A Broken Family

(Title says all.)

I know what you're thinking, 'gosh, another Jake and Rose kids story'. But mine will be a bit different, I can say that…

I've had this story in my mind, for about three months now. This is one of those stories, I kept pushing back, until now.

Note: This story takes place before Homecoming, where…it never happened.

Warning: I do not on the American Dragon. It is owned by Disney, and other important people… but I do own all characters not mentioned, on TV.

Chapter 1: Prologue

In this prologue, I shall tell you about Jake and Rose's lives…

Their relationship continued throughout high school, getting more serious at times. It seemed as if this love could never break. However, Rose remained in the Huntsclan, a dragon's mortal enemy. But if they ever found themselves against each other, they made sure none one them ever got hurt…

It wasn't until the end of high school, when Rose finally quit the Huntsclan. She had dreamed of this day for so long, and finally had the courage to do it. The Huntsman was furious, at this decision. Huntsgirl was top in her class, most suited for the role as a full Huntsmaster. He kicked Rose from the clan, and never wanted to see her again. Rose moved in with Jake, at his house.

Rose lived with Jake and his parents, for one year. Their relationship was put on a hold, since they were in the presences of his parents all the time. But after a year, Jake and Rose saved up enough money for their own small apartment, still really close to home. They finally were alone, and together.

After one year living together, it seemed this was the life Jake wanted. To spent the rest of his days, with the love of his life. However, his plans were put off hold for a bit, when and unexpected thing happened. Rose was pregnant.

This news shocked both of them, when they found out. Being 21 and pregnant wasn't a thing to be proud of. But never less, Jake still supported Rose through her times. And hoped for the day he would become a dad.

This brings us to our current day, the day of Rose's delivery...

Jake had rushed Rose into the hospital. She had complained about stomach pains all day. She requested that she go see the doctor, at once. It was a week until her delivery date, so fear of an early pregnancy ran through Jake's mind.

Jake helped Rose out into the car, and onto a wheelchair. He wheeled her up, to the emergency room. There they put her in a room, where they could monitor her health.

"It seems young Rose is ready to have the kids…" The doctor announced.

"Say what!" Jake said, racing the thought of that in his mind. "But I'm not ready…I'm," then, he stopped himself. "Wait, did you say, kids?"

"That is right, you guys are having twins!" The doctors cheered out. But Jake had a worried look on his face. He wondered how he could handle one child. Now he's having twins! "Let's get started…"

"Started?" Jake thought. A nurse through him some hospital clothes. Jake hurried and put them on. He walked over to Rose, and held her hand. "Everything's going to be okay…" He whispered.

"Jake, what did the doctor say?" Rose said, a bit delirious from the pain she felt.

"Well…let's just say you're going into early pregnancy…" Jake rushed out of his mouth. "And, we're having twins."

A shocked expression showed onto Rose's face. She knew twins ran in her genes, but to ever thing she was going to have them!

But the expression soon disappeared. Rose's heart started to race, as pain entered back into her stomach. The contractions started to start…

"Ms. Long, you're going to have to push!" Yelled the doctor.

Rose pushed as hard as she could. The pain was excruciating, even for a once Huntsgirl. But she kept on pushing, harder and harder.

Suddenly, a head popped out. The Doctor pulled out the baby, into the air.

"It's a boy!" He cried out. Jake cheered a bit; he had always wanted a son. Rose cheered out a little, but she was still in much pain.

The doctor cleaned up the baby, and set into Rose's arms. "What do you want to call him?" Jake looked over at Rose.

They had thought of some names before, but weren't totally convinced on one name. But It seemed Jake was letting Rose chose this kid's name. "William." She whispered out.

However, Rose had still something on her mind. Did this child have the mark of the Huntsclan? Would it be doomed, with the same destiny as she was?

Jake grabbed the baby, and searched its body. Across his chest, arms and legs, nothing. "No mark…" He whispered, to her. Rose let out a sigh of relief, from her joy.

The doctor left the room. "Notify me if there are any new contractions…" he spoke, before he exited. Jake now sat on a chair, next to Rose. While Rose was fast asleep, holding her baby.

It seemed like hours pasted by, and no new baby. Jake started to get a bit, bored, and sleepy. But he still waited patiently, for the hope of another child.

