Nightfall Chapter 23: Anger Management (Jake's POV)
The crisp autumn air whirled the leaves around us as I dragged my struggling children out back. I placed them on the ground in front of me staring them down. I couldn’t help but notice how similar they appeared from a distance but up close there was a sharp contrast. They were both the same russet color as my wolf, but Sarah held herself differently than my quick-tempered son who was beginning to remind me a bit of his Uncle Paul although I was reluctant to admit it. Sarah sat perfectly poised, head held high with wisdom emanating from the depths of her eyes that paralleled only my father in the vastness of knowledge that they held. Jake on the other hand slunk down into a sitting position his eyes flashing he clearly appeared to be pissed off at the world. Oh yea...he was sure to be a fun teenager…
I took a deep breath and crouched down in front of my children. “Ok guys, listen to me 你 both need to calm down and just relax in order to phase back. We need to talk. 你 can't keep fighting like this.” Sarah raised an eyebrow at me.
“What?” I asked in confusion. She huffed as she lithely jumped to her feet and grabbed one of the two diapers that were lain out for her 由 her Aunt Alice on the back steps. She then grabbed the pants and 衬衫 that were 下一个 to them and headed towards the woods.
“Where are 你 going, come here so that I can help you.” She huffed again and then her little voice rang out through my mind.
“I’m not completely helpless daddy. I can dress myself.” I watched her dumbstruck as she sauntered off. Okay… so my kid was merely days old, and already 表演 like a tween. Great. I turned back to Jake who was growling to himself about something as he watched his sister disappear behind a bush. I couldn’t help myself and smiled at him.
“Sisters are kind of annoying, I know what it’s like. Your aunts got on my nerves all the time.” His barking laugh was eerily similar to mine as his face smoothed over. “But that doesn’t change the fact that she is your alpha and your family and 你 need to respect her Jake.” I walked over to the stairs and grabbed his clothing and handed it to him but he just looked at me in confusion in the moments before he phased back and sat there with his arms reaching up for me. I shook my head as I smirked at him. He wanted to be the alpha yet he also appeared to like being babied. He was something else. As I knelt down to dress my son a new problem presented itself… I had no idea how to put a diaper on…I never had the chance to do it before. Blondie, Edward and Bella all thought it was weird when Ness was little so I didn’t have the chance to learn then. I picked up the diaper and laid it down on the ground and placed my squirming son on 最佳, 返回页首 of it. Ok, I know I had seen this on tv and Emily had changed her boys diapers a few times in front of me. I could do this...right?
“Come on little guy at least sit still and make this somewhat easy for daddy, kay?” He smirked back at me as if to say, “Payback’s a b.itch, huh?” and kept squirming as he peed all over me. “ARE 你 KIDDING ME?!” I growled. I was met 由 three laughs. One that I knew well the familiar trilling laugh of my wife and then there was one that was very similar to it only higher and quieter that mingled with the laughing baby in front of me. Ness had picked Sarah up and she strolled up to me with a baby wipe. Sarah was still laughing as I grabbed the wipe from my wife’s hands looking away from her. I was embarrassed that she had witnessed my ineptitude in diaper changing. Jake on the other hand had gotten up and was running around the back yard naked shrieking with laughter. My superb diaper job had resulted in it being wrapped around his ankle where it eventually fell off.
Sarah’s voice rang out through my mind, “Do 你 see what 你 and mommy have 给 me to work with here?” Her serious eyes were narrowed in annoyance as they followed her brother as he ran around the yard. It was creepy seeing what looked like a 3 月 old infant running.
I kissed my daughter’s forehead and smiled at her, “No one ever 说 it’s easy to be in charge of a pack sweetie.” Nessie was trying her hardest to stifle her laughter but her crimson eyes sparkled with amusement and the hold that her perfect teeth had on her bottom lip only lasted for so long before she erupted into giggles once more.
“Jake why don’t 你 go get cleaned up, I will take care of this. She smiled benevolently. “You did a good job you've never done this before…” Sarah grinned evilly as she interrupted her mother speaking out loud for the first time. Her little voice was soft and delicate and undeniably sweet. It was odd- it didn’t match her personality at all.
“Yea besides daddy, Jake is a pain in the…”
“SARAH!” Nessie chided her; Sarah looked down obviously it pained her to displease her mother.
“Sorry mama,” she mumbled. When Ness looked up at me there was a twinkle in her eyes. She was just as amazed as I was to hear our firstborn speak out loud for the first time. She gently nudged me towards the house. “Go on Jake, 你 kinda stink.” I kissed her cheek.
“Are 你 sure 你 can handle this?”
