I do not own anything.

CHAPTER 14

Anya paced up and down the garden as Taj sat watching her from the steps on the back porch "Can you believe he did that...I mean he just pulled Rio off me and pinned him to the wall...can you believe that?!" she snapped angrily.

Taj watched her "Well what do you expect Anya...your lucky that's all dad did...and why did you have Rio in your bedroom anyway?" Taj asked.

"I don't know...no one was home it seemed like a better place than the couch or beach...and what about you and Marissa...the jet board course?" she said raising an eye brow.

Taj grinned slightly "Yeah well...it seemed like a good idea at the time...I thought mama was here" he shrugged.

"God its like they have a tag on us or something...will they ever let us grow up?" Anya said slumping down next to Taj.

Taj nudged her with his arm and smiled "Maybe...when we're about twenty" he chuckled.

Jak fired his morph gun at the last of the marauders in the combat arena and nodded his head as they fell dead in front of him. He put his gun back in its holster and jumped on the platform to take him back up to the throne area.

Jak jumped across and looked at the throne. The throne his father had sat on, the throne that should by rights be his "I wonder what advice you would have given me?" he mused out loud "I wonder how the sex talk would have gone?" he chuckled before sitting on the floor in front of the throne and looking up towards the sky.

"He probably would have got very embarrassed" Sig chuckled from behind him.

Jak looked around and smiled slightly "Hey Sig...what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I could ask you the same thing...whats going on?" he enquired sitting on the throne.

Jak shrugged "I needed to blow off some steam...it was either this or let a dark demon loose on my teenage daughters boyfriend"

Sig frowned "What do you mean?" he asked

"I came home today to find my daughter and her boyfriend in bed together" Jak stated

Sig gasped "Oh my god...you caught them at it?"

Jak shook his head "They weren't actually at it...it mean they really were only fooling around but still...what would have happened if I hadn't got home...and to make things worse Keira caught Taj on the jet board course with a girl"

Sig laughed "My god...like father like son eh?"

"What do you mean?" Jak asked

Sig raised an eyebrow "Don't even try telling me you and Keira have never gone at it on the jet board course" he chuckled

Jak chuckled "We had our first date there actually...we've had a few good afternoons on the course" he smiled remembering.

Sig laughed "So does this explain why Keira's in the garage hammering everything she can find into submission?" he asked

Jak nodded "I guess...have you seen her?"

Sig nodded "I just pulled into the garage and she was there...banging and muttering...I didn't dare speak to her"

Jak got up "I'll go make sure she's okay" he nodded towards Sig and left the arena.

"Rio will probably never speak to me again mama..." Anya moaned while stood in her mothers workshop in the fort garage.

Keira blew out an angry breath "Anya Mar you are unbelievable...you do something wrong and your blaming your father...any father who came home to find their fifteen year old daughter in that position would do the same" she snapped glaring at her daughter.

"But he shouldn't have done that to him" Anya sulked

Keira laughed sarcastically "Honey your lucky that's all he did"

"Taj isn't getting this much crap" She said sitting down on the stool

Keira shook her head "Taj didn't take his girlfriend into his room...and he isn't sat here complaining about his punishment is he"

Jak arrived at the work shop door and leaned on the door frame frowning at his daughter "I thought you were grounded?" he said

"I just came to see mama" Anya said lower her eyes to the floor

Jak rolled his eyes "You mean your here complaining"

"Well you shouldn't have done that to him" Anya snapped.

Jak frowned "No Anya I have every right to protect my daughter...your the one who shouldn't have done it...you shouldn't have put him in that situation" he snapped back "Now get home before I get really mad at you"

Anya stood up and looked at Jak sadly "I'm sorry daddy" she said smiling slightly

Jak didn't look at her "Just get home" he snapped before reaching for Keira and pulling her into an embrace.

Keira snuggled in to his chest and sighed "I hate this...I hate being mad at our kids"

"I know baby" Jak whispered rubbing her back gently.

Damas and Lexa sat at the kitchen table eating dinner when Jak and Keira walked in. Lexa jumped off her seat and ran to Jak. He picked her up and hugged her "Hello baby girl...hows my baby angel?" he smiled kissing her forehead.

"Anya made us hot dogs" Lexa beamed.

Keira laughed "Well good for you...Damas, you okay?" she asked sitting next to him.

Damas looked up sadly "Are you mad at Taj and Anya?" he asked.

Keira smiled and held her arms out for him, he crawled into her lap and looked up "Only a little bit...but you don't need to worry honey"

"I don't like it when your mad" he said sadly shaking his head.

Keira kissed his head "Sweetheart...you don't need to worry about it, it'll soon be sorted out" she smiled.

Jak smiled and out Lexa down he smiled at Damas "Don't you worry son, it'll soon be forgotten"

Damas smiled and climbed back on to his own chair "I hope so daddy" he said going back to his dinner.

