Chapter 97 - Jake Lane: The Punishments

Lucille's apartment, Wednesday 9:48 AM

"Mmmhmmm ..." Jake licked his lips, still sleeping on the bed. The only difference between now and before he went to bed was that he now had the whole bed to himself. Your mature ladies must have woken up and planned how to get through the day without electricity. But he was sure they would find a way around it, as they always did. So, now all he had to do was just sleep there and be immersed in whatever dream he was having ...

He held his hands out towards the ceiling and made a squeeze gesture. "Come here Astrid ~" he laughed wickedly. "I have something for you!" So, yes, Jake was having a sexual dream. Who would say?

Lucille, who was standing at the door, covering her mouth with her hand to stifle her laughter, wondered if she should interrupt and report that they managed to make breakfast with their gas oven. Man, she had to thank Almeida for getting the landlord to allow it in her apartment.

But deciding that he got enough sleep (which he doesn't have), Lucille climbed gently onto the bed. "Jake! Time to wake up ~" the emerald-haired woman sang. "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!"

Jake gave a soft moan as he slowly opened his eyes, a little upset that he had been pulled out of such a big dream, but pleasantly surprised to smell the bacon.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey?" Jake repeated in a teasing tone. "What kind of rhyme is that? What were you raised on a farm or something?" He joked.

Lucille pursed his lips and put his hands on his hips. "Yes, I was actually raised on a farm!" She said defensively, not liking how he shamelessly mocked his creation.

Jake laughed. "Haha, wait ..." Jake said as his facial expression turned to confused. "Where have you been?" In all his years, Jake has never seen a single farm in Japan.

"I'm from Kansas," said Lucille, thinking he knew where it was.

He didn't do that. "Where the hell is Kansas !?" He asked.

"America!" She pouted. In all honesty, Lucille thought he knew that about her. After all, she remembers telling him about her homeland when he was just a brat playing with his Legos.

Jake looked shocked. "America !? Like in the United States of America !?" When she nodded, he calmed down a little. "Huh, I had sex with an American girl ..." he realized.

"AND?" Lucille looked at him expectantly.

"My baby is going to be half American ..." Jake continued.

"Our baby." Lucille corrected.

Jake just smiled with satisfaction. "You realize now that we have to call our son Chuck Norris, right?" He smiled.

Lucille laughed provocatively at the thought and crossed his arms. "Absolutely not." She told him.

Jake turned his head with a pout. "Meanie. I don't hear you make up names!" He defended himself.

"Because I'm taking it easy! I don't think much ahead! But I love your enthusiasm." She admitted.

"So how about-" Lucille silenced him with his finger.

"Let's wait for the nomination process," she smiled softly, looking up at him with adoring eyes. "Let's start with breakfast, okay?" She asked him. Jake shook his head and stood up, so now Lucille wasn't sitting on his thighs, but on his lap now.

Jake and Lucille blushed from their faces for being so close to each other. "And what exactly is breakfast for?" Jake asked.

"Eggs and bacon, I think," Lucille told him, staring at his lips. Jake noticed her eyes on his lips and decided to ask.

"Hey, Lucille, my eyes are here," he teased, making her frown playfully and fall back on the bed.

Jake simply climbed on top of her and made his way towards the door. "You better hurry up Lucille or your food will run out! I would hate to starve in this cold house!"

Lucille sighed as she rolled over, not believing he had passed over her at breakfast. She got up, shaking her head, and followed him.

Astrid and Natasha had dressed in their usual clothes, Natasha was wearing her suit and Astrid was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Jake was grateful that they were dressed, since Hanzel was sitting in his high chair near the kitchen island. Natasha had a coffee mug in her hand and was looking at the phone while Astrid took care of the stove, preparing what would surely be a delicious breakfast.

"Good Morning!" Jake greeted them both with a little vitality in his steps.

"Good morning Jake!" Astrid hooted back as she took the scrambled eggs from the first fire. "I hope you're hungry."

Natasha laughed to herself as she took a sip of coffee. "I know I'm not ~" Natasha purred.

"Natasha! Don't talk like that when my baby is sitting next to you!" Lucille chided the dark-haired woman.

"Oh relax, Greendy. That girl doesn't even understand a word of what I'm saying!" Natasha then turned to Hanzel. "Spaghetti." Hanzel laughed at the foreign word, illustrating Natasha's point of view.

Lucille crossed his arms and let out a little laugh at his baby's cuteness. "It doesn't prove anything, I just don't want Hanzel to grow up and be a dirty mouth. Right, Jake?" She turned to him and asked.

