Eli: Hey everyone! Don't hate on Gabe, because if raising a kid isn't hard
enough, he has to raise a child of the opposite sex all by himself, and
that's hard. Though, he does need to think up a new form of punishment.
Thanks for all the reviews! Here's the next chapter, Enjoy!
Everything was so quiet. He sat on his bed silently, legs crossed underneath him. He hadn't moved a muscle for a long time now. The teen was calm and centered, in rhythm with his breathing and everything else around him. Eyes closed, he reached over to his side and clamped down on his alarm right after it went off. He was up with the sun and he only kept his alarm clock to make his father think he slept more than he did. Due to his training from when he was little, he only needed a couple of hours rest to be good to go.
Dominic was already fully dressed and ready for the day. He had on black combat boots with dark black jeans and a white t-shirt. His white blonde(It was more blonde than white now) hair was brushed down around his head and he was all washed and clean. He stretched himself out before he got off his bed and out of his room. He knocked on his father's door as he walked down the hall into the kitchen.
He switched on the lights and started getting things out of the fridge. A year before Lily moved out, she had taught him how to cook and had left behind a couple of cook books for him to follow. He learned to kinda like cooking and after a bit of trial and error over the years, he wasn't half bad.
It was almost seven when his father got out of his bed room and came into the kitchen. Dom greeted him and handed him coffee as he got the plates of food together. He gave his father a plate as he placed his plate down across from him and went to go get a drink.
Half way through breakfast, Stefen looked away from his book and glanced at his son. "Wie machen Sie heute?" *How are you doing today* He asked.
Dom looked over at him and shrugged. "Geldstrafe, Herr." *Fine sir* He mumbled out slowly as he continued to eat. His first language was English and he had trouble with German, even though that is what his Father spoke in when he didn't need to speak English. He only spoke it for his Father's convenience.
"Wann werden Sie Heim heute sein?" *When will you be home today?*
"Nicht bis spät. Ich muß eine Wissenschaft Prüfung wiedernehmen und dann muß ich zu Ausbildung und Arbeit gehen. Lilie hat gesagt, daß sie über nach der Arbeit wäre, zu besuchen." *Not till late. I have to retake a science test and then I have to go to training and work. Lily said she would be over after work to visit.* Dominic told him as he finished eating and put his plate in the sink. He grabbed his back pack and jacket off the side of the table. "Erinnern Sie sich, an Ihre Pillen, zu nehmen, Nachdem an neun, und nachdem an.." *Remember to take your pills, Once at nine, and once at...*
"Vier, ich wissen." *At four, I know.* Dominic smirked and nodded. "Bye, Dominic hat, einen guten Tag." *Bye, Dominic, have a good day.* Stefen told him warmly as Dominic scratched at the markings at his wrists. His son nodded. "Gut bye, Dad." *Good bye, Dad* He called out as he left the house.
-Later-
Dominic kept to himself as the rest of his English class paired off for group work. He did better on his own, and thankfully, his teacher respected his decision to work alone on even the hardest assignments. He went through his English book and read the short story to himself. Afterwards, he answered the essay questions and handed them to his teacher.
With a little less than an hour left of class, Dominic took out his note book and started drawing. He made an outline of a girl dressed in dark clothing in mid crescent kick. He was just about to darken the lines so that he could start on detail when he felt people looking over his shoulder. He turned his head to find three of his female class mates trying to get a glimpse of what he was drawing. The girl closest to him, Tiffany, smiled at him. "Watcha drawin'?" She asked casually.
He shrugged. "Nothing much. You finish the story?" He asked stoically. When she didn't say anything, he went on. "Interesting wasn't it?"
The girls nodded. "Uh, yeah. Hey, I think we missed a question." They turned away from him and went back to their desks. He turned back to his picture and put his head phones on to drown everyone else out. He drew out her face and body. He was about to draw out the guy she was kicking as well when the teacher stopped the class to read the story outloud. Dom turned his head phones out and followed along in his book like the rest of the class. He scowled when he had to read. His voice was calm, steady, and just loud enough for the class to hear(Lily and Stefen had made him read out loud alot. Something about to improve social skills or what not). He ignored the looks of bliss some of the girls got from listening to him. He was all too relieved when his turn was over.
