Cheaper by the dozen 2 Jake Baker X reader

Chapter 7

Time skips

We where all gathered around a table while Mr. Baker walked in front of us.

"All right, from now on, no seeing the Murtaughts, no talking to the Murtaughs, no thinking about the Murtaughs."

"Can't we compete and still like, see them?" Sarah asked

"No!" Mr. Baker said

"This doesn't count for me though cause I'm not a Baker so I'm gonna go." I said getting up

"No! Sit now!"Mr. Baker said pointing for me to sit back down.

I quickly sit and look at Jake kinda concerned

"Right Now, I am not a father, I am a coach, to everyone living in this house."

"and we're gonna be training twice a day, every day, starting outside, in ten minutes."

We are all out side doing jumping jacks for some random reason that no one knows

I don't think Mr. Baker knows why either but I'm too scared to say anything.

"Push ups now!" he yells at us.

And then yells at Lorraine for not doing them.

Jake and I are doing the three legged race. In the competition

"Okay it's a three legged race, but run as if you had two. And as fast as you can." He yelled at us

On your mark, get set, go! So we went and fell flat on are faces
Over and over and over

Then Jake fell on top of me and caught him self before are heads collided.

"Hi" he said with one hand on either side of my head

"Hi" I said giggling

"Come on you two we don't have time for this funny business." Mr. Baker yell causing us to get up.

Now I am also doing the volleyball part because I play for my school. And can actually hit it over the net.

Dinner

We are all silently eating Jake and I aren't allowed to sit next to each other because we talk to one another and get distracted whatever that means.

But I am still to scared to question it.

I thought he just meant when we were practicing but I asked Jake to get me a glass down from a cabinet and we got yelled at.

So basically everyone has been miserable.

"I really love having a family dinner where all you can hear is forks hitting the plates." Nora said

"You know this could be our last chance to be together, and your totally ruining it. I'm glad we're moving to Houston, and so is Iron Mike or Donna Baker Butkus McNulty.

Nora says storming out

Then coming back grabbing her food and leaving again.

At least she has here priorities straight. Food first then anger.

"Bulk up."Mr. Baker said to Jake who had stopped eating.

The next day

Jake's POV

I was sitting on the porch looking at the lake when I noticed Sarah and Eliot talking on the dock

Then Dad walks out and sees them He stares for a long moments before walking down the porch steps

"Hey Dad" I said getting his attention

"I know this Baker vs Murtaugh thing means a lot to you but don't ruin there relationship like you did with mine." I said pointing towards Sarah and Eliot.

"What do you mean by that?" my Dad asked

You separated me and y/n we haven't talked to each other at all and that is because you said we weren't allowed to. I said storming off past my Dad

"Where are you going?" Dad yells at me

"To go find y/n and apologize. We were supposed to go to the movies tonight with Sarah and Eliot but I guess not anymore because of your rules."

Toms POV

I watch as my son storms off in anger. I didn't even realize they were in a relationship let alone that I was messing with it.

I turn and see Eliot kiss Sarah on the cheek and him get back into his canoe

Sarah runs up the dock with a bright smile on her face.

"Hey dad. um, are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, I just need you to help me, uh pace out, uh, 25 yards for the egg race, start here, okay?" I said

"Hey,Dad, I was...

"Those steps are too small."

"Now those steps are too—

"Can I go to the movies with Eliot Murtaugh tonight? Sarah asked interrupting me.

So that's what Jake meant by them going to the movies it is a double date I thought to myself.

—are to big"

"I guess so." I said not wanting to make things worse.