Just as Jake started to doze, a like of purple shined into the room. The Huntsman entered into the room, and walked over to Rose. He grabbed up the baby, and the baby started to cry.

"I will sure to teach you better than your mother…" He said, laughing.

Jake woke up instantly, and recognized that voice. It was the Huntsman, his mortal enemy. But Jake didn't understand, he checked William for any Huntsclan marks.

The Huntsman held up the crying baby, and looked over at Jake. "Do not worry, I shall take good care of," He looked down at his ankle, where a hospital tag was around. And under his foot, you could see the Huntsclan mark. "Young William!" He laughed.

Jake jumped from his seat. "No you can't-" he started to make out as he dragoned up. But when he was in full form, it was too late. The Huntsman was gone.

Jake felt horrible, at what just happened. He just let his only son; get taken away from the Huntsclan. He felt like crying, but knew that Rose was asleep. He did not want to wake her, and tell her the drastic news. Instead he sat back on the chair, and thought about his sorrow…

Suddenly, Rose's heart monitor started to beep loudly. Rose was awake, and was panicking a bit.

"What, what's happening?" Jake asked himself. Soon his doctor (along with several nurses) broke through the door. They went over, and examined Rose.

Rose was now sweating, harshly on her forehead. "She's going into shock. We need to do surgery now!" He yelled, putting on some gloves.

"Surgery!?"

"Yes, we need to get that baby out, it's stuck. We have to do surgery…it's the only way to save her, and the baby…" He said. Jake just had a realization at that moment. His heart started to race, even more than it was before.

Jake waited outside the surgery room, in hope for some news. Then, an hour later, his doctor walked out to him. He spoke, as he took off his face mask. "I'm sorry Jake…" He started to make out.

"What! What happened!!?" Jake screamed, grabbing the doctor's coat.

"We did the best that we could do. But Rose…well, she didn't make it." He calmly said.

Jake broke down; tears started to drip down his eyes. He couldn't believe it, the love of his life, gone. They finally are together, to only be alone once more.

Jake sat back down, started to weep. "But, we did save the baby. She is a girl…" the doctor added. "We need a name for her though…"

"Natalie," Jake whispered. The doctor knew Jake was grieving, so he walked away.

The only thing Jake was happy for was that his daughter had survived. He walked down to the incubators, and watched her squirm. The only thing running through his head was: how could he take care of this kid, alone? He Just couldn't handle this, not alone…

Once the baby was released from the hospital, Jake made a drastic decision. He knew he couldn't support a baby, on his own. So he decided, to give it up. He wanted to give it to someone he knew, just so he could know in his heart, she was safe. However, everyone he basically knew couldn't handle having a kid. His parents were way too old, to raise a new born. And they still had Haley to care for, being only 16. Trixie and Spud had their own careers to worry about, and couldn't handle watching a baby at this young of age.

He search wasn't going so well, he needed a break. He took off some time, and headed to the cemetery. Jake looked down at the grave of his grandfather. "If only you were here right now, Gramps…" He cried out. He really needed his grandfather's advice, and help right now. He walked out of the graveyard, carrying baby Natalie, and walked down into the streets…
His only option was Sun Park. He handed the ownership of Natalie, to her. Sun had always dreamed of having her own kids, but never settled down. So she gladly accepted, to adopt his child.

Jake couldn't live life anymore. Since then, Jake has gone through even more hardships. He couldn't afford to live in the apartment, now that Rose was gone. He ended up moving to an abandoned island, off the coast of New York. The magical community felt sorry for his sorrow, so they pitched in some money. Just enough for him to live on that island, for the rest of his life.

Haley agreed to take over the American Dragon position, and for him to return to the mainland, if only there were any serious missions.

This is where he and Fu dog spend the rest of their life. It was a quiet island, not much to see. But it was enough for Jake, because right now Jake didn't want to be with anyone…

I know the beginning is kind of...well, a lot. And I know I wrote it horrible xD But here's what you should of got out of it: Rose dies, Jake moves to an island off the New York, His son gets taken by the Huntsclan, and his daughter is being rasied by Sun Park. That's about it...

Next chapter will be the real story :) so look forward for that (or not x( )
