From the balcony of their quarters, he could see a majority of the northern island, his eyes widened when he saw his daughter and Johnny walking up the pathway with the escort. Reaching into his pocket, he grabbed a pack of worn cigarettes and looked at them. He had quit years ago, but months ago when he visited the city to sell the apartment, he gave into temptation and bought a pack. Since the war started, he had gotten closer to smoking them and now this was his breaking point. Pulling the cigarette out of the pack, he exhaled slightly causing the tip to come alive. He instantly felt the nicotine go to his head, hearing the door behind him slide open he tried to put it out fast enough so she could not see him, but it was too late “Jake!”

He groaned slipping the pack back into his pocket “I’m so sorry babe, this is all just too hard to take all at once, j-just let me have one so I can calm down”

“Save you’re energy for Johnny,” Rose explained reaching into his pocket and grabbing the pack and tossing it over the rail. “And we have a kid on the way”

For a moment he was silent, over course she was right, but he was adamant that he couldn’t look his daughter in the eye knowing she was going to repeat the same mistakes that her mother did “What the hell happened Rose?”

“We let our sixteen year old daughter live with her seventeen year old boyfriend all alone with no supervision,” Rose comforted her husband placing her hand on his chest. “And as I recall, this happened once before with us”

Taking her hand in his he kissed it lightly “I’m still gonna kill the him”

“We both will” She chuckled kissing him on the lips and them she coughed.

Turning back out of his embrace she smirked slightly “I won’t kiss you again until you brush you’re teeth”

Both of them entered the main atrium of the residential section, she hadn’t seen her father in months and she wondered what would be in store for her and Johnny. But her mind kept flashing back to what the agent said, what was the security breech? It had to be important seeing as people were being escorted to the palace on the safest place she could imagine. There were so many things that could go wrong, and she knew her father would be the one to handle it all. This would not bode well for her and Johnny if that were the case.

“Ma’am, if I might ask? Is it was to have the Huntsboy here in the palace,” One of the Guards asked with a sneer. “How will you’re father take it?”

She turned back to him and frowned “For you’re information my father is the one who ordered his release, so keep you’re thoughts to your self!”

They had finally reached the palace residential wing, her parents room was at the end of the long narrow hallway. With a large symbol of her father position on the door, as Supreme General of the Dragon Military, they received the largest room other than her grandfathers. Waving the guards off, she stood with him at her side for a moment, it was as if she were walking to her own death, or his. Placing her hand on the door knob she hesitated for a moment and twisted the door knob open, the room was empty.

The both of them walked into the room cautiously, but the closet next to the front door opened slowly with the precision of a hunter. Rose growled lightly and grabbed the young man by his collar and tossed him against the adjacent brick wall roughly with a thud. Alyssa turned her head and screamed “Mom!”

“Shut up,” She yelled. “You’re dad and I need to have a word with the boy!”

Jake emerged from the back of the parlor dinning room, and chuckled lightly to see his wife kicking the boy in the ribs “Well, Lyss? You get to watch me and you’re mom kill him? Re-thinking that choice to live with him now aren’t you”

She didn’t say anything as she watched her dad pick up Johnny like a toothpick and connect his fist to the boys face, like it was a game Rose repeated the motion Jake had and punched him in the jaw with the best she could muster “Alright! I get it, just don’t hurt him”

Alyssa rushed forward and wrapped her arms around his brushed ribcage “You two are out of you’re minds! This isn’t normal even for us!”

Through the wide door, two guards were chuckling slightly, they were disappointed in the General when they released him. And now to watch him beat the hell out of the kid, they had a new respect for him “Take him to the infirmary, than to a cell! I don’t know if hell be leaving it this time”

“Yes sir!” They seemed to say in unison.

Rose placed her hands on her hips and looked at Jake chuckling mirthlessly “I wasn’t finished with him just yet! I was looking at him and imagining his father it was fun!”

“Don’t worry,” Jake said. “You won’t have to imagine soon”

Through with there angry banter, they both turned to Alyssa, for a second neither of them for a second didn’t know that to say. Jake was the first one who mange to say something “So what are you going to tell us?”

“You got the letter didn’t you?” She asked backing down from him.

He turned to her and scowled “You’re damn right! You have no idea what the hell you have done! Now what I’m going to tell you I don’t mean to hurt you, we really didn’t expect you, and you just made the same mistake that we did”

That had to take a lot of nerve to say this to his own daughter, she knew that he didn’t want to hurt her. But it was still a bad thing to say that she was a ‘mistake’ she folded her arms across her chest “How can you say that!”

“What! That I had sex with you’re mother and I ended up having a kid,” Jake threw his arms up in the air. “When we did have you we knew that It wasn’t a mistake! But Alyssa you’re younger than your mother when she had you!”

He was right, it still hurt her but he was still right “What about you mom?”

“I-I Alyssa,” She stammered and looked up at Jake and then to Alyssa. “You’re timing couldn’t be any worse, b-because I-I’m pregnant”

Her arms fell from her chest and her mouth opened slightly, oh this was even better than she expected. Since coming to the island her parents beat the hell out of her boyfriend and now to learn that her mother was pregnant with another kid while she herself was pregnant was indescribable “Wha-What?”

“You heard me,” She barked. “And now while I’m going to be having another child I’m going to be a grandmother, so I hope that you are happy”
