Chapter 20 – Learn from your Brothers
SPOV
"Dad!" We screamed at the same time.
"What? This is punishment after all my baby boys"
Seth and I blushed at the nickname, before retorting over
"No Fair Daddy!" I said. "Yeah Daddy, this sucks!" Added Seth.
What was before our eyes was quite baffling, we wondered how on earth had Dad done all of this without us noticing. Assembled before our eyes was the most complex obstacle course I have ever seen. I shuddered reflexively thinking back on school and my "amazing" success in gym class, where if I got hit only a dozen times with a ball, aside from tripping by myself thrice, and by others five more times, that was a "good" day.
How could he? I hated the whole setup, crawling through a mud pit, balance beams, rope climbs. This was a complete and utter torture for me. It was not the physical strain given my new form, but the mental idea of me actually having to go through it. Seth did not look too fazed by it.
"While I really wanted to make you go through all of this, I have decided against it seeing as you have suddenly bonded in a way that I am sure will mean that I would soon have both of you in my study for some mischief that you will get into together instead of mischief by fighting each other"
However, there is something that I am going to do.
I blinked a few times, because I had a sense of Deja Vu, me and Seth were flying through the air and landing on the mud pit! The experience was not really identical, as instead of my two older brothers it was just me and Seth in the mud pit. I did not even bother with token complaining this time instead I went straight to Seth and began grappling him, trying to get him even more dirty than he got me. I scoped a handful of the mud and gave him a noogie before pulling back laughing.
"This means war!" He screamed.
We laughed it off, and began play wrestling, just the two babies of the family rolling around like little children, as their father beamed proudly at his sons with a smile on his face.
Edward POV
I could tell by the look on their faces before they left that both Sant and Seth were really worried about their upcoming "punishment" as I read Dad`s mind though, I almost laughed aloud.
No you don't this might alert them and I want to frighten them some more
I nodded my Head Slowly so as not to let my younger brothers see me. But when they actually went away, with Dad with a Hand on each of their shoulders, as if foreshadowing a possible escape attempt; I let my laughter rang out through the House. Alerted by the Sound I felt Jacob waking up because his thought started to become more coherent.
Food, steak, delicious... Whoa! Ed is laughing I wonder what that is? Where is Dad? Why hasn't he come to wake me up?
I let him come over before explaining:
"Dad has Sant and Seth scared out of their guts, he is going to make them think he is going to "punish" them, yet he is only going to get them to mud wrestle"
"Huh, that's nice actually"
"Yeah it is"
"I actually need some exercise in case the brats decide they need to tag team on us, mind practicing bro?"
"Sure" I said. "Nothing else to do anyway"
Jacob attempted to take me down from behind; we rolled around for a bit until we knocked a table over.
CRASH!
Please, Please let it not be broken or Mom will kill us. I thought.
Fortunately it wasn't, and I gave Jacob a sharp slap to the back of his head.
OW!
"Let's take it outside if you're still up to it"
"Yikes that hurt. Ok I sure am, let's head out"
As we headed out I wondered how we were that lucky, inevitably when we were foolish enough to wrestle inside something always got broken. We headed out toward the wrestling ring that was specifically set up for this purpose.
"Hey guys mind if we join you?" Asked Jasper, as he pulled a not very happy looking Emmett alongside.
Meh, I still can't believe Sant beat me, I don't know why but it feels even worse than losing to Bella in arm wrestling.
I chuckled slightly to myself; apparently he had not gotten over that Incident, even though it was well over 5 years ago. In response I felt him glaring at me. Not bothered or caring in the slightest we decided on a tag team match, me and Jake against Emmett and Jasper.
We took our fighting stances and the combat began, Jake started off with Jasper, they rolled around, Jacob was able to dominate Jasper for a short while and he tagged me in. I decided to let Emmett get the fight he so seemed to want, so I allowed Jasper to tag Emmett in. However as Emmett tagged in, I was shocked when he quickly launched at me with a closed fist, that was a no - no when we fought between ourselves as it tended to end with an Injury to someone and in turn a nice chat in Dad`s study for all the others. I quickly side stepped, yet Emmett seemed fueled by anger, and gave a deep guttural growl before lunging for my neck.
Carlisle POV
I decided to leave the little duo to their fun and rallied back into the house in order to get them some towels and swimming trunks. Luckily enough, I passed by the wrestling ring, and what I saw shocked me, It was my "Eldest" son, Emmett with his teeth very close to his brother Edward`s neck.
I gave a deep growl; I needed to distract Emmett so he would not hurt Edward. As a coven leader, my growl is more powerful than theirs and it has a certain tone to it that tends to make younger vampires freeze in their tracks. My sons specially knew that I only used it when I was really, really angry at what they were doing.
"Drop your brother NOW Emmet Dale Cullen" I half growled, half snarled.
Emmett did obey that, however, what I did not expect was that he flashed next to me and guess what? He growled back at me.
"Did You Just Growl At Me Little Boy?" I wanted to give Emmett a small chance to apologize, to slightly gain some mercy in his upcoming punishment.
He growled again.
I quickly grabbed him by the wrist and began applying sharp swats to his bottom.
SMACK! Emmett SMACK! Dale SMACK! Cullen! How Dare You SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Be so disrespectful SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
Emmett began howling immediately, I don't dwell when punishing the boys, normally they would be sent to their room or my study, but if they really pushed the line I had no qualms about spanking them right wherever they are when they misbehave, especially if only their brothers are there. I never do this when the boys are with their sisters. I proceeded to lower Em.'s trunks, and began applying rapid swats to his bare bottom.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Ow! Ow! Owiee! I´m sorry Dad, I´m sorry!
Finally!
