I'M BACK!
I'm sorry, my computer broke down and I didn't have the new chapters. So I'm only my grandparents' computer right now. Sorry it's been a month, but to make up for it…
THE REUNION (part 1) IS THIS CHAPTER! ↖↗ (Don't question my arrows)
[October 5th]
L dies today… along with a large amount of a rival mafia.
I walked out of their hide out, putting Michael's gun back in my waistband. I needed to show them what happens when you mess with my people. Rain informed me of what happened to Viola, and I was going to show them that you don't mess with me.
I brought a flat yesterday, a few hours before Avery gave birth to his twins. And I somehow ended up with the job of raising their Life God daughter, Anastasia.
I walked in to my apartment, checking up on Ana before grabbing a new stick of gum. She was still asleep, curled around her teddy bear. Because of some magic my mother performed, the twins – Anastasia and Bowen – were physically and mentally three year olds until they were biologically three, when they could start aging and growing. Complicated, I know.
"Ana?" I whispered, nudging her a little.
"Auntie Blake, I'mma sleeping," she whined.
"Do you want to meet your big sister?" I asked. According to Rain, Beacon spent a lot of time at the Keehl house rather than Wammy's because it reminded her too much of me and Beyond. I really do feel bad that I made her feel so bad that she no longer wants to live there. I know it's horrible there, but it was still good there... if you avoided the assholes.
Ana sat up, her blonde hair a total mess, her purple eyes wide. "Can I?" she asked.
I nodded. "Get dressed and I'll call a friend." Ana smiled up at me and scrambled out of her bed to her wardrobe.
I smiled, thinking as hard as I could to find Rain.
'Hey, Rain! You know where's Beacon right now?'
'She's at Wammy's right now~ Why?'
'I've got her little sister with me, thought she might want to meet her.'
'THERE'S A NEW BIRTHDAY?!'
'Hi S. Not now.'
Ana pulled on my hoodie sleeve, linking her small index finger through the thumb hole. She wore a light green tee-shirt with white shorts. "Can you do my hair?" she asked.
I took her to the bathroom where I brushed her mid-back length hair and parted it down the middle, preparing to tie it in pigtails.
"High or low?" I asked.
"High, and can you use the green ribbon ties?"
I nodded and grabbed two green hair ties with a green bow on each. I pulled up one side and tied it up tight, then did the same on the other side. She smiled and moved her head around, allowing her long pigtails to move around.
"What's my sister's name?" Ana asked as the two of us walked down the streets in Winchester. I didn't want to teleport as she is still biologically a day old. She was still really happy, and I had explained to her that she was a Life God and that was why she wasn't allowed to be with her dads right now.
"Her real name is Bella, but everyone calls her Beacon. She's a very rare mix of Life and Death God, although she doesn't know that yet. She's nine, and very nice, right Bandit?"
"She's a cute little thing, from what I remember," Bandit said. I let Anastasia touch my notebook so she could see and hear Bandit.
I saw the gates of Wammy's House looming over us. They were easy to open; it was just getting in undetected that was going to be hard. Then again, who breaks in to prison?
I have done it way too many times.
'Seriously Blake, there's another Birthday? Where are you? How did Viola get to England?' and S was still annoying me.
'Fine S, fine. Beyond and Avery just had twins, I'm at Wammy's, and she came with me.'
'Wammy's? I'll let you in. They've put up security since you got out.'
The large front door opened and there was S, just as I saw her when she was Monica.
"Ana, stay behind me for now," I whispered as S walked up to me.
She smiled at me before slapping me across the face. "Okay, I deserved that," I admitted as S hugged me. When she pulled away, she slapped me again.
"That was for not staying for coffee."
I laughed and held Ana's hand to tell her that she could come out from behind me. "S, this is Anastasia, Beyond and Avery's daughter. She's the Life God of the twins. Ana, this is S, she's really close to me, and is basically another aunt for you."
"Hello S," Ana said quietly.
S looked down at Ana and Ana smiled. "Can I ask who got pregnant and how?"
"Avery, and they're dead, do you think it matters?" I answered.
S shook her head and held her hand out for Ana to take, which she did. "Welcome to Wammy's House, Anastasia Avery-Birthday," S said, walking her in.
"Blake!" I heard the ever so familiar voice of Mail Jeevas call. And I was crushed by said person's familiar arms.
"They're crazy people, you know that, right?" Barium asked. I nodded to the cat.
"Hey, Mattie," I said breathlessly. Seriously, that boy was killing me.
"Where have you been?"
"America, I'm Mello's boss. I live in the city now, with my newest niece."
Matt sighed. "We're all looking for a place to move to."
Idea struck. S and Beacon needed a place (according to Rain), Matt and Mello want a new place, and I have loads of spare rooms...
"Move in with me. You can bring Mello, S and Beacon. I've got plenty of space; it'd be no problem."
Matt's face went through three different emotions in one moment; surprise, thoughtfulness, and finally, happiness.
"S! Are you and Beacon willing to move today?"
S turned around with Ana on her waist. "Well, yeah."
"Blake's got the room."
I nodded in response to S's sceptical expression. Her eyes were ecstatic. I knew that look. That was the 'Finally, I'm getting out of this hell hole' look.
"Well, let's go tell Beacon that her aunt is back, and to start packing," S said, putting Ana down.
The four (well six if you count Bandit and Barium) of us went up the two flights of stairs to the dreaded Hell of my old hall. I saw that Mello's door had been burnt a few times, Matt's handle had been covered in wires, and Beacon's door had a 'Stay The Hell Out Of This Room If You Want To Keep Your Eyes' sign on it.
S knocked on Beacon's door. As she did this, Ana held my hand tight, and Matt hugged me from the side. "I like the hair by the way. It suits you."
I leaned my head on his shoulder. "Thanks Mattie. I called Mello, you know?"
"Yeah, he dropped his chocolate on my floor."
"I know."
"What do you want, Aunty S?!" Beacon screamed. That's when I remembered. Shinigamis children hit puberty at the age of ten, which is when Life Gods start seeing their... work, I guess. Beacon's only a few months off, so she's going to be temperamental as hell!
"There's someone here to see you, Beacon," S responded.
"Tell them to go away!"
I rolled my eyes. "S, let me take this," I whispered.
I walked up to the door, Ana's hand in mine. "Bella Before Birthday, get out here and meet your little sister before I teleport myself in there," I snapped.
I heard the door unlock and saw Beacon stick her head out a little. "Auntie Blake?"
"The one and only."
