Jake discovers his grandfather's magical watch
18 year old Jake Bennet made his way through what used to be his grandfather’s attic. The man had recently passed away and they were cleaning out the last of his stuff before his house would be sold off. Jake had snuck up here to search one final time.
Jake recalled the stories his grandfather had told him. A forbidden magical watch. His grandfather claimed he brought it over from the old world.
When Jake was younger. He listened to incredible tales and adventures. His grandfather always claimed the watch could change your age.
Naturally, his younger self searched for the watch, but never found it. There in a dusty corner of the storage attic was a small wooden box.
Jake’s heart raced with excitement. “Could it be after all these years? ” he thought. Jake wanted adventure and fun. He was sick of living in his younger brother’s shadow.
He made his way over to it and opened the box with trembling fingers. There was an old fashion wristwatch just lying on velvet lining. A silver watch with an old leather strap.
Jake grinned strapping on the watch. He turned the dial. The world spin and blurred.
Jake opened his eyes and didn’t think anything changed until he noticed his hands.
They were younger and smaller, The watch hanging off his wrist slightly. His clothes were baggy. Jake used an attic window to catch his reflection. It was hard to see, but he looked even younger then his younger brother, Thomas. Maybe, a boy of fourteen years old or slightly younger.
Jake decided to change back right away. He didn’t want to be Thomas’s little brother.
Jake turned the dial the other way and the world seemed to spin once more. He was back to his old self. The wrist watch now a perfect fit.
Jake took it off and pocketed it. He left the attic area and pretended that he got done using the upstairs bathroom.
Jake helped his mom moved the last of the junk to the curb. Broken chairs, a worn out table, and stuff nobody really wanted, but seemed to collect.
Thomas just got done moving the last table part to the curb. Jake’s father telling him how proud he was of Thomas. Jake’s father wasn’t a bad father. But, there were times that he clearly favored Thomas over him.
Thomas was better looking, smarter, and more athletic then Jake. No matter the sport. Thomas soon became the star player. Since Thomas got his driver’s license passing the test on his first try unlike Jake. Thomas had become the cool kid in high school. Even the older girls flirted with Thomas.
“You did a good job too, Jacob. ” Jake’s mother said with a warm smile. If Thomas was dad’s favorite. Jake was his mother’s. He just wish that she used his more adult sounding name.
It gave Jake very little comfort. Being a mommy’s boy was hardly a title he wanted.
“Thanks, mom. I’m heading over to the water park now. ” Jake said and pulled out the keys to the old family car. A hand me down on it’s last legs.
Grandfather’s car had gone to Thomas. A vintage mustang that only made Thomas even more cool to be seen in.
Of course, Thomas knew how to work on cars as well.
“Try to be back before dark. ” Jake’s mother said and left his family.
Jake soon arrived at Splashtopia. A huge water park that offer every kind of water ride that a person could dream of.
Even getting here early, the parking area near the front was full. Jake parked toward the back next to the employee’s parking area. Jake was already dressed in swim trunks and sandals made the long walk to the entrance.
Thankfully, the line wasn’t long. Teens, adults and children of all ages waited as they filed through the security gates.
Security guards and police were on hand on the look out for trouble.
The air buzzed with excitement. Smelling of chlorine and sunscreen. Jake paid his way through seeing nearly the last of his spending cash gone. He had just enough to rent a locker and get lunch.
Jake picked a locker with a secluded bench that was in the back area of the locker room. The locker room building was right between the kiddie area and adult’s area. The two sides divided by a privacy fence. The only part anyone could see was a corner of the brightly colored Splash Zone next to the kiddie pool. It was the one place in the park were babies and toddlers could go naked. Mostly, out of sight from other park goers. The park wasn’t super busy, so the crowd wasn’t so bad.
Jake decided to have some fun with the watch. Making sure that he was alone. He carefully turned the dial. Jake shrank as he got younger until he was just a pre-teen boy again.
