Lilly's POV
I feel bad for leaving the girls on their own, unprotected it felt like i was leaving them again, though we're only gone for the night but i still couldn't help but feel guilty, Chris saw my expression, we were on the porch of our house.
"Lilly, don't worry about the girls they will be fine, Sofia and Annie have their cell phones if any problems occur they will call us or call Bella and Edward, trust me you have nothing to worry about" relief washed over me when Chris comforted me i nodded, yes! The girls will be fine. "Come on honey, Esme and Carlisle are waiting for us" with that said me and Chris ran to where Esme and Carlisle said to meet them and in record time we arrived there within 5 minutes hand in hand me and Chris was smiling at Esme and Carlisle. "Hello Lilly, Chris are the girls okay with you here?" We smiled and Chris answered.
"Hello Carlisle and yes the girls are fine, Nessie is okay as well. Come on my throat is burning" Chris winced which caused us to laugh.
Me and Chris followed the couple up to where there were a lot of elk, we all let our senses take over and we all pounced on the poor beasts, i like Elk i would say it was my favourite animal, Chris doesn't like it so much he prefers lions and bears, speaking of which there were 3 male lions nearby and i challenged Chris to see who could get the biggest one and as always it was me, Chris can be quite competitive, once I came out triumphal Chris pouted like a child because he lost.
"Honey, can you say i won this time" I watched as Chris smirked his sexy smirk i growled with lust and licked off the trickle of blood from the side of Chris's mouth, Chris gasped and purred back but then we was interrupted by Carlisle who found our conversation quite amusing, if i could blush i would have and badly. "Sorry Carlisle i didn't see you there" he nodded in understanding then a few seconds later Esme appeared again with a very concerned look on her face.
"Carlisle, i don't know how to say this but when i went to hunt some more Elk, i heard a scream i think some people are in trouble" We all gasped. "Can you take us where you went Esme?" She nodded and gestured for Carlisle to follow, me and Chris were behind them we headed north from where we were, as we drew near to where Esme heard the screams there was human blood in the air, it didn't affect me nor Chris much but it did make us slightly uncomfortable but we still pushed forward and then eventually we saw the most horrible sight.
there was a little campsite set up, and there was a man and a woman lying dead all drained from their blood stood over them was a human blood drinker he was looking at them with wonder and then when he heard us coming his blood red eyes shot straight at us, he quickly dashed straight towards us Carlisle had taken most of the blow and there was a massive scrap until Carlisle managed to get a hold of him and Chris got a hold of his head and pulled it straight off there was a camp fire so they threw the body in the fire.
Chris came back to me in my arms i checked him over to see if he was okay. I looked to search for Esme and i couldn't see her until i saw her in the tent, i walked over to where Esme was. "Esme what are you doing? Come on lets go!" Esme crawled back out of the tent with a sad look on her face. "What's wrong?" Esme toke a deep breath, Carlisle came over and wrapped an arm around her waist for comfort. "There's a little boy in there, no older than 4 years old, i think these were his parents, i was talking to him, he's too scared to come out, maybe you can try and get him out" I gasped in shock the poor little boy i turned to Chris and he looked just as concern as i was. So i nodded and crept into the tent slowly so i didn't scare him, i could hear the poor little boy's heart beat it was in a frenzy when i was inside the tent i saw the little boy backed up into a corner but then i could hear his heart slow down and beat at a normal rate.
the little boy was beautiful he had light curly blonde- brown hair, bright hazel brown eyes, a cute little nose, he was wearing what seemed to be a locket, as i looked into his eyes, he was smiling and he looked curious. "Hello, my name is Lilly, the woman you spoke to was Esme, don't worry we're not going to hurt you, what's your name?" The little boy was calm and he walked straight up to me, i froze in place his scent didn't bother me, it didn't send me into a frenzy but i was just so shocked to how he could be so close, he touched my hand and was shocked to how cold i was, then he touched it again and was alright.
he then put his other hand on my face and was staring deep into my eyes. "Your pwetty, like the flower Lilly" i felt my tears well up but i knew that i could never cry i smiled at him. "Thank you, your very handsome" the little boy giggled. "My name is Aidan and i am 4 years old" Aidan was very well spoken for a 4 year old, he then confirmed his age by holding up 4 little fingers. I was on my knees and smiled at him. Then from nowhere Aidan hugged me i was just so shocked but i hugged him back, i couldn't help but... love this child, i know its dangerous to but he is just so adorable and he may not have any family left but then again i could ask him.
So when he let go of me i asked him. "Okay Aidan, can i ask you a question?" Aidan looked confused but nodded his head. "Do you have any auntie's or uncles or grandma and grandpa you could stay with?" Aidan looked sad. "No Gwandma and Gwandpa are up in heaven i have no bisters or bwothers" I knew what he was saying he was an only child and he had no other family, i felt so sorry for him, this may had seem like the most stupidest thing but i couldn't put this cute little boy into an orphanage or foster home, anything could happen I'd rather him be in a home where he will be loved and i know that he will be! so i made the decision. But i was shocked that Aidan asked me a question.
"Lilly is mommy and daddy okay?" I winced at the little boy, so i picked him up and pulled him into me. "I'm sorry Aidan but your mommy and daddy has gone to heaven" I expected him to cry but i think he was trying to be brave and not cry. "Mommy and daddy are in heaven with Gwandma and Gwandpa?" I nodded sadly and Aidan was taking heavy breaths, such a brave boy. "Aidan, i have a nice big house, not far from here, i have two other daughters that i'm sure would love to meet you, would you want to stay with us?" Aidan then looked at me and was really happy. "Are they as pwetty as you?" I smiled happily. "Yes they are, what do you say, do you want to stay with us?" Aidan smiled his cute smile that shown his cute little dimples and nodded.