"Yes you better be sorry" I scolded my errant son. "Now March yourself to the Den, and stand in the corner"
I am sure Emmett would have been beet red if he was a human right now, no teenager has ever liked to be reminded that he is just a child by being sent to stand in a corner for being naughty.
"But..."
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
"Owww!"
"Do not disobey me little boy, you are in enough trouble as it is, don't make it any worse"
He obeyed, turned around and flashed back towards home, my 3 formerly wrestling sons; Jacob, Jasper and Edward were frozen on the spot, watching me chastise their brother. I also saw Sant and Seth coming back, covered head to toe in mud, however instead of being loud and boisterous they were tiptoeing towards their brothers avoiding eye contact with me. I immediately knew why.
I started to flash toward the house, seeing the apparent relief in my youngest faces, so instead of going to the house, I kept on running some more, doing a full circuit of the island and ending up by sneaking up behind Sant and Seth whom I proceeded to grab by their shoulders.
"Hey Boys, back from the pit already?" I asked.
"Oh, ah yes Dad?"
"It's is very naughty to eavesdrop on your brother punishment boys."
"But..."
"Yes I know, the others were watching, that's why I won't be punishing you this time, however beware of the next time you eavesdrop because you will end up over my lap."
Sant POV
Yikes! I really hope I don't end over his lap any time soon.
"Yes Daddy," me and Seth said nodding our heads together.
"Well, at least seeing that can help you in learning something, especially you Hatchling, it is not a good idea to defy me, I am your Father and I expect you to obey me when I tell you to do something, if you don't believe me ask your brothers why defying me is a bad idea" Dad said, while eyeing each of my brothers, who were lowering their heads as if they had done something naughty and were unconsciously rubbing their behinds.
"You too Seth, remember what happened last time."
Seth blushed deep red! It was estrange seeing his reaction, I was getting used to all the pale faces around here. I couldn't believe my brothers how could they challenge someone as awesome as Dad? Were they out of their minds?
Edward snorted in response to my thoughts.
"Well, we kinda were, I think all of us, but don't you worry little brother, I am sure sooner rather than later you will find yourself among Dad`s lap getting something for a transgression"
"No way, I will always obey Dad, I am a good boy"
"Yeah Right..." Chorused all my Brothers, even Seth.
"Hey" I muffled while launching myself back at Seth again, knocking him down.
"Give Wolf Bro!"
"No way!" We continued rolling around, Jasper Cheering for Seth, Jake rooting for me and Edward just watching in, amusement clearly on his face.
CPOV
I decided to let the boys for a while and meanwhile I flashed back to the house.
Emmett had obeyed me, he did not look happy; he was shifting his weight constantly. I smiled, he may look about 20 and technically is over 80, however in that position and with a grimace on his face, he looked just like a naughty little boy. Actually he was not the only one; all my boys always are my little boys to me, but especially when I have to punish them. I hereby have to insist that punishing your children hurts; I don't like making my boys cry.
I let out a long sigh
"Emmett look at me son" I commanded.
He turned and looked at me, guilt clear on his face
"Pops, Pop I am sooo sorry, I wasn't thinking, please, please don't be mad at me, please don't leave me dad, don't throw me out I beg you.."
I flashed next to my son and delivered two swats to his backside. Before pulling him into a tight hug.
"Emmett Dale Cullen, stop that rant this instant, you know you are my son and will always be, I love you, and no matter how naughty your behavior is I will always forgive you. You know that you are stuck with me as your father forever, just as your brothers, sisters and cousins will always be there for you too"
"Really Pops?"
"Always my bear always, we love you and all your goofy antics. I just want to know why where you acting like that Emmy."
He Flinched
"Just because Pops, I am sooo sorry"
"Emmy Bear, I love you, you are forgiven."
"Really Pops?"
"Sure"
I proceeded to quickly flip him down over my knees as I sat down on a chair.
"Daaaad!" Emmet Screamed.
"However we still need to administer your punishment for such an incredibly naughty behavior"
SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT!
Ow! Ow! Owiee! Daddy! Sob, Sob, Please! I am sorry!
"You better be sorry my son"
I am your father SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! and I expect respect. SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! I expect you to be a good example to your younger brothers SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! SWAT! and you do NOT attack any member of this family SWAT! SWAT! SWAT!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Yes Pops, yes! Please, it hurts! Whaa! Whaa!
"Shh, Shh, Emmy were all most done, deep breaths Em deep breaths, almost done"
"Almost? Please Pop it hurts please, please no more!"
"Emmett Your Behavior today was atrocious, I won't tolerate this, I hope this lesson sticks with you at least for a couple of years, you are going to get you age with the belt"
"What?! No Way Pops! That's Too Much! I can't take 65 of those!
"Don't Worry Son, I meant your physical age, not your real age"
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH
"Ow! Ow! Daddy! I am sorry! Wha! Wha! Wha!"
I picked Emmett up and threw the belt as far away as I could.
"Emmy Bear, shush, I love you my bear, I am so sorry I had to do that!"
Sniff! "Don't be sorry pops, I deserved it"
"I love you Emmy Bear"
"I love you too pops!"
After we talked about what was bothering him I asked "Race you back?"
"You are on!" He said, and we rushed back to the beach.
I felt my heart go warm at the sight of my baby's mock wrestling
"All Right I do believe this is a tie"
"Dad!" They all screamed at once.
"Eddie, I am so sorry, please forgive me bro"
"I forgive you Em, and don`t call me Eddie"
"Thanks Eddie"
This ticked Edward enough to reenact his younger brother`s antics with his older brother.
Thus the sun settled down, with me laughing at my boys wrestling tournament.
A/N: Love you all! Hope you enjoyed! Please review!
