Before You, We had No One

Laughing And Screams

-3rd Person POV-

"Princess, I need to take the car to the car park with Auntie Alex so you are going to have to stay here with Mommy, Isaac and Grandma" Mon el explains as he kneels in front of Bryn who is screaming her head off on the floor.
"No Daddy, No!" she screams in temper.
"Bryn, stop it," Mon el says sternly but she doesn't calm down.
"Bryn come here to Mommy," Kara says worriedly from the sofa but Bryn doesn't move. She keeps screaming and crying as the tears that run down her face fall faster and faster. .
"Right!" Mon-el spits angrily as he picks Bryn up off the floor.
"You are tired, I can tell so you are going to Mommy. You are not coming with Daddy, do you hear me" he demands as he walks over to Kara who is still sitting on the couch next to Eliza who is playing with Isaac on her lap. Mon-el places Bryn on Kara's lap and Kara wraps her arms around Bryn and pulls her close to her chest.
"We will be back in about 10 minutes" Alex adds before she leaves behind Mon-el.
The second Kara begins to rock Bryn in her arms, her eyes started to droop from exhaustion. 2 minutes later, she is fast asleep.
Kara walks slowly up the stairs and into Bryn's room, where she lays her gently on her bed before pulling her blanket over her small figure and closing the door behind her.

-Kara's POV-

"How is she?" Eliza asks as I walk quietly down the stairs.
"I'm not sure, I've left her to sleep on her bed" I reply as I step down from the bottom step and I down slump on to the sofa next to her.
"It's okay Kara," Eliza says as she looks over towards me.
"It's okay what?" I ask in confusion.
"It's okay that Bryn behaved like that. They all do at that age" She says reassuringly.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Of course. You do not know how many times Alex had a temper like that. She would do exactly what Bryn just did over being given the wrong cup" Eliza laughs as she passes Isaac over to me.
I smile down at Isaac as he gives me a big grin. I grab his nose and he looks at me confused which causes me to chuckle.
"You're not going to have tempers for Mommy are you Isaac. You're going to be the most well-behaved boy EVER" I smile as Isaac smiles brightly up at me.
"That's what we all wish" Eliza laughs.

Not minutes later, Alex and Mon-El entered the house again.
"Where's Bryn?" Mon-el asks.
"Upstairs asleep" I reply as he crouches down next to me.
He places a kiss on Isaac's head and a quick kiss on my lips.
"Sorry for dumping her on you," he says quietly as Eliza and Alex start cooking dinner.
"It's okay, you had to go and I get that. I think it was best that you left anyway because as soon as you left she calmed down so if you didn't, she would have just continued for longer" I inform him as he sits next to me and places his head on my shoulder and closes his eyes.
"Kara? Mon-el?" Eliza asks from the kitchen.
"Yes," I reply.
"What would you like for dinner? We have pasta, pizza or Shepherds pie" Alex says.
"Umm... Pasta please" I answer.
"Okay, we're on it," Eliza says which makes Alex and I giggle. She always said that when we were younger. She would give us 2 choices for dinner but me and Alex never wanted the same meal (except when pizza was involved but who can say no to pizza), so Eliza would find an even level where we were both happy and she would run out the run yelling "We're on it" even though she was the only one who cooked.

I look over my shoulder when I hear a snort to find Mon el sleeping peacefully with his head buried into my neck.
I gently shake him to wake him up but it doesn't work so I sit up, holding his head before placing it on the sofa arm and I lit his legs onto the sofa so he is laid across the full length.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I ask.
"No Kara, you just relax we've got this" Alex replies and I can't help but burst into laughter.
"What?" Alex asks with hurt plastered all over her face.
"Alex, the last time you cooked you set my oven on fire and you killed the microwave because you put a tin foil tray of food inside and left the room" I remind her and breathing starts to become difficult as my laughter increases.
"Don't worry Kara, I will keep Alex under careful surveillance" Eliza laughs along with me.
"Hey, guys that was one time" Alex insists as she turns beetroot red.
"Yeah yeah, Alex of course it was" I reply mockingly.
I miss being able to spend time with my family, including Eliza.
She was the one who helped me settle on earth after all.

-Mon El's POV-

I hear laughing in the distance but I am not quite ready to open my eyes just yet.
I stay with my eyes closed, trying to make myself look like I am still asleep until I hear a scream from upstairs.
"Daddy! Mommy!" The little voice yells as loud as it can.
I quickly jump up on to my feet and I sprint up the stairs and in the direction of the screams, leaving the three girls downstairs with a face of horror and shock.
I run into Bryn and Isaac's room to find Bryn rocking herself on her bed, crying.
"Hey hey it's okay, Daddy's here" I whisper softly as I kneel next to her bed.
Bryn jumps into my arms, shaking with fear.
"Where am I Daddy?" she asks quietly as she digs her head into my shoulder.
"We're on holiday remember, with Auntie Alex and Grandma" I remind her as I rub small circles on her back to try and calm her down even just a little.
"I remember" she mumbles into the collar of my shirt.
"So you want to go downstairs and see Mommy and Isaac while we wait for dinner?" I ask her.
She nods her head in reply so I stand up from beside the pure white bed and I walk slowly downstairs.
As I step down from the stairs and walk into the kitchen and dining area, Kara runs up to us with Isaac in her arms, still panicking.
She uses her spare hand to brush away the hair that had fallen on Bryn's face as she looks to me for an explanation.
"We just got a bit scared and confused that's all" I explain to Kara as I pull her towards me with my right hand and I place a kiss in her hair.