I hugged him but was careful to not hurt him, i picked him up i whispered for him to close his eyes and he buried his head into my chest and closed his eyes, when i gathered some of Aidan's things that were packed in a little rucksack i was greeted by Chris, Esme and Carlisle. There were different mix of emotions, Esme looked over joyed, Carlisle looked slightly concerned but happy, but Chris had the biggest smile, i looked at him apologetically. I gave Chris Aidan's bag and he put It on his shoulder.
i turned to Carlisle. "Carlisle i know your concerned and i know i'm making a massive risk by bringing a human into my home especially a child but, he has no other family, i've been in foster care myself it wasn't the best experience i don't want that for him i know the family will be alright, and i'm sure Alice has saw this" With that said Carlisle's phone began to ring and correctly it was Alice.
She said that the family are waiting at my house. Carlisle smiled at me. "Well Lilly i guess we have nothing to worry about they're anxious to meet the little one, but i do want to check him over just to see if he is okay or if he's suffered any injuries" I grew a little protective then but remembered that he's a doctor so i accepted, i looked down to my beautiful little angel and he was sound asleep i didn't want to wake him so we all ran quite slowly soon after Carlisle checked him over and he was fine, nobody said anything until Chris spoke.
"He's so adorable Lilly, i'm so glad we found him, he's going to have a happy life with us" I smiled proudly at my little man i moved a curl from his face he shifted slightly but was still sleeping peacefully, it had taken us at least an hour and a half but eventually we was back at my house, Carlisle and Esme were first to walk in then Chris and then i walked in last before everybody spoke at one time i quickly put my finger against my mouth to make everyone quiet giggles were coming from my daughters and the quadruplets. Alice looked a little impatient like she was waiting desperately to hold Aidan, Rose looked a little sad, but then was smiling when she saw Aidan.
I looked back down at Aidan and i started cooing Aidan to wake up, i whispered to him. "Aidan. Sweetie were here, come on wake up!" Aidan shifted but didn't wake so i spoke a little louder this time. "Aidan, wake up, there are some nice people here who want to meet you!" then slowly Aidan opened his big hazel brown eyes, he got up from my chest, he rubbed his eyes and yawned a little bit, everybody was awing him i giggled, he then looked around the room and started to smile.
"Lilly who are these people?" everyone was smiling i sat on the nearest couch with Aidan on my lap and i gestured for Chris, Annie and Sofie to come over here first. Aidan was smiling as he looked at me then to my husband and daughters. Chris spoke first. "Hello Aidan my name is Chris i am Lilly's husband" Aidan giggled and stretched out his arms for him to pick him up he did and did the same like he did to me. " I can't say your pwetty because your a boy!" Aidan looked sad but it caused everyone to laugh especially Emmett. Chris smiled at him. "Yeah so what could you say i was instead then?" Aidan thought hard then his cute dimpled smile came back.
"you are.. Hamson" I knew he was trying to say handsome my daughters seemed to love him and Sofie was wanting to hold him. "Well thank you Aidan!" Aidan then giggled then turned to my daughters he looked at me then Sofia stepped towards Aidan and greeted him.
"Hello Aidan my name is Sofia, i am Lilly's daughter" Aidan reached out his arms so that Sofia could hold him she was happy to and he was shocked at how warm she was, he then touched Chris's arm and giggled at the cold and then touched Sofia's arm with his other hand and giggled again. Everyone was smiling as he was comparing the temperatures of our skin. He then looked at Sofia's eyes.
"Your eyes are pwetty sopia, i like purple it my favourite color!" Sofia's heart was beating quickly, a tear escaped her eyes and Aidan went and wiped it away from her cheek he then gave her a hug. "Don't be sad, it alwight, mommy sopia is cwying" everyone including me was shocked at how quick he was calling me mommy, i would have cried if i could Chris was smiling he was happier than me i smiled at my little man and walked beside her. "Yeah don't worry baby, she will be okay" Sofia turned to look at me and smiled happily, Annie was also crying but managed to stop when Aidan noticed her. He squirmed a little to be in Annie's arms she quickly ran over to where we was and took him out of Sofia's arms and went to stand by Chris.
"Hi little man, my name is Anna-Maria i am Lilly's daughter" Aidan was looking into Annie's eyes then looked at Sofia again. "Sopia eyes are purple you have honey eyes, i like honey" everyone laughed again including Annie.
"I'm glad you like them, i like your eyes too" Aidan's cheeks went red. "Mine are bwone" Annie's smile went wide and giggled. "Yes and what a beautiful shade brown they are" Aidan giggled. "Thank you Annie-Mawia" she smiled and nodded. "Call me Annie, i know it's a long name" Aidan then nodded. He wanted to be back in my arms so i happily took him out of Annie's hands, i kissed the top of his head and walked over to the cullens that were scattered around the living area, i went to Alice first she squealed and jumped out of her seat, it caught Aidan by surprise but he was doing the exact same thing but he didn't jump he was just squealing which then caused everybody to erupt in laughs.
"Hey! Alice you made a friend!" Alice glared at Emmett but at least Aidan wasn't afraid of the pixie. She wasn't sure if she was allowed to hold him so she said her name first. "Hello Aidan my name is Alice, i am your mommy's friend" Aidan squealed again and he practically jumped from my arms to Alice, he was staring at Alice's spiky hair and started to play with it.
"Hewow Alice, you have spiky hair! Why is yours spiky and mommies is long" everyone was giggling. "Well because i like it short do you like it?" Aidan touched it again. "YEAH YEAH YEAH!" i smiled with love for this little boy, Alice was happy that he likes it. "Mommy, Awice's hair is spiky" I couldn't help but laugh, he was such an excited little boy. "I know baby!" Aidan then turned his attention to jasper he squirmed out of Alice's grip and trodden over to Jasper he climbed and sat on his lap, Jasper was completely shocked i think everybody was. "Hewow what your name?" Jasper smiled contently with his southern drawl he spoke.
