The store was surprisingly open. It was around two in the morning and it was mostly women who were inside.

"Why are they open? Don't they need sleep too?" Marko asked him as they pulled into the parking lot. David didn't answer right away, he handed the child to Marko.

"Take it. I'll be back." He slid off his coat. "Wrap it up in this. It'll keep it quiet."

The child squealed, reaching it's tiny hands towards David. Marko cooed to her, "Aww! David, she likes you!" He began to rock her, lost in a fatherly moment.

David didn't answer. He ran inside the brightly lit store and began to wonder himself as to why such a store would be open this early.

He sprinted down the aisles, grabbing as much diapers, formula, and bottles as they would need for a week. The rest of the money, he used to buy a seat.

The clerk was annoyingly nosy when he went to check out. A fat women who most likely had no children and made up for it by working at a baby supply store, she clucked her tongue at him.

"Is it a boy or girl?" She asked.

"Girl." He replied simply, flicking through the cash to give her the amount needed.

"Aww!" She smiled. " Are you the daddy?"

He began to feel his patience wear thin, "No, thank god. "

She looked him over, from the top of his spiked platinum blond mop of hair down his black Led Zeppelin t-shirt, his black tattered jeans, to the tips of his motorcycle boots. "Yes, that's good. Uncle then?"

He didn't answer her. He put the rest of the money into his pocket and bagged the items himself. He was on the way out the door when the lady called to him.

"What's her name?"

He almost stopped but kept going. That reminded him, what was her name? They had no way of knowing, she wasn't old enough to remember even if they did, so what were they going to name that little oddity that was now theirs?

David thought hard as he walked to the parking lot. Marko set up the seat on his bike for her to continue sleeping as they rode to the cave as fast as they could without drawing attention to themselves.

Dwayne and Paul were waiting for them when they arrived. The sun was getting to rise in about thirty minutes so they scrambled to haul everything into their safe haven before the sun would cast it's deadly rays and kill them all.

Once inside, they breathed easily. The light bulb flickered off, darkening the cave to a pitch black.

Marko situated the baby to sleep in the seat as the rest flew up into the rafters to sleep. Not a word passed between any of them.

Mostly, because they already knew.

David woke up early. Surprisingly, it wasn't because of the baby. The child hadn't made a single sound the entire day.

He dropped down to the ground next to the car seat. The baby didn't move, but instead kept sleeping as if nothing had happened.

The sun was setting, the only time during the day that he could actually see the sun. The rays were leaving, not coming, so it was safe for him.

One by one, the boys landed. Paul was last, like always to take his respective seat in their circle of chairs. The light flickered on as David sat in his wheel chair. Marko was holding the baby who was now awake and watching all of them with her wide rubies.

"Okay, it don't take a Einstein to figure out what Max said. He thinks that since we orphaned her, we should take responsibility for our actions and raise her ourselves." David informed them.

Paul laughed, "Is he nuts? We barely take care of ourselves! How can we raise a kids if we're supposed to be posing as kids ourselves?"

David shrugged and stood up to go to the door. Marko then asked, "What are we going to name her? She doesn't even have a name!"

He looked out the door. The sun was beautiful but he could never see it fully without it being the end of him. There was the moon, the stars, all the beautiful things in the world but not one name could he think of. There was just too many names in the world…

Then something caught his eye. Over in the weeds where the sea grass mixed with the gardens of people's back yards were a patch of roses. Inside was one white dot that his powerful vampire vision told him was a Lily. One Lily in a patch of roses.

"Lily." He announced firmly. "It's name will be Lily…"He looked up to the now black sky. "Lily Rose Black. Any other questions?"

Heads shook. They accepted it. She was going to be their latest addition. Dwayne took her from Marko and cooed, "Lily, Lily, Lily. Pretty Lily."

Lilly giggled happily. Paul looked over Dwayne's shoulder and smiled down at the child, now to be known as Lily.

"You know, of all the baby's that we could have orphaned, she sure is a happy one." He remarked as Lily reached out and took his thumb in her tiny hand.

Dwayne sniffed, "Her blood smells funny. I think she's hungry."

David pulled on his jacket to leave. "I am too. The formula's on the counter. I'm getting take out." He went to his bike and left them to deal.

He returned about an hour later with a couple boxes of rice, noodles, and Kung Pow Shrimp to hear the baby crying and the boys swearing at each other.

All over the small counter of their makeshift kitchen was formula powder. Marko was attempting to sooth Lily while Paul and Dwayne were trying to clean it up and make some for the baby.

David set the food on his chair. "I've been gone for an hour and you idiots couldn't figure out how to make a bottle of formula?!"

They flinched at his anger. Paul hung his head sheepishly, "Sorry, David. Either it was pudding or water. We couldn't get it right."

"Ah!" David threw his hands up in frustration. He took out the plastic cup divided in thirds. "Did you use this to measure?" They shook their heads simultaneously. He growled angrily, " Watch me because I'm not doing this again!"

He measure the powder into thirds and poured it into three bottles. Using bottles of water from the mini-fridge they had, he poured water into the bottles, and shook them up. He put two in the fridge and tossed the third to Marko.

"Ta da! It's like magic!" He flopped down in his chair with a fork and a carton of rice.

Lily ate from David's bottle hungrily. They all looked at him with wide eyes as if he had somehow preformed some sort of miracle of god.

He looked up at them staring at him. "What?"

Dwayne answered, "Dude! How did you know what to do?"

David shrugged nonchalantly, "I had a little sister, once."

They all instantly sat in their seats, leaning forward with their elbows on their knees. "Once?"

That was a subject that was very tender to David. He threw down the now empty carton. "She's gone now. Can we eat now or am I the only one?"
