Warning Warning: Spanking theme runs throughout Emmett's tale and some cussing too... dom dom dom:)

A Sorry Soldier

Jasper had removed his jeans and lay on his stomach in his favourite Cure t shirt which Alice loathed yet it always comforted him and blue boxers as his rear was throbbing and he contemplated going butt loose and fancy free. He cried softly into the pillow taking in his mate's scent and tried to block out his sister's weeping or the hard smacks he could almost feel as Rose's pain was engulfing him.

He was relieved when the house became silent and only comfort washed him now and he wished Esme would console him too. He closed his eyes and went over Emmett's punishment on that unpleasant day.

He went over and over that day and had done so since it happened. He had felt the guilt weighing him down more and more as time passed and Alice was still cross with him. Yet she was his world and if anything happened to her he would cease to exist. Even after how he had treated him, Emmett had been trying to get their relationship back on track and that made Jasper feel even worse.

Rose would hate him if she knew what had taken place and would never have taken the fall for him. She would have watched him fall. He winced at what his lil sister would think of him if she knew the truth and wondered why Em had not told her.

Jasper was ashamed of how he had treated his brother and was terrified of their Father finding out as he would remove his position. Being second meant everything to the lost soldier and he wished he could take it all back as he knew his Alice was no innocent to mischief and can look after herself.

The only time he did not think on it was when he was speeding down the empty roads. 'Why do it with Rose in the car you bloody fool and why let her take the blame? Why did I beat Em so bad?' He cried into the pillow and tried to think how to make it better, but all he could think about was the rip on his brother's thigh which had been done by the one who was put in charge to protect him..."So sorry Emmy." He whispered it to himself.

He lay there and tried to plan how to make it up to Em. He knew he was out in the forest somewhere working himself up and that sooner or later he would burst through that door and kick his ass...Jasper knew he would let him and they had needed a showdown since Jasper behaved like a tyrant to him.

He would make Emmett hurt him and then all would be forgiven. He knew his brother would need encouragement to really do damage as he was not a bastard that likes to inflict pain. 'Like I am...' He cringed and drifted and as he did he repeated the day he crossed the line, over and over...

One month earlier Emmett's Punishment

"Bend over the fuckin' bed Emmett." Jasper growled as he removed his thick brown belt from his jeans and snapped it against his thigh making the windows shake. If it had hurt the furious Deputy he did not show it as his face was blank; yet the fury was literally bouncing off the walls and enveloping Emmett.

"You need to calm down, come back in an hour. Please Jazz. You keep going on as if I was solely to blame. Alice kept daring me and grabbed the wheel, you know what a mad head she can get on when she is bored and you would not be acting this crazy if it had been me and Eddy in the car -" Emmett said shakily and was cut off when Jasper back handed him and knocked him back onto the bed.

"What the fuck Jasper!" He yelled and jumped off the other side and watched his brother as hurt, angry tears were running down his face as Emmett carefully touched his smarting cheek. "I cannot believe you have just done that. GET THE FLYING FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM." Emmett was trembling and began to clench his fists.

"You could have killed my wife! You can do what the hell you want with your worthless hide but when you're with my wife you protect her or you answer to me, not Carlisle...ME!" Jasper snarled as he moved towards his brother.

Em backed up and threw out his hands to ward off his coven leader. "I love Alice and will always watch out for her and you know that, it was an accident and she is not hurt." Emmett went to leave his own room as he wanted to give his brother chance to calm down.

"Do not dare walk away from me when you're about to be punished! You drove like a fool with my wife in the car now do as I say." Jasper was furious and his eyes blazed like hot coals. "Bend over the bed...NOW GODDAMN IT!"

"Jazz please, just wait until –"

"No. Are you going to disobey a direct order?" He said in a quiet yet deadly tone."What do you think Papa will say after what you have done today?"

"No Jasper, I do not disobey orders from you or Dad. But you are about too..." Emmett said slowly as he lowered his jeans and leaned over the bed, he hid his head in his folded arms and whimpered as this was the first time he had been afraid of being punished and the feeling made him feel sick.

He was not prepared for the hiding that he received and was too stunned by the force of the blows to protest. "Stop stop stop, oh God please stop just stop." He kept repeating it to deflect from the pain, fear and anger tearing into him.

"Damn it." Jasper muttered as the belt snapped in half after one hundred licks with a strong hand."Do not move your position do ya hear me." Jasper stalked from the room. Emmett lay trembling over the bed, he was sore and scared and reached for his phone and scrolled down to his Dad's name, he knew he was being foolish and very 'Eddy like' yet Jasper was angry and Emmett was scared.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Emmett looked over his shoulder at Jasper as he held the strap in his hand. "How dare you." He watched as Em dropped his phone and growled softly, he stopped abruptly when Jasper began to rumble deeply in his throat.

