Katie
By: Wee-hoo
Summary: Lyle comes to the Centre with a visitor.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, the Centre or anything about it. I do own Katie though.
A/N: I promise that this story will be more exciting. And I know that many others have written stories when a character has a child, but I dreamt about this so I just had to write it. Rated PG because I'm not sure how to rate it. If anyone think it's wrong, just review and I will re-rate it ASAP. All reviews are gladly accepted, even flames. Thank you.
TUESDAY 9.00 THE CENTRE LOBBY
Miss Parker is standing looking through her mail when she sees her brother coming through the door carrying something. She looks at him and sees that it is a little girl; she believes that he has kidnapped her for the Centre's benefits. She sighs deeply and decides to try and save the little girl from her psycho brother.
"Who did you kill this time? Are you taking her to Raines?" she asks with an angry look. Lyle stares at her and gives her a look that clearly says 'back-off'.
"I didn't kill anyone and I'm definitely not taking her to Raines. Could you get out of my way?" he asks in a threatening manner. Miss Parker doesn't move an inch; she keeps staring at the sleeping girl. She can hear her inner sense telling her to leave them alone, that the girl is safe. But how could she possibly believe that? Lyle isn't someone she could trust, especially not when it concerns a child.
"No. Not until you tell me what you're going to do with her," Miss Parker says clearly refusing to back down. Suddenly a sweeper walks up to them and Lyle stares at him warningly.
"I can take her for awhile sir. I can put her in her cell if you tell me what sublevel it's on."
"You touch her and you're dead. She doesn't have a cell. Now leave," Lyle says with a growling voice, which makes the girl wake up. The sweeper quickly runs off in another direction.
"What's wrong?" she asks still a bit sleepy.
"Nothing's wrong sweetie. Sorry to wake you," Lyle answers in a much nicer tone. Miss Parker gives him a doubting look that he ignores.
"Katie isn't sleepy anyway," the girl says with a big yawn.
"I'm sure. You could go back to sleep now sweetie," Lyle says with a smile knowing she won't fall asleep until she finds out who he is talking with.
"Nah. Who's she?" she asks and looks at Miss Parker curiously.
"Katie I would like you to meet your aunt, Miss Parker. Miss Parker this is Katie, my daughter," Lyle answers. Miss Parker stares at him in shock and then looks at Katie and instantly sees the resemblance to Lyle.
"Auntie Parker. Katie likes that. Katie wants Auntie Parker," she says in a voice that clearly says obey me or else. Lyle makes a little laugh and puts her on the floor. Miss Parker stares at the girl in amazement. Katie walks over to Parker and stares up at her expectantly. Miss Parker looks at Lyle not sure what she wants her to do.
"She wants you to pick her up. Please do or we will have one angry five year old on our hands," Lyle pleads. Miss Parker stares at him and then turns her eyes to the girl at her feet who looks like she's about to cry any second. Miss Parker bends down and scoops the girl up in her arms. Katie almost immediately falls asleep.
"I didn't know you had a child," she whispers. Lyle gives her a sad smile.
"You don't have to whisper. She won't wake up unless you sound angry. You didn't know because I never told anyone. Could we go to your office?" he asks.
"Sure, let's go," she answers still having a lot of questions. On the way to her office they meet Sydney and Broots. Miss Parker can see Lyle going instantly into protective mode. He narrows his eyes angrily and stares at the two men trying to figure out if they are a threat. Broots looks at Miss Parker with a shocked expression. Sydney in his turn is looking at the sleeping child in her arms.
"Who is this Miss Parker?" Sydney asks moving his hand to touch the girls face. Lyle starts to make a growling noise. Sydney doesn't seem to hear, his hand gets closer to the child's face. Lyle grabs the older mans hand and effectively stops it. Sydney retracts his hand and throws him an angry look. Miss Parker rolls her eyes and shifts Katie into a more comfortable position.
"Why don't you ask Lyle? He knows more than I do," she answers and sees the odd look on Sydney's face.
"I'm not talking about this out here. Come on let's go," he says and the group continues towards Miss Parker's office.
IN MISS PARKER'S OFFICE
Miss Parker puts her niece in the sofa. Lyle is standing between Katie and Broots and Sydney. Miss Parker goes to stand next to Sydney.
"Lyle I think it's time for you to explain," Sydney says. Lyle nods and sits down next to his sleeping daughter.
"This is my daughter Katherine, she's called Katie. My girlfriend got pregnant about five years ago and I had to hide my family from the Centre. Nine months later Katie was born, and my girlfriend took care of her when I was at the Centre. She didn't work, she was incredible, and she could take care of Katie with her eyes closed. About a month ago she died and Katie got so upset I had to place her in a hospital; she got violent and tried to hurt herself and everyone else. I got her back a week ago because the hospital called and said that she missed me. I managed to get a baby sitter but she quit yesterday, said she couldn't handle a girl who talked about herself in third person. If she wants anything she says Katie wants that. I guess it got pretty annoying for her," Lyle says with a sad smile. He could feel the tears in his eyes as he talked about Katie's mother. He could still remember her long blonde hair, blue eyes and the way her soft lips felt on his. He remembered her lovely smell, the way she looked at him when he came back from work. He gets abruptly awoken from his daydreaming when the door is opened and Mr. Parker comes in. Lyle immediately jumps off the sofa prepared to protect his daughter. Mr. Parker smiles and when he sees the little girl sleeping on the sofa he raises a questioning eye-brow towards his daughter.
