Me and You Against the World (Book Five in the Peterick Mpreg Series)

The Dragon of the Game (Jack's POV)

"Eth, I will find you!" I shouted as I ran into mine and Emily's bedroom.

Ethan and I were playing a rousing game of hide and seek, and if I couldn't find him, I promised him we'd play Dragon - which literally consisted of him riding on my back throughout the house while I "breathed fire". It gets pretty intense, let me tell you, but do far, I've not been able to find the little weirdo. I never knew a seven year old was so good at playing hide and seek. (*AN* I did change his age because I realized he and Jaim were ten years apart. I thought they were five OOOPPSSS. So yeah, Ethan's seven:3)

"How on earth are you so good at this?" I laughed to myself, then heard a giggle from near the bed. I made my way over to the bed, then got down on my stomach. I lifted the sheet up and started laughing. "What on earth are you doing under here?"

"Hiding from you, duh!" Ethan laughed.

"I was looking for you for at least a half hour!" I laughed as I helped him out from under the bed.

"Does this mean we're not playing Dragon now?" he asked.

"I think we can still work something out," I smirked.

I picked him up and put him on the bed. He stood up while I bent down, then he jumped on my back. I grabbed his hands once he threw them over my shoulders, then I started running out of the room. As I ran down the stairs, Ethan started laughing, as did I, then I ran into the living room and around the furtniture. I started "breathing fire," which made Ethan laugh again. I even started flapping my arms around after I told him to wrap his arms around my neck. The both of us were having a fun time in my book, but after a while, I was getting tired.

"I gotta stop, buddy," I laughed, out of breath.

"Awww," he pouted.

"I'm sorry, but I'm getting really tired," I said, lifting him off of my back and over my shoulder, letting him fall gently to the couch as he laughed.

"When's sissy supposed to be home?" he asked as I sat down on the couch.

"Pretty soon, as far as I know," I smiled, then heard a door shut. "Ah, speak of the devil."

Before I could even get off of the couch, Ethan was already to the front door, waiting for Emily to open it. Once she opened it, he attacked her in a hug. She started laughing, then hugged him back tightly. Em literally has a relationship with her siblings like no one I've ever seen before, and I love that.

"How was boy's day?" she asked, putting her purse on the table in the entryway.

"I think we had a good time," I smiled.

"Yeah! We played hide and seek and then Jack and I played Dragon!" Ethan shouted, making us laugh.

"And nothing got broken this time? Wow, I'm impressed," she smirked as she walked over and kissed me. "That's got to be a first, am I right?"

"Haha, very funny," I said sarcastically. "Now, why don't we make some supper? It's like six anyway."

"I am hungry," Ethan said.

"Good," I smiled as I ran over to him and picked him up, throwing him over my shoulder as he laughed.

"Don't you drop him!" Emily warned as she walked into the kitchen.

"I won't!" I laughed. "Well, whatcha say little man? Should we go help her make supper?"

"Fine," Ethan sighed, making me laugh, then laugh harder when I heard Em laugh from the kitchen.

The two of us ran into the kitchen and started to help Emily, but it mostly consisted of me wrapping my arms around her waist and pissing her off a little. It was all good fun though, and soon, supper was ready. The three of us sat down at the table and started eating.

"So, how was dress shopping today?" I asked.

"Really fun actually," Emily smiled. "Yeah, Jaime actually said she'd pay the extra five hundred for the dress I wanted."

"Aww that's sweet," I smiled. "She's pretty cool. I think I'll keep her."

"Good, 'cause we're a package deal," she smirked. "What else did the two of you boys do while I was gone?"

"We played Legos, watched The Lego Movie, ate lunch, went to the park, came back home, played hide and seek, then dragon," Ethan explained.

"Sounds like you had a fun time," Emily smiled.

"I love playing with Jack!" Ethan smiled.

"And I love hanging with my number one man!" I high fived him.

We soon finished eating, then cleaned up. Ethan looked like he was getting tired, so Emily said we should all relax and watch a movie. We let Ethan pick, and he chose Cars, which honestly, I loved. Emily put it in and her and I cuddled on the couch while Ethan curled up on the floor. After at least a half hour, Eth was out, so Emily brought him up to bed. We decided we'd give Pete and Patrick a break from a rambunctious seven year old for a change.

"There, he's in bed," Emily said as she came back and sat between my legs on the couch.

"You're a good big sister," I smiled, then kissed her forehead.

"Says you who kept him occupied all day," she chuckled. "Thank you, by the way."

"For what?" I asked.

"For just being you. For being with me. For making me happy. And most of all, for making me your wife next month," she smiled at me.

"Babe, I did all of that because I love and I don't want to be with anyone other than you for the rest of my life," I said. "You're so incredibly amazing, given all you've been through, and honestly, I love you more than anything in the world."

"Jack, I love you so much," she said, kissing me, then wrapping her arms around me.

"And honestly, I'm sure if I ever hurt you, Pete and Patrick would kill me, sooo..." I said.

"Jack!" she hit me, then laughed.
