I do not own anything.

Okay I know this update has taken ages and I know how annoying it is to be reading a story that's not getting updated regularly, and I wish I had some big reason why I haven't updated but the truth is I haven't got one.

Anyway I'm currently recovering from an operation so I'll have nothing to do for a couple of weeks so hopefully the updates will be quicker.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy.

CHAPTER 13

"Good morning baby girl" Jak said cheerily to Lexa as he walked into the lounge to find her watching cartoons sat in front of the television the next morning "What you up to?" he asked.

Lexa turned to face him and smiled up at him "I'm just watching cartoons...Mama said I could because I ate all my breakfast" she beamed.

Jak chuckled "Well aren't you a good girl...come here and give your daddy a cuddle" he smiled crouching down to her level.

Lexa jumped up and trotted over to him as he opened his arms and she sank into them "Daddy?" she mumbled into his chest.

"Yes sweetheart?" Jak answered.

She pulled away from him and looked up into his eyes "When I'm older will I have to run a city, or be a wastelander?" she asked

"Well that all depends if you want to be, do you want to run a city or be a wastelander?" Jak asked frowning, Lexa shook her head and Jak smiled "Well what do you want to be?" he asked.

Lexa smiled "I want to be a Precursor Monk like Seem" she said excitedly "I like learning about the Precursors"

Jak's smile broadened and he pulled her back into a hug "I have no doubt that you my baby girl can do anything you want and if you want to be a Precursor Monk then that's what you should be...maybe you could talk Anya into doing the same thing" he chuckled.

Lexa giggled and looked up at Jak "I don't think so daddy, Anya loves Rio" she announced before pulling completely away from him and going back to watching cartoons.

Jak laughed and stood back up going into the kitchen to find Keira "Where's Damas?" he asked looking around the room.

Keira nodded towards the back door "Just burning off some energy, he's full of it this morning" she smiled.

Jak peered out and watched as his youngest son ran around the back garden "He's certainly got my energy" he mused "Anyway guess what Lexa just told me?" he asked picking up the mug of tea Keira had poured for him. Keira looked at him and nodded for him to continue "She just told me she wanted to be a Precursor Monk when she's older" he grinned.

Keira laughed "Oh that old chest nut" she smiled drying her hands on a towel and moving to stand in front of Jak.

Jak frowned "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well don't you remember when the twins were Lexa's age...how Taj would say it was yukky when we kissed...and Anya was adamant she would never like any boy other than her daddy?" she went on "How they changed their minds every five minutes as to what they were going to do once they got older?"

Jak nodded and smiled placing his cup down and reaching out to pull Keira towards him "I think Taj wanted to run the ottsel at one point...and I don't think Anya only likes her daddy anymore"

Keira laughed as she hung her arms loosely over Jak's shoulders "And Taj certainly doesn't find kissing yukky anymore"

"Got that right" Jak laughed "Besides it doesn't matter what any of them do, as long as they do whats in their hearts I'll be proud of them"

Keira smiled and kissed Jak softly "We'll be proud of them...we've done pretty well raising them, you've been a fantastic father and I'm sure they'll make us proud".

Jak's smile grew wider and he pulled Keira closer "Thank you baby...and you haven't done too badly with them yourself...thank you for giving them to me"

"I wouldn't give them to anyone else" Keira smiled before pressing her lips to his.

In the middle of Haven Forest Samos stood with his two eldest grandchildren. Taj sighed and looked down at him "Do we have to do this Grandpa?" he asked.

"It's only a ring challenge to see how fast you two are?" Samos sighed.

Taj looked up and round "I know but its to see how fast our dark sides are...it wears us out turning dark"

"It'll be fine Taj, we can get some light eco when we're done" Anya smiled.

Taj sighed "Okay I guess".

Samos waved his stick around and watched as the twins changed into their dark forms and raced off.

Ten minutes later the twins stood at the top of the ramps at the other end of Haven Forest panting and gasping for breath. They'd already changed out of their dark forms and Samos was stood looking at the times.

"So how'd we do?" Taj panted.

Samos looked up "You were a little quicker than Anya, but that's completely expected" he smiled.

