I do not own any Jak and Daxter characters, although I do own Taj, Anya, Damas Jnr, Lexa and a few other various characters.
CHAPTER 2.
Anya slumped into Taj's bedroom later that night and plopped herself down on the bed "I can't believe you got me grounded" she sighed "Now I can't go out with Rio" she whined.
Taj closed the book he was reading and put it on his bed side table "Good, I don't want you going out with my mate" he smirked.
"Thats so not fair, how many times have you and Lucie messed around, why is it different for me?" she asked nudging Taj over and getting into bed with him.
"Because its my job to look after you and I don't wanna be stuck in the middle when you two fall out, your my sister and I'm always on your side no matter what but I don't wanna listen to you complain about him or him complain about you" Taj said taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.
Anya smiled "Maybe we won't fall out" she said.
"He's not good enough for you Anya, no one is" Taj smiled
Anya giggled and kissed her brother on the cheek "One day you and daddy are going to have to let me make my own choices" she said slipping out of his bed "Good night big brother, love you"
"Night little sis, love ya back" he smiled.
Jak finished putting Damas to bed and wandered into Taj's room "I think we need a chat son" he said sitting on the edge of the bed.
Taj frowned "What about?" he asked.
"About you always getting in to trouble" he chuckled.
Taj sighed "It's just a few detentions dad, geez anyone would think I threw a dark bomb into the middle of the football field on a match day" he huffed.
Jak frowned "Don't joke about things like that Taj" he sighed "Look the thing is you may not like school but you have to be educated, its your duty as the future king to have a proper education"
"Why can't I just be educated by you, you can train me to be a wastelander, and Uncle Sig can teach me how to be king" Taj said.
Jak chuckled "Got it all figured out have you, any plans for your mother or Uncle Daxter, how about grandpa?" he asked.
Taj laughed "Well Mama can teach me about mechanics and racing, grandpa can teach me about eco and Uncle Daxter can teach me how to annoy the hell out of him".
Jak laughed "Well at least you stopped Anya going out on that date"
"Yeah, she's really upset about that, said were gonna have to let her make her own choices one day" Taj said
Jak frowned "Why don't you want your mate going out with your sister anyway?" he asked
Taj shrugged "It would just be weird, beside's he's not good enough for her, she deserves a prince"
"Thats nice of you to say, but it's really up to her at the end of the day" Jak got up off the bed "Now get to sleep, and no more detentions, I mean it Taj, next time your mum will take your track time son, she's really pissed" Jak said leaving the room.
"I know dad, I'll make it up to her I promise" Taj smiled "Love ya dad"
Jak smiled "Love you back son, good night" he said leaving the room and going in search of his wife.
Keira walked into Anya's room and smiled at the sight of her eldest daughter reading a story to her youngest daughter. She sat on the bed and smiled when Lexa climbed into her lap "What are we reading?" she asked.
Anya held the book up " Lexa's favorite 'Things that go bump' " she smiled "Mama please can I go out with Rio tomorrow, I promise I will start my grounding after that, and you can even take my track time" she asked.
Keira sighed "Angel you shouldn't have given Taj your board" she said "But there's nothing I can do, daddy gave you that punishment he's the only one who can take it away" she looked down at Lexa sat falling asleep sucking her thumb.
Anya looked down sadly at her hands "Its just so unfair, I told Taj not to do anything stupid, do you know how long I've been waiting for Rio to ask me out and now he has I can't go" she sniffed.
Keira reached over and lifted her chin "Honey he'll ask you again"
"What if he doesn't, what if that was my only chance...I never do anything wrong, I get good grades and stay out of trouble, I don't even annoy Grandpa" she snapped.
Keira looked at the unshed tears lining her daughters eyes, she sighed "I'll talk to your father okay" she smiled.
Anya's face lit up "Really mama" Keira nodded and Anya flung her arms around her mother's neck hugging her "Thank you mama, thank you so much".
Keira laughed "Your gonna squish Lexa".
