Freedom

Chapter 17

Crying. That's all I hear.

4 kids. Why me?

"They're crying again." I mumbled. "It's your turn."

"I never get them to stop crying and you know that." Kyle mumbled back.

"Fine, I'll do it." I said.

I rolled out of bed after smacking the back of Kyle's head.

"Ow!"

I walked over to the nursery door with an angry Kyle in tow. I opened it to see 4 babies crying.

"I'll take Lily while you take Haden, Kyle and Blake?" I said. I knew he wouldn't like that but I'm the one who gave birth to them.

I walked off towards Lilys crib. She's hungry like always. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms. I then took an already heated bottle and placed it gently in her mouth.

Once she's done with the bottle, I burped her and rocked her to sleep. 

I watched Kyle for a moment. He seemed to know what he was doing so I went back to our room.

"Hey babe, can you come here for a sec?" Kyle asks.

I walk in the nursery to see all 3 babies asleep.

"See, you get better and better every night." I said. I kissed his cheek and pulled him to bed.

We cuddled together and had a peaceful sleep. Finally!

****

"Kyle." I said. "Kyle!"

He stopped pacing and looked at me. "So I am just supposed to accept that you have to fight Darek, ALONE! Not gonna happen sweetheart." He yelled.

I had told Kyle what my mom told me after we had dropped the kids off at his parents house.

"You think I want to do this? I'd rather be at home watching my kids sleep not planning how to kill Darek!" I yelled back. "And I won't be alone either. I have you remember?"

Kyles face softened. "That's true." he said. I nodded. "So we have a day to figure out what we need to do." He walked to the bed and placed me on his lap.

We sat in silence for awhile but then I had an idea.

"What if we don't kill Darek?" I said slowly. I felt Kyle stiffen.

"Would you like to explain why?"

"Darek has been possessed by my aunt since forever. After my mom rejected him, my aunt came to him and told him lies. She's been apart of him since the beginning, but now she is him. The things he does or says aren't his but hers. What if we can get Darek back to his good self? The one Susan fell in love with?" I replied.

"That may work babe. That really might work. It doesn't hurt to try either." He said.

"Let's tell the others." I replied while hopping up from his lap. I started to walk away from him but he pulled me back.

"Hold on babe. How are we going to do that?"

"I'm my mothers child, I'll figure something out." I said. I grinned and felt Kyle tighten his arms around me.

"And that's what I'm worried about." I heard him murmur.

What's that supposed to mean?

****

"So will you help me?" I asked. I looked over at Kyle who gave me a look. "Us I mean."

"So you want us to help you turn a spiritually possessed Darek back to the way Susan had fallen in love with and not kill him and at the same time take down your Aunt who happens to be the one who has Darek possessed?" David asked sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at him.
