Vampire's Alpha

2 Not That Easy

I wake up bright and early to get a head start on things. First I shower and dress myself. I skip feeding myself since human food doesn't sound so appealing at the moment. God only knows when I'll be given my blood rations for today. The burn from the thirst is manageable for now. I hope to keep it that way. I need to be in control of something in my life right now.

By the time I make my way to the nursery I can smell pancakes being made. I figure it's Bass so I don't stop to check. He does must of the cooking in the house if I don't.

Killian is up and waiting for me. His blonde hair is a mess and so are his clothes. "Mommy." His small voice calls for me.

"Hey sweetie. Let's be quiet so we don't wake up your brother and sister just yet." I tell him. He nods his small head and I pick him up.

I sit Killian on the floor while I find clothes for all three of them. Once I have three outfits ready I take Killian to the bathroom to bathe him. I fill the tub up less than half way with some bubbles and a toy to keep him busy while I wash him up.

When I'm done with Killian, Cesare is up and ready to go next. "Mommy outside?" Cesare asks as I wash his light brown hair.

"Yes we are going outside today." I tell him.

He claps his hands in the water wetting me and some of the floor. I don't care about the mess. I can easily clean up the water. I love to see him happy. His dimpled smile always makes my heart melt.

"Now play with your brother." I tell Cesare. I place him in the same play pin as his brother.

Mia is last, last but never least. She just always wakes up last. She's the quiet one out of her brothers. But you can tell she's always thinking about something. She gets that deep thought look that Cam gets.

"Mia, honey you have to get in the water." For some odd reason she doesn't want to get in. She's never been afraid of it so I don't know why she is denying it. "Please Mia. We can get ice cream later." I coo.

She smiles and hesitantly gets into the warm water mix with bubbles. It takes no time to get her cleaned up. I hurry because I can see she doesn't like it. Maybe it's the bubbles.

With the kids dressed and ready for breakfast I take them downstairs. Killian walks own his own while I carry Cesare and Mia.

When we reach the kitchen it still faintly smells like pancakes but it's empty and clean. I can smell Bass so it must have been him. But who was he making breakfast for, himself?

After placing them in their highchairs I start boiling water for their oatmeal. Killian likes strawberries so I cut those up nice and small to put in his. Cesare likes blueberries so I cut them up and peaches for Mia.

I put small bowls of their food in front of them and watch them eat. I made sure not to boil the water too much so it won't be to hot for them. It's amazing how developed they are becoming. I can faintly smell their scents. They never smelled like anything but baby and lotion to me.

Now I can get a sense of who they will take after scent wise. I can only wonder how fast they will grow or when they will first shift.

I push those thoughts away for now. "Do you want some more them?" I ask.

A messy face Killian and Mia both nod their heads. Cesare doesn't so I place his bowl in the sink while I make more for the other two.

Whilst waiting for the water to boil again I test their brain development with counting and letters. I'm surprised how much they know and how properly they can speak.

After the second round of fresh fruit and oatmeal I clean them up a bit so they can play outside.

I sit and observe them play in the grass from the patio. It's almost eleven so Cam and Paul will be starting training soon. I just want the kids to get at least an hour of play before I take them back inside.
