Angler chapter 26 got to be real by Cheryl Lynn.
Out of fear Amun took several steps back along with his mate Kebi. They both stopped right by the edge of the staircases because Kebi notice and stopped walking back before they both fell down them. "what the hell is that?". Amun asked pointing at Louie. his voice filled with fear and anger.
"Amun old friend it's alright….". Carlisle tried to reason with him but was cut off.
"again you all did it again… you made another hybrid, didn't you".
"Amun it's not like that…."
"you gave the volturi yet another season to come after everyone".
"Amun…"
"what is it with your family Carlisle? Why must you all constantly get involved with the volturi in the worst ways possible".
The baby started to cry. He didn't like when the adults would get mad with one another. He hated how loud it would get, he hated the way their faces would change.
"Amun please, just listen to what we have to say…."
Benjamin, Tia where leaving". He and Kebi stared to walked down the stairs when he realized that his coven mates wasn't following him. There they stood at the top of the stairs looking down at him. He walked back up to them. "I said where going".
"Amun where not going". Benjamin said it calmly.
The silence was heavy.
Amun stared at his adopted son feeling both shock and confusion. 'why is he doing this to me?. Haven't I been good to him'. He started to get angry now. he really couldn't figure out why Benjamin was being so calm about there being another hybrid. He knew that his son had grown close to Nessie but still why would he be so cavalier about there being yet another one…. Until it hit him. He inhaled deeply and took a step towards him. "you knew didn't you!?. and that's why where really hear isn't it. This wasn't just some surprise visit, you lied to me".
"that isn't true".
"no… how, how is it not true?".
"because it was a surprise visit…surprise!". Benjamin said brightly, he knew that the older man wouldn't be able to fine the rumor in it but he thought he's give it a shot. He and Tia both smiled nervously waiting for the storm to hit. Even though they weren't afraid of Amun that didn't mean they wanted to deal with his fiery temper. Even Kebi wouldn't be in a room with him when he lost it. "we knew if we had told you the real reason for coming, you wouldn't of".
"so you did lie to me".
"Amun it was Carlisle and I". Esme jumped in. "we were the ones who told Benjamin about Louie. We told him that it would be best if you weren't told until you got here".
"see Amun, you don't have to get mad at Benjamin, you can be mad at us if you'd like…."
"Carlisle..". Demetri spoke for the first time since the arrival of the Egyptian coven. he wasn't looking at anyone, he kept his eyes down on the floor as he talked. He wasn't sure if he was angry or not, he was but he figured the reason for not feeling it right away was because he was in so much shock from it all. "so where all on the same page… how many more visitors should we be expecting?. Just so I know how angry to be in the future?". He didn't say it like he was mad, more like he was annoyed. Like he was a teenager that was just told by his parents he had to go to bed.
"no Demetri, no one else knows about you and the baby…".
"wait..". Amun said. "it's yours…. You are the father of that child". that was the first thing Amun had said to Demetri in years.
He took in a deep breath and spoke. "yes….. he's mine". They both heavily stared at one another again.
"Benjamin". Nessie said running up to him. She jumped into his arms and he lifted her up.
"Renesmee how nice it is to see you again". he smiled at the little girl. He was happy to see her again, he had built up a friendship with her while they were in forks those few mouth ago.
"when did you do this…. And does Aro know?". he didn't know if he wanted to sound angry or upset by this. But he knew that what ever he said, and however he said it…. it wouldn't sound happy.
"Aro doesn't no.. not yet…".
"not yet…. So you will be telling him".
"yes, I don't want him thinking that….."
"that what?. That you've deserved him by impregnating a human?". He said angrily.
"but I haven't….. she's isn't human, she's a shifter. I'm his father and Leah's his mother". Demetri moved back so that he was now next to her and not in front of her.
Amun could only stare. 'what am I seeing here, because it couldn't be, there's no way. Bella and Edward's kid is one thing but this'. He moved back even farther away at the realization of what this baby meant. "that child….. there will be no getting away from Aro once he finds out". He grabbed his mates hand and was out of the house in seconds.
"Amun" Benjamin called after him.
At this point Louie had stopped crying.
"I'll go, we'll talk some sense in to him". Carlisle and Esme ran off after him. Which left everybody just standing there, not knowing what to say.
"Benjamin. Tia you gotta meet the baby". Nessie jumped down from being held by Benjamin. She took his hand and started to pull him towards Demetri, Leah and Louie.
Demetri and Leah froze.
Though no know else seemed to be disgruntled by the new coven they were still strangers the them. and wasn't sure if Louie being around others would be so safe.
Bella and Edward both noticed their hastiness and intervened. "Ness hon maybe let's take it a little slower okay. we wouldn't want to overwhelm the baby".
"but he isn't crying anymore…. and they haven't meet him yet".
"well guys she's got you there". Emmet said smirking, finding this all very humours. His wife nudged him in the ribs causing him to grunt in discomfort.
