Labor was a small price to pay for my child. With eyes like Alexander's, a deep blue with just a hint of brown. Brown curls and the sweetest smile anyone could have.
"Can I see the baby now?" I heard Eddie whisper, when Elizabeth walked out of the room.
Edward and Elizabeth had helped me in to their bedroom so that it would be more private when I was having the baby. I smiled, looking down at my sweet child's face.
Elizabeth poked her head back in to the room. "Can Eddie come and see the baby?"
I nodded. Eddie walked slowly in to the room, looking excited. "What's her name?" He wondered smiling brightly.
"Kathrine Renee." I told him as he stared lovingly at my baby girl.
"That's a pretty name." Eddie studied the baby then looked up at me confused. "She has...blue eyes but you have green."
I sighed. She had Alexander's eyes, his smile also. "Her father had blue eyes."
"Where is her father? I've never heard you talk about him..." Eddie looked a little nervous now.
This was most diffidently not something I wanted to talk about. I'm trying to keep Alex from my mind not have him brought up. Eddie seemed to pick up on this. For someone so young he was quite smart. He knew how to read people.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up."
I gave him a smile. "It's alright."
Four Years Later
Time passed quickly. It was like one minute I was holding Kathrine in my arms then the next she was walking. I would blink and she was already running. Eddie was growing up himself. He wasn't that cute little boy I use to know, he was almost a man. Kathrine and I became part of the Masen family. Family. I loved the sound of that. Family was something I lost but now I had a new loving family. That loving family dream ended all to soon.
"Mommy? I think there's something outside." Kathrine's sweet voice whispered late one night.
"Kathy, there's nothing out there. Just the wind." I told her rolling over in the bed we shared.
"No it's not." She said pulling the covers over her head.
I paused and listened. Kathy was right, something was outside. I could hear leaves being stepped on. Probably just some animal. I sighed and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Kathy wondered poking her head out just a bit.
"To look outside."
"No! It'll hurt you."
"Shh! You'll wake the others."
"But...but..."
I gave her a hug. "I'll be right back."
"Be careful." She whispered as I closed the bedroom door behind me.
I walked quietly though the house careful not to make any noise that might wake anyone else. I grabbed my coat from the rack next to the door and slid on my shoes. The cold night air sent a shiver down my spine. I walked around the house a few times but saw or heard nothing. I was just about to head back in when I felt as if someone was watching me. I looked in to the woods but saw no sign of anyone. I turned back to the front door and screamed. There was a tall, dark haired man standing in front of me. But that's not why I screamed, it was because of his eyes. They were...red!
"Don't be scared." He told me with a smile. Don't be scared? A man is standing in front of me with red eyes and I'm not suppose to be scared. What planet was with guy from?
