Spider-Girl

Chapter 07: Lunch

                    Wynonna stares at the new number in her contacts after giving Nigel his medicine, debating in rather or not she should call Esme for this lunch. She'd have to drive because she's bringing Nigel and Eliza.

            Nona sighs in defeat and she presses the green icon. Nigel smiles approvingly as he sits in the floor with Eliza, who just started chanting 'mama' at the top of her lungs, reaching for her big sister.

            "Wynonna," Esme answers right as Wynonna picks up Eliza. "I'm glad you called."

          "I've never really had friends before, so I almost chickened out and didn't call," Wynonna admits. "I was calling for lunch."

                  Esme looks at Rosalie and Rosalie nods, saying she'll stay home from school. "One of my adoptive daughters will be here to let you and the kids in. I'm running to the store. We're running low on food."

            When Wynonna agrees and gets directions, she gets herself and the kids ready before heading toward the Cullens house, following the directions Esme gave to her.

             Wynonna knocks on the door and a stunning blonde opens the door. She lets her in and she awes at Eliza.

           "I'm Rosalie," the blonde introduces.

           "I'm Wynonna," Nona claims. "This is Nigel, and Eliza."

           "Mama! Mama! Hold?" Eliza motions to Rosalie.

           "Hold? That's a new word," Wynonna muses and she looks at Rosalie. "She wants you to hold her."

           "If it's okay with you," Rosalie replies.

           "It's that or she cries bloody murder," Wynonna muses and Rosalie takes Eliza in her arms.

            Rosalie leads them all upstairs and to that living room.  Nigel sees an PlayStation one and his eyes grow wide in awe. Rosalie looks at Nona in question and the mixed girl nods. Rosalie hooks Emmett's PlayStation one up and plays against Nigel.

             "Esme should be here soon," Rosalie claims as she gets defeated again by a six year old who plays the war game like a pro teenager. "How is he so good?"

             "Our dad made quite a few video games with his scientific brain for PlayStation one before he died," Wynonna replies. "Nigel grew... Accustomed." 

             Rosalie smiles and she gets beat... again. Eliza stands clumsily and both girls and Nigel look at her quickly. Eliza stumbles across the floor as Esme walks in but tumbled down.
  
           "Oh, baby," Wynonna coos as Eliza picks herself back up. "Next step is potty training."

               Esme and Wynonna are sitting in the kitchen talking while Rosalie finally learns Nigel's gaming methods in the kicking room while watching him and Eliza. The door downstairs opens and Esme excuses herself.

           "Why do I smell human?" Jasper akss. "A very... very loud human?"

           Esme sighs. "My friend Wynonna's here with her siblings. Be nice."

           "Esme!" Rosalie calls. "Nigel is besting me again!"

           "Is she..." Emmett walks upstairs and he finds his wife and he spots her getting her butt handed to her in a war game by a six year old. "Huh... A competitive kid, huh?"

            "Wynonna went to pick up Nigel's medicine," Esme says as she walks in, she lifts Eliza up. "She'll be right back. I said we'd watch the kids until she comes back."

           Ememtt grabs the controller from Rosalie and he plays Nigel, scoffing as he gets beat by a six year old. Jasper walks in and he glances between Nigel and Eliza.

             After twenty minutes, that strong, sweet smell fills his nose again as Esme lets Wynonna back in. He watches as his bloodsinger gives her brother his medicine and he goes back to kicking Emmett's butt.

             Esme introduces everyone to Wynonna. Nona is now sitting at the counter with Edward, they're talking about classical music and how smart Nigel is already. Jasper is learning against the railing on the balcony, he is studying Wynonna. He's scared to get too close. He's been doing so good with the urges and then he met Nona.

             "Mama?" Eliza coos as she clumsily stumbles toward her. "Hungry."

               Nigel laughs suddenly and he takes off running, hiding behind Wynonna's leg. Emmett busts out laughing, which causes the six year old to relax. Rosalie - much to everyone's surprise - walks out with Nona. But they weren't surprised that Rose carried the little girl out for Wynonna.

             "Come back around," Rosalie says. "You and the kids are good company."

           Wynonna nods and she heads to the grocery store in Port Angeles. She and the kids go in. Nona gets whatever she needs and heads on home. While Nigel and Eliza play in the living room with Charlie, Nona puts away the food and drinks and snacks in the kitchen.

              Wynonna plops down on the couch when Charlie brings the kids up to bed to tuck them in himself - to help his deceased sister's daughter out a bit. Nona props her feet up and closes her eyes as Charlie walks out quietly, leaving for his own home; knowing Wynonna, Nigel, and Eliza are all at home and safe.