"Hi Aidan my name's Jasper pleasure to meet you" Aidan giggled. "Howdy ya'll" Emmett burst out laughing including everyone else he copied Jasper's accent perfectly but it just sounded so cute even Jasper was impressed. "You sound like a cowboy, do you have a horsey anywhere? Mommy can you find a horsey?" Aidan was looking around to find a horse because of course cowboys rode on horses but this only caused Emmett to laugh even louder. "no baby, jasper doesn't have a horsey" Aidan gasped, "Did the bad people take your horsey away fwom you, that why you have scratches all over you?" everyone in the room went silent Jasper didn't seem fazed by it though. "Yeah the bad people toke my horse away" Aidan got angry. "don't worry jasper we will get you a new horsey and if the bad people come we can scare them away!" i sighed in relief but laughed at Aidan's comment jasper smiled widely.
"Okay little man pinkie swear?" Aidan smiled happily and stuck out his cute little finger and wrapped it around jaspers. "Pinkie swear!" I looked at Alice and she was staring at jasper with pride, Aidan hugged jasper and gasped when he was staring at Rosalie, he seemed to blush a little bit but crawled over to her. Rosalie giggled, i think he was struck and Emmett started to laugh, he seemed really shy and Rose noticed so she spoke first.
"Hi, My name is Rosalie, i'm Jasper's twin sister" Aidan looked at Jasper and then back to Rosalie then he did the same with Jasper and crawled onto her lap, but then he reached for a lock of her beautiful blonde hair and was smiling at it, liking the feeling of her hair on his hand, then he blushed as he looked in her face but still put a hand on her cheek. "Rose your pwettier than everyone Sowy mommy" Aidan's head went down sad thinking he hurt my feelings.
"I agree baby, Rosalie is very pretty isn't she?" Aidan smiled widely and nodded. "Rose how comes you don't have scratches like your bwother Jasper?" Rose looked stunned for a second but then smiled. "Because the bad people didn't get me" Aidan nodded but then crossed his little arms. "How comes you didn't stop them hurting jasper!" Aidan pouted and everyone smiled.
"Apowogise to Jasper he got hurt!" Rosalie wasn't shocked she thought it was funny but was serious; Emmett at this point couldn't contain his laughter. Rose turned to Jasper "I'm sorry Jasper that i didn't help you when the bad people came and hurt you and toke your horse" Jasper laughed. "That's quite alright Rosie" Everybody was giggling but it made Aidan happy. "Am i forgiven Aidan?" Aidan then giggled and nodded. "Yes, i fogive you wose just don't do it again" His voice was trying to be stern but it was just so cute Rosalie nodded.
He hugged her and then turned his head to see who else to talk to his eyes bulged out when he saw Emmett but he wasn't scared, he wriggled out of Rose's lap and went to Emmett but the poor thing had to arch his neck upwards because he was so big, Emmett smiled and picked him up. "Hey little dude, i'm Emmett do you like pranks?" Aidan's eyes were wide he looked at Emmett's muscles.
"Hewow Emmett yes, i like pwanks, but I'm not allowed, mommy would be angry! Won't you mommy?" He turned to me again. "No baby, you can play pranks just as long as they don't hurt anyone" Emmett smiled happily and Aidan cheered. "Tank you mommy, Emmy, how comes you look like a bear?" Emmett laughed. "Because bears are awesome, do you like bears Aidan?" Aidan shook his head. "no there scawy bears hurt people" Emmett pretended to be sad. "You think i'm scary?" Aidan gasped. "No! Emmy you not scawy you a nice bear! You a teddy bear don't be sad!" Emmett smiled again and cheered.
"Teddy bears are good!" Aidan laughed and gave Emmett a hug he looked at Edward and Bella and when Emmett put him down he practically ran to them, Bella and Edward were smiling at him, Aidan was staring at Edwards unusual bronze hair he smiled then climbed up on him and started to touch it he laughed and then touched Bella's hair they were giggling he then sat down between them and said hello with a huge dimpled smile.
"Hello to you too Aidan, i'm Edward, and this is Bella" Aidan was about to say something when Edward started to tickle him, Aidan started to squeal and was shouting no! Bella joined him and when he couldn't take anymore he sat up still laughing. "Bellsa save me fwom Edward!" Edward smiled widely while Bella held him in her arms. "Don't worry i'll protect you, i wont let the big scary tickle monster get you!" Edward pouted playfully while Aidan blew a raspberry at Edward.
"YAY Bellsa is a hewo" everyone smiled at him and was laughing then Bella stood up. "Aidan I have children of my own do you want to meet them?" Aidan smiled and nodded. Then Nessie, EJ, Masen and Lizzie stepped forward, they were all smiling at him and he hid in Bella's mahogany brown hair he was shy. "don't be shy Aidan they're really nice" Aidan then looked at them all and smiled Nessie stepped forward in front of Bella.
"Hi Aidan my name is Renesmee" Aidan blushed and smiled. "Hi wenesmee" he stretched out his arms to play with her hair Renesmee grabbed him and looked at her long hair he grabbed a strand and pulled it out then let go of it as it sprung back to it's original curl, he kept doing this for ages and was laughing then he looked at her eyes and smiled. "You have eyes like chocolate" Renesmee smiled and laughed.
"Do you like chocolate?"Aidan looked at her shocked. "Yes! Chocolate is yummy! Who doesn't like it?" everyone laughed knowing maybe half of the people in this room doesn't like it. "I like it as well" EJ then interrupted. "Nessie, i want to hold him!" Nessie glared and rolled her eyes, Aidan was happy. "Aidan this is my brother EJ" Aidan of course wanted EJ to hold him he then did the same with Edward he played with his hair.