After adjusting his once tight swim trunks. Jake stored his wallet, towel and watch into his locker putting the key into his swim trunk’s pocket.
Jake raced for the water slides and had a blast. The world seemed bigger and more exciting to him now. Plunging into the cool water at the end was refreshing. Jake even dared the wave pool. The artificial waves tossing him like a cork in the water. The dinging bell warning swimmers when it would start again.
Time flew by and Jake only paused to have lunch. He made sure to wait an hour before returning to the water. The lazy river was very relaxing. It was a lot of fun being a child again. He had worried far less what people might think of him in this form.
Jake decided to take the watch’s power even further. Returning to his secluded bench in the locker room. He decided to become even younger. His swim trunks pooled around his toddler’s ankles.
Jake blushed at the sight of his much reduce penis. He couldn’t remember it ever being that small before and the cold water on his skin didn’t help matters. Jake realized he have to go naked from now on. His teen swim trunks might fit his preteen child self. On a toddler’s body, they would only trip him. Jake discarded the wet swim trunks into his locker along with his watch. Jake had forgot he put the key to the locker into his pocket earlier that day.
Jake quickly made his way into the kiddie area. Draw in by the bright colors and laughter of toddlers like himself.
A group of very pretty teenage girls smiled down at him and a little girl giggled at Jake’s naked state. Jake couldn’t help, but blushing as he ducked into the kiddie area.
The sight of naked babies and unclothed toddlers made him feel at ease. Jake joined them blending into the sea of young children.
Jake no longer felt embarrassed or the awkwardness that he had a minute ago. He was just another naked toddlers among many. He had fun running and playing. The squeals of the other toddlers was intoxicating.
Jake had a blast with a toddler girl who’s name was Lydia. Ever the gentleman, Jake had introduce himself as well. They dodged jets of water that shot up from the ground. Then, there was the huge bucket that tipped over every few minutes dumping gallons of water on toddlers who gathered under it.
Jake had the sudden urge the pee. Feeling a bit guilty and feeling that his bladder would release very soon. He quickly waddled into the little pool just barely waist height for toddlers. He stood next to a intake valve that would filter the water clean.
The relief came fast and Jake was a little concern how easily his bladder had let go.
Jake stayed a bit longer so no one noticed his odd behavior in leaving the little pool so soon.
Jake bee lined for the giant mushroom next with it’s curtain of water all around it. Toddlers darted in and out of the water curtain giggling the entire time.
Jake joined in on the game. Jake didn’t see Lydia anymore and figured her parents took her home.
Jake failed to realized how fast time was flying by as he had fun.
Jake’s fun came to an end with the first announcement came. Crackling over the loudspeaker. A pre-recorded male voice told everyone that the park would be closing soon. The sun was just starting to set. It was casting long shadows across the park. Parents still left inside the kiddie area started gathering up their belongings. Mothers redressing or re-diapering their children. The adults looked weary and even their voices sounded tired. Fathers were carrying worn out children toward the exit of the Kiddie area.
Jake’s own mind was foggy with exhaustion. Jake had forgotten that toddlers needed naps. Jake only realized then that he left the key to his locker in his swim trunks.
Panic flared in Jake’s chest. A primal fear in his mind. How could he been so stupid. Jake noticed another problem. He was alone in the Splash Zone now.
Jake made his way toward the exit of the Kiddie Zone. A nervous feeling creeping up his spine. Jake even went so far to bite his thumb nail as he walked. A childish habit that he grew out of years ago. Jake struggled for a few seconds to recall which locker he left his watch and clothes in.
Tears welled up in his eyes and blurred his vision slightly. Jake had to get back to the locker room and hide in the shower area. He could wait there until the lifeguard used her master key to open up all the lockers. Then, maybe he could get his watch back. Go back to his old life.
Jake was nearly to the exit when a pair of smooth tanned legs blocked his path.
