NPOV
When Bella came storming into the office, I pointed her in the right direction. I didn't even get to eavesdrop because I was actually working for a change. I found out what was going on later from Emmett, and I was beyond pissed. The bastard that knocked up my sister and abandoned her just showed up at her doorstep. I would kill him. I was going to cut off his measly balls. You don't mess with my sister.
I was taking my anger out on the chicken I was fixing for dinner. I know I've repeatedly said that I don't cook for anyone, but desperate times call for desperate measures or whatever.
"How the hell did you get in my house?" Jacob asked as he stormed into the kitchen.
"Hi Jake," I smiled. "Did you have a nice day at work?"
He threw his keys on the bar. "Answer the damn question before I arrest you for breaking and entering."
"I found your spare key," I explained. He didn't need to know that I had been spying on him from my bedroom.
"So you just decided to come on in and raid my kitchen?" he asked incredulously.
"No, silly," I replied. "I'm cooking you dinner because I need a favor, and I was hoping to butter you up first."
"Whatever it is, no," said Jake. I ignored him and put the chicken back in the oven for a few more minutes. Then, I waited. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, what is it?" That was too easy.
For his troubles, I fixed us both a plate and sat next to him at the bar. "What do you know about Leo's dad?"
"Not much," he answered with a shrug.
That was understandable. It wasn't one of Bella's favorite topics, and Jake didn't seem like the type to pry. "Bella had a little too much fun at a masquerade ball, and nine months later, little Leo popped out. The problem is she had no idea who the masked dude was." The mysterious shit sounds hot, but it's a pain in the ass when you miss a period. "The guy never came forward," I paused for dramatic effect, "until now. He left Bella's masquerade mask at the house, so Alice put up surveillance cameras to catch him if he came back. Bells and Leo went to Eddie's house, so that leaves me and you on stakeout duty."
He stared at me for a moment. I was kind of waiting for him to try and kick me out, but he shocked the hell out of me. "Okay."
"What?" Okay?
"But you have to listen to me," said Jacob. "If the bastard shows up, you can't just go running after him."
"Can I shoot him?" I asked.
He shook his head. Damn. "I'll let you tase him though."
This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
For the first part of the stakeout, Jake and I were in his dark utility room where the small window had a great few of Bella's front door. I had my binoculars, and he sat next to me on the dryer with a plate in his hand. "You know, Satan, you're a pretty good cook."
"Thanks," I replied absently. A car was pulling up at Tanya's, so I wasn't paying him too much attention. "Oh my God," I slapped his arm. "Look! It's the tattoo artist!"
"What?" he snatched the binoculars to see for himself. "That's Lauren! I thought she was with Crowley. Do you think they switched teams?"
I cockily buffed my nails on my shirt. "I turned them both."
"You should be more careful with those powers, Nessie," he replied sarcastically.
"I promise to only use them for good," I said, holding up my right hand.
The two possible lesbians didn't embrace or fill each other up or anything, so their sexual orientations were still debatable. "I'm going to get us some chairs. This dryer is starting to hurt my ass," said Jacob.
"Maybe you should do a load of whites or something too," I suggested. If the creepy baby daddy didn't show up, at least we would have accomplished something. Jake shook his head and left the room.
Moments later he returned with a recliner. "I don't think both of them are going to fit. If you can control yourself, we'll share this one." He set it down in front of the window.
I scoffed, "Me? You started it the first two times, and the poptart sex was a fluke." I plopped down on his lap. There wasn't enough room for me to squeeze in beside him. Officer Goodbody was a big guy.
"If you hadn't groped me at the football game, I would have been able to control myself better in your room," he replied.
"Excuses, excuses," I waved him off. After a few moments, I started to get a little jittery. "This isn't as fun as it looks in the movies. I'm kind of bored."
Jacob rolled his eyes. "Why don't you crash in one of the bedrooms? I'll keep watch."
"No way! You're not taking down the bad guy without me." I cooked dinner. I should at least get to tase someone. I wasn't leaving no matter how sleepy I was. I was young. I could handle it.
Maybe not.
I woke up sometime later with Jake's hand rubbing my arm and my head lying comfortably on his chest. "Why did you let me go to sleep?" I grumbled.
"You're nicer that way," he replied. Jerk. "You haven't missed anything. I don't think he's going to show tonight."
