Melody's POV
After lunch, neither of us wanted to leave each other after lunch so we got in the car and headed to his house. We had some form of physical contact during the drive as we used our powers to see each others past. He was kind as he looked through my memories, not digging into anything personal. I did the same for him and on a few occasions, he showed me a personal memory.
He showed me the moment of his niece Louise being born, a private matter that would stay between the family. When I had thought that, I was told off. I was part of the family. The memory was wonderful and my heart warmed as the baby was passed to Uriel. He held her with so much care it was beyond belief.
We pulled up to the house and as I stepped from the car, I heard a small cry. Uriel jogged into the house in front off me, leaving me walking behind awkwardly. I closed the door behind me and stepped in to the kitchen. There were ten people in the room, some sitting and some standing. Okay, twelve including Uriel and the baby. Uriel turned to me, smiling with Louise in his arms.
"Say hello Louise" he said, walking over to me. He made the poor little girl wave her arm.
"Stop, she's only little!" I put her hand down, resting it on the pink clothing which was her dress. "She's beautiful."
"Thanks" a girl with shoulder-length brown hair smiled. "She's also a nightmare, I haven't gotten any sleep!"
"You should sleep when she does, otherwise you wont get any rest" I tell her.
"You a mum?" she asked, walking towards me.
"My mother died when I was eight and I was left to bring up a baby and a three year old" I shrugged.
"Wow, must have been tough. What about your dad?" a small blonde asked.
"Papa was always working, to get food" I replied. "I taught myself and used the money to send my brothers to school."
"That's so sweet!" the blonde smiled, holding a hand to her heart.
I shrugged, turning back to Louise. She had her tiny hand wrapped around Uriel's pinky. He spoke to the child softly, face close to her delicate ear. Her head moved as if trying to get closer to the voice. He'd make a great daddy... wait! What?! I had not just thought that, no. you might be soulfinder's but you don't fully know each other yet!
"Right! Introductions" Uriel said, handing Louise to her mother. "That's Trace and Di" - pointing towards a dark haired, tall and smiling man with a Egyptian looking woman by his side - "Will and Cassie" another dark haired man standing with a pretty long haired brunette. "Victor" a dark, brooding man who simply nodded. "Xavier and Crystal" the tallest guy smiling and another Egyptian looking, tall girl, also smiling. "Yves and Phee" a smart looking boy with glasses with a dark haired girl by his side, holding a book. "Zed, Sky's soulfinder" the first tall boy. "and that's my mum and dad, Karla and Saul." A middle-aged couple, smiling warmly at me. The man easily six-feet and dark haired. The woman was small, also dark hair and slightly bouncy.
"Nice to meet you all" I smiled.
Karla enveloped me in a hug, arms wrapping tightly around me. "Oh, we're been waiting a long time to meet you!"
"Yeah, its about time!" winked Crystal. "Told you that you had met her."
"What?" Xav asked, walking to stand next to her.
"Melody's my soulfinder, that's what she's on about" Uriel answered him.
"Oh! Well done!" Sky bounced, clapping her hands.
My cheeks warmed as so many eyes focused on me. Sky stood next to me, hands on my hair. Her hands stroked through it, telling me how soft and gorgeous it was. She told me how she wanted hair like mine, easy to manage. I sat at the table opposite her and Phee walked over to me. Without saying a word, she handed her daughter to me. I tool Louise willingly, smiling down at her. I made little faces and noises at her, receiving small gummy smiles.
"She likes you" Phee smiled, "you in her favourite pile."
"Like me!" Uriel shouted, poking his head into the fridge.
"Uri! You not long had lunch" I said, sighing as I watched his stuff a sausage roll in his mouth.
"I'm a growing boy" he protested.
"Your twenty-seven" I told him.
"Not the point!" he pointed a finger at me.
"I'm surprised Di isn't in Louise's favourite pile" Crystal said as she sat beside me.
"Yeah" Diamond said, folding her arms.
"Maybe your in her super favourite pile" I smiled which made us all laugh.