"You have same hair as Edward but same colour as Bellsa's" EJ smiled, "Is it better than Edwards?" Edward playfully glared at his son, but Aidan as innocent as he is answered EJ's question. "Sowy EJ i like Edwards better!" EJ looked shocked but laughed, including everyone else Masen was trying to stop laughing, but then Aidan spoke again. "But you have better eyes than Edward! I like gween. Gween is my second favourite colour" EJ then smiled smugly, then Masen came over, Aidan then smiled. "Hewow what your name?"
Masen grabbed Aidan out of his arms and answered him. "My names Masen, do i have better eyes than my brother and sister?" Aidan then smiled. "You have bwone and gold, i only have bwone" Masen laughed a little, "Yeah i know. Yours is better than mine" Aidan thanked him and then said that everybody has nice eyes as he didn't want to make anybody upset. Lizzie was the last to greet him and he smiled widely.
"Aidan this is my baby sister Elizabeth" Lizzie glared harshly at Masen and everyone knew why but she didn't want to scare Aidan so she smiled sweetly at him. "Hello Aidan!" Aidan then was in Lizzie's arms. He did the same thing he played with Lizzie's hair and looked at her eyes. "You have blue eyes, like the sky, blue is another favourite colour!" Lizzie smiled happily, "Well thank you Aidan"
"you're welcome Ewizabeth" Aidan then yawned and rubbed his eyes, "Mommy i'm tired can i go sleep now?" Lizzie came over to me and gave me aidan back, i held him close to me, he was struggling to keep his eyes open, but he managed to say. "Good night evwyone, good night daddy, good night sopia, good night annie" everyone smiled and a melody of good night came and he yawned again, i slowly gripped around him a little, i then decided that he can sleep in mine and Chris's bed until we sort out the guest room as Aidan's room, i might need to go shopping tomorrow, with one hand i opened my bedroom door, i carefully pulled back the duvet and placed him on the bed, i tucked him in tightly and kissed him on the forehead. "na night mommy, i love you!" I smiled at him with such happiness, i never got to experience raising a child i have my daughters but they're grown and i never really experienced raising them as children, so this was like a message sent from god!.
if my heart could beat it would be beating fast, "I love you too my little man! See you in the morning" i left the door open a little bit, just in case he was scared of the dark, i stood outside for 5 minutes and his heart was steady so he was asleep, the clothes he was in would be okay to sleep in they were only little grey sweats and a black t shirt. As i went back downstairs the Cullens was still here, they were all smiling at me Sofie and Annie were happy they ran in my arms and hugged me. "I cant believe we have a little brother mom! Even though he came under horrible circumstances i'm still glad he's a part of this family now!" I smiled at the happiness i was getting from my daughters Chris was by my side for support. I kissed both my daughters and went over to the cullens.
"I'm sorry i'm sure that was difficult for all of you, i know what i'm doing is risky but i really didn't want to send him in care, i've experienced it and it's not nice that innocent, sweet little boy doesn't deserve that and i dread to think if he ever got adopted what sort of family he would grow up in" The cullens didn't look sad, angry or confused they were just smiling, Rose stepped forward.
"Lilly, it wasn't difficult for any of us, if i was in your position i would have done the same thing, i think what your doing is amazing, your a good woman Lilly" I smiled and hugged Rosalie. "Thank you Rosalie i'm sorry Jasper it must have been a bit awkward for you to answer Aidan about your scars" Jasper all but laughed. "Lilly it's okay, i was more surprised at how fearless he was, he just climbed onto the worlds most dangerous predators lap and started mimicking my accent, never in my years have i ever saw a human that fearless" Alice rubbed his arm for support and was smiling. It was a good thing that everybody loved him as much as i did.
i know that Aidan is 4 he wont have to start kindergarten until he turns 5 so i wouldn't have to worry about that, but i was so happy that i have two daughters and a son, who i can love as much as my daughters, watch him grow into a strong, handsome young man!, when he turns 18 and if he wants to be a vampire i wouldn't object it he would be old enough to make his own decisions if he wants to be human then as much as it would hurt i would allow him to.
2 hours had passed and the cullens left an hour ago, Nessie, Annie and Sofie are in Sofie's bedroom, Alice came back over not long ago and gave me at least 10 bags full of EJ and Masen's old baby clothes that would fit Aidan i told her that she didn't have to do that but she insisted and she said that Aidan would get more use out of them seeing as though Aidan grows very slowly compared to a hybrid so i thanked her, Chris has gone back out to hunt, i was full so i was okay, i was sitting on the bed next to aidan watching him sleep, i watched as his tiny chest moved up and down, but then i heard him whimper, i think he was having a nightmare, "Mommy don't leave me," I didn't know which mommy he was talking about, but i assume it was his biological mother.
little tears fell and Aidan whimpered more, "Mommy watch out the bad man will get you. MOMMY!" I think he was dreaming about the vampire that killed his parents i had to wake him up. "Aidan Shhh it's okay sweetheart everything is okay!, your safe now!" Aidan then woke up in a sudden panic but that only caused him to cry really loud, he turned around and vaulted into my arms, Sofie and Annie came bursting in with concern expressions they came and sat on the bed with me, Aidan's tears were soaking my blouse but i didn't care, i comforted him and rocked him back and forth, Sofie was twirling a strand of hair on her finger and Annie was rubbing his back soon enough he had stopped crying and was just sniffing aidan spoke weakly.
"Mommy, the bad man with wed eyes was twying to get me, you wouldn't let him get me, you told me it was okay but the bad man got you, he laugh, he hurt you!" I was surprised that the dream was about me. Aidan's heartbeat was racing so i tried to calm him down, i remembered a little song my mother used to sing to me, "Shh darling it's okay, nobody has hurt me, see, it was all a horrible dream baby!" Aidan hugged me tightly then looked up at Sofia he smiled tiredly Sofia smiled back at him she wiped the tear away from his cheek.
