Chapter 4- Kimiko age 2
Jasper's point of view.
.
Kimiko was building a tower out of blocks. I was just beginning to understand why people called this age the "terrible two's."
.
Yesterday, when Edward had tried to put her down for a nap, she had screamed "No!" and thrown a toy at him. He dodged it easily, but then she had started to throw a tantrum. Her anger had lashed out in hot waves, stronger than any other emotion in the house at the time, quickly giving me a nauseated feeling.
.
When I commented on this, Alice had laughed her pretty wind-chime laugh, and told me that if I thought it was bad now, it would be ten times worse when she was a teenager. At this, I shuddered.
.
It was bad enough being around the human teens at school. It hadn't occurred to me what it would be like to live with one. The mood swings alone would drive me insane, not to mention the overwhelming angst. Then again, I did live with Edward….
.
Who threw a pillow at me for this thought. He hadn't been as amused as I was by this. I turned my attention back to Kimiko. Alice had tied her hair back into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon. Originally, it had been in a bow, but now was a knot with the excess ribbon trailing down her back. She had also managed to get a speck of dirt on her cheek.
.
Alice was going to kill me for allowing her to get this messy.
.
I wondered again how I wound up on babysitting duty. I wasn't the girl's favorite of the family, not even her favorite to annoy. (That position was Edward's, with Rosalie and Alice tying for being the girl's favorite overall.)
.
That's right, Kimiko had thrown tantrums (and various other things) at anyone outside the family who tried to babysit her, so Edward and I were supposed to be watching her while the other's hunted. Except for Edward was reading.
.
"Jasper, I can hear what you're thinking. And I'm paying attention to Kimiko as well. If she gets tired of the blocks, I'll put down the book and do something with her. But, right now I'm in the middle of Atlas Shrugged, and I would really like to finish it."
.
Whatever.
.
End Chapter 4. Yes I live! It's been 3 years since I did anything for this story! For this I apologize greatly! But after discovering Fruit's Basket, I also got into a huge amount of other Anime! I know that many of the early reviewers of this story might want to kill me, but keep in mind, I do have 79 pages written out for this, and I will eventually post all of that, and finish the story! Again, sorry for the wait!