Anya stamped into Taj's bedroom and threw herself on the bed burying her head in the pillows.

"What's up now?" Taj asked from where he sat at his desk

Anya looked up at him "Daddy just called Lexa his angel" she spat

Taj laughed "Is daddy's little angel jealous" he teased

"He's never been this angry at me before...he wouldn't even look at me when I was in the garage" She complained

Taj shrugged and looked back at the book he was studying "Well why did you go to the garage...you went to complain to mama about dad?"

"He hates me" Anya groaned putting her head back down.

Taj laughed again "Anya he's your father he doesn't hate you...you really think he'd be this mad at you if he hated you...maybe if you just apologized instead of getting mad at him and blaming him then he wouldn't be so angry at you"

"But why is it so different for you?" she snapped into the pillow.

Taj looked at her "Maybe because I didn't bring my girlfriend into my bedroom...and I'm not trying to blame every one else but myself"

Anya sat up and looked at her brother "Would you have done it Taj...you know you and Marissa...would you have had sex with her?" she asked

Taj shrugged "I don't know...she wanted to" he grinned.

Anya groaned and threw herself back on to the bed.

Jak sat in his bed reading as Keira went to tuck Lexa in. He heard shuffling at the door and looked up to find Anya looking at him. She smiled and moved a little further into the room "I just wanted to say goodnight daddy" she said quietly.

"Good night" Jak said sharply to his daughter and looked back at his book.

He could feel her eyes on him and heard the small sob escape her throat but he didn't look up until she turned away and said quietly "I'm really sorry daddy...please don't hate me"

Jak felt his heart break a little and he closed his book putting it on the side table "I don't hate you Anya" he said softly.

Anya turned around to face him and he saw the tears rolling down her cheeks "Really daddy?" she asked.

Jak opened his arms and smiled, opening his arms for her "Your my little angel, I love you" he said

Anya ran to the bed and jumped into her fathers arms "I'm so sorry daddy...I'm sorry for having Rio in my bedroom and I'm sorry about getting mad at you and blaming you...it's all my fault...when you called Lexa angel earlier...I...I..." she buried her head in his chest and let the tears fall.

Jak laughed "Angel, Lexa is my baby angel...but your my little angel...my first daughter...I'm not going to stop loving you because of this" he smiled rubbing her back.

"Really daddy?" she said her voice muffled.

Jak nodded and lifted her face he wiped her face and smiled "I'm sure your going to do a hell of a lot worse than this...but I will always love you...no matter what, okay?"

Anya nodded and hugged her father again "Love you daddy"

"I should think so" he laughed hugging her back just as Keira walked in.

Keira smiled as she took in the scene and Jak looked up and smiled at her "What's going on here then?" she asked.

Anya looked up and smiled wiping her face. She pulled herself away from Jak "I'm sorry mama" she said quietly.

"And so you should be Anya...but as long as you've learnt your lesson I'm sure we can put it behind us" Keira smiled.

Anya jumped up and hugged her mother "Thanks mama...Love you"

Keira hugged her back "Love you right back angel...now go wash your face and go to bed" she smiled.

Anya smiled and moved away "Okay, goodnight".

Jak flung the covers back and swung his legs out the bed "I suppose I should go talk to my son huh?"

Keira laughed "Well I sure as hell ain't having that conversation with him"

Jak laughed and grabbed her wrist pulling him towards her "Things are only going to get worse you know?" he smiled.

Keira smiled and stroked his face "As long as we face it together we'll be just fine" she said before kissing him gently.

He pulled away "I wouldn't want to face it with anyone else" he grinned.

Jak wandered into Taj's bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed "So how close were you?" he asked bluntly.

Taj looked up and frowned "How close to what?" he asked confused

"Sex... how close were you to having sex with this girl?" Jak asked.

Taj blushed and looked away "Well she wanted to...I'm pretty sure I would have stopped it but I'm not sure"

"Well you need to be more carefull son...what if you had had sex, what if she'd got pregnant...do you really want to be a father and husband at fifteen?" Jak asked raising an eyebrow.

"Why would I need to marry her?" Taj asked

Jak frowned "Because you are the heir to the throne and you need to take responsibility for your actions...if you get some girl pregnant you can bet your ass your going to marry her"

"What if you'd got someone pregnant before you met mama...would you have married her?" Taj asked

Jak shook his head "Thats different...I was never going to take the throne...my first born would be heir but my wife would never be queen"

"Mama would make a great queen" Taj smiled

Jak smiled "Yes she would but she'll be an even better kings mother...now you think about what I said and don't do anything stupid"

"I won't I still remember what you said...I know to do what my heart says and my heart says I don't want to be with Marissa" Taj smiled

Jak nodded getting up "Well maybe its time you were with the girl says you should be with...good night son...love you"

"Love you dad" Taj smiled.
