I'm a midford Book 1

chapter 5

At the moment you were in your cot you were standing up holding onto the bars of the cot for support you said "ok I can stand up, now to practice walking from one end to the other holding onto the railing, of course, I need to get my leg muscles working and fast" you were mostly left to your own devices with a nanny, a butler, maid or your parents checking on you if you were in your cot or pram.

You were practising after just walking once you sat and thought 'damn I don't remember walking being this hard! it's like I've ran a marathon or something I think for now that will be it I need to do baby steps, oh the irony!' you lay down you knew Edward's birthday was coming up and decided to give him the gift of walking to him. Yes, he could be overprotective and annoying at times but he was your brother now, you decided to take a small nap because why not there wasn't much to do at the moment for you.

When you woke up you were in your pram you thought 'what the hell! I was in my room?' you stretched and looked to see Francis, you wondered where she was taking you. All you could do was look around well look at the sky the pram had a load of room for you, soon she stopped and took you out you saw it was the phantomhive manor you were happy to see Ciel again.

You were placed on the ground to play with Ciel as the adults talked, you were enjoying this getting to be a child again and things. you felt guilt knowing what would happen and how there was nothing to do to save Rachel and Vincent, you knew even if you said to invite Ciel over then no Sebastian, no cult and no push to summon, and if you did then your family might get attacked and get badly hurt and die you knew you didn't want that at all. You mentally sighed and groaned 'though having Sebastian as my butler now that is the only plus side, but Ciel has to summon him and I'm not taking his place nope' you thought.

You ended up taking a nap with Ciel, while you hugged each other Rachel smiled and rubbed yours and Ciels head. Soon it was Edward's birthday there was a small party for him friends and family where there, Rachel had Ciel on her lap you watched as presents were given out. Vincent was holding you let's say you liked to spend time with him, and you knew it would come in handy for the future.

Francis said "Edward" he looked and said "yes mother?" she gave him a long box 'bet it's a sword' you thought you would of made a bet, but who could you make it with. Edward opened it and of course, it was, Alexis said "Edward that is the first real sword of the midford family, it is a tradition that when children of the midford reach 6 or 7 they get a real sword with the family crest on, and made by the same swords smith that makes the swords for the royal family when they train, treat it well it is to be used to only protect your family" 'nice tradition, so not just to boys huh? That's very forward-thinking that men and women are treated equally, very 21st century though my new mother whooped you're but' you laughed in your head at the thought, you decided to give a cute little clap.

Edward said, "I will father, and thank you mother, father" you saw it was a unique designed for just him. you figured you'd get one yourself, soon Vincent placed you on the floor you knew he was giving Edward his gift, you watched and saw it was some funtom toys well he's still a kid so smart choice for that, after all the gifts where given you decided to go and give Edward your gift. You stood up and wobbly went over in a little waddle "Ed Ed!" you called out you couldn't quite say Edward just yet, just Ed he looked and caught you as you fell and smiled.

Rachel said, "my she's walking already!" Francis said "yes she's doing all of her milestones early" you giggled, Edward was happy that you walked to him you let him go to play with his friends. you didn't feel hurt that he didn't want to pay attention or play with you after all he was older than you, and you were a baby nearly 1 and there were some games and things you couldn't play yet being a baby and where dangerous.
