The Hybrid's Sons

Chapter Six

"...stressed.......not good......needs rest......thank you." I groan as I slowly come to. I don't get why everyone says that they momentarily forget what happened when the wake up after being unconscious, because currently my head is filling with images.

Papa rushing out of the room with Laney.

Finn staring at me as if I was some unknown creature to him, as if we didn't share a womb for months, as if he didn't love me.

"Fitz, baby? Are you awake?" I open my eyes and blink away the black spots moving across my vision. Daddy stands above me, his arm across my body as he leans over me. I smell the scent I grew up with. The scent that I recognized as home for so long.

"Daddy" I whimper as I reach up with grabby hands like a baby would. Daddy gasps as he leans the rest of the way down before sliding his arms behind my back and lift me off the bed momentarily so he could sit down and pull me into his lap.

"I'm sorry, Daddy." I whimper into his neck, nuzzling it with my nose like I did when I was younger.

"You did nothing wrong Baby. I'm sorry that you were in so much pain and none of us realized. I promise we will do more to be involved with your life" I sigh as I lean into Daddy's hard, but surprisingly soft body. I pull away before looking down at his stomach, which is significantly larger then it normally is.

"Daddy...."

"I know. We were going to tell everyone tonight, at dinner, but this is more important for the time being." I continue to stare at Daddy's large stomach. How didn't I realize, he has the glow he did when he was pregnant with Laney.

Daddy is pregnant.

For some reason I feel as if I should be more happy then I currently am.

"Thats...great." I say lamely as I slide off of his lap and back onto the hospital bed, noting that it is much harder then my cloud-like bed back in my room.

"You don't seem happy about it." Daddy says bluntly as he tucks his hands against his stomach, almost as if he is trying to protect the unborn pup from whatever I might say.

"I am happy for you Daddy, but like you said. I'm not in a good place, I just, wish it wasn't now. I just feel like everything is falling out of place, and this is just going to make everything that much harder to work through, but I am happy that I'll have another try at having the perfect younger sibling." Daddy smirks as he hits my arm.

"You be nice to Laney. I know she acts like a little Devil around you, Dad has shown me some videos of what she is like to you when none of us are around, but she does it because she wants you to give her attention. She wants and craves your attention Fitz, but you be just haven't noticed her, so she went to the only thing she could think of, and that was to annoy you to death so that you would pay attention to her, even if it was only to yell at her to leave you alone." I thought about Daddy's words as I messed with the sheet on the hard bed.

"So you're saying that if I spend more time with her, that she might not act like the devil's incarnate anymore?" I ask teasingly as I look at Daddy through my eyelashes. Daddy laughs a short, surprised laugh, before smiling content at me. Daddy runs a hand through my hair as he stands up.

"You might just be right Fitz, you might also be able to strengthen your relationship with Finn if you spend more time with him then hiding away from him in your room." With those parting words Daddy walks out of the room, leaving me to my own thoughts.

Would Finn ever consider a relationship with me? Maybe if i did try and talk to him more, show up more to his football games, then maybe he would see me more than busy his annoying nerdy brother.

With a smile on my lips I leave the bedroom and look for either my brother, or sister. Whoever I find first.