Anya laughed and let go "Sorry Lex" she said smiling at her sister just as Jak arrived at the bedroom door.
He leaned against the door frame and watched his wife and two daughters laughing, he smiled a look of pure love and pride on his face "And what are my three beautiful girls laughing about?" he grinned striding into the room and taking Lexa off Keira.
Lexa looked up at him "Ana tried to squish me" she giggled.
"Did she indeed and why did she do that?" he asked.
Anya laughed "I was just hugging Mama and Lex was kinda between us" she smiled up at her father.
"I better get this one in bed" he leaned down and kissed Anya's forehead "Love you my little angel, good night"
Anya smiled "Love you too daddy, I'm glad you and Mama found each other and I'm not someone else's daughter"
"So am I angel" he smiled at Keira and left the room with Lexa.
Keira got off the bed and kissed Anya's cheek "I'm glad someone else isn't your father too" she grinned
"He's the best man in the world, I'll never find anyone as great as him" Anya beamed
Keira laughed "And he's really, really hot"
Anya put her hands over her ears "Mama, I do not need to know if my father is hot" she said screwing her face up.
Keira laughed and headed for the door "Love you baby girl, good night".
Anya snuggled into her bed and smiled "Love you back mama, and Mama I'm also glad your my mama".
"Thank you angel, now sleep" Keira said leaving the room.
Jak wandered into the kitchen having put Lexa to bed. He loved this time of day when the house was quiet and still and it was just himself and Keira. Sure he loved his children with all his heart but the times he got to spend with Keira alone were precious after all if it wasn't for her he wouldn't have the four most amazing things in the world. He smiled as he walked over to the sink and poured himself a glass of water which he took over to the table and sat down opposite his wife. Keira looked up from the paper she was reading and smiled at her husband "Lexa go out like a light?" she asked.
Jak nodded "Before I even put her down" he smiled taking a sip of water "How's my beautiful wife?" he asked.
"I'm good, how'd it go with Taj?" she asked
Jak shrugged "Who knows, I think I may have got through to him" he chuckled "Told me why he doesn't really have to go to school"
Keira laughed "And why is that?" she asked
"He said I can train him to be a wastelander, Sig can teach him to be king, you can teach him about mechanic, Samos about eco and Daxter how to annoy the hell out of him" Jak laughed
Keira giggled "Sounds like a plan and its the perfect job for Daxter" she looked over at Jak and took a deep breath "Listen I was thinking maybe we could start the twins grounding on saturday" she smiled
Jak frowned "And Anya can go on her date?" he said
"Come on Jak she's been waiting ages for him to ask her out and its not as if they won't have someone to keep an eye on them, Daxter will be there" she reasoned.
Jak sighed "She turned on the water works didn't she?" he enquired.
Keira got up and moved around the table to Jak, she moved his arm and slipped on to his lap "Well I was thinking that maybe they could stay at my fathers in the forest that night, they have to go see him Saturday anyway and Damas and Lexa could go up to the palace with Sig and we could have a night to ourselves" she purred wrapping her arms around his neck her fingertips playing with the hair on the back of his neck.
"Keira if we cave in on this they'll think they can get away with it all the time" Jak sighed
Keira giggled "You think sending them to stay the night with my father isn't a punishment?"
Jak laughed "I guess it kinda is"
Keira leaned down and kissed Jak deeply, she pulled away and looked into his eyes "And it'll be nice to have a night without the kids, we could go out get stinking drunk and then make love anywhere we wanted" she breathed.
Jak sighed "Fine we'll start their punishment on Saturday, I'll tell the twins in the morning"
"She'll always be your little angel you know Jak, but she has to grow up" Keira said quietly lifting Jak's chin and looking into his eyes.
Jak smiled sadly tightening his grip on her "I know baby but does she have to do it so god damn quick, it seems like only yesterday I was watching her being born"
"You know what she said to me earlier" Jak shook his head "She said she'd never find anyone as great as her daddy"
Jak smiled "Really and what did you say?" he asked
"That you were also really, really hot, she didn't really wanna hear that bit" Keira laughed.