Jake, who was looking over Astrid's shoulder (not for the reason you think perverts) to watch her cook, looked back and nodded. "Yes, I would rather not have to go and meet the director about that kind of thing."

Astrid chuckled happily when he said that. "Oh! Are you two thinking too far ahead!? That's adorable!" She screamed.

Natasha took another sip of her coffee and took a plate of Astrid that was offered to her. "Yes, I'm happy for you. Not only will Jake have a son when he graduates, but he'll also have a home."

"If Almeida is willing to give that up, of course," Astrid joined the conversation.

Lucille scratched his head at that. "Yes, about that ... the apartment is kind of in his name and since I don't want to be a bitch and steal it ..." she stopped.

"You can live with me!" Astrid shouted. "Oh, it's going to be a lot of fun! Like a long slumber party!"

Natasha decided to throw her hat in the ring. "Or with me! You know how much I want a big family."

Jake picked up a plate of Astrid and sat on a bar stool next to Natasha. "Umm, actually, I want you to live with me." He spoke, surprising the women around him.

Lucille's eyes widened. "W-what? With you?"

"Yes!" Jake said nonchalantly. "We already have a huge house, it's bigger than Astrid's." Of course, this was not new to them, but still, Astrid did not like to acknowledge this, which was strange, considering she was not normally a competitive person.

"It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it ..." the blonde whined.

"No, it's definitely the size that counts." Natasha declared.

"We may not make hints about penis! Jake just asked me to live with his family!" Lucille shouted. "This is big!"

Natasha and Astrid just looked at her with pitying looks. "If I were you, I would have moved to that hotel the minute he got me pregnant." Natasha said, giving her two cents.

"The same," Astrid nodded at Natasha's point.

"Hell, Francisco is going to love having you in the family, after they all hit Jake, of course!" Natasha laughed. Natasha always loved a spanking, she didn't really care about Jake and Freddie fighting when they were younger, but she always put bets on her head.

Jake just grunted while eating his eggs. "Well, at least Lucille is a little ashamed of that ..." he sulked. He was not ready. He knew that his whole family would line up to get some results when they found out that he had committed the crime with his old nanny. Well, maybe not Roxy, she would probably fix it later, but she probably wouldn't kiss the boo boo!

Lucille sighed as he looked at Hanzel. "We can talk about this later, now I just want to heat up some place for Hanzel, it's a little cold here, even with the stove on."

Astrid hummed in agreement. "So I suggest we go to my house, I'm sure we have some backup generators."

Natasha left the newspaper. "If that's the case, I will meet you there in a moment. I need to go check on my kids and make sure they are fine without me." She said as she stood up.

"Well, see if they want to come to my place, we have a lot of space and heating." Astrid smiled.

"Will do." Natasha nodded and turned to Jake. "See you later, pookie." She leaned over and kissed him on the lips before taking the bag and walking out the door.

Jake just went back to eating while Lucille and Astrid looked at him with shocked looks on their faces.

"What?" He asked them.

"This is the first time Natasha has kissed you on the mouth in front of us and not during sex." Lucille was delighted.

"Yes, actually, it is the first time that she shows you any love besides lust." Astrid watched.

Jake blushed and waved at them. "Ah, come on, you guys are reading a lot about it. Me and Natasha have just gotten a little closer lately, nothing too special."

"Okay Jake, whatever you say ..." Astrid stopped before looking at Lucille. "I would keep an eye on them, Greendy, Natasha can become number one." She giggled.

Lucille just looked at her with an empty look. "Just warm up your car and I'll be off with Hanzel in a minute." She said without emotion.

Jake let out a small laugh as he started to swallow his food quickly.

Pedragon Estate, Wednesday, 10:28

"Astra! Honey, I'm home!" Astrid shouted as she walked through the foyer with Jake, Lucille and Hanzel in tow. They heard loud footsteps and soon most of the family's personal employees came to greet the mother and inform her of everything that had happened since she left.

"Okay, okay!" Astrid dismissed her lovely maids and butlers and shooed them away. "Give me a little space!" She snapped her fingers and they all ran off to do their duties.

But when they passed the main hall, Astra ran down the stairs with a smile. "Mom!" She screamed and ran to hug her mother.

Astrid smiled as she ran to find her daughter and they jumped up to hug. "Oh dear, I missed you so much! I don't care that it's only been a day!"

Astra held her mother tightly in her arms. "I love you very much!"

