==Long Household
Jake didn't know what boggled his mind more. The fact that he had a daughter, or the fact that he would have to raise her by himself. He was sure Rose would help, but Huntress couldn't always be a mother, and Rose needed to be the Huntress.
He had convinced Rose to stay that first night, but she had left before he woke up the next morning, which was something considering that he had just woken up and it was already 7 in the morning.
He had taken a leave from the restaurant, considering that he had to raise a kid by himself. And what was worse, what would he say to his parents if they found out!
==One month later.
"Hey kid? What are you doing with that?" Fu asked, seeing Jake come in with a baby.
"Fu, meet my daughter, Bridgette." Jake said, showing the dog his daughter.
"She looks like you." Fu noticed. "Wait, she's your WHAT!"
"Young One, what is going on?" Lao Shi came out from the back room, and his eyes widened once he saw the child.
"Gramps, meet Bridgette. She's my daughter, and a dragon, and sometimes transforms into one." Jake explained.
"What did your parents think of this?" Lao Shi asked.
"They erm, don't actually know about Bridge." Jake cringed.
"So, you planning on telling them anytime soon?" Fu asked.
"No, they don't need to know about something they won't believe. Anyway, I need to continue my AmDrag stuff, it's been a month! So, I kind of need you guys to babysit her for me for a while, since I can't leave her to other sitters." Jake explained.
"Kid, are you mental! Do we look like babysitters to you!" Fu exclaimed.
"Don't worry Young One, we'll take care of her for you." Lao Shi nodded.
"Say what?" Fu exclaimed. "Gramps, you realize we need to take care of a month old kid!"
"Yes Fu Dog, I do. Don't worry Young Dragon, she'll be safe." Lao Shi nodded.
"Thanks G!" Jake happily replied as he flew off to protect his kind.
"Uh, Gramps, why do I get the feeling you've got something up your sleeve?" Fu asked, cautious.
"Because I do. Come, we're going to visit my daughter, and her husband." Lao Shi replied, smiling.
==The Other Long House
Susan went to the door and got the shock of her life when she saw that her grandfather was with a kid, a baby, in his arms. She nearly fainted, but was thankfully caught by Jonathan.
They invited her father and Fu in, and as they settled down, Susan was getting more confused by the second.
"Dad, what's going on here?" Susan asked, fearing for her father's sanity.
"I want you to meet your granddaughter." Lao Shi stated, handing the child to them.
"What? Whose kid is this?" Jonathan asked.
"Jake's." Fu replied.
"Jake, with whom?" Susan swallowed, trying to get rid of the lump on her throat.
"Rose." Lao Shi stated.
"But- but, that's not possible, I mean it jus t defies all-" Susan was rambling, but stopped when she heard the child sneeze, turning her into a tiny blue dragon, with black hair.
"You were saying?" Fu stated, deadpan.
"Daughter, I know you do not like Rose, but whether you want to believe it or not, she has given you your grandchild." Lao Shi stated.
"Yeah. So try to not tear her to shreds." Fu grimaced
"Wait, where are they?" Jonathan asked.
"Probably having an all out fight in Central Park." Fu laughed. When everyone was just staring at him angrily he just shrugged his shoulders and said "What! It's true!"
==Central Park
Quite true it was, Jake and Rose were fighting, but not for real, at least not yet.
"Come on Dragon Boy, try to do a bit better than that!" Huntress taunted him, bringing her staff down to strike.
"I'm trying my best, just for you." Jake smoothly replied, swiftly moving out of the way.
"Very funny. Wait, where did you leave her?" Huntress asked, just realizing what was going on.
"With my grandfather. And Fu." Jake replied, shrugging.
"You truly are an asshole." Huntress sighed, continuing to attack him.
"Hey, I'm trying to raise her and protect magical creatures! Give me a break!" Jake exclaimed, dodging the now more violent strikes of Huntress.
"Please, now you're going to start complaining?" Huntress rolled her eyes.
"What! We should at least keep some kind of schedule for you to come in." Jake tried reasoning.
"Can we talk about this another time?" Huntress growled.
"Very well, what do you want to talk about?" Jake asked, trying to hit her.
Huntress moved out of the way, and growled. "I don't know, how about your insanity!"
"Yo! Calm down! Look, how about we just put our alter-egos aside, and just go and grab her from Gramp's clutches, and go home?" Jake smiled, grabbing her staff and pulling it downwards.
"I- I guess." Huntress replied, her eyes downcast.
Jake nodded, and got on all fours to allow Huntress to climb on board. They flew off, and Jake decided to call Fu.
"Hey Fu, we're going to go pick Bridge up ok?" Jake said.
"Uh kid, isn't it a bit soon?" Fu replied, a bit shakily.
"Fu Dog, please tell me she's with you, or else you're getting it!" Huntress growled, since she was also listening to the conversation.
"Yeah! Yeah we have her, it's just that erm, we're not at t he shop anymore." Fu replied, dodging the whole truth.
"Fu..." Jake impatiently coerced.
"Ok! The old man took her to your parents!" Fu cried.
"HE WHAT!" Both parents exclaimed. Jake hung up the phone and quickened his pace to reach his parents. Meanwhile, Huntress was fuming.
"May I ask why she's there?" Huntress asked, her tone icy.
"How am I supposed to know? Gramps probably wants my parents to know about Bridge, but they don't know about her!" Jake exclaimed.
"Why couldn't you have left her with a normal sitter! That way, all your problems are solved!" Huntress exclaimed.
"And how do you want me to explain when Bridge turns into a dragon huh?" Jake snapped back.
"What? She's turning into a dragon still?" Huntress asked, her tone getting softer.
"Yeah, usually it's when she sneezes. I can't leave her with just anyone, and Spud and Trix have enough on their plate without having to deal with a baby human dragon hybrid." Jake sighed.
"I-I didn't know." Huntress replied.
"It's ok." Jake smiled.
==Long House
"AYAH! Fu! You could've told them that we had taken her for a walk! Now both of them are coming here?" Lao Shi rambled on.
"I was talking to the Huntress! I can't exactly do anything about that! Now can I!" Fu growled.
"So erm, how mad would they get if they came in here?" Jonathan asked.
"Very pissed." A voice spoke out, getting all the inhabitants of the household to turn to the source.
Huntress and Jake, in dragon form, were standing in the doorway, looking quite mad, or pissed, as they put it.
"Jake." Susan stated, she was holding a dragon Bridge, and was looking very pale.
"What?" Jake growled, advancing.
"Look, we're sorry, I, we thought that we were doing the best for you. We didn't know that you guys were speaking the truth." Susan said, shame faced.
"Maybe you should've thought of that before you got all rampaging on us." Huntress growled.
"We truly are sorry." Susan repeated, going over with Bridge in her arms, and handed her to the parents.
It was certainly quite a scene, Jake with his arm around his wife, and seeing Huntress holding the child to her, as if she was a precious being. Even though no one could properly see Huntress' face due to the mask, they could tell from her eyes that Rose was extremely happy, and Jake felt a rush of happiness. This would work out, he knew that in the end, he would have the family he wished he would have with Rose, one way or another.
So for those of you that were wondering how Jake's parents wound up in Bridge's party, this is how it starts :)
There will be more chapters focusing on this, but it will be solved :D
Yeah, this might have been a bit of a drabble, but I think it was worthwhile to include this :D
Anyway, next chapter shall be with Violet :D
My next update will be my Family Business Fic, but hang on the rest of you :D
Hope you enjoyed it!
