Disclaimer: I do not own The Lost Boys. If I did none of the boys would have died. I only own the plot, Amethyst and any other OCs.
heavenssadi: Thank You for being the first to review ^_^For that I'm posting this chapter.
Sorry this is kinda short ^^"
One-and-a-half-year-old Amethyst sat on Paul's knee as he and Marko sat on the fountain and tried to teach her to talk.
"Marko. Can you say Marko, Amethyst?" The little blond girl stared at Marko with bright blue eyes.
"How about Paul?" She looked at Paul. "Paul." He said slowly.
"Come on say Marko. Mm- ar- ko." She looked back at Marko.
"She's not gunna learn that fast." Dwayne said from his spot on the couch.
"Yeah well our names are easier than yours is."
"And hers." Paul commented. David sat in his chair and glared at the child. She, as if sensing his stare, turned around and looked back. Paul and Marko raised an eyebrow and looked over to David.
"Hey, David, why don't you try?" Marko asked.
"I don't want anything to do with that thing." He said looking away.
"Don't listen to that mean David." Paul said to her quietly.
"Come on we're all her daddies. We have to all take care of her." Marko said. David ignored him.
"Why don't we try to teach her to walk again?" Paul said to Marko who nodded and got up. Paul put her down so she was standing between his legs. He kept his hands under her arms and let her get used to standing. Marko crouched down a few feet away.
"Come here, Amethyst. Come here Amy." Paul gave him a look.
"Amy?"
"Well she has to learn how to say her name too, Amy is easier than Amethyst." Paul shrugged and helped Amethyst slowly walk to Marko. He let go of her and she took two steps before falling. She caught herself on her little hands and slowly stood up. She stood for a moment before falling backwards. Paul caught her before she hit the ground. David suddenly got up.
"Where are you going?" Dwayne asked.
"Out." Was all he said before walking away.
David left the cave and got on his bike. He sped off trying to clear his head. This baby was taking over their lives. Marko and Paul were turning into softies and Dwayne was becoming like a father for that.. That thing. Why had Max made them take in the child. They could barely take care of themselves and he expected them to take care of a child. And it was a girl no less. What did they know about how to raise a girl? He sighed arriving at the boardwalk. He needed to feed.
Back at the cave Marko and Paul were still trying to teach Amethyst to walk. She had fallen many times but kept getting up.
"Come on, girl, you can do it." Paul said holding out his arms as Marko helped Amethyst walk the first few steps. He let go and she slowly made her way over to Paul. "Come on. You can do it. You're almost there." She reached out her tiny hands to him as she got close enough. He smiled and picked her up, spinning around.
"She did it!" Marko said happily standing up. Little Amethyst smiled and giggled as Paul spun around.
"Alright you three, it's time for her nap." Dwayne said taking her from Paul. Paul and Marko frowned.
"Aww." Dwayne rolled his eyes and cradled her in his arms. She smiled up at him and touched his face. He walked over to the crib he got for her. He put her down gently and covered her with the blanket. She frowned and reached up. He stroked her head and she grabbed his hand. He pulled his hand away and she started to whimper like she was about to cry.
"Don't cry, Amethyst." He said tucking the blanket under her. "Go to sleep." He leaned down and kissed her forehead. Soon Amethyst was asleep, David was still out and the boys had gone to their cave to go to sleep.
David came back an hour before the sun rose. He walked in and was about to go to the inner cave when he heard Amethyst whimper. He looked over to where her crib was to see her standing, holding onto the railing, looking at him about to cry. He sighed and went to keep walking but she started to cry. He flinched and glared at her. Knowing she wouldn't stop until he did something, he walked over to her crib and stared down at her. She looked up at him, tears falling down her little face.
"Stop crying." She reached up for him. "I'm not going to pick you up." He said. She kept reaching and grabbed his shirt. He took her hand off of him and made a face. "Stop it." She opened her mouth like she was trying to say something. He narrowed his eyes.
"D-D-" His eyes widened slightly as he realized she was trying to say his name. "Day-"
"Stop it." He snapped. He didn't want his name to be the first this she said. Plus Paul and Marko would pester him about missing her first word. She kept trying to say it.
"Day-Dav-"
"I said stop it." He said picking her up and holding her arms-length. She had stopped crying and was focusing on speaking.
"Dayv-Davi-Davi-" He shook her slightly but still gently.
"Stop." He said before putting her back into the crib and walking towards the inner cave.
"Day-vid!" She said. He froze and turned around. She was standing again with a smile on her face. "David!" She repeated, happy with herself for being able to say his name. He turned back and walked to the inner caves. Ignoring the little girl calling his name. "David!"
The next night when the boys went into the main cave Marko jumped over to Amethyst's crib.
"Good night Amethyst. Sleep well?" He asked picking her up.
"David!" She shouted once she saw the blond leaving the inner cave. He glared in her direction. Paul frowned.
"She said your name!" Marko looked at Amethyst.
"Why did you say his name? Come on say Marko." He said with a hopeful grin.
"David." She said with a smile. Marko sighed.
"When did she learn your name?" Dwayne asked.
"Last night." David growled sitting in his chair. "She wouldn't stop trying till she said it and once she did she wouldn't stop shouting it."
"She likes you." Marko said.
"Although why, I don't know." Paul said nudging Marko. He took Amethyst from him and held her on his hip. "Come on, say Paul. You know David's name. Say Paul."
"David!" She shouted happily. Paul sighed sitting on the couch. "David!"