“Hey there, little guy. Are you lost? ” A young woman said with amusement in her tone. She wore a bright red swimsuit. The word Lifeguard printed on it. She was pretty and as she bent down to be more on his level. Jake noticed how much of her cleavage that she was showing off. Her chest now in easy view of him.
Jake’s thumb went into his mouth. The feeling of the finger a comfort to his body. Jake focused on her long blonde hair and kind smile.
“Shh, it’s okay. Little guy. ” The pretty lifeguard said with a gentle tone seeing the tears pricking in his eyes and his thumb sucking.
Jake wanted to tell her everything. Confess the truth. Explain to her that he was really a teenage boy trapped in a toddler’s body. But, the words wouldn’t come out.
Jake’s bottom lip only tremble more and he sucked even harder on his thumb. Jake thought he muttered his name around his thumb. Jake buried his face into his free hand. Clumsy fingers rubbing at his tired eyes. Silent tears now flowing down. Toddler emotions over riding his teen mind. He was so tired and weary from playing all day.
The concern grew on the lifeguard’s face even more. She knelt down to him. Giving him a quick hug. Jake’s face pressed into her chest for a few seconds.
“Jake. Don’t worry, sweetie. We will find your mommy and daddy. ” The female life guard cooed in a soothing tone and gently took him by his free hand.
They walked over to the exit and waited. The life guard scanning the area for a frantic parent. Other water park staff arrived. They started combing the area putting things back into order. Some picking up trash while others picked up lost items into a box.
Jake try to speak to the life guard, but he was so tired and felt so bashful. What felt like hours which was really only minutes passed. They had made several announcements. Calling for Jake’s parents to the Splash Zone and announcing the count down until the park was fully closed to guests. Jake even over heard they were reviewing the security camera footage. Jake knew that would be a dead end.
Anyone watching would see a toddler magically appear from the locker room building. Few companies would dare to put cameras in the changing area next to the shower stalls.
The life guard had a security officer make a radio call for a police officer.
Two minutes later, A cop came with calm and reassuring voice. Pretty soon, Jake was wrapped up in a blanket and being carried toward the park’s exit. Jake understood the gravity of his situation. He was stripped of all his identity. He was a child trapped in a nightmare of his own making.
Just before they left together. The female life guard put a soft and worn out teddy bear toy into Jake’s hand.
He clutched at it like a security blanket. Feeling the soft fake fur against his baby like skin. Jake was strapped into a car seat of the patrol car. His new blanket around his waist.
“Don’t you worry, little man. We got diapers at the station. ” The officer said and even gave Jake a sticker of a police badge.
Jake fell asleep watching the buildings passing by. During the car ride over to the station. He didn’t wake up until they arrived. A kind social services worker greeted them. The time inside the police station was a blur of faces and a sea of voices.
Jake could only clutch his teddy bear even more as they attempted to find his parents. He found the toy a prime source of great comfort now.
They took pictures of him, finger printed him and did their best to get him to talk. Jake only got more upset if they pushed too hard with their questions.
An hour later, the decision was made and Jake was taken to a foster care center. Jake soon found himself in an unfamiliar bed with the sounds of whimpering children in other beds.
Soft snoring of children filling the darkness. Jake clutched the teddy bear tightly as he stared up at the glow in the dark stars stuck to the ceiling.
Jake felt alone. Lost in a world where he didn’t belong. A victim of his own desire for adventure. The wait of his past actions heavy and suffocating on his mind.
He was no longer a teenager yearning for freedom, but a child alone. Jake fell into a deep sleep soon after. His mind and body getting the rest that he needed so badly.
Jake woke up feeling very small and looking at his tiny hands. His bed felt enormous and he try to remember what happened.
Jake vaguely recalled the events that led him here. Jake saw that he was a teenager still trapped in the body of a toddler. Wearing a diaper around his waist. Thankfully for him, still dry.