"And I love you!" Astrid shouted.

Lucille and Jake just looked at each other. "Wow ..." Lucille sighed, poking him in the arm.

Jake just cradled Hanzel in his arms. "I know, right! They are overly affectionate! They've only been apart for a day!" He whispered back.

After a few minutes, Astrid and Astra broke free and now Astra could see the others behind her mother. "Jake! Lucille! What are you two doing here?" She asked as she went to hug Lucille.

Lucille returned the hug. "The energy in my building ran out and Astrid said we could stay here for a while." She told the blonde.

"Has the city power run out?" She asked.

Jake laughed at how the blonde was unaware of their problem. "Haha wow Astra! You are so spoiled!"

Astra blushed and released Lucille. "Oh, shut up! You wouldn't have known it if you were at your house!" Astra defended himself.

"But I was at Lucille's with her mom and Natasha! So, haaa!" Jake laughed at her mockingly.

"Jake !!" Lucille and Astrid stared.

"Don't tell her that! She'll think we're up to something!" Lucille slapped his shoulder, careful not to alarm Hanzel.

"Oh relax!" Jake sighed. "She and the others already know about us, Lucille. They know about you and me as well as Natasha and Astrid. There's no point in hiding it anymore!"

Lucille looked at Astra with wide eyes. "Do you know?"

Astra agreed. "Yes, so are Stella, Freddie, Nemo and Malu. Well, there are also a few more who know." She said honestly.

Astrid and Lucille turned to face Jake. "Are you going to the whole city bragging about this?" They asked.

"No, I didn't! I swear!" He started to cringe as they walked towards him. "Don't hit me! I'm carrying a baby!"

"Relax, mom, we're not mad at you, just at Jake. In fact, we kind of have a deal with him." Astra told Astrid.

Lucille turned to the young blonde with a raised eyebrow. "A deal? Tell me what and ..."

-XxX-XxX-XxX-

The day continued at the Pedragon residence, the women Jake previously loved took turns scolding him for "doing a terrible job of keeping the secret," despite the fact that Jake was so close to denouncing Astrid for his bullshit, acting like she didn't ask if Astra wanted to join a trio. He had never looked at the blonde so hard in his life, but he did it for her, knowing that she was thanking him inside for covering her. And as Astrid said, the snowy day was like a slumber party. They had a lot of fun doing random things, like watching movies, sliding down the stairs on a mattress and even had a semi-baked competition. But unfortunately for them, the day went by too fast and it was now Thursday,

(~ X ~)

Chapter 1: Freddie Mercury - Thursday

Jake grunted as he stretched his fingers through what looked like the hundredth time that morning. The worst part of the experience is that it was only the third period and they still had four more periods after that! He couldn't believe that Freddie was forcing him to do that! Of course he was fucking his mother and they agreed to a deal, but that was torture!

Looking back at the board, Jake ran to copy the PowerPoint slides while the professor spoke monotonously about a useless topic. He had to make sure he got not only Freddie's notes, but his own. With the corner of his eye to the left, Jake could see that Freddie was sleeping in class as usual. Jake ground his teeth and tried his best not to break the pen. But agreement is agreement. Jake just had to swallow, even if he wanted to hit the bastard.

For one day, Jake had to do all of Freddie's schoolwork, which included: taking notes, doing classwork and homework, and dragging his schoolbag. So basically, Jake just had to be Freddie's personal secretary / intern. But on the bright side, Jake had to admit that he was grateful that Freddie didn't rejoice and tell everyone. At least he knew that Freddie had some honor.

However, the repeated hand cramps were not all that was preventing Jake from easily copying two sets of notes, Markus, Marlon, Yulian and the rest of his Crocus friends were also making it difficult for Jake with his repeated texts. The worst part was definitely the pictures of them hanging out with Sakura doing all sorts of things around town! Without him! Can you believe that?

Sighing, Jake looked back at the screen and to his utter relief, PowerPoint ended. He also noted that the class period was almost over. He could do this, he told himself, just a few more hours.

(~ X ~)

Chapter 2: Astra - Friday

"How many dresses are you going to buy yet !?" Jake screamed as his arms struggled to carry the countless bags she made him carry. He kept telling himself that he had muscles for a reason and that at least he was able to comply with Astra's request. Besides, it wasn't all bad ... he saw Astra go naked ... again ...

Astra looked at him and continued to lick the ice cream cone she had bought, "not everyone is dressed, Jake, I bought some skirts and shirts too," she said. "And are you sure you don't want ice cream? We can go back and get you one!" She offered.