"Oh," I yawned. "Wake me up if he does." I made myself comfortable and went back to sleep.
The next time I woke up, Jacob was shaking me. "I think we've got him."
I practically jumped out of his lap to get to the window. "Shit," I whispered. "I know that guy. His name is James. He hung out with Bella in high school."
"Take this," said Jake, handing me his taser gun. "Just… don't accidentally shoot me with it, okay? It hurts like hell."
I felt pretty badass charging out of the house gripping the gun with Jake beside me. "Freeze scumbag!" I shouted in my best authoritative voice. The pussy ran for it. I completely forgot my promise to Jacob and took off after him. There was no way that piece of shit was getting away.
Jake was a quick thinker though. He grabbed one of his tools and flung it at James, taking him down temporarily and giving me enough time to catch up. He started to get up, but I dropkicked the bastard. It was beyond awesome.
"I told you not to run after him," Jake growled, jogging over to cuff the douche bag.
"My bad," I replied.
Alice pulled up minutes later with a DVD in her hand. "I'm sending this in to Cops. You guys were awesome." She called Edward and Bella while Jacob set things up for the interrogation. He even let me hold his nightstick.
Bella and Edward got there shortly after, and things took an interesting turn.
James wasn't Leo's father. He was just a creepy bastard who used to stalk my sister. He had even watched her and the mystery dude going at it. Now, he was dating the bitch who possible lesbian Tanya hit with a car, but the bitch told the creep that Bella did it, so he was trying to scare the shit out of her. My mind needed a break. "Jake, tase him."
"Untie him," said Edward. "I'm gonna kick his ass."
I don't know why Bella went upstairs. She was going to miss the good part. As soon as Jacob untied him, James dove for Edward. Of course, Edward wasn't a dumb ass. He was expecting that, so he used James's momentum to slam him into the wall. "You and Victoria deserve each other," said Edward. James didn't hear anything. The sucker was out cold. I was a little disappointed. I was hoping the fight would last a little longer.
I turned to Jake. "Can I still tase him?"
JPOV (later that day)
After taking the creep to the station and taking care of work for the day, I headed home to find cars in both mine and Bella's driveways. Esme was getting things out of her car, so I jogged over to help her. "Did I miss something?" I asked.
"No, you're just in time," Esme replied, handing me a dish. "Alice suggested we have the family dinner here. Apparently, Bella has a ball pit in her basement. Thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome," I replied. My momma raised me right.
When we got inside, Rosalie took the stuff out of my hands. "I told the dads to keep the kids out of trouble, but now I need someone to keep the dads out of trouble. Do you have your gun?"
I saw what she meant when I got to the basement. Leo and Ethan cheered as Edward and Jasper tossed them around in the pit. They all greeted me when they saw me. I sat down next to little Nathaniel on the steps. "How's it going?" He handed me a blue ball. "What's this for?"
"Daddy," he smiled. Then he threw the ball at Emmett.
"Oh, he got me!" Emmett went down, causing his son to giggle.
"Okay, now we're ready!" Nessie announced from behind me. Sophie was beside her, wearing Leo's football helmet.
"Jump Sophie!" Leo shouted.
She held onto the helmet and hopped off the closest step. Edward caught her and swung her around.
Somehow, all of the adults ended up in the ball pit. When Bella got home, there was an even number so they wanted to play a game. That's how I ended up with Nessie on my shoulders.
"We need to go for blondie and the beast first. If we can take them down, we can beat anybody," said Nessie.
Apparently, everyone else had the same idea, and Emmett and Rosalie were down in no time. It turned into Alice and Jasper vs. Esme and Carlisle and Bella and Edward vs. me and my delinquent.
"Nessie, no!" Bella shouted. She was trying to keep her younger sister from sticking her finger in her ear. We all knew she hated that, but Nessie was fighting dirty.
I don't know how it happened, but both Ness and Bella were knocked into the pit when Esme and Carlisle snuck up on us. "Nice try girls," said Esme. Edward looked at me and shrugged. Neither of us had seen that one coming.
"We should be ashamed," said Nessie. "I blame Jake."
"Yeah, it was totally Edward's fault too," said Bella.