The care takers were kind, but strangers to him. The other children were loud and a bit mean. They took whatever toy he played with. Meals were messy and he shared bath time with older boys in a big tub. They loved splashing and shouting. A real handful for the foster care takers. Jake could only mumble a few words and stuck to sucking on his thumb most of the time.
Jake hated being naked in front of the older boys. A feeling of being expose as they stood over him in height. Jake got even more bashful when he needed his diaper changed. Jake just couldn’t help himself. He be halfway to a plastic potty only to feel warm pee filling his diaper. He was a teenager on the inside. The shame of wearing diapers for the first time in years made him very self conscious. All dignity lost in those moments.
Days passed in a haze of memories. The care takers started to suspect that Jake was a special needs kid. Jake overheard them when they thought he couldn’t hear their low voices.
He didn’t talk, but for a few simple words. He was withdrawn from the other children. Jake had given up on getting his watch back ever again. The only true regret that Jake had was for his mother. To his family, it would appeared he just disappeared off the face of the earth.
One day, a nice older couple came to the foster care center. Jake was introduce to the Thompsons. Their eyes were kind and their smiles felt warm.
Mrs. Thompson had a gentle touch and a melodic voice. She played with Jake. Building towers or reading him short stories. Jake was strongly drawn to her. For the first time after his transformation. He felt a flicker of hope in his heart.
Mr. Thompson would played games with Jake and take him outside to the foster care playground. The care takers pleased to see Jake opening up to him.
Jake learned the Thompsons had three other children. All daughters. Emily, who was six. Samantha, who was eight, and their oldest child, Mia. A teenage girl of sixteen.
The Thompsons made more visits. Sometimes bringing one of their daughters along or all of them. Jake looked forward to their visits and the attention he got.
They were kind enough to bring him a new teddy bear, colorful picture books and a new soft blanket for his bed. The care takers made sure the other children kept their hands off of these gifts.
One afternoon, the Thompsons arrived much later then the normal time they would have shown up. Their expressions were filled with joy and excited smiles were on their faces.
Mrs. Thompson told Jake that he was being adopted by them. She explained that he would have a real family and a loving home.
Jake could hardly believe his ears. Jake wondered if it could be really true. Was he finally going to leave this place and regain true happiness again.
Jake couldn’t help himself and wrapped his little arms around her neck. Jake played with Emily on the whole car ride to his new home. The Thompsons were very well off. The home was large and cozy looking. The moment Jake stepped inside. The faint oder of baking cookies lingered in the air. His sisters showed him his room.
He had three beds in total. A cool looking race car one and a pair of bunk beds with a slide that was attached to the top bunk. The walls were a simple deep blue that Jake really liked. Almost like the night sky or being deep under the sea.
There was a gaming tablet on a charger in a childproof case just sitting on a little desk.
The book shelves had very few books and his toy box was mostly empty. Clearly, the Thompsons were going to let him pick out what he wanted on future shopping trips.
One corner held a tent in the shape of a castle. His new parents really had gone all out.
Jake found his new sisters kind and they included him into their games. Jake loved listening to their chatter even if he couldn’t carry on much of a conversation.
Jake no longer felt that he was surrounded by strangers and a feeling that he was truly home had filled his body.
Life with the Thompsons was a whirlwind of new experiences. Jake quickly learned his new parents wanted to teach their children everything.
Jake’s new sisters read him stories and they built cushion forts in the living room. TV time was always short and the entire family gathered to watch family friendly movies.
They often went to the park to play. Jake ran into Lydia on the playground. It turned out her family lived right next door to them.
Lydia happily telling her mother that he was her friend from the water park. Jake loved the feeling of the wind as they swung on the swing sets and the laughter that filled the air between them.
Bath times were no longer a dreaded event for Jake. Mrs. Thompson would add bubbles and colorful bath toys. Jake’s sisters joined him. Jake felt only the slightest tinge of embarrassment, but he was their beloved little brother. That is what truly matter to him. Jake did his best not to stare at Mia’s naked teen body and most of the time she would sit behind him in the tub. Jake without really meaning too. Sat back to relax against her soft bare chest.
