Love pt.25

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

When it was all over, everyone got up. Leo groaned painfully and looked around. Niska was beside him.

"Are you ok?" Niska asked. Leo couldn't hear anything. He shook his head. "What's wrong?"

"Buzzing noise." Leo groaned.

Niska checked Leo over.

"You have a concussion." Niska said. Max and Joe came over.

"How bad?" Max wondered.

"It's a concussion."

Max helped Leo get up. They walked to the van. When they got outside, Leo groaned. He hissed when the tall grass touched his leg.

"What's wrong?" Max asked.

"My leg and my head hurts." Leo replied. Max put Leo in the van and looked at his leg. "Is it bad?"

"Not really. It's just fractured."

"It hurts so bad."

"Let's get you home."

They went home. When they went inside, Max and Niska treated Leo's leg. Mia came downstairs.

"How are they?" Leo asked.

"They're better." Mia answered.

"Max, help me walk to the bedroom."

Max and Leo went to Leo's room. Mattie was in bed holding Arabella. Leo sat down on the bed and kissed their foreheads. Mattie opened her eyes.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Leo asked.

"Better. What happened to you?" Mattie moaned.

"There was a bomb. The building collapsed and I have a concussion and fractured leg."

"Get cleaned up and then come to bed."

"Can I actually sleep?"

"Yes."

Leo got up and went to the bathroom. He got cleaned up and got changed. When he stumbled out of the bathroom, he saw Mia.

"Do you need help?" Mia asked.

"Yeah." Leo sighed. Mia helped Leo to bed. Leo laid down and took Arabella. He put her on his bare chest. He kissed her forehead. "Hey, sweetie."

Leo looked at Mattie who was resting.

"How do you feel?"Leo asked.

"Same as last time." Mattie replied.

"Both Mattie and Arabella are better." Mia explained.

"What did we have?"

"I do not know."

"I think I'm going to fall asleep with my new little girl." Leo mumbled.

"Only for a couple hours. You do have a concussion." Mia answered. Leo groaned angrily.

"I just want to sleep."

"You will."

Leo sighed and fell asleep. For the next few weeks, everyone recovered. Macy didn't let go of Niska. Everyone was downstairs when Karen came in.

"Leo, your uncle wants to talk to you." Karen said. Leo sighed and followed Karen. They went to the prison James was at. Leo went in to see him.

"What do you want?" Leo asked.

"To see my nephew. I've missed you." James lied.

"You missed raping me and torturing me."

"Maybe."

"No, there's no maybe about it. You ruined my life and my family's life."

"What family? It's just you and a bunch of synths."

"I'm married and have 3 kids. Niska has a daughter and there is more to our family."

"Your dad would be very angry."

"I don't care. Is there anything else?"

"No."

Leo walked out. He went home. Then he saw several synths at the house.

"Are you Leo Elster?" One of them asked. She had orange hair and darkish skin. She had a smile on her face.

"Yes." Leo replied. "What do you want?"

"To know our purpose. Your father started this."

"Come inside."

They went inside.

"Max, help them get settled in." Leo sighed as he went to Mattie. Mia went to him.

"Why are you doing this?" Mia wondered.

"They need a purpose."

"They need to be taught... raised."

"We can do it."

"How can we raise them? We've hardly lived ourselves. We're children."

"You might be a child but the rest of are not. I just want us all to live but first you have to be alive."

Leo went to Mattie and kissed her.

"How's your leg?" Mattie wondered.

"Hurts." Leo answered. Mattie saw Max talking and laughing with the female synth.

"Looks like Max has a new friend."

Leo looked at the two.

"Or his first girlfriend." Leo said. Mattie punched him.

"How would you know?" Mattie asked.

"Well, I am married."

"Flash, do you want to see something?" Max wondered.

"See what?" Flash answered.

"You'll see."

They went outside to the shed. They went in and saw a dog with its pups.

"She had the pups this morning." Max explained.

"They're adorable." Flash replied.

"Do you want to hold one?"

"Yes."

So Max helped Flash hold one of the puppies. Flash smiled and looked at Max.

"I love it." Flash said. An hour later, they went inside. Leo was holding Arabella near the window.

"How's Arabella?" Max asked.

"She's awake and she's happy." Leo whispered. Max went to him and smiled at Arabella.

"She's beautiful."

"Yeah, she is. Mattie's waking the twins up from their nap. Then I have to go give them their bath."

"You'll have to have a change of clothes."

"I know."

Then Arabella started crying. Leo kissed her forehead and Arabella calmed down. Then Mattie came down with Thalia crying.

"Leo, your daughter wants you." Mattie sighed. Leo handed Arabella to Max and took Thalia.

"Stop it, Thalia." Leo calmly said. Thalia stopped crying. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want bath." Thalia cried.

"Why? You like getting me all wet."

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

Thalia didn't answer.

"Let's go get you and your brother ready for a bath." Leo sighed. He kissed Thalia's forehead. He took Thalia upstairs and saw Thomas in the bathroom. He gave the twins a bath. When he was done, he helped them get dressed and took them downstairs. Mattie was holding Arabella when Leo sat down next to her and took Arabella.

"Hey, I was holding her." Mattie exclaimed.

"Well, I'm going to take a nap." Leo answered.

"Thalia can sleep on you."

"I want both of my girls."

"Then you'll get stuck with me and Thomas."

"Ok."

So all five slept on the couch. Everyone smiled at the five. Everyone started to adjust to a new life. They helped the conscious synths learn about their purpose in life. Flash found that she was good at teaching so she helped teach Sophie and Toby. Soon she started teaching Macy. Max and Flash fell in love. Ed and Mia got engaged a month later. Everyone was happy.