"Daddy? What are you doing here?" Miss Parker asks.
"Just visiting my Angel. Why is this child in your office?"
"She's my daughter. And if you plan on taking her to use as one of your pretenders, you have to go through me first. And I warn you, when it comes to her, I'm prepared to do anything to protect her," Lyle warns. Mr. Parker turns to look at him.
"I have a granddaughter? She's so cute. What's her name?" he asks noticing the anxiety in his son. But he understands, he's afraid that someone will take her away.
"Katie. After mom," he says silently still not sure if Katie's safe. Mr. Parker smiles at him.
"That's a good name son. Can I see her when she's awake?" he asks hopefully. Lyle hesitates for awhile.
"Yeah. But only when I'm around."
"Of course. I'll see you later then. I'll be in my office if you need anything." He says and leaves. Lyle stares at the door for about one minute after he left, until he sees Broots taking a step forward. Lyle instantly makes a low growl to warn him. Broots looks at him with a terrified expression and takes two steps back.
"Lyle calm down. Broots is very good with children you know, he has one," Miss Parker says in a soothing manner.
"I know. But I don't trust him yet. Maybe later on, I'm sorry Broots. I'm just a little overprotective."
"A little?" Miss Parker says sarcastically. Lyle throws her an evil glare.
"I understand Mr. Lyle," Broots says and has a small smile on his face. Lyle smiles back after a moment of hesitation. When Katie starts to stir in her sleep Lyle bends down next to her, whispering something in her ear. She wakes up and smiles at him. He smiles back.
"Katie I have some people I would like you to meet."
"Katie's awake. Katie meet people," she says with a smile.
"Okay. This is Sydney and Broots, some of the people I work with. She is very good at judging people, she can always tell when someone is a threat to us and Katie inherited that ability from her mother. If she trusts you, so will I," he explains. Katie looks at them curiously she gets up from the sofa and walks over to hug them. She starts with Broots who looks at Lyle who nods, he bends down and hugs the little girl, and Sydney does the same. When she feels that she has done her duty she walks over to Lyle and lifts her arms over her head.
"Katie wants up," she whines. Lyle smiles at her and picks her up.
"Your wish is my command sweetheart," he answers and sees the strange looks he's getting from the three others. He throws them an angry glare.
"What?" he asks threateningly.
"You are so different around her. Can't you bring her everyday?" Miss Parker asks. Lyle tries to look angry but the laughter slips.
"I don't think I have a choice. Katie seems to dislike every baby sitter I get. Don't you?" he asks.
"Aha. Katie wants daddy," she answers with a huge smile. Lyle kisses her forehead.
"And daddy wants Katie."
"Katie loves daddy," she says just as the doors is opened again. This time by Willie to let Raines in. Lyle can feel Katie starting to shiver. He puts her down on the floor and stands in front of her protectively. Katie hugs his leg and looks around to figure out what's going to happen.
"I want the child," he orders.
"What child?" Miss Parker asks innocently.
"That child," he says angrily pointing at Katie. Lyle narrows his eyes hatefully.
"The day you get your hands on her is the day hell freezes over," he growls.
"Why are you so protective over that brat?" Raines asks surprised, Lyle takes a step towards him and Katie quickly runs to stand behind Miss Parker instead.
"That is none of your business. And if I ever hear you call her a brat again you won't live to see your next birthday. Now leave us alone," he threatens and takes another step towards him. Raines raises a hand in surrender and leaves with Willie close behind him.
"He's gone, for now. Come here sweetie, I'm sorry if I scared you," he says looking at his daughter. She quickly runs to him.
"Katie not afraid of daddy. Katie don't like wheezy," she explains as he picks her up. Lyle gives her an odd look.
"Wheezy huh? You mean Raines?" he asks knowing the answer.
"Aha. Wheezy no nice."
"No. Wheezy very bad, if he ever comes near you again without anyone in this room being present, run. Okay? Run as far and fast as you can."
"Yes daddy. Katie runs if Katie meets Wheezy without friends."
"Good girl."
"Well since this has taken about all morning, I say we go to eat lunch," Miss Parker suggests. Katie's face shines up immediately.
"Katie wants lunch with friends," she says with a pleading look at her father. He starts to laugh.
"You know I can't resist that look, we're going to lunch with friends," he says and the small group heads for the cafeteria.
MEANWHILE RAINES'S OFFICE
"I want all the information I can get on that kid. And I want it yesterday," Raines says to Willie clearly annoyed. Willie nods and turns to leave. When he walks out the door Raines says something.
"I'm sorry, what did you say sir?"
"Find out the connection between that brat and Mr. Lyle," Willie nods and walks out the door.
"There's definitely something strange going on here. I just needed a kid for my latest experiment and Lyle goes nuts on me. I don't understand," Raines mumbles to himself.