She nodded and her sweet face turned fierce as she hissed, “Jacob Edward Black that is enough get over here now.” To my shock my son skidded to a stop. All of the mischief flickered out of his eyes as though his mother had blown the flame out with her words. He toddled over to Nessie 表演 like the innocent infant he should be. I shook my head as I headed back into the house. Apparently this parenting thing was going to be yet one 更多 thing that Ness was perfect at.
On a whim I decided to go and peek at my other baby… the one with a motor. The 车库 was dim but it didn’t matter I could see just fine. I let out a sigh of relief as I saw the familiar silhouette of my bike parked safely in the farthest corner of the 车库 where I had left it. As I stepped closer to it and ran my hand along the side of the back end my fingers stopped over something rough and uneven. I clenched my jaw as I ran my hand over the smooth metal of the front end once 更多 trailing it back to the problem area. There were scratch marks all over my new Ducati. I growled and felt myself starting to tremble. I was going to have to put my kids in their place for sure. They couldn’t just walk around destroying their grandparent’s house and everything in it. Another growl erupted from deep within my chest. I didn’t realize how loud it was until Ness, Jake and Sarah came running up to me.
“Jake, what’s wrong?” Nessie asked, concern consuming her face. I felt the trembling becoming even 更多 furious as Nessie shoved the kids into the house and turned back to me. “Jake calm down. What is it?”
“They. Scratched. MY. BIKE.” I took a deep breath and momentarily calmed the tremors 由 the thought that my wife and children were so close that I might hurt them if I phased, plus I would finish off my bike and half of the cars in the 车库 as well. Nessie’s eyes widened as she scurried over to the side of the bike to take a look for herself. She gasped at what she saw.
“I'm sorry Jake we can have it fixed-”
“No Nessie, this is ridiculous. They need to learn how to behave. They tore the house apart and Sam could have been killed, now this on 最佳, 返回页首 of it? I will never feel comfortable having Charlie and Sue 或者 my father around them if they cannot learn to control themselves.” I was trembling with fury as Sarah came running up to me and fearlessly leapt up into my arms.
Nessie gasped, “Sarah no-” I felt the anger draining from me as I stared into my daughter’s 浓情巧克力 eyes. The same eyes that had haunted and controlled me for as long back as my life mattered… the eyes of her grandmother and mother. Her voice came out softly yet it was firm.
“Daddy it wasn’t my brothers 或者 sisters. I did it. It was an accident, I'm sorry.” I admired her resolve to take the blame but I knew it wasn’t her fault.
“Sarah-” I began to 问题 her but Jake came up to me and tugged on my leg with a serious look on his face for once. I bent down and picked him up with my free arm so that I was nestling them both to my chest.
He grinned at me innocently as he spoke, “Uncle Emmett 说 that he found it like that.” Sarah’s eyes widened as she looked back and forth from her brother to me. Jake shrugged as if to say, “What?” It was apparent that Sarah was going to be a very good leader, and she was loyal to her pack and family. She would gladly stand in the line of 火, 消防 for any of us. I was shocked 由 Jake's confession he obviously did 爱情 his sister deep down somewhere in the recesses of his 心 and didn't want her to take the blame. Yea... it was either that 或者 the fact that he was a little pot-stirrer. Regardless I was going to deal with Emmett for sure. Fuming I handed them to to their mother. “Renesmee?” Her eyes were as big as saucers as she quickly grabbed them and backed away. My vision shook as I stepped back from her.
"Get them out of here. Now.” Without a moment of hesitation she complied and shut the 车库 door behind her hissing, “Don’t do anything stupid Jacob, it’s just a bike we can get 你 another one.” JUST A BIKE?! That was it, the meager hold on my anger had snapped. The shaking consumed me as I stepped closer to Emmett’s stupid jeep in the 秒 that I approached it I phased. Smiling to myself in agreement with my son’s earlier sentiment… payback IS a bitch…

Edward is hot i have to admit but he even admits he's a killer in New moon and he is TOO much of a gentalmen! Bella need some one better than that who wont be tempted to kill her whenever they touch.
Jacob on the othe hand can let loose and have fun, Bella has know him her WHOLE life, hes just better for her. plus who doesnt 爱情 a shirtless werewolf with a SIX pack?
Jacob is kind of young for bella but if bella chooses Jake she wont have to completely FREEZE her life before she hits 20!
Edward is Bellas age but to be with him she has to go through TONS and TONS of pain when Edward bites her and freeze her life in its tracks to live for ETERNITY!
Bella always seems soo much mor conferable around jacob, but with edward shes always so stiff and seems so nervous.
Iv'e read every book and seen every movie at least 5 times so far and i started out team Edward then i realized JACOB is SO much better for Bella.
