New Family (Short Story)

A little boy with long, silver hair who looked seven was fast asleep on a couch. Four little girls were crowed around the boy. The older two girls who were about eight were looking down at him has if he was something strange. One with smi-long brown hair pulled up into a pony tail and jade green was holding a little girl who looked about two. She was staring at the boy with her head tilt, her blonde hair getting in her light blue eyes. The other two girls looked somewhat alike. They both had blue eyes, the eight year old having crystal blue and the younger seven year old having light blue. The seven year old also had glasses and blonde, somewhat short hair while the other had long blonde hair. They all wanted to know who this little boy that their Mama brought home was. 

Almost has if he could tell, the little boy opened his violet colored eyes and looked at the girls. Being around strangers, he hide under his blanket and seemed not to want to come out. 

"Hey," the ponytail girl said. She handed the youngest girl over to the others and sat next to the boy. "You can come out. We weren't hurt you." 

"Please Daina," the blonde hair girl said. "You're just going to like, scare him more!" 

"Am not Felicia!" Daina snapped. She than looked at the three year old girl and took her back and held her out to the girl. "This is Karina. She'll make you feel safer!" 

The only replay that Karina made was smiling at the boy. 

"So what's your name?" the only girl left asked. 

"I don't have one," he answered, looking at her. "Who are you?" 

"I'm Sandra," she answered and smiled. "You look like Mama!" 

"Mama?" the boy asked, looking up. He saw a woman standing in the door way. She had long silver hair that looked like his and the same violet eyes that held a smile. Standing next to her were two men. One had short cut silver hair and blue eyes. The other had blond hair cut to his shoulders and the same blue eyes has the first. 

"Da?" the woman asked, walking over, the two men following him. 

"Oh Anya, he's so adorable!" the short hair man said. 

"Can we keep him?" Sandra asked, pulling on Anya's dress. 

"Da, we can keep him if Nikolai says it's okay," Anya said, chuckling a little. "Dmitri already gave an answer." 

"We can't leave a nameless boy on the streets," Nikolai told them. 

"We do have to give him a name," Anya said and thought. "Oh I know, how about Dimitri? After his new uncle?" 

"That sounds perfect!" Dmitri and Nikolai both said. 

Dimitri grinned has his new sisters all hugged him at once. It was nice to have a new family instead of wondering around with no place to settle down. He was going to like this new family... even if they seemed a little weird.