Anya frowned and plopped herself down on the grass "Why is it to be expected, you think just because I'm a girl I can't go as fast or be as strong as Taj?" she snapped.

Samos chuckled and shook his head "Just like your mother...no my girl it's simply because Taj has had more training than you, and he's taller"

"Yeah, I've had arena training with dad" Taj said sitting down next to her.

Anya frowned "Yeah well next time I'll beat you" she said.

Samos laughed and handed the twins a can of light eco each "Right you should be okay after that...you can go when your ready"

"Thanks gramps" Taj smiled taking the can off him.

Anya smiled "Yeah thanks grandpa"

"Your welcome...I'll see you next week" Samos smiled and went into his hut.

Taj opened his can and let the light eco soak into his body. Anya did the same. When they'd both recovered they got up and started walking towards the air lock.

"So what you doing this afternoon?" Anya asked as they walked.

Taj shrugged "I dunno...I think I'll just hang out at the jet board course...you?" he enquired

"Rio's meeting me and we're going to Spargus to hang on the beach" she smiled

Taj nodded "What's Lucie up to...haven't seen her much lately?" he asked

"You're unbelievable Taj" Anya giggled

Taj stopped and looked at her "What do you mean?" he asked.

Anya stopped and looked back at him "I mean last night you were getting it on with Marissa the girl who called you a freak and today your asking about Lucie" she said shaking her head.

Taj started walking again "It's just a bit of fun with Marissa, we barely even talk...besides I have known Lucie just as long as you have she is my friend as well you know".

Anya shook her head again and smiled as she started walking behind her brother "Well I think she's busy with Mason...but I could make a call and see if she wants to hang with us today, you could come too" she said coming to Taj's side again.

"Nah, I wanna spend some time on the jet board, now I've got it back" Taj said as he stopped just outside the air lock and waited for the doors to hiss open.

Anya stood by his side and smiled knowing she would call Lucie anyway and tell her where Taj was headed.

Anya plopped herself down on the blanket Rio had just put down on Spargus beach. She stretched her legs out and yawned.

Rio smiled and sat down next to her "You okay babe?" he asked rubbing her back.

"Yeah...just grandpa had us doing dark training today...the light eco helps but it kinda takes it out of you" she smiled leaning into him.

Rio nodded "So whats Taj and Lucie up to today?" he asked.

"Taj is on the jet board course back in Haven...you know he was fooling around with Marissa last night?" she asked frowning as her finger tips played with the sand.

Rio raised an eyebrow "Really after what she said he's still interested?"

Anya nodded "Yeah...he says it's just some fun but I can't help but worry"

"Hey" Rio smiled and wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him "I'm sure he knows what he's doing"

Anya smiled "I'm sure he does" she giggled.

Rio lifted his hand and cupped Anya's face "Let's not worry about them...let's just enjoy being together" he breathed before pressing his lips to hers.

Jak stood at his back door looking out across the beach. He sighed as he watched his daughter and her boyfriend.

"What's with you?" Keira asked walking into the kitchen and picking up her purse.

Jak nodded out the back door "I can see Anya and Rio from here" he said.

Keira walked up next to him and slipped an arm around his waist "There just having fun" she smiled looking up at him.

Jak smiled slightly and looked down at her "I know...but I kinda miss my little angel"

Keira laughed and kissed his cheek "She's always gonna need her daddy...don't forget that" she kissed him again and moved away from him "I'm going in to Haven to check on the garage..what are you doing other than spying on your daughter?" she asked.

Jak shrugged and moved away from the door "I told Lexa I'd take her and Damas to the temple".

Keira smiled and moved over to him "See you still have a little girl"

"I know" he smiled before leaning down and kissing her "How long you gonna be in Haven?"

Keira shrugged "Not long...I've only a few things to do and Taj is still there anyway"

"Okay...I'll see you when you get back then" Jak smiled "Love you pretty girl"

Keira smiled "Love you back handsome...and don't be dumping the kids on Anya" she warned playfully.

Jak smiled sheepishly "You know me too well woman"

"You bet I do" Keira laughed before leaving.

