The Rise of The Royal Rogue

Baby Rylan

Tell me, do you think it's possible to love someone with all your heart yet you put them through so much of pain?

I think it is because that's what I did to everyone here, I walked out on them but not without a reason. I thought I was doing the right thing by leaving so they could live without the prophecy being fulfilled. As much as Storm and Liam are happy to have me back I saw some hurt in their eyes because I left so abruptly.

Yes I was happy to be back but part of me was worrying about the prophecy, what if we didn't catch Jacob in time and Xander 'falls'? Then how do I live with myself knowing I caused the love of my life to perish because of my selfish need to be with him but at the same time I was urging him by leaving. There was so solution.

"Do you want to see Rylan? "Liam asked me.

"I would love to. ", I smiled and Storm and Liam led me into his nursery. It was a huge room with a baby blue walls and pictures of cartoon characters running along the wall. The had everything equipped for having a baby from the walker to the car seat.

This room radiated innocence and purity. I loved it. I loved knowing that such amazing thing could come from other lives. I want a child but right now I'm not ready - neither is Xander which is why we use protection every time.

Storm motioned me closer to Rylan's cot. My eyes widened at the sight if him. He was so tiny and he his eyes were closed. He had long eyelashes and the pinkeye lips. His skin looked so soft and his cheeks -

"I want to bite his cheeks! "-Grace howled.

"He's just the cutest thing ever! "- I responded.

"He looks like you, Liam. ", I smiled and traced my finger on his palm. It was so small and so soft. My Godson is going to be a heartbreaker.

His grip tightened around my index finger and I reared up.

"He's the best ever. ", I said and Storm hugged me from behind.

I love them - I love Anna and Rylan. It was love at first sight. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on them that I would stop at nothing to protect them.

I smiled.

"What color is his eyes? ", I asked.

"He's got hetrochromia. He has one blue eye and one grey eye. ", Storm explained.

"That's going to make him more of a heartbreaker when his older. ", Liam smirked and Storm rolled her eyes.

"He is going to respect all women, Mister. ", she raised her eyebrows and looked at Liam.

Liam opened his eyes widely and nodded quickly. I hid my laugh because I didn't want to wake Rylan.

"Yes ma'am, that's what I meant. ", he scratched the back if his neck.

Rylan's crip on me loosened and he smiled in his sleep. I hope he was having a beautiful dream.

We walked out of his room and went back to the lounge. There was a knock on the door and I could smell Xander. I had butterflies in my stomach - why was I nervous? well in all fairness he always made me nervous - in a good way. Every time I see him I fall more in love with him than before. Liam opened the door and Storm peeped from the kitchen to see who it was.

"I keep telling you that you don't have to knock. ", Storm said and Xander smiled.

"I don't want to walk into anything I don't want to see. ", Xander said lightly.

"We have two kids - we have no time for anything. ", Storm laughed.

Xander looked around and his eyes met mine. My world stopped. He shot me a soft yet charming smile and my heart melted.

"Hi. ", he said softly and he came to sit next to me. My heart was beating rapidly.

"Hey. ", I whispered.

"Your heart is racing. Are you excited to see me? ", he kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear.

I blushed and rested my forehead on his chest and nodded. Storm and Liam were in the kitchen making supper since today's dinner was cancelled.

"Don't hide from me. ", he said and I looked up instantly.
His blue eyes were so bright and I gasped. He shaved and groomed himself. He was so edible right now.

"Like what you see? ", he asked and I grew hot.

"Don't flatter yourself. ", I smirked and he pouted like a little kid.

He was about to say something when Anna ran into the room and onto Xander for a hug.

"Uncle Xander! ", she chirped. She was the cutest.

"Hello, Anna Banana. ", he smiled as she sat on her lap.

"Did you meet daddy's and mommy's new friend? Her name is Rebecca and she likes to paint just like me. ", she introduced me to Xander and I smiled uncontrollably.

"I did. You know what Anna? ", whenever he spoke to her his eyes lit up and he smiled.

She brought happiness with her everywhere she went. She brought out the good in people.

"Tell me please. ", she chirped again.

"I'm going to marry Aunt Rebecca. She's my special person just as mom has dad. ", he held my hand.

"Ooh. Is she going to be the queen then? ", she smiled.

"She's already the queen. ", Xander explained patiently.

"I knew it! I knew it! that's why she felt important in the pack.", Anna exploded in excitement.

Xander nodded with a big smile.

"Can I come to your wedding Aunt Rebecca? ", she asked innocently.

"I'll tell you what,you can come and you can hold the rings at my wedding too. ", I said kindly.

Her mouth widened in surprise.

"I can! ", she clapped her hands and went to tell Storm.

"I know you need some time to settle in, but as soon as you're comfortable I'm putting that ring on your finger. ", he bit my ring finger and I gasped. It tingled and I felt a jolt of electricity run through my arm. His touch had such an affect on me. He smirked at me and kissed my hand. He pulled my up and walked me to the kitchen.
