The Only Exception

Chapter 4

(Slenderman's POV)

I decided to take the child to the lake that was in the center of my forest. I chuckled as I carried her over to the bench I'd put there a while back, and she played with the collar of my suit, perfectly content with the pretzel I found in the kitchen and gave her to chew on.

I would talk to her not expecting her to respond or understand until I remembered her mother telling me how she can talk, but only says a little, to very few people.

"Can you talk child?" I asked in a very calm voice. She looked at me and nodded.

"Okay, will you say something for me?" I asked hopeful I could hear the little girl's voice. This time she shook her head.

I let out a sigh of disappointment, "Okay then. Sorry for asking". I think she picked up on the sadness in my voice because she cuddled into my chest and grabbed my arm with her pale little hand. She mumbled "sorry" almost too soft to hear.

"It's okay Darling. I'm happy you are as comfortable as you are right now." I said while snuggling her into the crook of my neck protectively and out of instinct.

She sighed and yawned. I decided it was time to show her the new home.

As we walked home I thought to myself, she is so advanced for her age. That is how I know she is mine.

(Jeff's POV)

Eventually the 3 idiots got back with the shit they bought for Slendy's baby girl.

As I sat on the couch with everyone, I heard a knock at the door. I could see Slendy's "other arms" from the window so I opened the door to see him holding the little baby, who is now the only girl in the mansion.

She looked at me while biting her lip realizing she knew me from earlier. The baby waved to me and let a tired smile creep its way onto her pale face.

I moved aside to let them in while everyone got to see a little of what the girl looked like. "You will all get to meet her tomorrow, relax. Eyeless Jack, come with us and show us her room." Eyeless Jack got up and led them to her room.

(Eyeless Jack's POV)

I led Slendy and the baby up to her room, as I opened the door, I could hear him say "woah". It's not often Slendy gets shocked at things so this is either really good or really bad. I decided to change the subject. "We picked out some bows and stuff for her at the mall." She looked around and smiled at Slendy, then at me. I love her little smile.

I nodded to her, "You like it cutie?" I asked with smirk. She smiled and giggled reaching her arms out to me. I looked at Slendy as he handed me the little girl. I didn't know what to do, so I spoke to her, " Hey sweetie, I'm Eyeless Jack, but when you learn to talk you can call me E.J." I smiled at her. She was adorable.

Slendy looked at me, "she can talk you know. She understands you" . Wow. "Is this true? Can you talk?" She looked at me and gave a toothy grin, "yea I can talk." .

"Wow, thats super cool. Slendy your kid is amazing!"

I said. "She wouldn't talk to me, but I guess she's kind of amazing. For sure advanced for her age." She giggled at her daddy. "Okay baby time for bed." He said.

The girl and I looked at each other and frowned. He laughed "wait, what can I call you?" I asked her realizing I didn't know her name. "Mc- kezzie" she tried to say. "Mackenzie?" I asked. She nodded. "How bout I just call you Kenzie?" She nodded and yawned. I tucked her into bed and kissed her head, "night kenzie" I smiled.

She waved at me and motioned for her dad. I backed up and Slendy went over and kissed Her. "Love you Mackenzie" "lub you too daddy" he chuckled and motioned for us to leave, "C'mon Jack we can see her tomorrow." And with that we left.