"Yes...got it" Taj panted jumping off his jet board and flipping it up into his hands "Beat you mama" he grinned looking up at the score board.

Marissa had walked in and was watching him as he looked up at the board "You really should stop talking to yourself" she teased coming down the ramp.

Taj spun around and looked at her "Oh yeah and do you know a way of stopping me?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well I have a few other ideas as to what your lips could be doing" she purred stepping towards him.

Taj wasted no time and pulled her towards him crashing his lips to hers.

Rio sat on Anya's bed looking around her messy bedroom. The washing basket over flowing with clothes, her school books scattered all over the floor. He chuckled and shook his head.

"What?" Anya asked as she walked in.

Rio smiled at her "Nothing...its just funny how messy you are and even funnier that you don't even care" he chuckled.

Anya laughed "Yeah well apparently I get that off my mother"

"You get a few other things off her as well...so are you sure it's okay for me to be in here?" Rio asked nervously

Anya shrugged "Why would it not be you've been in here before?" she asked

"Yes but that was before I was your boyfriend...it's different now" Rio said watching her move around her room.

She smiled and walked over to him "Well there's no one here" she said straddling his waist and lifting his face to kiss him.

Rio responded immediately and quickly flipped her so she was led on the bed with him on top of her kissing her. His lips began to trail down her neck and he smiled into her skin as she moaned softly.

Anya's hands had moved down to the hem of Rio's shirt and she pushed them up feeling muscles of his abdomen, meanwhile Rio's hand had wandered up her shirt and had started to fondle her breast through her bra.

Rio pulled away from her and looked down at Anya, she looked at him confused "Why did you stop?" she asked.

"Anya I don't want you to do something you don't want to do...that your not ready to do" Rio said softly

Anya smiled and stroked his face "I don't think I'm quite ready to go all the way yet Rio but we can do other stuff"

"Really...your sure?" Rio asked

Anya nodded and reached up to pull Rio's face back down to hers but before she knew what was happening he was being pulled off her and was being pinned to the wall.

Anya jumped up and yelled "Daddy...what are you doing?"

"I could ask you the same thing...what the hell is going on here?" he yelled back

Anya moved quickly to her father and was trying to pull his hand from around Rio's neck which he had him pinned to the wall with "Daddy please let him go...your hurting him?" she begged.

Jak frowned "Please I'm hardly even holding him" but he let go anyway and watched as Rio slumped to the floor rubbing his throat "So do you want to tell me what was going on?" he snapped.

Anya frowned "No I don't and how dare you do that to him" she snapped.

"You listen to me Anya I'm the parent here not you and when I come home to find some guy on top of my fifteen year old daughter in her bedroom your lucky that's all I do to him" Jak yelled.

Rio stood up "I'm sorry ...and Anya really he wasn't holding on that tight"

"I can't believe your sticking up for him he could have really hurt you...or worse" Anya snapped her eyes widening

Jak snorted "Believe me Anya there is a dark demon trying his best to fight his way out of here...your just lucky I haven't let him out... your his daughter too you know...now down stairs right now" Jak yelled pointing to the door.

Marissa was sat straddling Taj's waist as he leaned up against one of the ramps on the jet board course. They kissed urgently as Tajs hands roamed her body. Unfastening the buttons of her shirt and his hands rubbing over her bra covered breasts. Marissa moaned and grinded into to bulge in his pants.

Taj pulled away panting "You wanna do this?" he asked.

Marissa smiled "I've never done it before but I think I do" she breathed

Taj grinned and pulled her face back down to his just as Keira walked around the corner. She gasped and was about to turn away out of embarrassment when she realised it was her son "Taj Mar" she yelled.

Taj jumped up sending Marissa toppling on to the floor "Mama...we we're just...well we"

"I can see what you were just doing thank you Taj" she said glancing quickly at Marissa trying quickly to button her shirt up "What the hell Taj?"

Taj looked down "I'm sorry we just got carried away"

"Well how further would you have got if I hadn't come in...had you even thought about protection?" Keira yelled.

Taj looked up briefly "We we're just fooling around" he snapped as Marissa came up beside him.

Keira shook her head "I think you should go Marissa" she snapped.

Marissa nodded and quickly and quietly left the course.