Louie started to squeal having needing to be changed. "I have to go change him". the she wolf went to go into another room. "I'll come with you". Demetri still didn't look at anybody when he walked off after his mate. It wasn't that he didn't want to be rude but he was blindsided by this. He needed to discuss this with Leah before more people got involved in his sons life.
The bedroom
Leah placed him down onto the bed and open the nappy bag. Demetri sat down next to Louie on the bed as Leah started to change him.
"I can't believe they want behind our backs like that…. what made them think….".
"I don't know vaniglia… I guess they weren't".
"I'm so mad…. Aren't you?". she felt fed up by this. 'how could they do this without asking us if we were okay with this. Why did they do this at all". "what made them think it was okay to invite people that we didn't know into our lives…. And why are you so calm about this".
"I wanna say Jasper….. but well… I don't really know. from what I've heard about this Benjamin is that he isn't a bed person. Edward told me that he was generous and caring and that he had an strong sense of right and wrong….
"so were just meant to trust them?". she said annoyed.
"I didn't say that…".
"then what were you trying to say then?".
"just that maybe we shouldn't get ourselves to panicked over something that may not be too big of an issue".
"but….".
"I'm just as wary as you are la mio goccia di pioggia… and I'm not saying that I completely trust them, we don't know them. but I do trust Carlisle…. And let's face it he wouldn't do something to put Louie in danger. If he wanted to then he would of want to Aro".
Leah though still entrusting of this but did start to see where Demetri was coming from. 'well I guess it doesn't make much sense for Dr. vamp and mama vamp to betray us like this out of the blue'. "so then what do we do?. How comfortable are we with them meeting him?.".
"well they may as well…. Their already here".
Leah got up and throw Louie dirty nappy in the bin. "I don't know… what do you think little B?". she asked her son as if she was tired.
The family room
Just after Demetri and Leah dispersed with the baby Edward turned to Benjamin and Tia. "don't take that personally, they just weren't expecting the visit… none of us were". He smiled
"don't worry we don't. we weren't expecting a warm fuzzy welcoming. The truth was we didn't know what to expect so the way so gone so far is actually quit the pleasant surprise from what we were imagining".
The two man walked towards one another and shook hands. Bella and Tia gave a quick hug and it continue that way for the rest of them. "so what is he like?". Ben asked.
"who Demetri or Louie?". Emmet asked still smirking.
"both".
"well Louie is an little cherub and Demetri is not". Rosalia answered.
"rose". Alice smirked at her mirroring Emmet's. "Demetri isn't that bad, he's just very protective of them. he'll be fine with you being here and once he comes out you'll meet your nephew".
Benjamin and Tia looked at each other. "but we thought that you couldn't see past shifters?".
"and isn't the baby a shifter?". Tia asked.
"oh I wasn't seeing them, I was seeing your reaction later on tonight after all the wolfs have left. You'll both be very taken them him".
"that's only if they decide to let you near Louie". Jasper said. "please don't be takin' this the wrong way now, but…. I could feel what they were feeling the moment they realized somebody else was in our home. They're just… kinda stand offish. It's better now, I can feel it. they're not as… hostile shall we say".
"and now?". asked Bella.
"they'll be more forthcoming now. they just needed a moment to collect themselves. Introducing a new comer into their child life isn't a small thing for them. especially because of what he is, their trying to be carious".
"we understand that". the couple smiled at each other. "so… what has it been like… having a baby shape-shifter, vampire hybrid about?". He asked.
"Nessie loves him", Alice answered. "she was always asking about Leah and the baby when they weren't around…".
"and then they were around our little niece hogged him all up". Rosalia said jokingly and tickling her niece.
"he has a set of lungs on him when he's hungry, I'll tell you that. well that and he enjoys laughing, even when you don't have a clue what so funny". Emmet smiled a cheesy smile.
"you tripped and fell over the sofa and onto the floor". Jasper tired not to laugh.
Nine days earlier
Nine days earlier during another one of their appointments with Dr. Cullen. Demetri and Leah were in with him, Carlisle was writing down new things that had happened in the last few days since they had left. He was mainly focusing on Demetri's new shifting ability and how he had been going with that. the scientist in him couldn't get enough of they were going through. It wasn't that he was happy about how hard for them it all was, but to him this was one of the most incredible events to ever happen. The information he was leaning was almost overwhelming to him, he was simply amazed.
So while they were in with Carlisle the other Cullen's were interning Louie. "has he gotten smaller?". Because he seems smaller". They were all standing over him. Nessie, Edward and belle were at their house and Jacob and Seth were on guarding duty. Sue was at the hospital, which left the two light haired Cullen's, and the two dark haired Cullen's to look after the baby. For the last few minutes since Demetri and Leah had left their son with them, they'd been trying to make him laugh.
"no Emmet little B hasn't gotten smaller".
"I don't know rose, he does seem to be more….dwarfish. since the last time we saw him". Jasper replied.
"that's only because by this time Nessie was three times his size. Besides I like his little pygmy size". Alice tapped the end of Louie's nose. Rosalia started to graze his cheek with the side of her finger.
