Chapter ten
Brandon's POV
2 weeks later…
I was sat downstairs reading a magazine when I heard the distinct crying of my daughter. I throw the magazine onto the table as I sprint up the stairs; in the hope that Sky hadn't already woke up. she hadn't slept much since Tegan's birth, so I've persuaded her to sleep tonight and that I can deal with the night shifts. Which was easy enough seeing as I was a vampire and I rarely needed sleep, plus I am a creature of the night. I walk into the nursery and see that Sky is in fact already up and tending to her. I frown at her as I walk over and gently take Tegan away from her.
"You're supposed to be sleeping. I told you I could handle the night shift" I point out and she just frowns at me. I give her a stern look and she glares at me. Just as she was about to go I stopped her.
"I love you" I told her before kissing her. When we moved apart she was smiling happily as she practically skipped back to bed.
"Should we go for a stroll?" I ask Tegan and she just tries to put her hand in her mouth. I chuckle slightly at her as I get her dressed into some warmer clothes. Once I had her dressed I put her in her pram and put a blanket on her. I didn't want her getting cold. The only reason I was going to take her for a walk was because she loves them and it helps her sleep better. We walked out and I gently pushed the pram along the streets as we went. I was actually quite enjoying myself when Amelie and Oliver spotted us and made their way over.
"Is this the new arrival then?" Oliver asks as he looks down at Tegan who is just drifting off to sleep. I nod my head in reply and I watch as Amelie smiles down on my baby and Oliver even has a hint of a smile on his face.
"What have you decided on calling her?" he asks me as he glances up to look at me.
"Tegan" I inform him and once again I notice that hint of a smile.
"Beautiful name" he compliments and Amelie agrees.
"She really is precious. You make sure you look after her, and Sky for that matter. Sky's father would be rather displeased if he knew you weren't looking after her" Amelie tells me and I give her a funny look. How does she know who Sky's father is? Even Sky doesn't know who her father is; he apparently left when she was born.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything." She says and before I could ask her questions she quickly says her good-byes and her and Oliver head off. What was all that about?
Amelie's POV
I shouldn't have said anything. Sometimes my thoughts just slip out without any consent from me. It is a rather terrible habit that I wish I could overcome. Sky did not know her father because when she was born, he was called away by my father and therefore left poor Sky fatherless. I have seen him recently and he has finally managed to pull himself together and return to the more decent vampires. The good ones, if I may say so. He was rather upset that he couldn't be there for Sky, but I made sure she was well kept for as a child, especially when her mother had an emotional breakdown. I do not know whether he knows of Tegan yet. I do plan on telling him next time I see him, whether he knows or not. He would probably love the news of him having a grandchild. I can only hope that he doesn't do anything stupid once he finds out…
Brandon's POV
Just as Tegan had fallen asleep, I was stopped again by Viktor and Sebastian. I instantly followed my instincts and made it clear that I didn't want them near Tegan. I was afraid that her blood might lure them into biting her. If they ever did anything like that to her, I would kill them. I would rip them apart limb by limb until they were dead and had no chance at survival.
"Oh, Brandon. Do give over, we can control ourselves. We aren't animals and anyway, we would love to meet your daughter" Viktor states as he comes straight up to the pram and looks down on Tegan.
"She is rather cute. Children always do make me wonder, especially this one. She seems to be different to most babies, but I can't seem to put my finger on it" Sebastian says and I just roll my eyes.
"Maybe it's because Tegan is a vampire's child and not a humans" I point out and they both just chuckle.
"But Brandon, she is a human child as well as a vampire's. Or have you forgotten that the mother is human. Speaking of the mother…. When do we actually get to meet this wonderful creature who gave birth to this darling child" Viktor asks and I tell him that he can meet her eventually. When I say eventually, I mean when I find it safe and when I feel it appropriate. Which would be never in my opinion, but Sky is always so keen on meeting my colleagues.