Mia was in charge while Mrs. Thompson prepared dinner.
Potty training proved to be interesting. Jake knew how to use the toilet, but his little body wasn’t cooperating yet.
Accidents did happen much to his chagrin, but his parents were patient. They celebrated his successes and provided comforts during his set backs.
Jake’s new dad would often take him on walks for ice cream. Father and son time as he called it. When Jake got too tired to walk. Mr. Thompson would put Jake on his strong shoulders. Jake felt cherish and safe in his arms.
One day, while they were visiting a fast food place. Something the Thompsons rarely did since Mrs. Thompson did most of the cooking.
Jake used the free Wi-Fi to log on to his Facebook account. He had messages from his family and friends. Begging for him to contact them. Jake having mastered typing on the tablet by now. He posted a message online for everyone to see.
He told them that he was traveling the world and for them not to worry. He claimed that he met some new friends and they were looking after him. Jake attached a digital postcard to the public message. A picture of a place in Mexico that was a tourist hot spot.
Jake even took the time to respond to each message while his new dad was busy at the food counter. Jake finished with his responses and made sure to wipe the browser history. His tablet was also password protected. Jake even went so far to use an investment app and dumped nearly all his money into a few company stocks. Given enough time and luck. Jake hoped he have a nice little nest egg by the time he was a teenager again.
Jake was very thankful for digital documents that would be sent straight to his e-mail accounts.
Jake dismissed the apps just as Mr. Thompson came back to the table with their order.
Jake suspected his new parents took him to fast food places because his little body needed the fatty foods.
The next day, they had a family picnic in the backyard. Jake feeling adventurous took his diaper off and giggled as his sisters attempted to chase him down.
Jake liked the feeling of cool air on his bare skin even if it felt strange to him. Inside, he was still a teenager. But, streaking was a time honored tradition for young children to do. Besides, the world saw him as a little boy.
It was Mrs. Thompson who caught him in the end. Tickling him and calling him a silly goose. She advise him to tell her when he needed to go potty. Jake suspected the nearby bushes might get watered if he needed to go.
Jake spent the rest of the afternoon diaper free and playing with his sisters. His two younger sisters stripped down to their underwear when they started playing in the dirt.
Over time, Jake learned to navigate his new life. He made leaps with his speech, learning to speak with full words and phrases. He pretended to learn numbers and letters at a speed that shocked his new parents.
The Thompsons quickly believe Jake was really a child prodigy. Jake was still a teenager at heart, but he had learned to embrace the joys of childhood again.
Jake loved his new family more then words could say. They given him a chance at happiness in his second childhood.
Months turned into years. Jake grew and developed even deeper bonds with his sisters and foster parents.
He made friends in pre-school that lasted well into elementary school. Lydia, one of his favorite playmates often came over for sleep overs and shared baths. Lydia, a curious little girl when it came to what boys had between their legs.
Mrs. Thompson amused by Lydia’s curious hands. Jake gave in since it was innocent fun for her. Lydia’s mother noticed that Jake was a little gentleman with her. Both parents took pictures of them during these innocent times.
Jake often slept in the same bed with her. Wearing only their underwear. Just shy of his eighth birthday. Lydia gave him his first real kiss outside of the childish pecks that they shared in the past.
At the tender age of twelve, both of them lost their virginity for the first time, after Lydia snuck into his room one night. It was clumsy at first, but Lydia left happy even if she was sore.
Then the universe decided that Jake’s life was far too simple. Mia, now twenty five years old returned from college with a new boyfriend. Jake gawked at the twenty five year old version of Thomas. Apparently, he done well for himself and got into the same college as Mia.
It felt strange for Jake to be introduce to his own brother from his previous life.
