The Only Son

Chapter IX

Alexander couldn't help, but smile a little as he watched Karl peacefully snore away in his sleep.

Feeling tired, Alexander soon fell asleep as well. Sadly the sound of soft snores was interupted by loud screaming coming.

The sudden loud noise made Karl shoot up, awake yet wildly confused. Looking beside him, he noticed Alexander spasming and shaking his head, broken cries escaping his mouth and they weren't good cries.

"Alex! Alex! Wake up!" Karl shouted, he grabbed Alexander, who opened his eyes at the feeling of hands on his body, Karl was taken aback at the sudden coal black eyes of Alexander and the fact that Alexander hissed at him.

"Let go"

Karl released Alexander immediately and held his hands up as a sign of surrender. Taking a deep breath Alexander came back to his senses.

"What happened?! Did I do anything?!" Alexander asked, his voice quivering and broken. Karl frowned and shook his head, the confermation relieved the tension from Alexanders muscles.

"You had a nightmare, a bad one I'd say" Karl said and moved to put his hands of Alexanders shoulders as a comfort, ignoring the fact that the two were as naked as the day they were born.

"Could you please tell me what happened? In your nightmare?"

Alexander started shivering at the thought of it and Karl was quick to wrap Alexander in a hug, shushing him and gently rubbing his back, trying not to put any hard pressure on the many bruises covering Alexanders hips, neck and shoulders.

"I-... There was a man, in the village. He wasn't local and he... He was looking for his daughter, but Mother Miranda had done something to her... He started killing the other lords and my sisters... He hurt us" Whilst talking, Alexander absentmindedly started carassing his stomach.

Karl was silent for a moment, it was a bit too specific for a regular nightmare and being able to remember a nightmare in such detail wasn't normal either.

"We're going to be just fine, you, Sommer and I, are going to be just fine" Karl said placing his hand gently on Alexanders hand, on the males stomach.

"Sommer?"

"Yeah, Sommer, our little ball of sunshine" Whilst Karl softly traced the scar on Alexanders stomach, Alexander realized what Karl was talking about.

"I like it" Alexander murmured and caught the grin on Karls face as Karl placed a tender kiss near Alexanders belly button.

"You're going to look even more beautiful when you're all swollen up with our child" Alexander let out a chuckle at Karls corny lines, his hand softly petting Karls silver hair.

"You use those lines of every person?"

"A person could only dream of me talking to them"

The two had their laughs and somehow it led to them talking about taking care of Sommer, how they would make a seperate room for him, a soundproof room that is, no need for him to hear all the loud machinery in the factory.

Actually the thought of living in a regular neighbourhood, in a town in Germany didn't sound so bad either. They could only imagen a fresh start, no pushy mothers or lycans or creepy experiments.

"What colour would you think the baby room would have?"

"He is named after the season, so might as well make it yellow, like the sun during summer"

"We're going to make the entire theme of the room the sun?"

The two continued discussing the little details that would be in their home. They didn't even realize that they sounded like a married couple and the fact that they kept talking for hours.

Meanwhile a male, named Ethan Winters shot up in his bed. He was covered in sweat and looked around in panic.

The female next to him, Mia Winters, also got up from the sudden movement.

"Ethan?... What's wrong?" Mia's voice was groggy and laced with confusion. Ethan greedily took in air and froced himself to act calm, telling himself to reassure his wife and go back to sleep.

"It's nothing! S-sorry for waking you up, Mia. Go back to sleep, I'll grab some water and join you soon" Mia frowned a little, the memories of the Baker's was still freshly printed in their brains. Mia nodded hesitantly and laid back down, closing her eyes and falling asleep again.

Ethan had gotten out of bed and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. Writing down what he had seen in his nightmare, he was required to do this by his therapist and Chris.

His nightmare, it had nothing to do with the Baker's or anything that happened, but it felt so real and so painfull.

The two men, they suffered so much in his dream. They lived in a small village, surrounded by snowy mountains and a large castle built close to it.

They weren't normal, both of them could do abnormal stuff, which was already to much of a call back for Ethan.

The thing that changed his opinion was the fact that one was pregnant, at least the signs said so, quite frankly Ethan didn't know how a man got pragnant nor does he want too. The male was admittedly beautiful and his partner was no less handsome.

The nightmare truly started once the pregnant male started screaming and crying. He was sitting on a wooden floor, looking defeated.

Blood drenched the floor and a puddle had formed beneath the male, who was now scratching his stomach and screaming, he kept screaming until he couldn't scream anymore.

He had a miscarriage, the thought of it made Ethan want to vomit. The male collapsed of exhausting, the tears never seemed to stop streaming down his face however.

The sight then skipped to the male sitting on his knees in deep snow, in front of a grave stone. The words weren't clear to Ethan, but what was clear was that the male was obviously left to be on his own.

Ethan hadn't seen anybody near the male since the miscarriage in his dream. The thing that made Ethan wake up and give him the need to grab a gun was when the male turned to him, with a friendly smile.

"You're so lucky" Ethan didn't know why he looked down, but he did. Something that seemed incredibly similair to a fetus laid at his feet.

He kept staring at it, until it started moving. Crying and screaming.

"My sweet baby"

The male, that was once sitting in front of the grave, grabbed hold of him. He took Ethans face in his hands and his smile seemed to turn more and more sinister.

"Please... help... Bring him back... Please"

Everything faded to black and Ethan had woken up.

Ethan never wanted to see anything like that in his life again. He had seen more than enough missery at the Bakers house.

Thank god he and Mia were starting over fresh in Europe, he couldn't wait to get away from... All of this.

Hopefully he would have no more encounters with the mold or people like the Bakers.
