Lived Life to its Fullest

Chapter 17

Later that day....

Kaitlin was in her room when she got called downstairs. She walked down into the living room. "Who's calling me." She asked standing near the wall. "I am dear." Euphemia said patting the seat next to her. "Come sit." She said.

"I'm I in trouble I haven't done anything-No dead your not." She said cutting her off. "Are you sure cause it feels like I've done something wrong." She said. "Kaitlin-You know what I'll just go back to the room-Kaitlin dear." Euphemia said cutting her off.

"Sorry." She said looking down with tears in her eyes. "Come here." She said as she hesitantly sat down next to her. "Your not in trouble Kaitlin." Euphemia said reassuring her. "Y-You sure." She said as she put her head in her hands. "I'm sure now I was calling you to spend time with you but seems like your tired." She told her running her fingers through her hair.

"How much sleep have you've been getting." She asked her. "Don't worry I won't get mad." She added. "Like eight hours." "A night." "Um no since last night was the last time I slept." She said honestly most nights she couldn't sleep or when she did she would get nightmares and wake up not being able to fall asleep.

"Go to sleep dear." Euphemia told her. "You sure like you said you wanted to spend-That can wait get some sleep." She said as she laid her head in her lap as Euphemia ran her fingers through her hair. "Don't worry I'll be right here." She told her placing a blanket over her as she slowly shut her eyes drifting off into her sleep.

Euphemia studied her features while she slept and hummed a lullaby she use to sing to James  and Harry when they were kids. About thirty minutes go by and James walked into the living room. "Mom have you seen Kat-Never mind what happened." He asked cutting himself off.

"She was tired so she fell asleep." She said leaving minor details out. "Was she ok." He asked. "Yeah don't worry she's all fine." She told him as he sat down next to her putting her feet on his lap. "She looks like you." She said. "Yeah I know the moment I saw her I knew she was mine but I didn't have proof so I had to force the proof to come out of the devil it's self." He said.

"I'm just mad she had to grow up like that. I should've been their for her growing up like I was for Harry she had to watch all of her sisters die and I don't know how to help her all thanks to her." He said referring to Dawn. "Give her time James she'll come around." She told him.

"I know last week when she got sick she was scared to call me dad I reassured her it was fine." He said. "Now she calls me dad not when everyone is around like when it's just us two she'll call me dad she's still getting use to here not having so many rules to follow through with." He said. "I've noticed that outside today I don't think she saw us out their but she was calling you dad she's warming up."

Euphemia told him. "She warmed up to Lily faster than she did with me." "James give her time she'll warm up to you don't worry." She told him as he hummed in response laying his head on her shoulder shutting his eyes falling asleep as well as she sighed. She kissed the side of his head letting them rest the both of them.

Another thirsty minutes went by and everyone walked into the living room. "That's where they are." Lily said sitting down. "What's wrong." Euphemia asked her. "Nothing just I've been looking them." She said. "Kaitlin has been asleep for almost an hour and James came like thirty minutes ago and fell asleep."

She told them as they nodded their heads. "They look tired." Sirius said. "They both are neither one of them has been getting the best sleep these past nights I usually find him in her room watching her sleep or find him asleep in her chair near her bed and she has not been getting any either.

Most nights it's nightmares some she don't sleep theirs been a time where I had to put a sleeping pill in her drink so she'll sleep at night." Lily said. "Don't worry dear they'll get better sleep soon just give her time to adjust and once she's adjusted he'll be fine." Euphemia told them as she nodded her head.
