Chapter fourteen
Brandon's POV
"What is he doing here? He has caused no end of trouble and now you are letting him re-enter Morganville? Even after he followed your father's orders and almost destroyed us." I say to Amelie and as the sentence goes on, my voice gets louder and was almost at a shout by the time I finished.
"Brandon, will you please not raise your voice. It is rather unpleasant how you are going off. I expect better of you. François is but a guest here. He does not have my full trust but he is working to gain it. So I expect you to treat him with full respect" Amelie tells me and I was surprised when François stood up and came over to me.
"Brandon. I do not mean any harm to this town or to you. I am only here in the hopes of reconnecting to my family" he tells me firmly. I could tell he was being truthful about it so I nodded my acceptance.
"I was actually hoping that maybe me and you could have a little chat. I will reveal all, but first I need you to agree to accept a civil conversation with me" he says and I think long and hard about it. I then look to Amelie and she nods her head in approval so I reluctantly agree. I hope he has a good reason for this. Amelie then suggests that we have our conversation in her office so that she can be a witness. I was joyed at the suggestion and even François looked cheerful over it. We both took our seats then as we began what will most likely be a long talk. I only hope Sky and Tegan will be fine while I'm gone…
Sky's POV
I was enjoying a relaxing sleep when Tegan started crying. I swiftly pulled myself out of bed and went to check on her. When I got in I picked her up and cradled her. It was one of those I want a hug cries. I love how I can tell what my baby wants through her cries; it makes life so much easier and more interesting for that matter. I noticed that Brandon wasn't there when I woke up so I assumed he had gone to do some vamp work or something. But right now I really wasn't fussed seeing as Tegan was still crying. I decided right then and there that I will take her for a walk. I know it's night time but I had a patron so I was okay. Brandon wasn't just my lover; he was mine and Tegan's protector as well. So the vamps would feel twice the wrath if anything happened to me or Tegan.
I put her in her pram before putting a blanket over her and grabbing my coat and trainers (after I put some clothes on of course). I headed out into the night but I made sure to stay away from extra dark spaces and any alleys or abandoned buildings. I wasn't taking any chances while Tegan was with me.
Brandon's POV
"Brandon, I hear your Sky's partner" François points out and I could tell my expression was probably annoyed at the personal questioning.
"Yes, but I do not see how that concerns you" I tell him and he just smiles at me. That smile made me feel uncertain and three times more protective of her and our child.
"I am but her father, so I do believe that it is a concern of mine" he tells me and I can guarantee that my eyes probably enlarged with the shock and when I looked over to Amelie she nodded her head in agreement. So she knew who Sky's father was, but she never thought to tell Sky even after Sky spent the last few years trying to find him. How is she going to take this? In fact, why is he only just coming back into her life now?
