Hi all. i rececntly watched The Covenant for the first time and became totally obsessed. I got this little plot bunny in my head that was running in a tiny little circle and absolutely refused to go anywhere or leave me alone. I was listening to the song Finally by Fergie and got a sudden inspiration for this fic.
i don't own the movie or the song. i own my two ocs and this plot. that's all. and i barely have that.
Sienna sighed. It had been a very long day. The third son had just turned thirteen, therefore she'd had to give him the responsibility lecture that none of the Garwins had ever listened to before. She'd also had to explain to him exactly how to use his Powers. And judging by the gleam in his eyes, she had a feeling that this particular Garwin was going to be more difficult than any of the others.

That night, as Sienna was lying in bed trying to sleep with the song "Finally" playing softly in the background, she felt the tell-tale jolt in her chest that meant that one of the Sons had just used. She sighed, and as she rolled out of bed she saw which one it was.
Standing in the middle of her room, eyes sparkling with tears, was Reid Garwin, the last person she would have expected. She knew that the Sons tended to be more emotional in the weeks following the development of their Powers, and she had told each of them that they could feel free to come to her with any questions or problems or anything, but she never expected to see a crying Reid Garwin in her bedroom.
She was quickly in front of him and lifting his chin so he'd meet her eyes. Trying to make her voice as caring and concerned as possible, she asked, "What's the matter Reid? What happened?"
Rather than answer her, he threw his arms around her and began crying into her chest. She led him over to her bed and sat down. He sat down on her lap, which surprised her even more, and buried his face in her neck. She wrapped her arms protectively around the boy and whispered meaningless words of comfort to him as he cried. She quickly used her own Powers to turn up her stereo, hoping that the song may calm him down.
Giving up on trying to comfort him with words, she just held him close and let him cry as the music filled the room.
Ever since I was a baby girl I had a dream
Cinderella theme, crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside
That there would come that day
But I would have to wait
Make so many mistakes
I couldn't comprehend as I watched it unfold
This classic story told
I left it in the cold
Walking through unopened doors that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
Finally now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
I remember the beginning
You already knew
I acted like a fool
Just trying to be cool
Frontin' like it didn't matter
I just ran away
Put on another face
Was lost in my own space
Found what it was like to hurt selfishly
I was scared to give up me
Afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous insecure pathetic place
Stumbled through the mess that I had made
Finally got out of my own way
I finally started living for today
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
Finally now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Finally, finally
Finally now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something beautiful is happening
Finally now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Finally, finally
Finally
At the end of the song, Sienna looked back down at Reid and noticed that he had cried himself to sleep. She used to transport them to his bedroom and then shifted gently to place him on his bed without waking him up. Before she left, she bent down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. She then went back to her own room and was able to fall into a deep and dreamless sleep.
