New Beginnings- A Jakeward Story

Chapter 8: The Truth?

J: I just got a call from dad, the Council wants to see us?

E: Just the two of us?

J: No, they want to see me, you and Anthony.

E: Did he say why?

J: No just that we should be there in an hour.

E: Where is Anthony?

J: I don't know.

E: We can't even keep track of our son anymore.

J: What the hell is happening to us?

E: I don't know.

J: Neither do I but that doesn't mean that we should just leave it.

E: We're not leaving it.

J: Every time I want to talk about it, you have a reason why we shouldn't!

E: You don't have to raise your voice, Jake.

J: Being calm about it doesn't help much does it!

E: Being calm about it does, so just calm the hell down Jacob!

J: Finally got some emotion out of you and you tell me to calm the hell down. What happened to the respect that we're suppose to have for each other!

E: Respect, you are the one who is shouting on me!

J: You're shouting too, aren't you Edward!

E: You... (He stopped)

J: Me what!

E: Anthony's on his way.

Jacob sighed while looking at Edward and shaking his head.

J: Unbelievable. (He mumbled)

An: I'm so tired right now. (He says coming into the house and plopping down on the couch)

E: I'll wait by the car.

An: What's wrong with dad? (He asked after Edward left)

J: Nothing bud, we need to go to the Rez, the Council wants to talk to me, you and your dad.

An: Why?

J: I don't know but let's go find out okay.

An: Okay.

When they got outside Edward was leaning against the hood of the car looking calmer than he did when he left the house. When Edward saw them he turned and walked to the driver's side door and got in. Anthony was shocked by that because Edward was always opening Jacob's car door for him and vice versa but he didn't say anything. When he got into the car he could feel the immense amount of tension between his parents but refrained from thinking about so that Edward wouldn't know.

~Reservation, Billy's House~

The drive over to the Reservation was a long and strenuous one even though they didn't even live that far from it. They walked to the back of Billy's house where he and the rest of the Council were.

B: Right on time. (He smiled)

Elder #1: Hello, you can take a seat if you want.

J: Thank you. (He said as they sat down)

Edward and Jacob sat at opposite ends so Anthony just decided to sit in between them. All of the Elders noticed but decided not to say anything about it.

Elder #2: So it has come to our attention that Seth imprinted on Anthony when he was born.

E: Yes he... (He was cut off)