"now what should we do with you while your mummy and daddy are busy ha. Should we tickle you or should we raspberry you would that make to giggle for me, would it". Rosalia wouldn't admit it because of her dislike for the she wolf, who had an mutual dislike for the blond. But she loved it when she came over with the baby. She thought that Louie was the sweetest little thing, she could of sat with him for ours. So before Nessie would come over the blond vampire would get all of her hugs in before the little vampire could still him.
While the vampire were trying to decide what to do with him, Louie was making spit bubbles with his mouth. And making little noises while he was doing it.
"or we could pop him in front of the T.V and hope that he falls asleep". Jasper liked the little fella, but Louie was always having different emotions. Being a baby he wasn't always sure what was going on around him. So he was always feeling different things, Which made it easy for Jasper, that's why he wanted him to laugh, so he'd have at last one emotion what he could deal with.
"were not just doing that". Alice shook he head at her mate with an grin.
"what are we meant to do with him now?. do we like…. Read to him or something?". Emmet was more uncomfortable then the other about being around babies. Nessie was easy, she grow fast so within a few months he could play ball with for, or Xbox. But he didn't know how to hang out with an baby. It wasn't like he could talk to tell the beefy vampire what he wanted him to do.
"if you wanted to…".
"nah I'm good". He put his hands up and moved back, but he didn't realize that the sofa was that close behind him. And by the time he did.. it was too late. He crashed in to the back of it and tumbled over the edge. He rolled on the cushions and fell smack down on to the floor. The others didn't say anything for a moment because of them not seeing that coming. Then the laughter of a shrimpy little man filled the room.
Nine days later
"you fell over the couch?". Benjamin laughed. He didn't want to say it out loud but he could see that happening to the beefy vampire. He just seemed like one of those big clumsy guys who could get in to all sorts of trouble with just his feet.
A tight lipped Emmet was trying not to smirk at his own stupidly. "I don't want to talked about it". Jasper quietly started to laugh to himself As his brother turned away from the group.
"he's growling slower then Nessie was. More of the rate of an normal human baby, then an hybrid", Bella put in. still feeling a little bitter about that.
"how else does he differ from Nessie?". He asked.
"well right now he isn't showing any sign of what his gift will be, but we do know he had one….". the mind reader answered.
"how?".
"when Leah was pregnant with him she could have visions like Alice. He would give them to her But Louie could see the wolfs and Alice can't see past them….".
"because he's a wolf too?. Would that be why". Benjamin asked with wide eyes.
"more than likely, it also seems like he can communicate, He could with Nessie…."
Jacob jumped in and cut off the mind reader. " when Ness would come over she'd sit with Leah for hours talking to Louie…. We'd call them play dates. he'd tell her things, he told her when Sam and his pack where coming and another time he's tell Ness to asked Leah and Demetri things, things that he had heard but did know the details of".
Benjamin and Tia were speechless. They both knew that it was common for baby's to be able to hare thing while inside the womb. But having so much understanding of that to be able to asked questions it really something. "what else?".
"well at some point Demetri must have been telling her about Italy because he wanted to know about Felix…. He even while talking to Ness referred to him as uncle Felix".
"would we call him uncle". Seth was still sore about that. he didn't trust the volturi, any of them. the only reason he was trusting Demetri about of the whole imprint thing. But even if the tracker vouched for the mountain like vampire. To Seth he would still always be a royal leech, 'plus if he dropped Louie that would be like a five minute fall". He thought. So he despised that fact that he'd have to share the title of uncle with a cold blooded killer. 'pa stupid giant'.
Just as Benjamin was gonna keep asking questions everybody in the room heard a noise coming from down the hallway. They hadn't made it to the end of the hall yet because they were walking a little slower the they'd normally do, but the little family was making their way back into the living room.
"why don't we give you some space". Alice said getting up. She grabbed a hold of Jasper's hand and pulled him away from the wall he was leaning on. Roselia followed suit, but she got to the stairs when she realized that her husband wasn't behind her. "Emmet". She whispered angrily.
"but I love family reunions". He had an sly smile.
"now".
He fake pouted. "fine". In seconds the couple was outside with the other two.
"Bella why don't you take Ness outside with the other and I'll stay back to….. introduce everybody". Bella nodded and beckoned for her daughter to come to her. Seth and Jacob stayed behind as well. Not that they believed that Benjamin and Tia would want to hurt them. it was just so that if Leah and Demetri ended up feeling unsettled, they'd be there to hopefully calm them down. But once again that was only an if.
Slowly the little family came from around the corner, Benjamin and Tai stood up a little straighter. Once they'd stepped into the living room there was a an awkward silence, while the two new comers gazed at the little shifter family, the little shifter family weren't looking directly at them. Demetri looked to Edward who stepped ford.
"Demetri, Leah this is Benjamin and Tia, as you already know there from the your old coven…. And they've here because they wanted to meet you". the mind reader paused for a moment then letting that already known information sink in. "they had heard from Carlisle and Esme that you were here and they Benjamin wanted to finally meet the brother he'd heard so much about through the years. And he wanted to meet his nephew as well… along with Leah of course".
