Luna (Empress continued)

Little Sister (Liam POV)

Liam POV

The first time I see Sky, I have some very conflicted feeling about this tiny thing who is, I guess, supposed to be my sister?

Anyways however that works.

She is.....not that ugly. But the  wrinkly baby fat is kinda.....gross.

"Liam," Daddy yells from the kitchen, "Do you want to come see the baby?"

I shake my head and refocus my attention back on the TV, what is the point of going all the way over there to see a ball of fat that will some day grow up to be my sister. I've got all my life to 'spend time' with her. 

And I'm not to sure if I am looking forward to it. Being an only child wasn't bad.

But now, without my consent my mother and father have gotten another child from the storks.

Shameful.

. . . . . 

I tiptoe out into the living room and over to the crib.

I peer in.

She's awake, her eyes wide open. 

I stick my tonge out at her and she giggles. 

I decide that maybe I might not hate her. But that doesn't mean like her either.

I reach my hand the crib bars and squeeze her small feet.

She lets out a shreik and pulls her foot back.

The door to my parent room opens and daddy walks out looking tired, "Liam, what are you doing?"

"Um." I start inching away from the crib. "Nothing."

"Why aren't you in your bed?" Daddy puts his hand on the side of the crib and looks in.

"I was getting some water." 

"Oh really," Daddy pulls Sky out of her crib to hold her in his arms, "That would definitely explain why you were standing right next to the crib after she screamed."

"You don't know that I did anything." I cross my arms.

"Right." Daddy says eyeing me.

"What."

"Why are you still out here?"

"Because I am trying to figure out why you and the storks had to conspire against me by getting her."

"Storks?" Daddy says like it is a ridiculous idea.

I glare at him, why does he think playing dumb with me is an option. "Yes, Storks daddy. Mommy told me all about them."

Daddy smiles, "Right the storks, well we wanted this baby from" he glances at me sideways, "the storks because when to people love each other very much the storks give them a baby."

"You love mommy very much?"

Daddy nods, "Yes."

I scrunch my nose and start walking to my door. "I'm going to bed."

"One day you are going to love somebody very much." Daddy says quietly setting Sky back into her crib.

I stick my tongue out at daddy.

He grins, and sticks his tongue  back out at me. 

That's the last of Cresswell (until the Epilogues)