Jak kissed Keira softly "There'll never be anyone as great as her Mama" he grinned.
"Your about to get really lucky " Keira smiled stroking Jak's face.
Jak chuckled "Like you wasn't gonna use sex to get what you wanted" Jak smirked raising an eye brow
Keira giggled "I was just doing what every female has done to get her own way since time began".
Jak laughed and kissed his wife again.
Jak wandered into the kitchen the next morning. He frowned at the sight of his four children sat quietly eating their breakfast at the table, not the sight that usually greeted him in a morning. He walked over and poured himself a cup of tea before leaning against the work surface he smiled at Keira as she came in and stood next to him. He turned to her and said "Have you spoken to Samos?" he asked.
"Yeah, he said he'd love to have them" Keira nodded.
Jak chuckled and nodded towards the table "Whats with them?" he asked
Keira giggled "Their sulking" she smiled.
"I'm not sulking daddy" Lexa said jumping off the chair and running to Jak.
Jak scooped her up and hugged her "Well good baby girl, so whats with the rest of you?" he watched as all three of them shrugged.
"Well Damas is sulking because he has to go to school and the twins are sulking because their grounded" Keira explained.
Jak nodded and kissed Lexa before putting her down and moving towards the table, he sat down and looked at his three children "Firstly Damas you have to go to school, unless there's something you're not telling Mama and me" he waited for an answer.
Damas shook his head "I just don't like school" he said.
"Well neither does Taj and neither did I for that matter but I still had to go, so unless you have a good reason not to go to school then you have to go" Jak said Damas sighed and looked back down at his breakfast "Right you two" Jak said looking at the twins "I am not happy about this but your mother has a very good way of making me do things I don't want" he looked at Keira and winked " So you can go to the ottsel tonight and your punishment can start on after that, Anya you can go on your date" Jak sighed.
Anya looked up and beamed at her father "Really daddy?" she asked Jak nodded and Anya flung her arms around his neck "Thank you daddy" she yelled happily.
Jak laughed and hugged her back "Your welcome angel but you should be thanking your mama".
Anya kissed her father's cheek and got up going over to her mother "Thank you mama" she said hugging her mother.
Keira smiled "You haven't heard the conditions yet" she laughed.
"What conditions?" Taj asked.
Jak looked at him and grinned "Firstly your punishment starts at nine on friday night, and it starts with you two staying with grandpa in the forest" he smirked.
Taj pulled his face "But we see grandpa on Saturday for training?"
"Well you can have some extra training can't you" Jak chuckled "Right after that you are both grounded as I said Anya one week Taj two, and no jet board, and I am warning you Taj stay out of trouble if you come home with another detention within the next month you'll be grounded until I decide when and there'll be no junior races or jet board got it?" Jak said sternly.
Taj nodded "I don't really wanna go to the teen night though" he said.
"Well you can spend the night with Grandpa" Keira smiled.
Taj laughed "I'll go the teen night thanks mama".
Anya walked around to her father and hugged him again "I'll take Damas and Lexa to school before I get the air train daddy" she smiled.
"Go on then" he grinned "See ya later angel"
Taj got up and waited for Damas to get ready "Come on little bro, I don't wanna be late" he smiled down at him.
"Why are you so keen to get to school?" Keira asked holding her arms out for Taj to hug him.
Taj moved over to her and hugged her "New hot girl" he grinned.
Keira laughed "Oh I see" she hugged him and whispered "See if Damas will tell you whats wrong on the way".
Taj nodded and moved out his mothers arms walking past Jak he bumped fists with him and left with Damas. Anya and Lexa following behind.
Keira smiled and moved to sit on Jak's knee "I wonder whats wrong with Damas, he used to love school"
"We'll have a word with his teacher when we go pick him up later okay pretty girl?" Jak smiled "Now I think we have some unfinished business"
Keira laughed "I thought that was tonight?" she purred
"Well I want it now" Jak smirked getting up with Keira in his arms and carrying her back upstairs.