He closed his book and out his head down until the bell rang.
-Later-
Dominic leaned against the wall to the library as he listened to Jamie tell him all about his science experiment. He hated science with a passion and tried to stay interested with what his younger buddy was telling him, though it was hard. 'I wish Jamie wasn't so genius boy extraordinaire. We really ought to get him a girl or something. He's fourteen, he's old enough. God, James, please be done soon before I strangle you.' He thought to himself as a water bottle came flying toward his head.
Dominic rolled his eyes as he caught it with his left hand and threw it right back at its owner. Beth laughed as she sat down next to him. "Hey Dom." She said with a nod before she turned to Jamie. "Hello my adorable baby brother ohlookheissocute!!" She said in a high pitch voice as she messed up Jamie's hair.
"Beth, back off!" He complained as he hit her with his bag lunch. She glared at him as she munched on her chips. Dominic stole glances at her. God, he was so much in love with her. Yet, she couldn't be anymore oblivious to the fact. He couldn't believe how such a smart girl could be so dumb when it came to this subject.
Bethany tossed her lunch into a near by trash can. "See ya guys." She told them as she picked up her backpack and went up to some guy and started chatting, strike that, FLIRTING with him.
Dominic saw red as his eyes narrowed. "Whose that?" He asked Jamie coldly. The freshman shrugged. "Some guy she met the other day. I think his name is Darren." He said through bites of his sandwich. Dominic's eyes followed Beth until she was out of sight. Jamie smirked. "Geez, Dom, chill out. He's not gonna marry her."
Dominic didn't reply. 'Damn right he's not gonna marry her. That's MY job, weather or not Beth acknowledges it.' He thought to himself before he threw his lunch away and went to his locker.
-Later-
A very sore Dominic came home from work and sat down at the kitchen table. He was a martial arts instructor at a place near his house. Both he and Beth taught there. She took on older students as he took on the children's classes. He didn't mind kids. Okay, truth is he adored kids. He was an only child and it kinda made up for not having any other siblings. But today the usual angels had turned into devils when he had gotten out the pads to practice with. Before he had a chance to react, he was getting dog piled by dozen or so seven/eight/nine year olds.
Lily smiled as her 'little'(The kid was a bit past six feet and taller than her, and all that working out had paid out as he had finally filled out, though he was still a bit on the thin side) cousin collapsed into his seat. She gave him food and he demolished it. She laughed as he got second helpings. "Hungry much?"
"You have no idea." He told her as Lily's daughter ran up to him. "Dominic! Dominic!" She said happily as she climbed up onto his lap. Abigail was two now and he absolutely adored her. She had dark brown hair that curled at the ends and brown almond shaped eyes exactly like her Daddy's. She told him about her trip to the zoo as he finished his dinner. Lily had her go watch TV as she took the seat opposite of her cousin.
"And how are you?" She asked him. He did the same thing he did when his father asked, except in English. She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, and now how are you really?"
He rubbed his head. "I'm tired."
"You're still waking up at dawn, aren't you?" He winced. "Dominic Ryan Carver, what have we told you? What did the doctor tell you? You need that sleep. You're running on no energy. Look at you, I can count every one of your ribs. You need to sleep for more than three hours a day. With all the stuff you do, your body can't take it." She scolded as she took his plate away to clean. She got anal compulsive when she was upset.
He shook his head as he got up and took the dish away form her. "I'll do it. You should get home before it's Abbey's bed time." He told her quietly.
"Dom..." She started.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I just have alot to do. It IS my senior year and all. I promise I'll be better. Alright, Lily?"
"You sure?"
"I'm sure." He lied. He said good bye to his cousins and locked the door behind them. For the next hour or two he did all the housework until he could barely move. Only then did he stop and get ready for bed. He glanced at his clock. It blinked One AM. He put got under his covers and started falling asleep. He rubbed his witchblade marking on this wrist with his thumb. 'Please no dreams, mi'lady.' He begged before he was knocked out.