Benjamin stepped ford now, he had an friendly face and a kind smile. "I apologies for us coming here without any warning. We never meant to make you uncomfortable..". Benjamin's gaze found its way around the tracker and on to the she wolf. "and you neither, that wasn't our intention, I know that you both probably feel quit blindsided by our arrival. But for years all I've heard was a how gifted you were and how close you and Amun were, he never says it out loud by I believe he misses you a great deal. I've wanted to meet you for the longest time, and when I heard about your being there I knew that I had to jump at the chance. Being as it may of have been the only time I could".
Demetri watched him, he wasn't expecting to like the brother he'd never meet so earlier off the bat. 'I don't know, maybe it's the fact that he's my brother, that we were turned by the same man. Or the way he's spoken and presented himself. he just carries a vibe that I can't really explain. The way he'd looked at my son, he wasn't looking at him with judgement or fear. It was more of an childlike fascination. Not like Louie was an animal in a zoo or anything. It was almost like he… he cared'.
Demetri turned to Leah.
'okay so from what he's said so far, seems like he really does come in peace. of course I'm not over the moon about even more bloodsuckers in my baby life. It's bad enough that nine of them of them know about him already. But I guess we couldn't hid him forever. And at least those bloodsuckers are…. Family in a way…. I guess'.
They didn't end up needed words.
Demetri took a step ford like how Benjamin did and stuck out his hand. "it a pleasure to meet you".
Benjamin beamed and grabbed his hand, giving it a firm shake. " it really is so nice to meet after so long.." he turned to his mate "this is my mate Tia". He said motioning to her.
"pleasure". Demetri kissed her hand then moved aside so he wasn't blocking Leah from them. "this is my mate and son Leah and Louie…. And I'm assuming that you've meet Jacob and Seth before".
Benjamin put his hand on her shoulder, but only for a moment to greet her. Because of her holding Louie she couldn't shack anyone's hand's… which she was grateful for. she may have been around vampires even more now but that still didn't mean unless she had an baby with one of them, that she wanted to touch them. "it's nice to meet you Leah". he said with his warm smile. Tai did the same thing. She gave Leah an nod and a kind smile, them the couple turned their attention to the little guy who made an squeaking sound, gaining all there attentions. They gazed down at him in amazement. "hello Louie I'm your uncle… I'm you uncle Benjamin. And this is you auntie Tia". Louie giggled at the new pare who to him had come out of nowhere. He hadn't seen them before, his tiny mind thought they seemed funny. Tia started to tickle his cheeks. While Benjamin placed one of his finger inside Louie little palm. When Louie felt something go into his hand his first reaction was to chew on it. He smile up at his uncle and then with his teeny hand grabbed a tighter hold of his finger uncles finger and pulled it up to his mouth and stated to chew on it.
Benjamin laughed at what was happening. Of course Louie didn't have any teeth yet, so it wasn't like it was hurting him. He just never thought that he'd be once again standing in the Cullen's home with another hybrid, but this time an baby. The baby of his brother.. his brother he'd only never heard of. holding an nephew he didn't think was possible, who was trying to chew on his finger.
"Louie". Leah quickly said. "we do not chew on other people". She said trying not to smirk.
All he did in response with giggle. He started to slobber on Benjamin's finger… but he didn't mind. "oh it's okay…he isn't hurting me". He said smiling brightly.
This went on for quit and few minutes until Louie started to get hungry. He small belly started to growl, he stopped chewing on his uncles finger and looked down at his tummy. He then looked up his mummy and pouted. "he's hungry".
Louie seemed to forget about the grownups and slowly started to whale. He pushed Ben's finger away and stared cry louder. "don't worry unless I have a bottle with me when he's hungry, he doesn't want anything to do with me". Both man laughed. "here I'll take him if you wanna get him his bottle". Demetri took the baby from his mate while she want to fix him a bottle.
"why don't we move this to the couch". He said.
Once seated Edward and the other two came over. "so how have you guys been, you know since the last time you lot were here?". Jacob asked.
"we been fine thanks. Not much had happened since the last time we saw one another. Once we got back life want on as usual… but Tia and I always had plans to come back here…. and you how have all you been?".
This time Edward answered. "everything's been fine here. we have been looking over our shoulders ever now and again, but Alice hasn't seen anything so we should be safe.."
Leah walked back in with a bottle and sat down next to Demetri. Before they started to feed him the tracker had an thought. He looked up at Benjamin and Tia for a long moment. "would you like to do it?".
They both looked taken aback, along with Leah how hadn't expected her imprint to offer that. "really… feed him".
"if you don't won't to you don't have to…."
"no I'd like to…. Very much, we'd like to… very much". Benjamin grabbed a hold of Tia's hand for a moment then let it go. Demetri looked at Leah again and she gave him the nod to say okay. Demetri and Leah got up and want over to Benjamin. Louie let out an unhappy scream, he didn't like his bottle being taken away from him when he was hungry. Demetri crouched down in front of Benjamin and carefully handed his nephew to him. "how do I have…."
