Ch. 3

Nick's POV I sat down on the bed. What the hell did she want? I didn't understand. She closed the door behind her and sat down on the desk chair. She was beautiful. Wait hold on, NO. I said it to myself NO. She was watching him calmly. He was NOT going to think about what he wanted to do to her. It was too early in the day. "Why am I here." I was glad my voice was flat. "Aw, don't like being here in this room all alone with me?" She asked almost pouting. I laughed. "Hmm. Well, I wouldn't quite say that." "Oh, but wouldn't you now." She purred. A small-amused smile played across her lips. "What do you want to talk about Talia? I don't have time for your games." I was starting to get annoyed. She was being a bitch and I didn't need nor have time for it. "Fine then Nick. Why the hell don't you come around any more?" She wasn't happy about that. I could tell that wasn't the only reason though. Something else was bugging her. "I seem to remember you telling me to stay away when you found out I joined Daybreak." She hadn't told me she had nearly decapitated me. I had gathered the stay away part from her screaming. "I was mad. You still should have come back. If nothing else then to see your kids." She had me there. The kids were all mine. "I know, but you still won't give me the real reason you brought me here." I was uneasy. Something was up. I just didn't know what. "Fine, Fine. Ruin all my fun why don't you." "I will." "Why did you join the damned day breakers?" "Because, they stand for the right things. They," I was trying to tell her what I'd been struggling with myself, "believe in the unity we have. Look at the team." I knew that was the truth. She thought about it for several minutes. "Oh. I think I'm beginning to get it now. It's different from mine. We just wanted more of a challenge." She got up. Walking into the living room she collapsed onto her couch. She leaned back and closed her eyes. I walked in a sat down beside her. "Poor baby. What need me to steal the kids?" she turned and looked at me funny. "Well some of them?" "Like most of them?" She was puzzled. "Yea." I had no idea what I was doing. Oh well, I never truly have. "Ok! I'll pack them some clothes. Oh and your getting Haley, Elyssa, Darien, Avery, Zane, Nathan, Eli, Ethan. Kaliena." She was actually awake, for once in her life. "I really am getting most of them." I was amused with her. She was upstairs packing. "Dada!" I heard my 4-year-old son, Nathan scream. I looked up. He was excited. About that time Talia came downstairs with some bags. She handed them to me, then went to round up all of the little darlings I was taking with me. "Bye kids!" She didn't have to sound so happy did she? I guess she did. We drove around for a while. When I finally got back to the mansion Quinn looked at me funny. He didn't ask, he just raised an eyebrow. Nathan, Zane, and Avery seemed to be looking around to figure out what would be the best things to break. "Don't even think about breaking anything boys. That goes double for you girls." I knew that this would be interesting. I saw Kym sitting in the TV room. She looked up and noticed all 1,2,3, 9kids. "Talia that mad?" she asked mildly, but it sounded like she was trying not to laugh. So was I come to think of it. "I guess so. She seemed happy to give them to me for as long as I want." I spoke as if I were talking about what we were having for dinner, O positive, or something like that. "How many kids do you have?" Thea seemed surprised by the 10 of them. "Too many. Want some?" I was joking, but I wondered if I shouldn't let her have one or two of them. "Hm. I think I'll wait. I'm not sure I'm ready." She was joking, but she had a point. "Thea, I'm not sure I'm ready and I'm 360 years old. Plus I've already raised, 1-2-3-4 more." I was not kidding this time. "You skipped four. So you have 14 kids. Man you've been busy. I thought she was mad cause you were never home. How do you got 14 kids if you were never home?" "Who said anything about havin to be home to have kids?" "Daddy! Lookie it's a Iris!" Darien said with a smile. "It's yellow too. That means flame or passion. Look there's a rose." "Do you like flowers? There's a nice garden here." Thea kneeled down to be at the same level of girl "I love flowers. Moma taught me 'bout them fore the babies were born." "Oh" " Daaaaaaaaaa. Baba. I wana Baba. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Ethan almost screamed. He was really sleepy and was showing it. Talia was also making him use a sippy cup. He was not happy about that. "Welcome back lady Hannah." Nilsson said showing in Lady Hannah. Hannah looked around. She seemed to notice my kids and me all at once. She liked kids and smiled at them. "Who had all kids?" She asked with softly. "Mine." I wasn't in the mood for teasing and Ethan was screaming. I heard a soft laugh from behind me. I turned and saw Talia leaning up against the doorframe with a cat-like grace.

Talia's POV I smiled sweetly at Nick. He looked confused. I grinned sweetly. "Hey Kym." "What?" She looked up, "Oh, hi. What do you." "What weapons you want?" "At least one rainbow fan. A . hmm. A switch blade, a butterfly, and a ." "I'll tell Shaun one knife of his choice for you. He know how to use anything? Well, you stayed with him he gotsta be good in bed at least." I picked up my phone and called home. Jaymie answered. "Hello?" Jaymie said. "Jaymie," I heard guys' voices, then Roo laughing, " who is that? Tell Roo she can't screw in her bed. Not mine or the babies or the other littles' bed neither. You can't either. I don't want to know neither. Take a message for Shaun from me. He'll be there by ." " He already is and he brought his brother." "Give Shaun the phone. NOW!" "What's up Talia?" Shaun asked. "You aren't supposed to be there for another hour. Kym wants ." "Me." "Nope. A butterfly, switch, butter-fan, and whatever you pick." "Cool." "Now leave." Jaymie grabbed the phone, "You made him leave!!!!" "Yep." Nicky He didn't answer me.