"Jazz you can't use that." Emmett shot up and yanked his jeans up. "You do not have permission, Dad told us that." Em was panicking and trying to think on his feet. "I do deserve it and Dad will give you consent so please go and phone him or I will. Please Jazz, it will give you time to calm down before you use it. Please, you need to calm down, you have already whipped me and my butts on fire. Please, If you use it without permission Dad will skin you, you must phone him or you can't use it."

"This is different." Jasper said quietly and walked towards his brother...

xxxxxxx

Jasper was startled back to awareness when his mother entered the room. He shook his head to dislodge the memory of his brother's tears and looked alarmed at Esme, who shut his door firmly and strode over to the bed and brushed the hair from his puffy eyes.

He could feel a steely determination emanating from her and he quickly stood up crying at the sudden pain that shot from his rear and down his legs. "At ease son. Your Father told me that he lost his temper with you; are you okay?" He sniffled and shrugged his shoulders before rushing up to his mother and hugging her tight. He leaned his head upon her soft head and cried.

"Please don't Mama." Esme was shocked that Jasper had realised that she had taken over his punishment and she shook her head sadly. "Your behaviour was deplorable son. However, your Father was wrong to deal with you in anger. Therefore I have decided to take over your punishment and that is final. Your Father will have an apology to make to you afterwards and you to him." She watched as Jasper began to panic.

"Calm yourself son. I do not want you to be embarrassed as after all I have seen it all before. I do want you to realise why we are so upset with you. You lied to the police and manipulated your sister."

"Mama that is not true." He yelled then instantly regretted it. "Sorry Mama."

"Lower your tone this instant! The fact that Rose loves you gave you the power to get her to lie for you. Your gift was not needed the results were the same. Those are not the actions of somebody who is Second in Command. That is not the actions of a caring brother; I understand Emmett is furious with you and I cannot say that I am surprised. Look at me son. You will take your punishment without fuss or I will insist that your Father restrains you. Do you understand me? I can easily phone him to come back from his hunt?"

"Yes Ma'am." Esme arranged the pillows in the middle of the bed and told her son to lie over them. The pillows raised his hindquarter and he hid his head in the duvet as he watched his mother leave to return a moment later with the paddle. He whimpered and went to move; a look from his mother settled him right down again.

Esme placed the paddle on the dressing table and walked to the bed. "Pull your pants down Jasper."

"Mama please I am a grown man I do not want you to see." He cried and stared at his Mother and sat back on his haunches.

"You are my son and I am going to smack your bare bottom for your disgraceful behaviour now pull them down or I shall do it for you." Jasper knew he would not win yet the thought of his mother seeing him in such a humiliating position made him panic and he got on his knees on the mattress and threw his arms around Esme, burying his head on her shoulder.

"Please Mama I won't fight you and will remain in position but please let me keep my pants." The panic and shame enveloped Esme and she stroked his hair and rocked him as he trembled. "Please."

"Jasper, do you allow for pants to remain on when you are in charge and correcting disgraceful behaviour?" She watched her son give a muffled no Ma'am and shake his head. She felt his anxiety and knew he was fighting the urge to flee.

"You punished Emmett last month for speeding with Alice in the car and wrapping it around a tree. Emmett was punished too severely in my book and was not allowed any allowances from you. You are in no position to be asking for favours young man."

"Please Ma'am. I have no right to ask and I did punish Emmett too harshly I do admit that and I regret it as I realise I am no better."

"No son, you were worse." Jasper backed away and sat on the bed and hugged his bare knees to his chest and buried his head and projected humiliation and misery into the room. Silent tears were streaming down his face and his shoulders were shaking.

"Okay Jasper you can keep the pants up. However If you go back on your word the pants are coming down." She said sternly yet continued to soothe him. "Calm down and come and finish our hug baby." He crawled back over to the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around Esme's waist and laid his head on her still chest.

Once Jasper had calmed himself Esme stroked his hair and kissed his head. "It is time honey as this is a first for us both, let us get it over with and move on. I meant what I said you will remain in position and give me no fuss or your pants will come down. Over the pillows now Jasper let us just end this day."

Esme pulled Jasper from her and focused on the task ahead and grew concerned when she thought he would go back on his promise; she was relieved when her reluctant boy slowly lowered himself over the pillows and buried his head peeking at her embarrassed and clearly uncomfortable. She had heard those smacks that Carlisle had administered to him and she was far from pleased.