"just like this". Demetri showed him how to hold Louie correctly. "and then just support his neck". Benjamin did as Demetri told him and sat back into the couch. Leah handed Tia the bottle and they both sat back down across from them. Tia lifted up the bottle and put it in his mouth. Louie happily sucked away no longer upset.
"I'm gonna go be with Bella and Renesmee". Edward nodded at them and walked out. "I think we'll go with him". Jacob lightly grabbed a hold of Seth's arm and made their way across the room and out the door.
There was an nice sense of peace in the room now. on one talk… on one ended to. Benjamin and Tia were to engrossed in the baby to really focus on anything else. They both lovely watch their nephew have his lunch making small sucking sounds as he eat.
Leah watch them around her son. 'so yeah I think we can trust them Demetri's family or not, we've only known them for ten minutes. Plus after the way my ex pack reacted to my baby I'm not really in the mind set to trust so easily now a days'. But Leah also watch the way they looked at Louie. Deep down she knew that she could trust them. but she wasn't gonna let herself come in to that realization so easily. She was a mama bare after all and Louie was her cub.
"he's so calm around us". Benjamin said beaming. "is he usually this content around others?".
"he loves the attention…..".
"the more people the better". Leah added.
"he's never panicked when we've let someone hold him before. He's very….. trusting around others, though there hasn't been many he never been timid". Demetri finished
"he's a hungry one isn't he". Tia spoke with a little laugh.
"if you think he's hungry now you should see him in the mornings. There been a couple of days where one of us would be changing him and he'll scream and kick at us until we've finished, then calm right down the moment he sees his bottle and knows what's gonna happen". Leah and Tia both laughed at that. not loudly though.
"do you like making trouble do you". Benjamin grinned down at the baby. "he's getting to the end of it".
"Once he finishes just give him to one of us and we'll burp him, because you might get some spit up on you". Demetri spoke.
Once Louie had finished they handed him back to his parents. Benjamin didn't want to though. He wanted to keep on hold his teeny nephew but he knew that he ended to pass him back. 'I didn't wanna stop holding him. He was the most well nurtured the little person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I could of held on to him forever. He just had this aroma, I don't know maybe it was because he was a baby, maybe it was because he was my nephew. It even could have been that he was the first baby I'd ever held before. But there was this feeling of being at peace you got when holding him'.
Demetri was the one who burped him then he handed the baby to Leah. just as she was getting him settled again he started to cry. "what's wrong honey?". She asked. Louie slightly shifted his tiny head over to looked at his aunt and uncle, and reach out to them. "well I think he wants you back". Leah handed the baby back to them.
Later.
Louie had fallen asleep in Tia arms. Benjamin had given the baby to his mate to hold and after several moments his eyelids started to droop and in minutes he shut his eyes and dozed off. After about an hour all the others had come back into the house. Carlisle and Esme still hadn't made it back from running after Amun and Kebi. Benjamin and Tia didn't pay any mind to that though, they didn't want to think about what would happen they their pack mate made their way back to the home of their friends. All they hope was that Amun wouldn't try to force them to come home, Ben wasn't ready to do that. he had just found his brother, he was just getting to know him and his family. He and Tia wanted to be in their life's no matter what Amun wanted, it wasn't fair if he tried to stop them. to them coven leader or not, they would not give Amun that right.
Nessie was sitting next to Tia, the little girl was telling the older girl about all the thing she and the baby talked about. Benjamin had moved over to Demetri and Leah and was talking with them, he was asking all sorts of thing. Things like, what had it been like living with the volturi?, what's it like being an shape-shifter?. Benjamin hadn't been told yet about that Demetri could now phase. The little family wanted to keep that under wraps for a while, because if the supernatural world found out about that they'd come from all corners. It wasn't that they didn't trust them, it just wasn't something they wanted to put on them just yet. Demetri decided that it's best if they got used to the thought of the baby before they throw in Demetri now being able to turn into a red wolf. He thought that, that would be a bit too much to take in for them right now. and all the other were talking amongst themselves.
So no one paid any attention to the footsteps coming up to the second story floor. Carlisle and his wife made their way into the room, most of the Cullen's noticed and turned to looked at them. Demetri looked up just as Amun saw coming up the staircase. He didn't make it up all the way though, he stopped walked when he saw Demetri, he wasn't fully up the stairs yet so the tracker could only see the top half of his body.
"everybody a decision has been made". It felt like the room lent ford waiting for the good doctor to finish what he was saying. "well it looks like we'll be having some house guest". He smiled, happy that he was able to convince his friend to not run away from this. "Demetri could you follow me to my office".
"ooohhhh".
"Emmet shush". Esme said looking at her son pointedly.
Demetri want quiet for a second then got up, followed behind Carlisle with Amun on their trail.