"Hey little man, you had a bad dream?, don't worry me and Annie are here to protect you, were your sisters, we will beat the bad man away!" Aidan smiled happily. "i have two big bisters?" i smiled happily at my children Aidan crawled to Sofia and he snuggled into her i thought it was because she was warm, then i started to sing.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
As i expected Aidan was sound asleep he curled into Sofia's arms and was sound asleep, i noticed that Nessie was in the doorway not sure to come in i smiled at her i opened my arms out for her she came over and sat next to me i wrapped an arm around her and was just staring at Aidan fast asleep, Annie then remembered something she quickly ran out the room and then not long after she came back with a stuffed teddy bear, it was cute, a big, light grey one.
"Emmett bought me one, this one was from Chris, i'm sure he wont mind me giving this one to Aidan" I smiled widely i am so happy that Annie wanted to help her little brother. So very carefully Sofia put Aidan back into the bed, he started to shift a bit, Sofie took the teddy from Annie and put the teddy bear in his arms, he smiled at the comfort and gripped tighter to the teddy. Sofie kissed his forehead, as did Annie and Nessie.
"Thank you girls! Come on it's late you 3 have school tomorrow" the girls smiled and nodded my girls hugged me wished me good night they whispered to Aidan that they loved him; Nessie gave me a hug and said good night to me. they all walked back into Sofie's room and they seemed to have settled down, not long after Chris came back, he followed my scent into our bedroom and smiled at the sight he walked over to me and kissed me on the lips, he went back out and grabbed black loose fitted sweats and went into the bathroom, he was having a shower. I turned my attention back to my little man, i heard nothing else from him, but he just looked so cute sleeping watching as small little lips parted and hearing his steady breath.
Chris came out the shower and he sat on the other side of the bed, Aidan was wedged between us, Chris was careful to not wake him, he then moved the curls out of Aidan's face and stroked his cheek, Aidan didn't move at his touch a little smile twitched on his face Chris looked at him with such Love. "Lilly how did we get so lucky?, this little boy though has had suffered loosing his biological parents, but has gained a loving family, he is just so perfect, now that i have two daughters i have been blessed with a son" I smiled proudly and gazed on my little soldier poor baby.
"I know honey, though i never experienced seeing my daughters grow up it is like god has given me a chance to be a mother to this child! I know you will be a wonderful father to Aidan Chris; you are a great father to the girls! I have no doubt you would love him the same" Chris reached out and kissed my hand.
Since me and Chris cant sleep all we did was watch Aidan sleep all night, i looked at the time it was 6.00 the girls would be waking up soon, then i watched as Aidan shifted, he then tried to open his eyes, he sat up and yawned, he rubbed his eyes and looked at both me and Chris and smiled he stood up on the bed with the teddy wrapped around his arm.
"Morning mommy, morning daddy" Chris smiled at this, "morning Aidan, how are you feeling?" Aidan stretched as far as he could and walked up to Chris and hugged him. "I am well tank you!" Chris hugged him and then started tickling him, Aidan giggled luckily he didn't squeal. "Daddy... no..." he giggled then sat back up when Chris stopped tickling him, then crawled over to me, "Mommy i need the potty" I nodded, i picked him up off the bed and toke him to the bathroom, since Aidan is potty trained he did it all by himself so i decided to run him a nice bubbly bath, the bath was big enough to fit 3 people i made sure that the water was warm and not burning hot, Chris walked in and gave me Aidan's rucksack which had his tooth brush, and tooth paste.
While the bath was running i brushed Aidan's teeth for him. I turned off the taps it was warm, aidan put his hand in and said it was nice, so i toke off his clothes he slept in and put it in the basket i picked him up and put him in the bath, there were a lot of bubbles in the bath so Aidan made little shapes with them, i grabbed a load of foamy bubbles and put it on his head he started laughing and put some on my face the bubbles popped on my skin, after the little play i got some nice smelly stuff to wash Aidan's skin with, his skin and his hair was all clean i went into the cupboard and got out a purple towel which i knew was his favourite he stood up and i wrapped him in a towel and while holding him i pulled the plug, me and aidan were in the bedroom i placed him on my bed.
I reached for the remote for my TV and switched it on to keep aidan occupied for a while Aidan wanted to watch SpongeBob so while he was enjoying that i dried him off with my towel i then put lotion on him then remembered the clothes alice gave me, i noticed that all these clothes were designer, i didn't want them to get ruined so i found all casual clothes that Aidan can get mucky in but they still looked expensive, i picked out denim blue jeans, a long sleeved grey top with cars on the front, a cute little hooded jacket and a pair of cute little black converses. As Aidan was changed i let Aidan's hair dry naturally i didn't need to put aidan's jacket and shoes on yet, Aidan was happy with the clothes.
"Mommy is sopia and Annie awake yet?" I smiled at him. "I'm not to sure baby; do you want to get them up for school?" Aidan beamed and nodded. He jumped off the bed and grabbed my hands he was so excited and eager. I got up. "Hold on sweetie i just need to put the towel in the basket" Aidan huffed impatiently so he grabbed the towel ran into the bathroom and chucked it in the basket.
"There! Come on mommy sopia and annie are going to be late" I laughed and shook my head. "Alright, alright i'm coming!" Aidan cheered and ran towards the door, he held onto my hand when we were outside Sofie's room Aidan was doing what Alice did and squeal. "Baby, don't squeal!" Aidan stopped and nodded. "Sowy mommy!" I smiled sweetly at him, and then opened the door Nessie, Sofie and Annie were sound asleep; i went over to open the curtains while my mischievous little boy climbed onto the bed and started jumping.
