Ch. 4
Disclaimer: I know I forgot it in the first two chapters :: smiles sheepishly:: but I have it now. In no way, shape or, form do I own the Night World, that and most of the characters you recognize are L. J. Smith's creations. However the others are mine.
Thanks to all the lovely people who reviewed this Fic. :: smiles happily at them:: Thanks so much. I'll try to start updating a lot quicker. I just got busy with school and all.
Just a small note for this chapter, some of what Talia's lovely family does is based off my own HUGE family. So if some for the stuff seems extremely strange, it's probably from my actual family. Also you'll probably notice that Talia's friends and family tend to chime in through the story. For the most part the story's about Talia and Nick, but her family's important too. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Kris' POV
Why me? Why the hell did mom have to have all of the kids? I can't understand why she had to have Pat. He's horrible. Is it not enough that she had everyone else? I mean Pat is just . bad. It's not enough for him to be a 13-year-old drunk. Nope, if that was it could deal. But no, of course it couldn't be that simple. He has to be a cross dresser too. I don't have anything against cross dressers. It's just . can't he get his own clothes? I started looking for my camera. It was the nice one that mom had bought me for my birthday last year. I had let mom borrow it and couldn't remember where she had put it. I found it in the living room. Shaun and his little brother had already left. Jayme and Roo had gone upstairs. When Pat and Ian ran in wearing bra's too, I started taking pictures. I couldn't wait to blackmail them. Maybe pat would finally act different. I looked at how much film I had left. There wasn't much left at all. I finished off the roll and headed up stairs. Unsurprisingly they followed. They managed to pick the lock of my bedroom door and ran in. Of course I can't say that the room is just mine, but at the moment it is. Roo and Jayme were on the roof. "Get Out!" I yelled at them. "No! You can't make us," yelled Pat. "You wanna bet?" I took a step menacingly toward them. Ian stepped back; Pat tried to act tough. "Yea. I do." "Really?" "Uh. Yea bitch." He then proceeded to dance around my room waving his fists. I rolled my eyes and started to walk downstairs. They were stupid little pests. When I go downstairs I could hear mom yelling at the girls on the roof. Oh no. She would not be happy. I'm leaving. Or at least I though I was. Instead I ran into mom while I was trying to eave.
Talia's POV
What the hell is wrong with me? I'm getting all worked up over him. Goddess. I'm going to just . Man I gotta go home and get some sleep. When I pulled in, I found Jayme and Roo on the roof. Why the hell where they on the roof? I asked them that only in much stronger language. When I satarted to walk inside I ran into Kris. Why was she leaving? I decided to ask and didn't get an answer. Suddenly I heard Pat and Ian run downstairs. HOLY SHIT! "Why the Hell are you too wearing girls underwear?!" I yelled at them. "Um," they both started to think of an answer. "Never mind." "It's not what you ." Pat started to say. "I do NOT want to know. Now Patrick go up stairs and change. You to Ian." seeing them hesitate I yelled "Now!" that got them moving. "I'm sorry mom. I din't want to bother you and." Kris started, but stopped when I held up a hand. "Don't worry about it. They are insane. I'm going to bed. Try not to bother me." I got undressed. Then pulled on a big black T-shirt. I climbed into my bed. Oh goddamn I haven't been like this for . for a really, really very, very long time. It's been a long time, the last being, ah goddess, since I was trying to raise Daemon. The phone rang. I could hear that one of the kids got it. Damn! Sometimes I wish I didn't have the kids. They were annoying and got to me sometimes. I didn't want to see them right now. I didn't want to see him either. I knew he'd come over though. I don't get why people do that. They know that you want to be alone, so they show up at your I felt him show up. He was of course there only five minutes after the call. I looked up at him when he walked in the room. I glared at him. "Go away Nick," I said quietly. "No." "Why?" "I want to know what's wrong." "I've just relized that I want to be alone. I don't want to have kids or anyone else. I want to be . free."
Nick's POV
I didn't get it at first. I didn't understand. Then I understood. She wanted time to be alone. A time when she could listen to her music, practice her magic, think her thoughts, and never have to wonder about what her children were doing. "Oh. Talia no one is keeping you from being free. You just have responsibility," I said softly. "Yea. Sure. Whatever you say. This responsibility is driving me nuts. My daughter likes to be on the roof. My son likes to wear his sister's underwear. Another son hasn't been home in seven years. Another daughter would prefer that her mom was better at her job," Talia replied her voices as quiet and cool as before. "Talia, you do your job fine. Your damn good at what you do." "I'm not talking about that job, Nick. I'm talking about being a mother. I'm almost never home. I'm not a good mom. I suck at it." Kara's POV
I heard a kid scream. Damn. I walked into Kayoie and Jeremiah's room. Jeremiah was hitting Kayoie. "Hey! Stop it. NOW!" I was not in a nice mood. "Moma he's hitting me." Kayoie declared. "I know." "I was not." Jeremiah yelled at her. That was pointless I had seen him do it. "You did do." That was all the more it took my four-year-old son and two year old daughter to start fighting. "Hey! Both of you shut up and listen to your mother." Andy yelled. Thank you I didn't want the kids to know how bad they were getting on my nerves. If they found out they would never stop. Sure thing babe. I heard the phone ring. I walked into the living room and grabbed the cordless. "'Ellow." I answered "Hey, Kara? It's Kym." "Oh. Whatcha need?" "I was just wondering if you knew what was wrong with Talia." "Something's wrong with Talia?" "Yea she left like ten minutes ago. Nick went after her." "Oh well I hadn't heard." I felt rather than heard Kayoie's scream. "What was that?" "That was the sign that I need to go." "Oh well bye." "Bye." I hung up. A little help. It seemed strange that Andy, who was stronger and bigger than me would ask for help with a small 30-pound girl. That was if she weighed that much. All you have to do is ask. Well I just did.
Strange as this may be I'd love to hear from any readers. I'd like to know what ya'll think. Please tell me, I'm sure it'd please Talia and her family lots.
