Chapter 1.53: Don't Leave Me

"Papa, I have question," Rylan said, looking at Seth like he was their sons hero. I had to admit that I was terrified the first time I ever held him, and was so unsure about being a seventeen year old mother. I got lucky, really lucky with Seth being the pillar that held me up when I wanted to quit and Valentine always encouraging me.

"Yeah, Ry?" Seth asked the four year old.

"Do Xena live on spaceship?" Rylan asked. I laughed, and Seth smiled; he was our little burnt marshmallow. I still remembered telling my own mother that I must be a burnt marshmallow because of my black hair.


"Hmm, that's a good question. What do you think honey?" Seth asked, grinning. He was such a good father to our son, it really warmed my heart to see them together. I watched as Seth helped him out of his pajamas and into cute little super man outfit.

"Well, I think she lives on a spaceship house," I said teasingly. Rylan frowned, and I smiled as I knelt down to pick him up.

"Silly mama! Only have spaceships!" Rylan said giggling. I made a face, and carried my son downstairs as he still didn't like stairs sometimes. "Work today?" he asked.

"Yeah, mama and papa have work today," Seth told him as he followed us downstairs.

"NO! Stay here," Rylan said, sniffling. I sighed, we went through this every morning Seth and I had to work. He didn't understand that we couldn't play with him every day all the time, and if I was being honest I was almost out of patience with him.


"Now come on Ry, we talked about this," I said, looking up as Seth headed towards the door for work. "Heading out?" I asked him. It was great how he was leaving me with this and not even saying anything to help. I sighed, and blew him a kiss.

"Yeah, got to be there early today," Seth said, and blew a kiss back. "Rylan, be good for Aunty Val. I'll see you guys when I get off tonight," he said and then he walked out the door.

"Papa, misses you," Rylan yelled after him sniffling.

"Ry baby, it will be ok. He'll come back," I said as he turned to look at me with a frown. He shook his head and kept on sniffling. "Come on, lets go upstairs and play with some blocks before mama has to leave for work," I said going upstairs. I watched over my shoulder as he followed behind me and then helped him set up the blocks,

Chapter 1.47: A Tragic Past

Tabitha "Daddy, can we talk?" I asked. I kept thinking about what I overheard mother saying to this boy, and I couldn't believe it. If what she said was true, then I had two siblings I didn't know about and it was kind of upsetting. All I've ever been told was that I was an only child, and now it's like my whole world turned upside down. "Yes sweetheart?" Daddy asked, smiling at me. I always loved how he talked to me, like I was the only thing that mattered. I smiled, but then shook my head. "Who are Joseph and Valentine?" I asked. I wasn't sure what I was expecting to hear but I sure didn't expect to see the color drain from his face. He looked genuinely afraid, but of what? "Where did you hear about them?" Daddy asked me, and I frowned. "Mother was talking to someone, I think his name was Hayden or something?" I asked, shrugging. The boy wasn't important but the names were, the names of

Authors Note: This chapter starts Serene into the story, or more accurately her point of view. Now that Toby is dead, she officially gets her debut! Also, their wonderful new house they live in is thanks to Glenkarri from the D.N.A team! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mama decided it was best if they move, because papa and the old house was too sad. The old house was filled with the haunting old tunes of the piano, the laughter from when he told us silly jokes and the sweet sound of his voice when he read her bedtime stories. This house, it meant nothing to Serene. It wasn't where her papa was, and it wasn't where she wanted to be.    This house made her feel so lonely, so alone. She had been so sad, and cried all the time at first but now she was angry. She was so angry at her mama; it was all her fault that papa died. Serene had heard something, a very bad something and it changed everything.  --------------

Valentine "Umm, I don't know. I wasn't there when my papa died. Why are you asking all these questions?" Serene asked me. I couldn't really tell a ten year old that I wasn't sure why her father died. Hell, I couldn't tell her anything because I didn't want her to say anything to anyone. The last thing I needed was something to happen to Isobel's little sister. "Just making sure everything in the case is all good to go," I said, smiling. I really hoped Serene isn't that bright, maybe my bullshit lie won't be seen through and I can convince her not to worry. "Really, I'm just doing my job. Rookie work, ya know?" I said. "So, nothing new came up?" Serene asked. I had to admit I was surprised by her question, maybe she knew something wasn't adding up and she could help me. "You live with my sister right?" she asked. "Yeah," I answered. "Keeping her safe?"
