves Jenny any less. In Gabriel's route, their relationship is a bit more childish and immature, but that's only because they really do like each other and need to learn to get over their jealousy.

Jake and Jenny are more than likely going to get married one day and raise their new family which shows that they're in it for the long haul. But despite dating in 2 different story routes, Jenny does not appear at all in Jake's story route which is probably for the best so there's no confusion about their relationship.