They were full of shit, so Carlisle called them on it. "Well why don't you let Nessie on your shoulders, Bella? We'll give you girls another chance."
"I think it's time for dinner." Bella got out of there.
"I can't believe you let us get beat by the grandparents," I told Nessie as we walked up the stairs to get to the dining room.
"If anyone asks, we let them win," she replied.
Dinner was a normal affair. There was a lot of talking and teasing. Sophie helped me eat my ice cream, so Nessie had to go find her a blanket. The poor kid's teeth were chattering, but she was still smiling.
"Isabella Swan!" Nessie shouted from Bella's room. She came storming into the room with some type of box. "You've got some explaining to do. Wanna tell me what you're doing with a motion censored mouse?"
Bella ended up going home with Edward to avoid the devil's wrath. After everyone pitched in to clean up, they headed home. I was about to leave myself when I heard glass shatter in the kitchen. "Shit!" Nessie cursed.
I rolled my eyes and went to check on her. "What did you do?"
She was holding her finger and bouncing up and down. "The damn plate bit me."
"Stop dancing around. You're gonna cut your foot." I reached over and caught her by the waist. I picked her up and set her on the counter before getting a towel for her finger. "Give it here, woman."
"It's fine," she replied, shielding it from me.
I took her hand anyway. It was just a small cut, but those things always sting, so I found her a band-aid. Then I found the broom to sweep up the glass, making sure I got it all. "I'm going home now. Do you any other dishes you'd like to throw before I leave?"
She was still on the counter, staring at me and holding her now bandaged finger. "Why did you help me?"
Her question caught me off guard. Why the hell did I help her? She was the bane of my existence. Seeing her dance around like a little kid with a hurt finger should have been entertaining, but I didn't think twice about going to the rescue. "Anybody would have," I replied lamely. "See you later." I got out of there before she could ask anything else.
I ended up sitting in the utility room again, watching Bella's house. Nessie was in the front yard playing with Shredder. When I heard the glass break, I didn't even think about teasing her until I knew she was alright. What the hell was wrong with me?
My phone started ringing. "Hello?"
"Either get out here or go to bed. You're creeping me out."
I moved closer to the window to see Nessie holding a phone to her ear. She was looking right at my window. "I tried going to bed. You were making too much noise," I lied.
"You sound bored. Do you want me to streak, so you can arrest me for indecent exposure?"
"Go to bed, Nessie," I replied, trying my hardest not to picture her naked.
For a minute, I thought she was going to go inside. She opened the gate and let Shredder into Bella's backyard. My eyes widened when she pulled her shirt over her head. She was really going to do it. I made it outside before she could drop her shorts. "Get. In. The. House," I growled.
"Suit yourself," she shrugged and headed for the door.
I grabbed her arm. "Not yours." I pulled her into my house instead.
We barely made it inside before I had her out of those shorts and pressed against the front door. "You know, this isn't very comfortable."
I unbuckled my belt and shoved my pants to the floor. "Do you really care?"
"No, just making conversation," she replied, being her pain in the ass self.
"Don't." I thrust into her with a groan.
Her legs wrapped around me, pulling me closer. "Jake," she whimpered as I had her hard against the door.
"Shut up, Nessie," I replied, knowing she was going to say something to send me over the edge before I was ready.
"But I…" she gasped. "I wanted to…" I covered her mouth with mine, kissing the hell out of her and hoping she would forget what she wanted to say. "Thank you," she panted, "for earlier." I stopped all movement, her sweet words catching me off guard "Dammit Jake, if you stop now, I'll kill you."
I shook myself out of it, pounding myself into her again.
Her release triggered my own. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her away from the wall. We were both breathing heavily; I could feel the warmth of her breath against my neck. "I should get home, so you can go to bed," said Nessie.
My arms instinctively tightened their hold. I wasn't sure why, but I didn't want her to go. "Stay," I said quietly.
She did.
AN: This chapter originally didn't have a lemon, but I figured you guys might get irritated if I kept fading to black, so I snuck in a little one at the last minute. Moving on, a lot of things that happened in the final chapters of Bella Swan: Kidnapper, Jake and Nessie were there for. I'm not a fan of rewriting scenes, so I hope you guys don't mind if I just mention those and add some new ones. Thanks for bearing with me. Reviewers get a preview. Thanks for reading!
