She sat up on his lap and took a strand of his hair. He was amused untill....
" Ahhh..... don't pull it!"
She only blinked twice with the look of complete innocence on her face. But, oh he could see the smile hiding behind her eyes.
She slid of his and ran across the room.
Tamlin thought that she was finally running away from him. Finally coming to her senses until a little head appeared from behind door and blinked twice. As if she was waiting for him.
"Shit." he realized he had to feed her again. How much did these little things eat. He had no motherly instinct. Wait! They did drink milk, didn't they? But, up until what age? He got up and went to the door.
The sudden touch of his hand left him in shock as the little girl put her tiny hand around his finger and pulled him slightly.
"Food, Ohh yes."
" You want more milk?" Her eyes widened and she smiled as she shook her head.
"Okay lets get you some milk then shall we."
They walked to the kitchen and he put her on the table.
He heated a glass.
She gave it back.
He heated. She returned.
Untill there was no more milk.
She held out her glass expectantly.
"There's no more milk." He said as he laughed at her. She only narrowed her eyes as she put the glass to her side. She leaped off the table giving Tamlin a near heart attack.
She grabbed the glass jar which had contained the milk and shook it upside down frantically. Nothing but a few drops came out dripping on the cobblestone.
The edge of her lip curled a bit as she held it out to Tamlin. Giving him her full on puppy eyes.
He rolled his eyes and smiled. " You're evil do you know that."
She just gave an innocent smile looking down and then back up at him.
"Fine I'll go get you some milk. But by the looks of it I'd need to get you some clothes too and maby find out who your parents are."
Se gave him a look of confusion and then skipping down to the hall.
She stopped and then as she was looking at him she ran back to him and hugged his leg. At that moment Tamlin could've sworn she melted his very heart.
****
He had to get her some more food- other than milk. He smiled at himself. But, he couldn't just leave her alone in the manor. Who was going to look after her.
Maby he could ask someone passing by? No it wasn't safe to let a stranger look after her.
So he said to her.
" You have to stay inside the manor if you want more milk. I'll go get more and I'll be back but please stay inside and don't open for strangers."
She just nodded and went of to do who knows what.
He just smiled at the little blond girl skipping down the manor. He'd have to clean it up soon. He couldn't let her get hurt.
So he closed the doors with the most wreckage inside. Proofing the manor of windowing for the first time In months.
He looked back over his shoulder. He'd brave the town. Just for her. For Dawn!
As he entered the village the wispers started. He didn't care. After the lies and to be honest some were even truths Feyre spread he expected nothing less from his people. If they wanted to chase him out with pickforks and knives they were bloody welcome to! But, before they could he was going to get dawn damn food and some decent clothing.
He walked in at the information centre. Everyone was so shocked to see him. But, he didn't care.
" Has anyone lost a child or has a child missing after the Hybern war?"
That was almost a year ago ..... I'll have to check!"
Disgust and curiosity lingered in her voice but she did wat was asked.
" Boy or a girl?"
" Girl. Ash blonde hair with bright teal eyes."
" Nope ! Not in the spring court but we can find out in the other courts?"
" No, that's not necessary. Thank you." She just nodded her head as Tamlin walked out.
He wouldn't involve strangers in this yet. Not until he knew where Dawn had come from. He could use any contacts he still had in the other courts to find out. But, for now He'd have to get her some food.
Tamlin got as much food as he could and as promised.
Milk.
He got her little dresses and pants. Tops he didn't know what she'd wear so he got it all and threw in some stuffed toys.
He put it in a winowing pocket to avoid raising any more suspicion and at this moment he wished he had Rhysands powers just to get that curious gleam out of their eyes as he paid and left. He winowwed straight to the stairs of the manor afraid that he'd left Dawn alone for too long.
He'd found her in the gallery with all the shredded paintings. Some Feyre's
.... piecing them together like puzzle pieces.
She turned and smiled at him as she ran and jumped into his arms. He let out a chuckle.
"You've been busy little one." he said as he booped her nose and she let out a little giggle. A sound so sweet so innocent. A sound so soothing and joyous no angelic instrument could compare to it.
He took her to the kitchen with all the supplies. Her little mouth nearly fell to the ground as she gaped at all the food and tried to jump out of his arms.
Tamlin laughed. "Not all at once."
He picked her up again placing her on the table. Handing her a pastry. Her eyes widened and stars twinkled in them as she took a bite of it.
She ate it and reached for one more and Tamlin gave it to her.
She reached for another but he just picked her up.
" Slow down. You'll give yourself a tummy ache." He said as he booped her nose.
Wanna go see your clothes and toys. She looked confused but just nodded her head anyway as Tamlin carried her in his arms.
He went unto the most usable bedroom he had where all the clothes layed.
She sat on the bed not knowing what to do.
" Ohhh boy, you don't know how this works? Shit-.....stickles neither do I lets. Just try and figure this out.
He took of her little shredded cape. She'd been to tired and hungry last night so He'd just let her sleep. As he took of her little shirt rage filled him and threatend to boil hum over.
There across her tummy was an huge old knife wound. The fact that it left a mark on her Fae body told him that she'd have to be very young when it happened and it had to have been bad. The thought of someone harming her made him want to rip that bloody bastard to ribbons. Goodness if she was nearly two now she was still.....a babe! Someone did this too her as a babe!
He pulled a looser sweater around her. But, now it was time for the real problem. One she didn't have a diaper. He could smell it .......... and the bigger problem.
HE had NO idea how to put one on.
