Chapter Two
Nessie's POV
"Rebecca Sarah Black! Get down here this instant!" I yelled up the stairs for my eldest daughter. Though she was technically six, she was fully grown and I tried to treat her that way like my parents had for me. Today was not one of those times. I had a sneaking suspicion that she wasn't here and that was intolerable in this house.
"She already left." Emma Roseme spoke up from the kitchen table. Her long straight bronze hair reminded me so much of my own that I thought for a second that I was looking in a mirror instead of at my daughter. One look at those green eyes and I knew I wasn't.
"Left when?" I asked back, looking around for my other three children. Emma was the only one anywhere to be found. "And where are Allie and Will?"
Physically thirteen year old Emma shook her head. "I think Daddy took them hunting this morning. He wanted to see if Will could stay wolf long enough to take that big hunting trip next month. They've been gone for like six hours now."
I frowned. I hadn't even noticed Jacob getting out of bed this morning.
"And Bex?" I asked, trying to find out where my eldest daughter was. Now that her and the Gasman were an official couple (and had been for a year now) I hardly ever saw her at the house.
Jacob said it was nothing to worry about and I was just being paranoid, but with so many horror stories of teenaged pregnancies, and what with Ella and Collin sneaking off in the middle of the night to elope a few years ago, well I wasn't taking any chances.
"She, um, wanted to go to the main house…" Emma admitted. She was the only one of my children who didn't have an imprint, but she tried to cover for her siblings when they needed to spend time with their future mates.
Even though Bex hadn't imprinted (because she didn't have any wolf DNA due to who her 'sperm donor' was), she still acted as if her and Gazzy were that much of soul mates. I still call it puppy love, but they say it's the real deal. Besides, they're only eighteen; him literally and her physically.
Just then, my Jacob walked through the door with Allison Jazzlyn and William Anthony Carl behind him. I sprinted to my husband's side and captured his lips with my own. He grinned against my lips and I knew I would forgive him for not waking me up when he left this morning.
"I'm sorry." He apologized anyway, hearing my thoughts in his head due to our physical contact.
"Ew. Gross." Will said, his physically nine year old mind terrified of the thought of 'cooties' still. His imprint Anastasia Ride was only eight too so at least they were on the same mind set for now.
Jacob ruffled Will's brown-bronze hair and laughed. "One day you won't think this is gross and you're gonna love being able to kiss your wife whenever you come home."
Will rolled his dark Jacob eyes and shrugged. "Doubtful." He muttered and went to steal some of Emma's lucky charms. He ate more than anyone in the house; blood, meat, and human food; yet he never seemed to be full.
"What about you? No plans with AJ this morning?" I asked Allie, wondering why she was out hunting instead of spending every waking moment with her five and a half year old imprint.
"Nah. I'm gonna take him to First Beach later today with Will and Annie so I decided to give Max and Fang some time with their kids before then." Allie said logically. It was hard to think of her as my five year old little girl when she was physically nineteen and looked older than me.
"When did you get so reasonable?" I asked, tucking one of her curly black ringlets behind her ear. The look in her brown eyes told me that I had clearly missed her 'becoming an adult' phase. "You used to be my little puppy, running around barking at people." I said with a sad sigh.
"You are just like your mother." Jacob commented in my ear and I giggled.
"I can't help it if I want my children to stay little." I replied back. Will and Emma were the only ones not fully grown already and even their time was limited. Emma would be my physical age in two years. Will's age stop was a little less specific.
"What are we going to do about Bex?" I asked miserably. I had never had to punish my children, but Bex seemed to rebel against every rule I had in place. Having grown up completely in half the time it took me, I knew she was still processing the fact that her childhood was over in less than two years.