"Thankyou kindly Mama for allowing me to keep my shorts." He mumbled into the pillow as he hid his head with the shame of the position yet the relief of his mother's clemency washed over Esme and she knew she had made the correct decision.

Esme removed her wedding band and placed it in her jean pocket and patted it lovingly. With one hand on the small of her son's trembling back she connected her open palm down on the centre of her son's throbbing behind smacking extremely fast and accurately.

Jasper sucked in a deep breath and held it as Esme spanked him repeatedly on his sore skin; the blue cotton boxers offering no protection from the swift, pointed harsh slaps. He released a long ragged breath and whimpered as the force remained consistently solid throughout the correction and Jasper bunched his fists underneath his pillow and gritted his teeth.

He was trying to do as he was told and take his punishment like a man as he did not want to cause his Mother any more upset. He was hurting and began to suck in air and raise his head from the pillow and try and look around at his Mother without breaking position.

The whimpers became more desperate when Esme suddenly changed tactics and slapped one area ten times before moving on to a different area. "Ma-Mama." Jasper choked on his venom and the tears began to slide down his cheeks.

The Matriarch began to lecture her son to refocus Jasper's unsettled attention and he tried to calm down once more, the sounds escaped him and the tears became heavier.

The sorry boy could not stop the venom as he cried even harder. His backside was throbbing and he felt his panic peeking and kept repeating to himself to calm down and take it. The undercurves of his butt was pulsing as Esme focused on them and spanked harshly.

She knew the smacks were sharp yet it was her words that were hurting him the most and instructed her boy to lean forward to wrap up this upsetting duty and continued the spanking picking up the pace further and adding new force with each blow until her boy was sobbing into the pillow and shaking. "Remain in position Jasper as we are nearly done now."

He watched as she retrieved the paddle. "Please Ma'am." He whispered and closed his eyes tight. The pain from the paddle shot through his raw skin and he cried in pain and became rigid. Five more connected to the centre of Jasper's bottom "Owwwwwwww, it hurts." He pleaded and began to fidget.

"Yes Jasper I believe that is the point. Your deceit has hurt me, your Father, Alice and Rosie. Emmett is furious with you Jasper as I would be if it were my mate. Only it was not my mate it was my daughter." The paddle got increasingly harder until Jasper was biting his lip and felt dizzy with the exertion of remaining in position.

His mother's words were adding salt to the wounds and he began to bite the scatter pillow and spat out white feathers. "Twenty five more to go and your slate will be wiped clean, well with me anyway..."

The paddle was used quickly yet the stinging blows were concentrated on the flaming under-curves of his bottom once more and Jasper broke down after the tenth smack and was sobbing quietly by the finish. He cried loudly when Esme put down the paddle and began to rub her son's shaking back...

"Hush my boy I know you have many burdens on your shoulders and I do understand that you need to cut loose from time to time and just be my boy. Yet Jasper having time to take a break and breaking the law are not one and the same. Now I want you on your best behaviour for the remainder of the night and no nonsense even when Emmett returns as that no pants rule still stands."

She watched him nod his head and sniffle into the ripped pillow. "Sit up baby that is it nice and slow." He gradually raised himself off the pillows and sat beside his mother whimpering quietly. "All is forgiven Jasper and I know that you are sorry and it was just a silly error in a normally very fine judgement."

"I am so-sorry Mama." He rested his head against Esme's shoulder and she put her arm around him. "Mama I need to tell you something about the day I punished Em."

"Go on son." Esme had been waiting for an explanation on why Emmett and Jasper had been so strained over the last month and she knew there was more to that day than the account that Jasper had given. "Jasper, you can tell me anything...Yes I may get cross, but I will never stop loving you and supporting your role as your Dad's second, you know that baby right?"

"Cosy." Emmett growled as he stood in the now open doorway. "All is forgiven my ass." He shouted barging through the door.

"Get up Jasper, that is what you get a spankin from Mom after what you did! Get up you cowardly piece of chicken shit."

"Emmett!" Esme shouted as she kept her arm around Jasper who had began to growl and shrugged Esme's arm off him and stood in front of her other son. Esme got in between them and began to feel the anger and guilt in the room and knew Jasper was deliberately goading his brother. "Jasper...What are you doing?"

Esme suddenly found herself being gently escorted from the room. Jasper stood in his doorway and looked at his mother as she looked back wide eyed that her son had just removed her from a room in her own house. "Sorry Mama." He said quietly and shut the door on her.

She was about to go back in when something stopped her as they were both riled up and her presence could make the situation more volatile and hoped Carlisle could hear the ruckus from the woods. Esme rushed to get her phone until Rose appeared at Jasper's door.

