You escaped the Institute with Max and the gang when Jeb took them. Now, you work at a daycare and you are taking care of a baby until her mother picks her up. S/N only lets you take care of her. One afternoon, her older brother picks her up and you are keeping S/N calm with your wings. She's fascinated by them. C/N is a biology student.
"Y/N, can you go to room 3? They are having trouble with S/N," I stood and went to the classroom. S/N was crying and the new girl was holding her out.
"I've feed her, changed her, burped. Everything. She's still crying," I picked up the fussy baby and held her to me.
"First of all, if you're panicking, she will feed off of that. Sometimes, she just wants to be held," I looked down and she had already calmed.
"Have you always been around babies? Your so good with the kids," I tried to not react as memories of my first several of years in the Institute flooded my mind.
"No, I am an only child with not much family left," I shrugged. "I better go," I tried to give S/N back and she started tearing up. " I guess she will be with me," I took S/N to a small room and she reached over my shoulder and pat my back.
"Do you want to see my wings?" She cooed. I took off my jacket and raised my wings slowly. She ran her hand down my wing and giggled. I'm glad someone could enjoy them. A few minutes go by and the door opens. A guy walks into the room and the door shuts behind him. He stares behind me and S/N reaches for him. I finally get over my shock and lower my wings behind me.
"Who are you?" I found a book on the table just in case.
"My name is C/N. I'm S/N's older brother. I didn't mean to startle you. Your coworkers said you are usually in here," I stood.
"I'm sure they already told you but I'm Y/N. I'm usually with the older kids but S/N seems to like me and they call me when there's problems," He nodded.
"Mom's told me about you. Is that a bird behind you?" He walked closr and I tried to hide my wings. The one time I couldn't get my jacket on. I held S/N on my hip and she tugged one of the wings out.
"Must have been..." He stood to the side and looked over my wings in awe.
"Your wings are beautiful. Were you born with them?"
"If I tell you anything, you have to promise to not say anything about them to anyone. It's not everyday you come across a mutant and who knows what would happen if someone gets ahold of me."
"I promise. I won't say anything," I explained that I grew up with a group who also had wings like me. The Institute would conduct experiments on us and we finally escaped. They send out half men half wolves to hunt us down but with lower numbers since the last time we attacked the Institute, they weren't sending many Erasers at this point. I looked down at the baby still in my arms and she was reaching for her brother.
"That's terrible. At least you are safe now," he took S/N in his arms and she turned. She pointed at me then at her brother.
"Do you want me to go with you?" She nodded and pouted. "I wish I could."
"I'm sure mom would love to have you come over. We are having Fav/Food."
"I'll stop by my apartment first then be over by 5?" He nods and S/N started crying.
"No. Now, " she leaped out of his arms and into mine. We both stared at her in stuned silence.
"Has she spoken before today?" We both asked and she beamed.
"Not that I'm aware," C/N said.
"Me either."
"We can drive you to your apartment then go to our house. Does that work for you?" He looked at the little girl who nodded.
"Works for me," I grabbed my jacket, clocked out, and I grabbed my bag. I'm glad I was already scheduled off. We went inside my apartment and I changed into jeans and a nice shirt. I heard S/N crying in the next room and I opened the door. C/N turned and S/N reached for me.
"She won't stop crying," I took S/N from him and she calmed. She cooed and yawned.
"Lead the way," By the time we got to the car, S/N was asleep, her fingers curled into my shirt. We drove a few blocks and C/N knocked on the door. Mrs. L/N opened the door and smiled.
"I'm so glad you are back from LA. I missed you so..."
"Mom," C/N said and she quit hugging him. "I brought someone for dinner," her gaze rested on me and S/N.
"I am so glad you were able to come to dinner, Y/N. Come inside, " we went inside and twin boys raced downstairs. "James, Jack? What have I told both of you about running in the house," C/N had looped an arm around my waist and held me against him when the twins ran through. He led me into the living room, pulling his arm away from me, and we sat on the couch. S/N had woken up and reached for C/N, who took her in his arms. Mrs. L/N came into the room and handed C/N a bottle. C/N went to start feeding S/N but she pushed the bottle away.