Carlisle's office
Demetri stood on one side of the room and Amun his ex-coven mate and friend on the other. The doctor was in the middle leaning on his office desk. "Demetri as you've probably figured out… I've convinced Amun to stay". The two still hadn't looked at each other since entering the office. "I've also convinced Amun and his coven to stay here until they decide to go…. Which isn't going to be an problem. Because where happy to let them be here for as long as they'd like". Demetri slowly gazed up at Amun. "so why don't I leave you too along". He walked to the door then turned back. "I'll be with the other in the living if you need me". By that he meant if he heard yelling he'd come back in and be the mediator. He shut the door behind him. Which then left the two of them alone both just staring at each other.
"so….. it's…been a long time". Demetri tried to sound normal… but it wasn't completely working. He didn't want to seem nervous around the man how taught him so much so long ago. Amun was his mentor, his friend. Demetri couldn't remember his much of his human life, so Amun for the tracker took the roll of father figure. And now he stood before him not knowing what to say.
"yes… yes it had". His face was blank like stone.
"so I have a son". 'why would you start with that, you could of said anything and you want with that. I have a son…. I have a son. What is he meant to say to that'. he thought.
"yes… I saw". His face was still blank.
"how have you been?". 'okay good start of simple'.
"Demetri… why are you asking me those questions?". he this time said with an stern expression. He didn't see the point in making this small talk when nether of them really knew what to say. They both know that neither of them wanted to have a conversation about how they both been, or the weather, or if they should go for lunch sometime. No they wasn't gonna do that.
"what do we say to each other then?. Ha… it's been years Amun….".
"and who's fault is that". he snapped.
The tracker want quiet but only for an moment. "You knew that once Chelsea used her girt on me that I wouldn't of had a choice….".
"and then after you realized that.. ha… what did you do…. You stayed".
Demetri took an long pause. He didn't want to admit to Amun that he stayed because he wanted to. But by the time he realized that he was had been powered by Chelsea he had already became close to Felix. And he quit enjoyed his rank on the guard. Before Aro had recited him he had been already know as a great tracker. And that was all thanks to Amun. But after being with the volturi he then was known as the greatest tracker in the world…. And he loved it. "… FINE! YES I STAYED….. I STAYED WITH THEM….".
That's when the shouting started.
"RIGHT.. YOU STAYED THEN THAT WAS IT WASN'T IT. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I'D HEARD FROM YOU… AS SOON AS YOU FOUND SOMETHING BETTER THAT WAS IT, YOU WERE GONE AND YOU WEREN'T COMING BACK. DID YOU EVEN WANT TO DEMETRI…". there was a pause on the trackers end. "WELL DEMETRI?. THE BOY WHO I TOOK CARE OF FOR YEAHS ON END DID YOU WANT TO.. HA.. DID YOU EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING BACK TO US?"
"…FINE YOU WIN AMUN YOU WIN YOUR RIGHT I DIDN'T COME BACK I DIDN'T WON'T TO COME BACK BECAUSE I WAS HAPPY THERE..".
"OF COURSE YOU WHERE HAPPY THERE WEREN'T YOU… HAPPY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RUIN MY LIFE ALL THOSE YEAHS AGO..".
"RUINED YOUR LIFE, SO THE HUMANS DON'T BEND THEIR KNEES TO YOU ANYMORE AMUN I'M SO SORRY THAT YOUR FEELING NEGLECTED…"
"SHUT UP… I TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YOU KNOW YOU UNGRATEFUL…".
"WHAT AMUN UNGRATEFUL WHAT..".
"BRAT YOU'RE AN BRAT YOU'RE AN UNGRATEFUL BRAT. ONE DAY YOU WERE THERE AND THE NEXT YOU WERE GONE.."
"WELL I'M SORRY AMUN...I'M SORRY THAT YOUR FEELINGS GOT HURT. YOU DIDN'T EXACTLY REACH OUT TO ME EITHER DID YOU….".
The two man had gotten closer to each other now. almost touching noses but nether men had noticed, they were both too busy losing it at each other.
"I SHOULDN'T OF HAD TO. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO FELT. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO JUMPED SHIP THE MOMENT MY BACK WAS TURNED…".
"ONCE AGAIN IT WAS CHEL….".
"CHELSEA YES I'M AWARE, BUT IT ALL HAPPENED AWFULLY QUICK DIDN'T IT. HOW LONG WERE THEY WITH US FOR HA. A DAY, HALF A DAY, EIGHT MINUTES".
"YOU DAMN WELL KNOW THAT…"
"I DAMN WELL KNOW WHAT?".
"HOW WAS MY BEING MIND CONTROLLED MY FAULT. I DIDN'T ASKED FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. I DIDN'T ASKED FOR ARO TO COME… AND I SURE AS SHIT WASN'T THE ONE GOING AROUND TELLING EVERYBODY ABOUT MYSELF…".
"BRAT..".
"YES AMUN I'M A BRAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT ALREADY".
"UNGRATEFUL SHIT…".
"YEAH GO ON JUST KEEP CALLING ME NAME YOU STUPID JACKASS".
