Chapter 4
Hi everyone, I know I took very long to update but school is done now! Let me know what you think of this chapter and I will have chapter 5 up in a few days!
Get ready now: this chapter will have tons of father and son bonding and cuteness
Previously... I remember he tried to smile at me. He definitely did not expect my transformation to occur so fast.
After Carslie cleaned up the messes I made, I developed a belly ache and felt like crying but could not. Carslie just put his hand to his head realizing I swallowed to much flowers.
He was very kind and examined my belly after lifting up the hospital gown I was still in. I remember distinctly he felt where my appendix would be thoroughly but there was no scar ast all. I asked him my first question why I could not cry. All he told me was I now cried in my heart. I absolutely wished to know more but fulley understand today why Carslie waited to tell me more. I still complained about my stomach and he made me something probably similar to medicine. I did not want to drink it since I felt so sick, cold and alone but he insisted and that was the first time he told me I was a good boy.
The next morning my tummy was feeling much better but Carslie examined it again smiling as I told him all the pain was gone. I beginning to like him. He was now wiser not to leave me home alone and took the day off. That morning he told me I would need to take a bath, he was worried I had germs on me from the hospital and since I wet myself the night before. I was hesitated to take one.
I was afraid I would hurt my belly again. When I told him he nodded understandingly and warmly told me he would help me. I really was quite nervous and my belly hurt a bit as Carslie got the water running in the bathtub. Despite knowing I heard his voice before, I never saw Carslie before.
I shook with fear as he called to me from the other room to take off my clothes. But then I thought about how he made my tummy better and was a very nice man. I cautiously decided to accept his help. I just felt connected to him. It was bizarre. But I just felt like it.
Esme watched Edward as she he looked into the dark mysterious forest. She could not tell how he was feeling and soon he continued.
"The bath did not go well. He thoroughly wahed my hands and feet and even cut my nails but when it came to washing my hair...Carslie got to much honey soap in my eyes and I started to growel at him. That was the first time I ever growled at my new father. However, he took it well and with a bucket poured clean water on my head. While he was hoping to help my eyes, they only ended burning more so I decided to jump up and run to where ever I could.
"Edward" he called in concern but with a sense of humor. Not making it far with soap still on me and all wet I slipped and fell hard to his concrete floor. I remember hitting my hip and I really wanted to cry. Upon hearing me fall, he rushed into the room but I was faster and I was in his yard with confusement, fear and I felt sick! I did not like him anymore.
I had my hand to my head and I was nearly hyperventilating as he came outside with a towel.
Edward grinned and said "I would have been so embarrassed if anyone was outside. Errr" he said hitting his head twice. Carslie calmly called me to come to him but I ran into the forest. I ran and ran and ran until I stubbed my toe on a twig and collapsed into the leaves. Probably it was only seconds later Carslie found me.
I was huffing and puffing since my big toe hurt so much. He immediately sat down next to me and gave me a hug which I accepted and put the towel on me.
I could barely move my toe and he took a look at it. He warmly patted my back and told me everything will be okay, more importantly that I will be okay. Thats when he extended his hand and I took it.
As the days passed things got no easier Carslie desperately tried to re-train me to use the bathroom so he would not have to clean up after me. But it was a slow process... absolutely. It took all of my new fathers energy. One time before my shower, I decided to go to the bathroom in Carslies kitchen sink. I remember him calling me that the bath is ready but I was still going when he came out to get me and nearly had a stroke!
"I was full of suprises Esme back then" chuckled Edward. Carslie took my face and made me look at the sink.
"That is something you will not do again Edward" he said pointing in the sink.
Understanding I did something very wrong, I for the first time told my father "I am sorry Carslie" I said quietly and he took a good look and me.
"Okay" he said in a lighter tone. "What will Edward never do again" he asked me as he crossed his arms.
"Goo, go, go in there" I said.
"You better not" said Carslie like he meant it!
Another problem was Carslie made me stay mostly indoors and I craved blood. One night Carslie had to stay so late he came home to find blood all over his house... My blood. I was sooooooooo,sooooooo thirsty and desperate, I actually bit my arm open and started to drink my blood but it was not enough so I bit off two of myfingers. I have never seen him that angry yet... I thought he would understand... I was so severely hungry. What I came to understand was at that point I was what could be compared to a toddler in a human child. I could understand simple commands but needed to be fed often. Since I was Carslies first vampire child I was the one who got to go through the first time parent experiences.
Remembering his reaction, Carslie grabbed me and quickly sewed up my arm and luckily found my fingers, stitching them back on. After applying a bandage he with his eyes fuming and steam coming out of his ears took my non-injured hand and I recall gave two sharp smacks on it telling me to NEVER do something like this again!
I just stared at him quivering in fear not comprehending what he meant.
As the days passed to weeks, Carslie learned he had to look after me better. There never was the same incidence again since he fed me more. He now came home at lunch to feed me as well as sit me on the toilet to make sure I would be fine till he got home. He as well no longer dared to leave me home late again. While Carslie was cautious about making sure I was always fed enough, a down side was he only let me outside at lunch time to play in the yard.
I probably only got 15 minutes at most to let my energy out and be a child. While I looked like a 17 year old, in my vampire age I was around 2-3 years old. There was much more for Carslie to learn about me.
Please Review and tell me if I should put up the next chapter!
