Please ,please, please review
The next week was spent getting prepared to leave and be gone for at least a week. MieMie had decided that it would be better for the kids to be kept in their home and even though I argued I lost. Pop and her would stay here with my kids when I asked about their own kids Pop's chuckled "Bella will be in charge and were only a minute or two away if something happens, don't worry, baby girl." I smiled and dropped the subject I knew I was not changing their minds. My mom's prediction of Paul demanding he come came true and he is now also packed to go. The argument with Sam was the hardest on both of us. I eventually compromised "Sam, I am so sick of arguing with you" I sighed "fine you can go but only Paul and you no one else," he smiled in victory "But only you two Jared can help Jake, period." Jared started to argue but with one glare I shut him up and Emb stopped arguing with me after the talk at the Cullen's.
"Mom, I want alone time tell them to leave my room," I looked up at Nick once I came back to the present. "Honey, why are you so upset" I asked as I stood up and walked over to him "Did something happen." He shook his head and signed "The noise and people are too much, please, I just want alone time." I smiled and told him to go up to my room and lock the door and I would make sure no one bothered him. I often wonder if he has some kind of underlying condition because he has always had a tendency to have his senses overloaded. I sighed as I walked into Nicks room "What are you guys up to" I asked staring at Nate. He shrugged his shoulders "Nothing we just came in to ask him if he wanted to go play catch." He made it sound so innocent but he knows how his brother feels at times. "OK but when he told you to get out why did you not leave and why you are still in here now" I practically growled. "He's crabby like you" Maurice said as he rushed out of the room I glanced at him but turned back to my other son. "Nathanial," he grimaced and I took a deep breath I knew I had to settle down "You know how Nick gets at times and when he asked you to leave you should have left" I said through clenched teeth. I stopped to take a few more deep breathes and calm myself more.
I just stood still taking deep breaths till I was calmer and could talk this out with him. I realized he said nothing and looked over at him he was sitting cross legged on the bed staring at the floor. I sighed and walked over and sat next to him. He looked over up and I could tell he was on the verge of tears "Mom, I am so sorry I did not mean to make Nick feel like that. I am just so sick of having to be the one that always has to be perfect. I wish I could act like Nick…." I stopped him and moved closer to him "Honey, I love you so much and I never expect you to be perfect. " I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a hug "I'll apologize to him and I will tell Maury that we can't act like that" he mumbled into my shoulder. "That would be nice" I said as I pulled back so I could look in his face "You know you're going to be an adult soon and do you think that what you did to your brother would be ok for an adult to do to someone." He shook his head no and looked at the ground then up at me then started to stand up and offered me his hand. I looked at him confused but took his hand and he helped me stand then said "I want to show you something," we walked to his room and he started up the computer and carried it to the bed and we sat next to each other. "I found something I think you need to read I think maybe both Nick and Maury may have this" he said as he turned the computer towards me.
I sat for a good while after that and read about Autism and Asperger's. I never heard when Paul, Seth and Pam walked back in but jumped and screamed when I felt a hand on my shoulder. All three of them started to laugh and I just glared and pointed my waging finger at the two guys. "Hey I wanted to let you know we were here but he said it would be funnier to see how far we could sneak up on you" Seth said pointing at a disbelieving mate. "Daddy told me I had to be quite" Pam said wiggling in Seth's arms till he set her down. She ran to me and gave me a kiss on my cheek and a big hug "Sorry we scarred you mommy but it really was daddy's idea" she looked back at her dad and laughed. My gorgeous boyfriend threw his arms in the air and said in a mock horror "Everyone is turning on me" and started towards out daughter. She giggled and called her wolf and he came running and scooped her up and ran out the front door. I laughed and then tried to get serious but ended up giggling and kissing my wolf before i sat me on his lap. I was in bliss kissing my man when I heard a gagging noise and looked up, it was my little man. "That's gross" he stated and I smiled "Is there a reason you are here other than to tell me that." He laughed "Yep can I play catch" I nodded and was going to resume where I left off when Paul said "Is there something else buddy." He nodded his head but said nothing me and Paul looked at each other than back to our son. I climbed off of my personal warmer and walked over and knelt in front of him. He whispered in my ear "Can Nate come too" I looked at him confused. It took me almost a minute to understand "Yes he can. Tell him we will talk later but go out and have fun now" he hugged me than ran up the steps.
I felt his strong warm arms wrap around me and I melted into my loving partner. "You ok," I nodded "I take it Nate and you had another disagreement." I giggled "You say that like it happens all the time" I looked up into his eyes "Well it seems to be more lately. I can't imagine how much you two are going to be at it after his birthday in two weeks." I smiled and shook my head "Well I hope it's less I am going to have a long talk with him tonight." I thought for a few seconds "I guess he is going to act his age or I will have to get harder on him" I sighed "And I don't want to go there again." He raised an eye brow. We pulled out the sofa bed and curled up before I started to explain. "Ok you see when I first got the two boys they were so traumatized that they clung to me all the time. After months of working with them I got them to finally quit clinging. That is when they both started to do anything to please me and make sure they were always on their best behavior but it did not last. After about a year of that Nick kind of went into a cocoon and would not talk or make eye contact or anything he was way worse than compared to now. Nate on the other hand started to kick up fits and totally disobey me and my parents it got so bad at eight years old the police brought him home for vandalism. I had to put him through months of counseling and behavior classes. At first he got worse and I figured he would end up in jail but I decided that I was not going to wait. I put a lock on his door and bars on his windows and took everything and I mean everything out of his room and when he did something wrong I locked him in there for a day or two." I sighed and Paul rubbed my back and kissed my temple "At first he would kick and hit the door and then after the first couple of hours he would lay at the door and scream and then it would turn into him begging and crying. It killed me but with the help of his counselor and the reinforced room he started behaving. The counselor said in a way he was pushing me to see if I would abandon him. I feel like its starting again and I don't know if I can handle it if it does not stop when we come back I guess I will have to talk to MieMie about doing a room in the same way." Buy the time I finished tears where streaming down my face and I cried into my warming blanket until I fell asleep on his chest.
The next thing I heard was a knock and I opened my eyes and realized I was in my room. I looked at the clock and realized I slept a little over three hours and it was now five thirty. "Yes" I said looking towards the door "Who is it." I heard a sigh "It's me mom," he paused "Nate." I snickered "Come in" I said as I sat up on the bed. When I looked up at my sons face it looked like we had one of our big arguments or fights or even maybe a day of dealing with him back then. I patted the bed and he walked slowly towards it and sat on the edge. He looked at me with tears streaming down from his eyes "Mom please don't make a room." He put his head in his hands and started crying harder "I'll behave, I won't cause scenes please" he took a deep breath and calmed a little "I will even listen to Paul well I kind of already did." I looked at him a little confused "He said I could not come up here till close to supper and I didn't." Then he was wiping his face with his hands he mumbled in a whisper "Including him yelling at me." I reached over and pulled him further on the bed and wrapped my arms around him. After he settled down I pulled his chin up so he was looking at me "Did I hear that last part correctly" he tried to play like he did not understand but then nodded and curled up into my side. I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair this is the moments I loved with my kids. That's when it hit me that Nick was supposed to be in my room "Where is your brother?" "In his room" he answered "Paul told him if he did not leave he would carry him out" I frowned I would have to have a talk with a third person I see. "Can you go get him and I can talk to both of you at once." He nodded and got off the bed and headed out of my room.