"I CARED ABOUT YOU AND YOU WENT WITH THEM WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. IT WAS JUST SO EASY FOR YOU WASN'T IT DEMETRI. IT WOULDN'T OF BEEN AS EASY IF YOU HAD GIVEN A DAMN ABOUT ME.."
The both men glared at each other. Neither of them realized that the doctor had come back into the room. Everyone in the living room could hear the two of them screaming at each other so Carlisle decided to rush in and mediate. Luckily for them the baby hadn't woken up, he was still fast asleep in Tia arms all snuggled into her.
"gentleman". The doctor throw his hands up hoping to keep the peace. "I'm sure there's no need to get mad at the situation". Demetri and Amun both walked away from one another back to their sides of the room. "why don't we all just take a seat and talk about this". Demetri and Amun reluctantly sat down. Though they both continued to give each other dearth glares. "good… so why don't I begin this". The good doctor then took this own seat. "now I understand that this is a very stressful time for the both of you…. and that either one of you want to go through this. But if your all going to be in this house you'll have to get along. So…. Amun I asked you here because I thought you should know….. about you grandson….".
"without asking Leah or I". Demetri clenched his teeth, trying to keep his cool. He knew that if he got any louder that he'd wake the baby
Carlisle hung his head and pressed his lips tighter. not meeting the trackers gaze at first. "I apologies Demetri, Esme and I should of asked you first". He gazed back up at Demetri to see him staring down at the ground. "and Demetri….. we wanted you to have more people in your life". Demetri slightly looked up at him, not all the way, it was just his eyes that meet his. "as I said… I am sorry that you weren't told you should of been… but we did do this for you as well. Demetri your coming into this whole new world. And what you've been going through mentally and physically….". Carlisle quickly looked up at the tracker. He didn't want to bring up Demetri being a shifter if he wasn't ready to tell them about that yet. Demetri meet his eye and shook his head. Understanding what the doctor was asking him. Carlisle nodded in return, leaving Amun seeming confused by their interaction. "what I'm saying is that you need people now more than ever Demetri. Were always gonna be here for you and Leah and were always gonna be happy to be here. but you spent years of your life with Amun and Kebi. He's your creature, I knew that you both used to be close so we thought it be nice for you to family some sort of a family back and now look… you have an brother and a sister now. that's another reason we told Benjamin first. We knew he's loved to have a brother and a nephew, we knew that he'd never want to put you in any sort of danger. He'd be more then over joyed to have you let him be in your life ". He then turned to his old friend. "Amun please think about this, a grandson doesn't that make you feel anything?. And very power grandson at that". Carlisle and Demetri shared a look. They both knew that power would appeal to the ancient vampire. Carlisle only hoped that Amun would lean to love Louie over time. he knew that he would eventually.
"what do you mean?". He asked skeptically. "what can the boy do?".
"the boy is named Louie". Demetri said through his teeth getting annoyed at his maker.
"at this point Louie… is too young to properly determine what his gift is….".
Amun scoffed and slid down a little in his chair not wanting to listen to this nonsense any longer.
"but…. We do know that he has one. He would demonstrate certain gifts while in the womb …."
"how so?".
"he would show Leah things before he had been born…..".
"like your seer?".
"… in a way yes….".
"so he can see the future?".
"well he had but where not…".
"not what Carlisle?… because I don't want my time wasted and my coven in harm's way for a thing that doesn't concern us. even if it had powers or not…".
"STOP CALLING MY SON THAT". Demetri suddenly stood from his chair and yelled. Carlisle stood up next and got in between the two just in case the tracker lunged at the Egyptian coven leader. "he isn't a thing or an it or an danger to anything or anyone…. He's just an baby. He's a little boy, he doesn't even know what the meaning of power is. And now that's what everybody will only be interested in when his existence is found out. He's gonna be some sort of freak show now… Leah and I are gonna be fending off others for most of our lives once they hear about him. It isn't just gonna be the volturi who will want him. I know that the Romanians certainly will. They've always looked for an way to get revenge on us after taking the vampire world as our own. If he's as powerful as we all think he be they'll want to know that for them self's. they could try and take him and use him against me… or use him as a way to get to Aro. Have Louie taken by them would without a doubt have Aro become enraged. And then let's not forget about other shape-shifters out here". Demetri voice began to crack but he didn't want to seem weak in front of Amun so he tried as best he could not to let his tears fall. But that turned out to be difficult for him because the very thought of his son, his little man getting taken away made him feel physically ill. But unfortunately for the tracker…. Amun did take notice. And felt an unexpected pang of sympathy for the man he used to consider the closes thing he had, had to an son. "if they were to hare about him they could decide that he's too much of an danger as well. And come for him just like the way the la push pack came for Renesmee. And is isn't like Alice would be able to see them coming. And I don't see Sam and his pack giving to much of a damn as long as they could achieve what he wasn't able to. I mean I think me dead alone would make him happy but the dearth of his ex who he now sees as a traitor, and the baby who he thinks will grow up to be danger. Well with us gone he'll never need to look over his shoulder again now would he". Demetri hadn't noticed that he was on a rant. He didn't really know where all of this was going. It was just like everything was now coming up to the ceiling, like it was a long time coming even though he had gone on rants before this one felt kind of different. Maybe it was because of Amun being his sire and that he was the first person the tracker had ever been close to. but he just couldn't stop himself from getting it all out and off his chest. He wanted to stop talking but it was like the time he had thrown up in the throne room… there was no slowing it down once it started. He didn't want to be having this brake down in front Amun like this, especially in front of the doctor. "… he's a person… he's a little person who deserves a chance at life without constantly being referred to as an it, or a. thing, or the hybrid first of his kind, the thing that everybody knows about….. well he isn't that to me…. He's my son…..Louie". Demetri wasn't able to control it now. he put his hand over his mouth and let out a sob.