Thomas smirked at the sound of his name. Thomas told him that he had a globe trotting older brother named Jacob that the family hadn’t seen in years. Jake was surprised to hear his former brother admitted that he was jealous that his older brother was seeing the world. Jake had kept up the pretend life online. Careful to use public wi-fi networks only when he made his posts.
Thomas never suspected that Jake was really his long lost brother.
The Thompsons were charmed by Thomas and impressed by his feats.
Mrs. Thompson praised her own adopted son for being a straight A plus student. Mr. Thompson even bragged that Jake was a minor track star and did very well on the swim team. The dinner conversation then switched to his sisters’s many achievements. His sisters having many hobbies over the years.
The dreaded day came when the parents of Mia and Thomas would meet. Jake did his best to stay out of sight, but introductions were made. Jake’s biological father merely smiled at him. Jake’s mother stared down at him. Her mouth opened then she schooled her expression. Jake was happy to see the years of him being absent hadn’t aged his real mother much.
They enjoyed a huge family dinner at the Thompsons house. Jake was being quiet for the most part. Trying to be invisible as the family members chatted away. After dinner, Mr Thompson was showing Mr. Bennet around the home. Jake was happy that his old family hadn’t recognize him. The old Jake had been a bit pudgy and pale looking. The Jake before them was lean and tan. Jake excused himself back to his room after awhile.
Jake returned to his room to find his real mother there. She told him with no doubt in her tone. That she knew his secret. Jake try to play it off at first, but caved in when she stood over him. His mother’s knowing glare on him as she looked deep into his eyes.
With gentle hands, she had him sit on the bed with her. She scolded him about lying to her. Telling him that a good mother would know her son by sight and smell alone. Jake confessed fully and tears fell from his face. Jake’s real mother hugged him and Jake asked how she suspected him.
She pulled out a certain wrist watch from the inner pocket of her purse. Jake stared at it and realized her youthful appearance wasn’t just good living. She had discovered the power of the watch years ago he bet.
Jake’s real mother explained how his things were returned to her after being found abandon in a locker at the water park. Jake locked the door to his room and explained everything to her. From being a scared little toddler and being adopted by the Thompsons.
Jake’s mother asked him for a favor. Jake quickly told her sure.
At her request, Jake made himself younger once more. She held him on her lap asking for his forgiveness that she wasn’t there for him during his second childhood. She had suspected he gotten into trouble. She felt powerless to help him. Since, she had no idea how young or old he was. She always suspected younger since his swimming trunks were left behind.
Jake explained that the Thompson were really great people and he loved his adopted sisters deeply. A light thump sound came from the closet that drew their collected attention. Someone was in the closet. The closet door slightly ajar.
Jake felt his heart drop when the closet door slowly opened to reveal Lydia. Jake realized that she must have snuck over again. Hiding in the walk in closet before his real mother arrived to his room. Lydia had over heard and saw everything.
Lydia didn’t look hurt. She walked over to Jake and tickled his chin. Lydia then told him that it didn’t matter how young or old he was. That she loved him regardless. Jake quickly turned back to normal and introduce his girlfriend.
The talk was brief when a knock came at the door. Jake asked who it was. Mrs. Thompson was at the door. Jake unlocked then opened the door for her. What a sight it must have been. The trio with guilty looks on their faces.
Jake pretending they were keeping Lydia’s visit a secret as he closed the door behind his foster mother. Lydia being quick witted apologized for the visit while they had guests. Of course, Mrs. Thompson instantly accepted it. Making a comment that her adopted son and Lydia were like two peas in a pod.
Mrs. Thompson asked his real mom if she like to look over the family albums. She mentioned that Jake was quite the little nudist at first. Jake blushed as the women left him alone with Lydia. The watch back in his real mother’s purse.
Jake made sure Lydia was truly okay with him. Lydia admitted that she always knew that he was different from the other boys. Telling him he was smarter, more mature and nicer to be around.
Lydia reassured him that she stilled loved him no matter his true age. She kissed him goodbye before sneaking back to her house.