"SOPIA, ANNIE, WENESMEE! WAKE UP!" Nessie moaned a little but Sofie and Annie giggled, they yawned and opened their eyes Aidan then crawled onto Sofie's lap i realised that Aidan had brought the grey teddy with him. Annie was happy with the fact Aidan loved it. "Hey little man how you doing?" Aidan then giggled. "Daddy asked me that i'm well thank you, did you sleep well?" I stood proudly watching my children interact. Nessie had woken up fully and was smiling at Aidan. Annie answered him.
"Yes we did thank you, how did you sleep" Aidan looked a little sad. "Not too good" Then Annie gave him a little hug, then an aroma hit our noses it didn't smell particularly appetising but it seemed to do the trick with my children and Nessie. Aidan's stomach began to growl. "Is daddy making bwekfast mommy?" Aidan smiled happily. "I think so baby, come on let your sisters get ready and we'll go and see if he's made breakfast" Aidan stood up again and wanted me to carry him so i happily picked him up Aidan caressed the bear and was happy. I turned to the girls.
"don't worry girls you have plenty of time to get ready for school, just come down when your all ready!" The girls nodded, then i shut their door. Aidan was smiling at the teddy bear. "Have you thought of a name for your bear baby?" Aidan looked at me and nodded. "yes mommy, i decided to call him...Emmy" I laughed. "Emmett? Why Emmett sweetie?" Aidan looked at me with confusion. "Because Emmy is a good bear, i think he would like it if i named my bear after him" I nodded and smiled. "Emmy it is". When i strolled into the kitchen and i saw a sight i thought i would never see, Chris had flour and pancake batter over his face, Aidan couldn't stop laughing.
"Daddy you have flowa on your face" Chris couldn't stop laughing but it was cute what he did he made stacks of pancakes but he gave two to Aidan and a side of 3 small slices of watermelon and two streaks of bacon, with a small cup of milk. I placed Aidan in the chair and he started to tuck into his pancakes, Chris had cut them up into smaller pieces so it would be easier for Aidan to eat, i got up from my seat and hugged Chris. "That was sweet of you honey, come on i'll take it from here you get a shower your filthy" Chris laughed in agreement. "okay honey i won't be long" Chris gave me a peck on the lips and disappeared upstairs as i quickly swept the sides clean i plated up the food for annie, Sofie and Nessie, speaking of which they all came down the stairs no doubt anxious to see Aidan, when they came into the kitchen they all kissed aidan on the forehead he smiled but was busy eating.
"Hey mom, mm! They smell great!" I smiled at Annie. "hey sweetie, oh i didn't make them, your father did" the girls smiled and grabbed the plate, they all sat around the table with Aidan and they all moaned in delight. "When dad gets out the shower i'm going to have to thank him, these pancakes rock!" all the girls were laughing including me. Aidan then joined. "Daddy's pancakes are yummy!" Sofie smiled at him. "they sure are aidan!, i take it you like the bear" Aidan smiled widely. "Emmy!" everyone turned around expecting to see Emmett and looked at him confused i laughed out loud.
"No girls, Emmett isn't here he named the bear emmy!" The girls blushed and nodded. "Oh! Emmy is a good name for the bear, i'm sure Emmett will be happy you named him after it!" Aidan smiled happily. "Tank you mommy for the bear" "oh! Sweetie i didn't give you the bear Annie did" He turned to Annie and he climbed off the seat and went to hug Annie. Annie picked him up and kissed him on the nose. "Tank you Annie, i wuv you!" Annie gasped and hugged him. "your very welcome Aidan i love you too!" then Sofie and Nessie pretended to be hurt.
Aidan then smiled at them, "I wuv you to wenesmee, and you sopia" there smiles beamed and then they carried on eating Aidan was playing with his bear while sitting on Annie's lap, i was busy washing the dishes i saw that Aidan had eaten everything on his plate and drunk all his milk he must have been really hungry.
Then not long after Chris came back downstairs in his clothes he was off today so he was going to be here with me, that's when Aidan saw Chris and wriggled off Annie's lap and ran towards Chris he nearly tripped over but Chris caught him. "Daddy!, tank you for my bwekfast it was yummy!" Chris kissed him on the cheek and smiled happily. "I'm glad you enjoyed it little man! Come on lets watch some cartoons ay?" Aidan cheered he then started squirming when he forgot his bear Annie gave it to Chris and Aidan settled, Sofie and Nessie giggled.
"Wow he really loves that bear, that was nice of you Annie" Annie smiled happily. "I'm glad he likes it, i just can't believe how settled he is, he's just such a cute little boy, i don't want to go to school, mom" I knew what she was going to say and i'm not allowing it. "Annie no! You are not missing out on education just so you can stay home, i know Aidan is new to the family but you are not missing out on school on such a ridiculous reason" Annie pouted and it only caused the girls to giggle, when i finished the dishes and the girls cleaned up their plates it was time for the girls to go to school then on cue the door bell rang, Aidan then rushed with the bear in his arm and tried to open the door but with him being small he couldn't reach, i picked him up and answered the door and there stood Emmett.
"EMMY!" Aidan jumped out of my arms into Emmett's. Emmett laughed and hugged him. "Hey squirt, oh nice bear, whatchya call him?" Aidan smiled happily. "i named him Emmy" Emmett laughed and looked really happy. "Good choice kiddo!" he high fived Aidan and walked in the house. "Hey Lilly, I'm here to take the girls to school, are they ready yet?" I nodded. "Hello Emmett, they should be, GIRLS! Emmett's here!" There were quite loud bangs upstairs but eventually all the girls came down the stairs they had all their stuff and they hugged everyone goodbye, then Emmett gave Aidan back to me and said good bye to Aidan then they all walked out the house, Aidan looked a little upset but then he was fine when he was watching cartoons, i looked around the house and i noticed the house needed a good tidy up so while Aidan and Chris were watching TV i was cleaning the house half way through Aidan wanted to help me so the good boy that he is helped me clean the windows, after what seemed like hours the whole house was finally done.
it was now 10.00 and so i decided to get the supplies i would need for Aidan's room, but i thought i would invite Esme with me. so as Chris went to put Aidan's shoes and jacket on for me i went to call Esme's house, the phone rang twice and Esme answered the phone in such high spirits.
