chapter 9: Little Brother
EDpov
I took CJ while Carlisle stayed with Esme. She was still so nervous, it was painful to see her memories flash through her mind. In time though I knew she would come to trust us. Not only because that was our nature as vampires, to draw our prey in, but because I knew Carlisle wouldnt let her go now that he had her again.
I heard the little child whimper next to me, I picked him up gently and held him. He was dreaming. I frowned, he was dreaming of his mother being beaten by that, he doesnt even deserve to be called a man. I held him a little closer to me as he slept, humming to him softly. He liked the vibrations he felt from my chest as I hummed. Soon he fell into a deeper sleep, and I just held him.
I looked at him and smiled, I had always wanted a little brother. But after i was born my mother wasnt able to have any more children. They did try. But after two miscarriages she couldnt take the pain anymore. They were looking to adopt before we all got sick. I shook my head, I will never forget the night my parents died. I was almost completely out of it when they wheeled my father away, I saw my mother talking to Carlisle just before she was wheeled away as well. I knew that parents were supposed to die before their children, but I didnt think it was supposed to be so soon.
After Carlisle changed me it was hard to get used to life without them. I always wished I had a sibling to talk to about the pain, Carlisle always said I could talk to him but he didnt understand. He didnt exactly like his father because of what he did, it wasnt the same as I felt about my parents. I felt a small hand touch my shoulder and looked down at CJ, he was looking at me with the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen.
I smiled at him and he smiled at me. 'mama' he thought, I smiled. "mommy is resting right now. she is very tired" I said, then he thought of the journey they had been on. All the towns they had stayed in, all the miles they, mainly she, walked. All to find safety. "dont worry, you dont have to go anywhere anymore" I promised him. He snuggled closer to me and I hummed to him.
I heard his stomach growling and quickly got up to make him a bottle, he held onto my shirt like his little life depended on it as I walked downstairs. I quickly made the bottle and started feeding him, he devoured it quickly and stretched his little arms above his head. I chuckled. I think I was going to like this kid.
I was going to enjoy having a little brother to watch over.
a/n short chapter I know. I just had to get some Edward/cj fluff in there. tell me what you think.