"Get back to your room young lady." Esme hissed harsher than she meant to as she did not want Rose being caught up in the middle. The noises were loud as furniture was being crashed and Jasper jeering at Em and more smashing.

"Mom I need to stop Em." She shouted angrily at her mother. "Jasper is getting him all worked up and I don't want him to get into trouble with Dad because of what me and Jazz did." Rose practically screamed it in Esme's face.

"What is going on here?"

"Oh Carlisle." Esme said relieved. "They are fighting and –" The pissed off Patriarch nodded once and spoke to his daughter.

"Your mother gave you an order, now GET to your room at once!" Rose bit her lip to prevent the outburst she was feeling and ran to her room and slammed the door. "That girl!" Carlisle muttered shaking his head as he placed his hand on the door when Esme touched his arm.

"Please be careful, Em is furious and Jasper is deliberately manipulating him." Carlisle ignored the noises from inside the room and enveloped his wife in a loving embrace as she was trembling from embarrassment at Jasper's dismissal.

"Did they touch you Esme?" He asked softly and kissed her hair.

"No, I was just shown the door." She pulled away when the window smashed and watched as Carlisle entered the room. The noises continued for a moment more and then Esme heard the noise of a fist connecting to marble stone flesh...Silence followed.

Then Esme heard the broken words of her son. "Sorry Dad, I thought you were Jasper..."

"Esme" Carlisle said as he opened the door. "Take Rose and Alice for a hunt. Do not fret my girl I was not injured." He gave a strained half smile and shut the door.

"Papa!" She heard Jasper cry out. A second bang and she heard her boy burst into tears and had to stop herself from entering and creating more turmoil.

"NEVER do that again!" She heard her husband growl the words from Jasper's room."You should not need telling young man."

"I won't, please Papa... Owwww." Esme went to fetch her daughter as the hiding continued and Jasper's tears were making her tremble...

Carlisle looked at his sons as they stood before him. Jasper was still shaking and upset, yet remained standing to attention embarrassed to be in just his tshirt, boxers and socks. His thighs were burning from the thrashing he had just received and he wanted to lie down in his broken room and be left alone.

Emmett had calmed down some and now looked sick with the realisation of what he had just done to his Dad. He kept peeking at Jasper and was not sure if he wanted to kick his ass or hug him as had been surprised by the smacks Jasper had just gotten when it was him that had hit his Dad.

"Jasper! Emmett would never have struck me if you had not been deliberately manipulating him."

"You did what?" Emmett shouted and was glad that Jasper had just got a hiding which meant he was not to blame and would not get into trouble.

"However..." Carlisle continued and turned to Emmett. "You were told to stay away and deliberately came here to cause trouble. Now you were warned of the consequences were you not?"

"Yes Dad, but –"

"There is not a good reason that you can give me Emmett Cullen. I should not be in the middle of your fighting and neither should Esme, who pushed my wife out the door?

"Me Sir."Jasper mumbled. "I didn't want her to get hurt." He said miserably and flinched expecting a smack.

"I am glad you had the insight to to that. However, the fact you were planning a fight makes this situation even worse doesn't it?"

"Yes Sir. I just thought that if Emmett hurt me, then I would be forgiven, I have a great deal for Em to forgive me over."

"Idiot!" Emmett hissed "and you didn't need to make me angry fool, I already was."

"Enough!"

"No Dad. Mr Second in Command needs a slap!" He spun round on Jasper." Do you remember what you did to me last month? Well do you? Remember how you made me feel like I was scum and was a danger to my own sister. The strap, how dare you and then do a shitty stunt like this." Emmett burst into angry tears and began to pace.

"Jasper, did you use the strap on your Brother? Why was I not informed boy?"

"I knew you would approve Sir." Jasper said digging deeper and deeper. "I was really scared of what could have happened to my wife and I used the strap as you would have done yourself."

"Emmett, why did you not inform me of your punishment?"

"Be-because I thought you knew."

"Jasper is NEVER allowed to use the strap without discussing it with me first." He turned back to his crying soldier. "Did I give you permission to go into my study?"

"No Sir!"

"Did I give you permission to use the strap?"

"No daddy."

"Start cleaning this mess up Jasper and the window is coming out of your allowance."

"Yes Sir," He looked around at the bomb site and cringed.

"You have two hours and it will be done right. All the broken furniture put neatly in the garden."

"Emmett with me...Jasper get moving as you do not want me to add disobedience to your list." Carlisle turned on his heels and left the room. "Emmett, now..."
