The Little Lockwood

Thirty Four

EDITED

"Ty! I can't believe you actually came!" I say giddily as I leap into my brothers arms back at the Keys house where the reception was being held in the backyard.

"I can't believe I did either, Mrs. Keys," Tyler emphasizes my new last name

Which makes me scrunch my nose and blush, that is going to take some getting used to.

Brandon stands beside me as I pull away from Tyler's embrace.

"Brandon," Brandon holds his hand out for Tyler to shake.

Tyler takes his hand and shakes it once before letting go, 

"Tyler."

"So what changed your mind? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" I ask Tyler and push his shoulder playfully.

"Debria, can I talk to you in private?" Tyler asks looking at me seriously.

I shake my head as Brandon has narrowed his eyes at my big brother, 

"Brandon has super hearing, you can tell me what you need to say in front of him as well."

Tyler sighs deeply and he looks at Brandon before addressing me, 

"When we found the cure for vampirism, we had to wake Silas. An immortal, who has immense power. To harbor more power he's searching for you both. Lycanthropes are like these huge supernatural magic batteries, you both have thousands of years of power inside of you. Silas wants to become mortal again but he can't without the cure, and the cure is gone. He's coming to harbor energy from you two and he is going to make a new cure to become human."

Brandon and I exchange a look of bewilderment.

"How can we run from an immortal witch?" Brandon asks Tyler.

Tyler shrugs, worry lacing his face, 

"He doesn't know exactly where you guys are yet, all I know is that he's looking for you two."

Sighing I pull Brandon away from Tyler as a slow song from the speaker Aylee brought starts to play.

"We can worry about immortal witches tomorrow, right now, tonight, is about us," I say to Brandon. 

He calms down in a hurry and wraps his arms around my waist as I trail my hands up to his neck, and we just sway together to the music. 

When we complete a full circle, I realize Tyler is gone, and that I may never see him again.

Another sad pang hit my chest.

** The next morning **

Rolling over in bed I hit another body. Smiling I kiss Brandon's cheek as I snuggle deeper into his embrace, enjoying the warmth we share together.

"Good morning Mrs. Keys," He says smugly into the top of my hair.

"Ah, that is going to take some getting used to," I sigh in contentment.

We are still going to live with Brandon's father until we can find our own place, but his father stayed in the hotel in town last night to give us the house to ourselves. Not that we needed it, we haven't had sex besides the one time months ago.

"Debria, you have succeeded in making me the happiest man on earth. I've never felt such joy like I do with you," Brandon tells me, stroking my hair gently.

I stay quiet and smile happily.

"Have you thought of any names?" He asks me, changing subject at my silence.

I sit up on my elbows to look at him a little more, 

"Baby names?"

Brandon nods, smiling brightly, 

"Yeah, like I've thought of a few. If it's a girl I was thinking Marie. And if it's a boy I was thinking Alexander."

I smile myself, 

"I was thinking maybe Sebastian, and Kena."

"Those are beautiful. We can always figure it out later on too," Brandon says and chuckles a little.

"I am very happy to have you for the rest of my life," I say to him, our eye contact running happy chills down my body.

"I love you Debria Keys, you are my light," Brandon kisses my lips gently and hugs my body close to his own.

My life is content and happy in this moment, all thoughts of anything bad leaving my mind, the only thing mattering is Brandon and our future baby.