Jake returned to the family gathering to find his real mom laughing with Mrs. Thompson as they looked over bath time photos. No doubt when he was six years old with Lydia right beside him.
As time passed. Jake’s mom, Mrs. Bennet became the family’s on call babysitter. With Mia’s relationship growing stronger with Thomas. It wouldn’t be long until there were wedding bells then the pitter-patter of little feet again in the households.
Samantha, now seventeen years old. Hung out with her friends and spent less time with her family. She was also spending time checking out colleges with dorms.
This left fifth-teen year old Emily who barely had a driver’s permit. It was easier for the Thompsons to have Mrs. Bennet watch over the young tweens.
Jake had gone back to the water park several times over the long years with the Thompsons. Today would be a more magical experience. It also meant they had to let Emily in on the secret about the watch that Mrs Bennet owned. Jake’s own personal secret was still safe from his new family. Maybe, when he turned twenty five years old. He would reveal the truth to his adopted parents or not at all.
This time the change took place in the women’s locker room and they snuck Jake into the area using a fluffy towel. Jake was first and for the third time in his life. He was back to being a toddler once more. Emily was next and Lydia was last.
Mrs. Bennet even made herself into a teenager just to relive her glory days one last time.
Lydia and Jake instantly embraced their nudity while Emily kept on blushing. She was still finding it hard to believe that Mrs. Bennet had such a magical watch.
The trio of toddlers soon found themselves running and playing with joy in the Splash Zone. Mrs. Bennet keeping a very watchful eye on them. Slowly, Emily relaxed and enjoyed being a kid again. Even if she was naked as the day she was born.
They would spend nearly the entire day at the water park. Just after lunch, Mrs. Bennet aged the trio of toddlers into older children and dressed them in swimsuits she bought just for this day.
Toward evening, the girls were first to be restored to their right ages. Jake made sure to keep his back turn as the ladies in his life undress to change. Jake was sent over to the boy’s side of the locker rooms with his clothing and the watch.
Jake had returned the watch to his mother after getting dress then restoring himself back to normal.
There were other times they got to use the watch. Under his mother’s careful supervision. Jake used the watch to age himself into the adult he should have been. They took pictures of his face and made sure nothing in the background could be use to get his location. Jake also made himself older looking until he appeared to be a man in his late forties for more shots to post much later.
Jake would post these pictures over time. Keeping up the facade that he was still a wandering globe trotter.
Jake happily returned to his tween self.
As the months went on. Jake soon became an uncle and his adventures with the watch soon became less and less. He focused on school, family and Lydia.
Jake had learned to embrace his new life by living it. Emily on the other hand often took up Mrs. Bennet’s offers to use the watch. Jake did enjoy the times he was the big brother and showed the same kindness that Emily had for him when he was younger.
Months became years. Jake learned to drive again and finished high school with Lydia as a top student in their high school classes.
Mrs. Bennet focused her life on spoiling the youngest members in her extended family. Emily ended up with the watch in the very end. Jake gave her warnings about not getting too crazy with it’s power.
Emily promised him to be careful with it’s power. Emily unlike her siblings decided to attend the local college. Jake and Lydia left for the college dorm rooms.
Naturally, when they finished college. Jake and Lydia were married and expecting their first child. He couldn’t wait to meet his future son. Jake’s investments had sky rocketed over the years. He would made sure that his wife and son would have more then they would ever need. Jake promised to love each of his children with equal love while passing on his wisdom.
Emily had finished college, but yearn for more. With her parents blessing. She decided to go back packing across Europe while promising to stay in touch.
Then, the news came. A crying and upset Emily called Jake that the watch had been stolen from her bag along with her traveling money. Jake ever the loving brother wired her more then enough funds to go on with her adventure or return home. Voicing his opinion, he quickly forgave her for losing his grand father’s watch. Jake honestly thought it was for the best anyways.
