The Stones ~ Carson

Chapter 7

"What happened to him" I ask opening the door for them

"Evan and him are close so when our parents called and told him that he was in the hospital he started drinking I found him at the bar had to fight my way into it just to get him I'm Eden and this is our younger brother Eric, we were sent here to live with either Ethan or Evan our parents wanted freedom from us I guess." Eden said

"Your Ethan and Evans younger sister and brother" I ask

They nod thier heads

"come on lets get him into bed, Eric if you go through that door its the kitchen in the fridge is some milk and on the counter are cookies help yourself we will be back down ok" I tell him

"Are we going to have to sleep in the car again?" he asked looking down

"No honey Let me put Ethan to bed and then I will show you a bedroom ok" I tell him

he nodded his head and went through the door I helped Eden take Ethan to my room once we got him into the bed we went out the door and I heard one of the babies cry so I went into thier to see Lance and Lilly both awake and crying

"Come to Auntie you don't want to wake your Couisn now do you" I coo Eden helps me and grabs Lilly we carry them into the kitchen I make the bottles with Lance on my hip

"Cute Babies" Eric says looking at them

"They are my older sisters and her husbands this is Lilly and this is Lance" I say pointing them out

"Who was the other baby?" Eden asked

"Dev's best friend Ella who married my couisn Dane the one that is looking into the person and car that ran into Evan and Lyndale, it's thier daughter Ellie the three where born on the same day and really close for being one." I tell them

"So you know Evan's new girl friend what is she like most of his ex were bitches that made us go back to our parents who would lock us out of the house and make us sleep in the cold, Ethan tried helping but his living space isn't that big and with him working nights no one got any sleep he's been trying to save up to get a bigger place." Eden says looking down afraid to get hit maybe

"Eden do your parents hit you?" I ask

"Yeah when they start drinking which is happening more and more" she whispers

"Oh honey, no more ok and yes I know Lyn we are best friends and her brother is married to my sister and she lives next door, but we are going to make sure that you guys never have to go back ok" I tell them

"Why would you help us?" Eric asked

"Because sometimes people just need a little help and I don't know where I'd be today if my sister hadn't given up her dreams and became our single parent when our parents died, but no one likes to be pushed around and when it's your parents doing the pushing or the hitting where is a safe place to go." I say

"Cars are you down here?" Asked Brett coming into the kitchen

"Yeah and yes I have Lance and Lilly" I say as he plops down on the stool and takes a cookie

"Ok, I just put Ellie back down, she was wet I looked in Lances crib and no babies, Dev's door is locked so I checked your room to see Ethan sleeping but no you so I figured you'd be here" he yawned

"Did Ellie wake you" I ask as he takes Lance and the bottle from me

"Yeah but it's cool I figured Dev and Liam got in late and that Ellie was just staying so I set my alarm to check on them Brice has his set for 3 to check on them too so no worries about getting up, are you working tomorrow?" Brett asked putting the bottle down and burping Lance who falls asleep on his shoulder