"Hello?"
"Hey Esme it's Lilly"
"Oh Hello dear nice for you to call how's the little one?"
"He is good thank you, listen the reason why i called is because i'm going to town today to get some supplies to fix up aidan's room would you want to come and help me pick some stuff, i've never really done this before and i would gladly use the company"
"Thank you for inviting me Lilly, i will be delighted to help you, i'll be over to you in 10 minutes! See you in a minute"
I smiled happily that Esme was willing to come and help me, when i walked back into the living area Aidan was sitting on the couch leaning on Chris they were both watching some football game I wasn't sure if it was a good idea for Aidan to take the bear with him.
"Aidan do you want to leave the bear with daddy?" Aidan looked at me worried. "Mommy i want to take Emmy" I winced. "Sweetheart what if you lose him" Aidan looked like he was about to cry. I felt guilty. "Oh sweetheart don't cry ok you can take Emmy with you but can you please promise me you'll be extra careful with it" Aidan then smiled happily again.
"Tank you mommy, i pwomise to look after him" I smiled and nodded, i quickly got changed into my casual skinny jeans and my favourite colour red polka dot blouse, i decided to leave my hair loose for once and slipped on my favourite pair of red heels to match i then grabbed my cute white cardigan to go over my blouse i thought it looked cute and casual, Aidan smiled happily at me. Aidan shook Chris.
"Daddy look, Mommy looks even pwettier" Chris laughed and gasped. "Yes i think mommy looks extremely pretty" I went over to my boys and kissed them both, i made sure i had everything i needed and eventually Esme was at my door Aidan and me kissed Chris goodbye and said we will see him later, i grabbed my car keys then i realised that i didn't have a car seat until Esme smiled and told me she had put it in the back of the Mercedes i couldn't thank Esme enough.
"Thank you so much Esme i really appreciate it"
"oh don't worry dear it was my pleasure!" I smiled gratefully at Esme i hugged her and then got my little man strapped in and made sure he had his bear, then in no time we were driving on the main road, i didn't want to drive quick since i had a 4 year old in the back seat i was driving within the speed limit and it didn't seem to bother Esme we were chatting about what colours Aidan would want, Aidan said he wanted purple and green, which was interesting but then i remembered he said that those two were his favourite colours.
Eventually after an hour and a half's drive we arrived in Port Angeles town! It was quite busy, i managed to get a parking space but it only caused people that were passing by to stare at my car, Esme seemed content Aidan was busy humming the song that i sang to him last night i'm surprised he remembered but i'm glad he liked it.
Aidan was cheering that we were finally here me and Esme laughed, as people were waiting to see who would come out the car Aidan was frowning. "What's the matter baby?" Aidan then looked at me. "People are stawing at us!" I laughed at his frustration. "Don't worry baby there just curious" Aidan then huffed Me and Esme opened the doors, then i could have sworn i heard gasps as i stepped out, but i just ignored it, i heard a couple of wolf whistles as men were walking past but all i did was get annoyed, then i opened the back door and unbuckled Aidan out of his car seat he smiled happily and toke my hand and jumped out the car i then heard a couple of awe's when people walked past i couldn't help but smile proudly at my little boy, Aidan was wearing the locket, i wanted Aidan to never forget where he came from and to never forget who his real parents were, as he was holding onto his bear for dear life and i locked my car me, Aidan and Esme made our way to home stores, me and Esme decided to order Aidan a king sized bed which was the same size as mine and Chris's bed it is scheduled to arrive the next day.
then we bought nice duvet covers to go on the bed, different purple and green patterns there were ones with cars on it, we then bought him massive treasure chest where he could keep some of his toys, it was dark purple, with a green lining since there was a walk in wardrobe already installed in the guest bedroom all we needed to get was different rugs, we also bought cute wall stickers for his room, they were animated frogs and lillpads they were really cute. When everything was paid for i looked for Aidan he had been jumping on the beds the member of staff had managed to get him off the bed.
"Pardon me miss, your son has been jumping on the beds!" I felt quite embarrassed. "I do apologise, I'll make sure it won't happen again" The member of staff seemed amused and was happy. "Oh don't worry he's such a happy little boy, he offered me to play with his teddy bear!" I laughed and Aidan smiled happily.
Esme had disappeared somewhere so i thanked the staff and holding Aidan's hand we went to find Esme. "Aidan sweetie please don't do that again, there not meant to be jumped on" Aidan then apologised. "Sowy mommy i won't do it again" I nodded, "Good boy" As i was walking down the street following Esme's scent i was astonished by how many people walked up to me. "Hello I'm sorry to bother you but your son is so cute, how old is he?" Aidan smiled his dimpled smile and waved. "He's 4" I didn't feel like announcing to strangers that Aidan isn't my biological son because to be quite frank it was nobody's business, the woman bent down and said hello he seemed shy at first but then he was really talkative.
As we said goodbye to the stranger me and Aidan followed Esme's scent to a paint and decorating shop she was there looking at paints, i smiled as she saw me walk in with a smile on her face she went to speak to Aidan. "Aidan i am selecting paints what shade of purple and green would you like?" Aidan stared at all the different shades and he saw one in particular and it was a similar shade to Sofia's eyes and he said that one, then he picked out a green that was nearly the same shade as EJ's, i got to admit they were good colours Esme looked at me. "Are you okay with the colours Lilly?" I smiled happy. "Of course Esme, thank you!" Esme smiled her warm motherly smile this time i offered to pay for it.
i looked at the time i realised we had been here for quite a while and Aidan was getting hungry so i toke him to a food court, on the way there were a group of men they were staring at me or should i say eye fucking me, but they soon turned their attention elsewhere when they saw that i was mother, when we actually got to the food court i couldn't help but feel like everybody's eyes were on me, Aidan didn't really feel comfortable so he wanted me to pick him up.
