Little Lighters

-Abe's pov-

When I walked through the door into the house I was greeted by Red, who was standing there, arms crossed and tail flicking back and forth, like an angry cat.

" Abe."

" Red...How is everything?"

His eyes narrowed a bit and his tail sped up,

" Well besides my sister becoming an alcoholic and her nearly going insane I'm quite well. How was the mission?"

His voice was so cold, it was almost alarming, but I continued on, setting my bag down and pulling off my breathing apparatus. Red moved away from the entrance and over to the kitchen, where he pulled out a beer and when he cracked it opened I jumped. It was so quiet in the house that it sounded like a gunshot.

" You couldn't call or even write once? My sister was looking like something Manning would even take pity on, after he shit and pissed on it. She just now started to live again, she got dressed and went out on a date. He seemed nice, Rose doesn't like him too much. But who can we blame, she was hellbent on you coming home. That sparked my interest.

" How is Rose? How big is she? Does she look more like me or Ellie?"

Red's eyes narrowed again and he sat on the counter.

" She is growing faster than a normal human, smarter than most preschoolers. Already telling the twins off and everything, kinda reminds me of when Ellie and I were kids. But that's not the point Abe. You hurt my sister, and now you come back almost wanting to pick up right where you two left off. That's not going to happen, Liz is so pissed off at you and I'm...well I should be kicking your ass seven ways from sunday, but I'm not. I am going to let you off with this warning. If you ever hurt my sister or my niece again, I will hurt you and I will never let you see them again. Brother or not."

He then got down, gulping down the rest of his beer and lumbered off, probably back to his bedroom.

" WHY DIDN'T YOU KICK HIS-"

" Let him see her. He needs to see what he missed out."

The door opened and I heard a quick patter of feet, then a little girl came running at her, her silver hair flying behind her, but what got me was her big blue eyes and her slightly blue tinted skin.

" DADA!"

She jumped, clinging to my legs with an iron grip. I slowly bent over, pulling free of my legs and pulled her into my arms.

" Hey my little thorn."

Her eyes almost closed as she smiled, something her mother did when she was truly happy.

" I missed you."

I whispered, my throat was closing up, like I was going to cry. Her little smile disappeared as she looked over my shoulder,

" Mama gone. With stupid deer man. He is no good. Dada better."

How could Ellie leave our child when she knew that she didn't like the man she was seeing. Why didn't she wait for me a little bit longer?

" Daddy's here now. I promise I will talk to your mom. Make her see that that man isn't any good for her."

Rose nodded, her lip stuck out a bit.

" Dada stay now? Mama cry lots."

She then started to wiggle a bit, kicking until I put her down. As soon as her feet hit the ground she took off, running over to the stairs and sat down. Where she scooted down the stairs surprisingly fast. Following her into my room I saw that the couch was covered with blankets and surrounded by empty coffee mugs and books. They must have been sleeping in here without fail every night. Walking over to the couch I saw that there was an open scrapbook, one page looked a bit wrinkled, like someone had sat there crying while looking at it. Looking closer I saw that it was a picture of Ellie and myself, her being very pregnant and both of our hands on her stomach. She was grinning so much her eyes were closed and I looked incredibly proud.
