Chapter 1 of Big Brother

Jackson Overland tapped his pencil on the paper set before him. He took a deep breath and placed the pencil down and…

"Jack!"

"What?" He shouted so he'd be heard from outside his room. He then was given an answer, but it was said to fast. "Come in here."

The door knob moved and in walked Jack's sister. The little four year old had brown hair, and brown eyes, and looked just like him.

"What is it, Emma?" Jackson asked as he lifted her to sit on his knee.

"Can we play a game?" She asked in her little girl voice. Jack looked back at his paper.

"Emma, I…." He stopped and rolled his eyes with a sigh. "Alright."

"Yeah!" She squealed and jumped off his knee and ran to the door. Jack smiled and shook his head as he followed her. Once they were outside he kneeled to her level.

"Now, what do you want to do?"

"You're da' the monster, and you have to get me!" Emma giggled and took off running. Of course, Jack already knew what she'd wanted to play. She asked him to do this every day.

"I'm going to get you!" He shouted as he slowly went after her, pretending to run. He got closer to her and snagged her arm.

"Got you! Now, I'm going to eat you! Arrrgh!" Jackson began tickling her and she squirmed on the ground laughing and faintly slapping at his hands. He then swiftly picked her up and placed her on his hip.

"Now what?" Jack asked.

"Horsey! You be the horsey, and I ride you!" She wiggled her way down to the ground.

Jack got on his hands and knees and made horse noises. Emma scooted onto his back and pretended to kick his sides. He began moving around, making sure to not put his hands and knees on anything hard.

After they played horsey for a while, they went to the dirt pile and dug around for a while.

"Jackson, time for dinner." Rang his mother's voice from inside the house.

"Okay!" Jack grabbed Emma by the waist. "Come on, Emma."

…..

Jack fell backwards onto his bed, exhausted.

"Little girls, sure do wear you out." He mumbled as he dragged his hand over his face. "But I'd do anything for Emma." Jack fell asleep within minutes.

A/N

I was have MAJOR writer's block earlier! I'm SO glad that it's gone, it was driving me CRAZY!

I got the inspiration for this because I babysit my 10 yr. old brother, his 10 yr. old friend, and his friend's two younger sisters. One of them is 7 and the other is 4. Watching and interacting with these kids has made me feel even more like Jack. I understand why he'd risk his life for his sister. I love these kids so much, I would die for them in a heartbeat.

This will be a series of one-shots about Jack and his sister. Sibling fluff galore!
