Kyle POV
I woke up from the void and understood what Carlisle meant of the sensation of sleep. I sat up and realized that I had had a soft pillow and cover on me that fell from my chest to my waist. They'd given it to me as I slept. Leaving it in the tub I left to go find everyone else in the house.
All of them were in the kitchen, at the table, with books and papers. Esme looked up at me from the stove and smiled at me,
"Hello." I smiled at her as she did to me and tried to speak again slowly,
"Hello." She smiled bigger when I spoke.
"How about we try to eat something. "She said as she guided me to an empty seat next to Rosalie at the table. Then she placed the food she had prepared in front of me. "These are eggs, pancakes, and syrup." They smelled nice so I knew this eating thing might not be bad. I reached for the eggs with my hand, but they were hot and I dropped it back onto the plate.
"Here," Rosalie turned to me "let me help you. This is a fork." She picked up the fork and put them in my hand. She guided my fork to the eggs again, but remembering it was hot and blew on it first. "There you go, now you can eat it." I like the way she felt holding my hand and helping me. I tasted the eggs and they were really good. So I smiled at her for helping me. She smiled back at me, but her eyes looked a little sad as she did it.
Rosalie's POV
If I were still a human, would I of had a son like him. As I look at this helpless boy, all I can see is the son that I could of take care of. He looks a bit like Emmett. Tall build, dark hair, and he has my beauty in his face. A close blend of the two of us. I suppose he will have to be Emmett's brother if we ever put him into school. I try to push such thoughts of a child that I'll never have aside and smile back at this young man after feeding him for the first time.
"He likes you." Edward whispered low enough so that the boy I was feeding wouldn't hear. "He likes that you're helping him and smiling at him." That makes me feel a little bit better at being near him, and I smiled a little more. I just hope I don't bond with him too much to let go. Carlisle decided that this would be the best time to bring up naming him.
Kyle's POV
"We were talking last night, and since you have joined our family it would be best if you had a name we will call you by." He stated putting away his papers.
I would get a name too!This made me excited, so I smiled at him.
"He would like to have a name." Edward spoke for me.
"What do you think your name should be?" Alice said giving him an encouraging smile.
How do you name something? I don't know what I would be called.
"He doesn't know." Edward stated.
"Well we thought of a few last night." Alice started listing," Jonathan, Alex, Kyle…"
"Kyle?" I spoke it out loud. I liked the way it sounds and feels to say. I smiled at them to let them know I liked it.
"He likes that name." Edward said. "Okay you want to be Kyle."
Yes.
"Rosalie picked it out." Alice mentioned. I turned to give Rosalie a big smile.
She named me. I don't know why I was particularly happy that it was Rosalie who named me, but I was happy all the same.
"Kyle is happy that you named him." Edward spoke for me again, and Rosalie gave me a smile; this time she wasn't sad.
Emmett POV
Everyone watched this exchange between Kyle and Rosalie and saw the beginning stages of a connection happening between them. For the most part Emmett has gotten to keep Rose all to himself. She likes the other members of the family, but she was always closer to Emmett.
What is going on between these two? Sharing, especially when I can to his mate, was never one of Emmett's strong qualities. He could become territorial very quickly.
"Well now that that is settled, Kyle, we have to go to school and work for the day so you will spend the day with Esme." Carlisle spoke up, "We all better get going, and Kyle, try to use your words more often. Speaking is very important in this world, and you'll need it to meet others." Kyle nodded, then thought about it, and simply smiled,
"Yes."
Carlisle smiled back at him and got up from the table with his briefcase to head off to work at the hospital. We followed suit to go to school; which was a complete waste of time when you've got about fifteen High School Diplomas and some college degrees, but what can you do when you look perpetually youthful.
We all said goodbye to Kyle, I added a hand to his head to ruffle his hair with my goodbye, while he gave a quiet "Bye" with saddened eyes for seeing us all leave him.
"We will be back soon." I heard Rosalie stop and turn to tell him before she left the kitchen.
I waited for her at the door and walked her to her car that we were taking to school. "So Kyle is growing on you huh?" I asked with a big smile.
"Yeah I guess." She answered with a smile, but I can still see sadness in her eyes.
"Go ahead tell me what it is about Kyle that makes you so sad." I ask her gently while the others have already driven off." You always have sad eyes when you look at him."
"You'll think it's silly." She said dropping her smile.
"Come on …tell me." I egged on.
"She took an unnecessary breath and let it out. She admitted slowly. "You think…if we were still human, and had children they would of…looked like Kyle." Having children was one of the touchy subjects when it came to Rosalie. It's the man reason she regrets being a vampire, and it was the one thing that I couldn't give her.
"I don't know, maybe." I answered her in a low voice, "But now you have him now." She gave it some thought for a few seconds and sighed. The started the car and drove down the driveway that led to the road to school.