Amun was taken aback, hadn't had ever seen a vampire cry before. But then it was like something had come over him.
Seeing the tracker be so overcome with emotion almost made him forget about the last few thousand years. As much as he hated Demetri for leaving him behind and forgetting about him, he didn't want to see the man he looked after and cared for be this way. He didn't want to care but even he couldn't turn his back on Demetri, because after everything that had happen between them…. he did care. Carlisle took a step fort to try and comfort the tracker but stopped when he realized Amun was walking past him.
The Egyptian had gone up to Demetri, who hadn't noticed yet. And had lightly placed his one of his hands on the trackers shoulder. Demetri only then realizing it recoiled back for a moment. He looked at Amun and made direct contact. Amun looked at him right back and gave Demetri a slight gesture. Motioning to him that it was alright. Amun took another step ford and this time placed both hand on his shoulders and all so lightly pulled Demetri into him. It was a bit awkward but still Amun didn't shy away. Though Demetri was a little taller than Amun, Amun still found a way for the tracker to have his head ley on his shoulder. And then Amun rested his head up on the top of his. it wasn't really a hug because Amun just had one of his arms around Demetri neck. But for the both of them it was the most affection they'd even been with one another.
Carlisle slowly smiled at the sight before him. He quietly walked out the room and slowly closed the door behind him.
Outside door
As he shut the door he turned to see Leah leant up against the wall. "is he okay?". she asked biting at her nail nervously. She didn't want to be invasive but she couldn't help but listen to what her imprint had been saying. She didn't intend to ears drop on them, she really did want to see if Demetri was okay but then she caught the end of what he was saying… and then it all want quiet.
Carlisle kindly smiled. "he's fine. Their just….". Carlisle wasn't sure if he should tell Leah about the moment Demetri had, had in there and that Amun was comforting him. so he want with just telling her that everything was fine. "they're just catching up".
Leah nodded, she knew that Demetri was going through something in there and wanted to make sure he was okay. but she also trusted to the doctor. So she decided to just leave it. "okay". then the sound of a tiny man filled the house again. 'I love Louie but if I let him sleep again he'll be up all night…. So we'll be up all night'.
The doctor noticed Leah seemed tired. "well looks like he wants you again". Carlisle kept the smile on his face. He put his arm around her shoulder as they started to walked back into the family room. She laughed when he did that so she laid her head on his shoulder.
A little while later
Louie was still with Benjamin and Tia on the sofa. Leah told them that they had to try and keep him awake so they she puts him to bed he'll sleep like a log. So they began playing with him, they bounced him up and down which made him cry out in laughter.
He loved it.
They but did started to bounce him a little softer when everybody noticed that Demetri was by the door way. He step into the room and looked eye contact with his mate. Amun come in after him and his eyes meet Benjamin's, then panned down to gaze at his grandson.
Everything want quiet.
Demetri then looked at Benjamin as well, then like Amun looked down at his son. Benjamin didn't need to be told what was happening.
Demetri started to walk over to him, so he stood up and smile. Benjamin was truly happy that Amun had decided to embrace this, And not run from this. Because Amun holding Louie would mean that Benjamin and Tia would have a brother a sister, and an nephew, Along with any new friends. Something that Benjamin had only craved, because of Amun over protectiveness Benjamin was never allowed to meet anybody new, and because of this had become lonely. He loved his mate and she was enough for him… but he did always wonder what it be like to have other friends and to go to other places. He could of kissed Amun at that moment.
Benjamin passed Louie to his father who turned to Amun. Amun come closer to Demetri, and the tracker though close to Amun still held the baby out to him. almost like he was presenting him to a king. It seemed like the older vampire was looking the baby over, as if he was trying to determine if he was safe.
Then he held out his arms and let Demetri carefully place little B in them.
It was still quiet in the room. Everybody was waiting for his reaction to the baby.
He looked down at his grandson, watching the way Louie's eyes would make their way around Amun face. Almost the baby was trying to take him in to.
After Louie was done what looked like to be sussing him out, he started to giggle at his grandfather.
If you didn't have powerful super human eyes you wouldn't of been able to tell that Amun had a ghost of a smile on his face.