Jake shook his head and refused, "No thanks, there is absolutely no way to carry these bags and eat ice cream. I prefer to just wait until dinner to eat."

Astra's eyes sparkled with realization, "oh, that reminds me! You definitely need to come over for dinner," the blonde told him.

"Okay, you know you're going to have me for the rest of the day, right?" He asked Astra who nodded.

"Sure! That's why you're going to do this!" Astra said.

Jake's shoulders dropped, "I should have known you would do something like this ... I just can't stop ..." the pink-haired boy grunted as he started walking a little faster.

Astra easily kept up with him, "well, I think you and I are even closer to being like that," she smiled.

"We would already be even if you just joined me and your mom for a threesome," he said to himself quietly.

"What was that?" Astra asked, not hearing him the first time.

"Nothing! I just said I would like to know which store we are going to go to next!" He said, covering his guilt excellently. He put a little more vitality into his stride and ran to the nearest store that Astra would surely enter.

The blonde laughed to herself, shaking her head at her actions. "This was the best decision of my life! I can even get you to try some things!"

Chapter 3: Organ - Saturday

"I think I'm going to enter the theater!" Jake laughed out loud, trying to tell his silver-haired friend over the loud music that the DJ was playing over the speakers.

Organ approached while skating expertly. "You should! There are many benefits!" He informed.

Jake continued to laugh as he and his new best friend skated around the rink, dancing to the music. Organ asked Jake to accompany him to the Theater club skating party, as he didn't want to be the only one left out. The Kronos City High Theater Club is known for its excellent plays, the plays being so good that they almost sell out every night they open. Because of that, they got a lot of scratches after putting in a lot of savings, so they decided to give the members a fun party at the local skating rink. But that was not all, they would also be holding a couples competition. Organ had expressed very clearly that he and Jake were not involved in this way and that Organ only invited Jake to come because he was indebted to him. Jake didn't complain because he started to skate and had pizza.

"Don't make eye contact with the judges," Organ whispered as he spun Jake in a circle. "They feed on fear.

Jake took his own right leg and crouched on the left to bend down, "I'm not scared, I'm determined," he smiled.

"Well, show the judges that we eat snobs like them for breakfast!" Organ responded to his smile as they took another turn, listening to the music change to a new one with a faster beat. "Try to change it up a bit, we can't leave them thinking that we only know a few moves."

"I only know a few moves! I've been improvising!" Jake whispered honestly.

"The same here," admitted Organ, "but they don't need to know that!" He started to laugh. Jake joined in the laughter and watched out of the corner of his eye as the judges scribbled on his notes.

"Do you think they care that we're smiling?" He asked Organ.

The silver-haired teenager shook his head, "No way, I think they're just failing to amuse us. I'm having a great time, aren't I?"

Jake nodded, "Hell, yes, I don't even care if we win more! I'm going to get another slice of pizza and come back here!" He smiled.

"That or we can go bowling," Organa offered.

Jake's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, "It's official, you're definitely my favorite Mercury!"

"Don't let my mom catch you saying that, she would be upset," Organ joked, at which Jake frowned and muttered to himself.

Soon their second song ended and they left the stage. A few more teams skated before finally announcing the results. As they thought, the boys did not win, but managed to take third place, which was very good considering that there were twelve teams in all. As Organ had offered, some of the teams crossed the street to the bowling alley. At least there Jake was in his element and completely crushed the competition.

Later that night, Jake made a mental note to definitely enter the drama club.

Chapter 4: Nemo - Sunday

Freddie's request was difficult, but nothing too demanding, Astra was understandable considering that no girl liked to shop alone, Organ's days were one of the best days in Jake's life, but this time ... this time was hell . For Freddie, all Jake had to do was write. For Astra, it was just shopping. Hell, Organ's goal was just to have fun with him and his club. Nemo's was just ridiculous.

Jake was sitting in the middle of a dark, chic hotel room, while he was tied to a chair. That's how most horror movies start!

"W-what are you going to do with me?" Jake stammered, trying his best to remain calm as Nemo stared at him from across the room. Not only was he completely naked, except for underwear, she had a lamp aimed at him, but she kept the rest of the room dark so he couldn't even see what she was doing.

"Shh," she silenced him, "don't speak, you're going to ruin the moment."

'What the fuck is she doing ?!' He cried in his head, 'Why can't I see you !? I'm going to die here, am I not !? Oh my little Chuck Norris you will grow up without a father! ' Jake tried to fight to get rid of his bondage by ropes, but to no avail, he was arrested.