Esme said that she was going to sit down; i nodded and turned my attention to Aidan. "What do you want to eat baby?" Aidan was concentrating hard and smiled. "can i have a McDonald's pwease?" I couldn't say no so i smiled at him and nodded. "Sure baby" as i walked over to where McDonald's was, the line was quite long but it didn't bother me, Aidan was making the wait quicker, he was a very talkative child, suddenly i felt a tap on my shoulder, i turned round and it was a very handsome young man he was tanned, short, dark cropped hair, he looked at least 26 years old he smiled lustfully at me, Aidan shied away from him and hid in my neck.
"Hi beautiful what's your name?" Okay is this guy serious, i raised my eyebrows but i answered his question out of politeness. "Lilly and you are?" the young man seemed a little dazed somehow. "the names Darren, are you single?" I couldn't help but laugh, plus Aidan looked angry.
"Hey! Mommy is with my daddy! So go away!" I laughed as Darren looked a little startled. "Aidan! That was rude, apologise" Darren smiled. "No it's alright he's just protective of his mommy, i do apologise Lilly i didn't realise a beautiful girl like you would be taken" I nodded and smiled, Aidan also looked a little upset. "Sowy mommy" I kissed him on the forehead and nodded.
"It's okay baby" Aidan then happily played with his teddy, i only had to wait another 10 minutes and i was already at the front of the queue, i had to put Aidan down so i could carry his food i thought i'd treat him to an ice-cream also, for appearances i bought me and Esme some bottled water yuck! Aidan saw Esme and ran to where she was sitting he climbed next to her and she was happily chatting with him.
I sat opposite watching both of them and placed the food in front of Aidan he gave the teddy to me and started tucking into his food. "Tank you mommy" i nodded and smiled at him, i turned my attention to Esme. "Esme thank you so much for helping me, by the way is there a toy store anywhere? I really think Aidan could use with some new toys to play with and some new clothes" Esme looked delighted and nodded.
"It's okay dear, yes i believe there is a large toy store here, we can go after when Aidan is finished eating" i nodded appreciatively, Aidan then spoke up. "Mommy when Sopie and Annie coming home?" "Later on baby" Aidan sighed sadly. "I miss my sisters" I couldn't help but smile widely. "Awe baby, they'll be back before you know it, I'm sure they miss you very much too" Aidan giggled and carried on eating. Esme spoke up again. "I can't believe how settled in he is, and the fact he's already calling you mommy how do you feel about it all?" I sighed happily i was staring at my little man with proudness.
"Me neither, i mean when i look back now what if we wasn't there, i couldn't imagine anything happen to him, i'm so happy he's calling me mommy, but i'm going to make sure that when he gets older when he understands that yes i am his mother but not his real mom, i've made sure that he wears that locket that has a picture of his biological parents so he knows where he came from you know, i don't want him to forget his real parents but honestly Esme i feel blessed, i feel like god has given me another chance to be a mom again! And the fact that the girls love him and Chris absolutely adores him is just mind boggling; i mean we have 3 children now!" Esme looked so happy for me she got up out of her seat and gave me a hug, Aidan even got up out of his seat and climbed onto my lap with a little help from me, his cute little dimpled smile and his cute big, bright hazel brown eyes shone at me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you mommy" My dead heart melted. "I love you to baby so much!" Aidan smiled his dimpled smile that would melt the beating hearts of the living and happily finishing his food, two hours had passed and we were finally driving back home, Aidan got a lot of new clothes, and a hell of a lot of new toys to play with, i decided to buy Chris some new clothes i figured he may need some, Esme bought herself some new clothes and some for Carlisle, Aidan was so tired that he fell asleep ages ago with his bear tucked securely underneath his arm, Esme and me were in a peaceful silence.
"Thank you so much for coming with me Esme, if you didn't come i wouldn't have known what to buy, this is all so new to me, i appreciate it" At first i felt that Esme was like a mother but the more I've got to know her i feel like she's more like a sister to me. Esme smiled happily and looked so happy that i asked her to come.
"Your very welcome Lilly, i was glad to be of assistance, would you want some help with decorating Aidan's room?" I was surprised but i didn't mind, i would like an extra pair of hands. "Are you sure? I mean if you've got other things to do i don't want to keep you from anything" Esme laughed.
"I can tell where Sofia gets her self-less attitude from, Lilly i don't mind, i'm happy to help" if i could blush then i would have done, at least Sofia is like me through and through she has a heart of gold and she doesn't have any trace of HIM in her, which i thank god every day for, i knew when i carried her that she was going to be good, more like me than that monster!. i admit the only feature that Sofia has of him is her nose and shape mouth but that's it. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Aidan yawned and awoke; i smiled when i could hear him in the back shuffling in his car seat. Esme greeted him.
"Hi Aidan were nearly home now dear" Aidan smiled tiredly and looked at me through the mirror. "Hi mommy, we neawy home now?" I'm going to need to teach him how to pronounce his 'R's soon but it's just so cute. "Yes baby, nearly there do you still have Emmy?" Aidan looked around and started to squirm. "Mommy Emmy is on the floor i can't weach him" he was starting to feel uncomfortable but lucky enough Aidan didn't have to squirm too much as i pulled up to the familiar cottage that Esme happily let me and my family live in, i quickly dashed out of the car and at the same time toke Aidan out of his seat and gave him his bear he was happy again and wanted me to put him down.