Keira turned back to Taj "You...home...now" she snapped marching out with Taj following behind her.

Keira slammed through the front door and arrived in the living room "You'll never guess what your son has been up to now" she fumed ushering him in and looking up. She frowned when she saw Anya and Rio sat on the couch and Jak stood in front of them with his hands on his hip "Whats going on?" she asked.

"I came home to find my daughter in bed with her boyfriend" Jak snapped angrily.

Anya blew out an angry breath "God daddy...we we're just kissing" she snapped back.

Keira frowned "You don't think you're in enough trouble without snapping at your father Anya Mar?!" she scolded.

"Whats he done?" Jak asked nodding towards Taj sat sheepishly in a chair looking at the floor.

Keira glared at Taj "Whats he done...oh nothing I just found him and Marissa half-naked on the jet board course"

"What?!" Jak yelled he turned back to Rio "Rio you may as well go"

Rio nodded and got up, leaving without saying a word.

Jak turned to Taj "You sit with your sister...Keira a word" he said motioning for them to go in the kitchen,

Keira followed him in and closed the door "Can you believe them two?" Keira whispered angrily.

"So Taj was half-naked with the same girl who called him a freak?" he asked.

Keira nodded "Her shirt was un done and she was sat on top of him...if I hadn't walked in when I did..." she trailed off shaking her head before looking up at Jak again "And Anya?" she asked

"They we're on her bed, he was on top of her...his hands up her shirt" Jak spat

Keira shook her head "You didn't hurt him?" she asked

Jak shook his head "Just pulled him off her and pinned him to the wall...wasn't really holding him very tight...but there's a very pissed off dark demon trying to fight his way out"

"I bet...we better go sort this...where are Damas and Lexa?" she asked looking around.

Jak smiled "Don't worry baby luckily I dropped them off to play with Tex before I came home"

"Oh okay...good job" Keira said opening the door and going back into the living room with Jak behind her.

Jak and Keira stood in front of their twins arms folded frowning at them "Well...what have you got to say for yourselves?" Keira demanded.

Taj and Anya looked at each other before Anya took a deep breath and looked up at her parents "Daddy totally over reacted...we we're just kissing" she said.

Jak snorted "Anya please don't insult my intellegence...he had his hand up your shirt"

"He did what?" Taj snapped glaring at Anya

Keira glared at her son "Don't you go getting all high and mighty...I didn't see your hands behind your back"

"We we're only fooling around" Taj said looking down.

Jak snorted again "With the girl who called you a freak?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"She apologized for that" Taj said shaking his head.

Keira looked at her two children "Taj I can understand...he was on the jet board course and got carried away but you Anya...you brought Rio back here...took him into your bedroom...did you plan this?" Keira asked

"God no...we came back for a drink and no one was home...I wasn't going to go all the way with him" Anya protested.

Jak laughed "So why take him to your bedroom?" he asked

Anya shrugged "I don't know...I wanted to use the bathroom and I just told him to wait in there"

"And he couldn't wait down here?" Keira demanded.

Anya shook her head and looked down "I'm sorry...and I'm sorry daddy for getting angry at you"

Keira sighed "Look we know that you two are growing up and want to experience new things but you have to be carefull...Taj can you assure me that you wouldn't have gone any further if I hadn't walked in..." Taj shook his head "...There you go...and Anya what if your father hadn't come in or even worse what if your little brother or sister had come in?" she asked.

Anya gasped and looked up "My god I didn't even think about them"

"Right your both grounded for the week and this should go without saying but you are not to have boyfriends or girlfriends in your bedrooms...right?!" Jak demanded the twins nodded "Now go pick Damas and Lexa up".

Jak and Keira watched as they left before Jak opened his arms and Keira snuggled into his chest "I'm worried about Taj" she whispered.

"Why?" Jak asked

She looked up "Because all it will take is one silly mistake...if I hadn't walked in to that jet board course and caught them...she could be claiming to be pregnant by him by this time next week"

"God I hadn't even thought about that" Jak said holding her tighter.

Keira giggled slightly "I'm far to young to be a grandmother"

"And too hot" Jak smiled.