"Just sit down, Jake, I'm almost done," The pink-haired young woman sighed heavily, almost moaning.

'WHAT THE FUCK !?' Jake's eyes widened and he fought even more.

"Ahhh!" Nemo sighed with contentment, rising from his seat. "All done!" Jake could hear the sound of her wiping her hands. "Now, was that so bad?" She asked.

Now Jake knew he probably shouldn't have, but he just couldn't resist. He had a good guess at what she was doing and he would be lying if he said he wasn't the least bit scared. "N-No! It wasn't really," he said.

"Good!" Nemo clapped his hands as he crossed the room to turn on the light. In Jake's eyes, when the lights came on, Nemo was wearing clothes. In addition, there was a large painter's canvas right next to where she was sitting. He finally realized that he was just being a model for his sketches!

"Oh my God ..." Jake wanted so badly to wipe the cold sweat off his neck as he felt the relief wash over him. "You're just drawing me, what a relief!"

Nemo laughed at his reaction and walked over to him to pat him on the shoulder. "I must say, Jake, you are a great model," she said.

"Thank you," he blushed. "Can I see what you drew?" He asked.

Nemo froze and immediately turned his back on him to hide his hot blush. "Umm, no! You can't! II am a little nervous when I show people my art!"

Jake tilted his head questioningly, he knew Nemo wasn't such a bad artist, so why did she suddenly get so shy? "Okay ..." he sighed, not wanting to dwell on it.

Now it was Nemo's turn to sigh with relief, she didn't need to show him the obscene drawing she made of them doing something less than decent.

Chapter 5: Malu - Monday

"Ladies and gentlemen! As a representative of your student body, I must inform you that-" Malu continued to chatter about matters that Jake didn't really care about, he was just apart from this event because Malu raised him.

"Good morning, please take this pamphlet," said Jake, completely bored of his mind as he handed out pamphlets for the event. Truth be told, when Malu texted him this morning about him "helping her make a scene" (as she said in her message that left Jake a little more than excited about all the implications), so imagine the expression of defeat on his face when he learned that he was really helping her and Joselito Eduardo to distribute stupid shit.

A blond man took a pamphlet and inspected it, "So, what is it about?" He asked, without asking why Jake looked so bored.

Jake's shoulders dropped and he sighed heavily, "I don't know, man, I'm just doing this for her.", He pointed at Malu.

The man gave Jake a knowing and sympathetic look, "Oh, you're trying to impress her. Good luck, man, I hope you do," he gave Jake a hopeful smile.

"Ugh. Me too, man, me too," Jake continued to hand out flyers.

'Oh, what would I give if, instead, I was asked to accompany her to a gym and count her doing squats!' Jake fantasized. Watching Malu's squat was definitely a legend. Wait, that gave him a great idea! 'Mental note: get Natasha to join a gym with you!' Jake laughed to himself at his brilliantly obscene idea.

(~ X ~)

Lucille's apartment, Monday, 10:36 pm

Jake silently entered the apartment. He didn't know if Lucille and Hanzel were awake, so he decided to treat this as if they weren't just on the safer side. To his surprise, he saw that Lucille was still awake and watching TV.

"Hey," he whispered as he tiptoed across the floor. "Is Hanzel sleeping?" He asked.

- Yes! Put it on the floor - Lucille told him before patting the spot next to her on the couch, signaling him to join her.

Jake happily sat down and smiled when Lucille snuggled against him, "What are you watching?" He asked.

"Just a few random talk shows, nothing good is going on tonight," she informed him. "You had dinner?"

Jake nodded, "Yes, Malu asked me to take you to dinner."

Malu nodded, "Well, I was afraid you were going to ask me if I still had food," she laughed.

Putting his feet on the coffee table, Jake tilted his head back. "I'm so glad I made those requests. You don't know how long this shit went on," he breathed.

Lucille put a hand on his shoulder, "well, this is what happens when you do the things you do," Lucille smiled.

Jake was about to say something witty back to her, but he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, so he took it out. Lucille closed her eyes thoughtfully, giving him some privacy while checking the phone. She heard it hit the screen a few times before turning it off and putting it back in her pocket.

"Can I ask who it was?" She asked.

"Sure," he laughed lightly, "It was Sakura. She's ... an old friend ... I'm going to meet her tomorrow after school for dinner. You don't mind, do you?" He asked.

"Go ahead," Lucille told him before smiling as he slowly fell asleep.
