Chapter 15: Loving Family
In the middle of the night of an Amazonian home on Themyscira, a white-haired boy carrying his little sister was staring at his adoptive aunt and was about to answer her question until he heard a sound.
"Artemis, what is going on it's the middle of the night?" Alexa asked her sister.
When Alexa exited the hallway and looked into the Living room. She noticed that her adoptive son was carrying something in his arms.
"Lincoln, what are you carrying and why did you come back now and not until the morning?" Alexa asked her son.
Lincoln looked at her and said, " This here is my baby sister Lily and I left because I couldn't be with those people anymore."
Alexa looked at her son and the sleeping baby in his arms and said, "What did they do to you?" She asked concerned and nervous of what they done to him to make him leave and take his baby sister.
"I was called bad luck by my sister Lynn, after she lost her baseball game and she blamed me for her lost and she spread the rumor among my family and after that my parents made me sleep outside for four days. Then tonight I realized I couldn't be with these people so I left and I took Lily, because I didn't want it happening to her."
Both Alexa and Artemis looked at him with shocked expressions on their face with a mix of anger with the shock. Before Lincoln could say anything else, Alexa ran up to Lincoln and hugged him tightly saying,
"How dare they do that to you, those people are monsters. I hope they regret everything they ever did when they find neither of you tomorrow."
" Maybe that sister you call Lynn and your birth parents can have a taste of my blade." Artemis spoke out of anger."
"No!" Both of said in agreement.
"Lincoln you look sick, tomorrow I'll take you down to the healing rays and we'll have you feel better." Alexa told him
Before anyone could say anything else, Lily began to cry after being disturbed by them. Alexa picked up Lily from his arms and tried to calm her down.
"Shh, it's okay don't cry little one." She looks at Lincoln and said, "You know Lincoln you to cry a lot when you were a baby."
"It's true, I had many sleepless nights when you first came into our family." Artemis supported Alexa's statement.
"To add to that Lincoln, you used to crawl out of your crib and sleep in our beds whenever you had nightmares." Alexa said to him.
All of them were talking, until all of them yawned. They decided after that, they would go to sleep. Lincoln walked up to Alexa and asked, "Can me and Lily sleep with you for tonight."
Alexa responded saying, "Of course." Three of them walked to the bed and laid down in it. Lincoln had Lily sleeping on his chest and he fell asleep soon after. Alexa looked at them both and kissed them on their head saying, "I love you two." Before falling asleep, she said to herself, "Lily will have a great time here.".