"You never turn down a bottle," I shook my head, smiling.
"Do you want a bottle?" S/N reached for me and I took her from C/N's arms. He handed me the bottle, stunned, as she started drinking.
"I think she has a new favorite person, C/N," Mrs. L/N laughed as she went back to the kitchen. When she was finished with her bottle, C/N led me upstairs and into the nursery. I grabbed a burp cloth and burped S/N. C/N left the room and I hummed. S/N's eyes were fluttering, trying not to fall asleep. When she fell asleep, I set her in the crib and she caught my finger in her hand. I slid my hand away and turned around.
"How long have you been standing there?" C/N was leaning against the door and staring at me.
"Long enough. Come on. I want to show you something," he took my hand and pulled me down the hall. He paused and covered my eyes with his hand. He opened the door and helped me walk forward a few steps. He pulled his hand away and I stared. I was expecting his room to similar in messiness like Gassy's room. He had two large bookshelves, one for fiction and the other for nonfiction, mainly biology related material. I flipped through a history book then put it down. The desk was beside the window seat and the bed was on the far wall.
"My room isn't always this neat. I cleaned it up before I left for college," on a shelf at the foot of the bed were several photos including one with a younger C/N with a large golden eagle on his arm. "I love learning and birds were always an interesting subject. If you have one bird species and some get separated, it almost becomes another subspecies. They have to adapt to their new environment," I turned and he was sitting on the window seat, staring outside.
"There was a family of Bluejays who lived in the tree for a few years. I did a science report on then one year," we heard C/N's mom say dinner was ready and we went downstairs.The next day
I woke up and checked the calender. I was off today. I checked my phone and saw a new text.
I had fun yesterday with you. Are you free soon? We can meet up and get a coffee sometime. C/N
Sounds fun. I'm free today.
I'll pick you up about 10?
I'll be here
I got dressed and ate some breakfast. When I was finished, there was a knock at the door. I opened the door and saw C/N standing there.
"Whoa. You look amazing," I blushed.
"You don't look bad yourself," I grabbed my purse and walked down to the parking lot. I had been looking for his car when he walked up to a motorcycle. "I didn't know you had a motorcycle," he handed me a helmet.
"I usually drive it on nice days and when I'm not moving home or having a baby with me," I put on the helmet and we got on the motorcycle. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah."
"You might want to hold on," he said. A moment later we were away from the apartments, almost flying down the highway. I had immediately threw my arms around him tightly.We stayed at the park for a while then we drove back to my apartment. We went to my door and he pulled me close.
"I had fun today," something fell in my apartment. I checked the door but it was still locked. I unlocked the door and me and C/N burst into the room. I noticed several people in my apartment and C/N didn't know where to look first.
"Max, Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel, and Iggy. What are you all doing in my apartment? How did you find me?"
"It wasn't hard with your strong perfume," Fang looked at me over the couch. "You look amazing as usual," Max hit his shoulder. "I'm complementing my sister, "
"No your not. We were in the area and thought we could stop by without making it look like a burglary, " there was a knock on the door and I peek outside.
"I'm so sorry. Is C/N there still?" His mom stood with a crying S/N. "I need him to take her for the day. I need to go shopping and she's so fussy today,"
I held my arms out to her and she quit crying.
"He's here. We'll take care of her," his mom left and I went back inside.
"And now random women leave their babies with you?"
"Seriously Fang and not entirely. I work for a daycare and I'm dating her brother, " c/N held out his hands to S/N and she shook her head.
"I remember when those two were this little," Max came over and picked up S/N. She continued to sleep. "Do they know about us? "
"Just C/N and S/N. "
"You're dating Y/N? "
"Yes. "
"If you hurt her, we have ways of finding out and... "
We will kick your butt," Gazzy said around twizzlers.
"Might I add..."
"Max, Gazzy, Fang, no."This was cute. I hope you all enjoyed it!
