Branches

Matt leant his head on his knees, still listening.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:29 pm

Well I don't remember exactly but Mike asked me if I wanted to have sex and I said yes. Sisky shrugged.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:34 pm

So what, they're his babies? Matt furrowed his brow, a strange swooping sensation in his stomach.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:38 pm

Babies? Sisky stiffened at the use of plural and frowned. Yes it's his, but he's not going to claim it. It's my baby.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:41 pm

Like Ryland and William never claimed me? Matt clarified.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:45 pm

William would have wanted to claim you, but yes like that. Sisky nodded.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:48 pm

Make sure it doesn't find out later then. Matt told the girl.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:54 pm

I don't know how I'll hide it. Sisky looked at the vampire nervously.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:56 pm

Right, and I know? Matt raised an eyebrow. The only advise I can give you is hit your child everytime he calls the wrong person 'Dada'.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:02 pm

Sisky smiled sheepishly. And what if he calls you that?

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:06 pm

Matt shrugged. Up to you. Just... don't hit them too young. Let them at least reach two.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:08 pm

Is that when Ryland started hitting you? Sisky looked concerned. She didn't want to hit her child at all if she could avoid it.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:15 pm

Matt shook his head. I can remember learning to walk when I was maybe a year? He'd been hitting me for ages before that.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:22 pm

Sisky felt sinking feeling at the glimpse into Matt's childhood. She leaned in to give him a quick hug.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:32 pm

Matt patted her back awkwardly.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:38 pm

Those scars... Are some of them from Ryland? Sisky's eyes burned with anger.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:39 pm

Some of them? Matt raised an eyebrow. Most, if not all. I think Mike might have done one, but I'm not sure...

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:46 pm

Um Matt? Does that make you angry? Sisky asked curiously.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:47 pm

Does what make me angry? Matt furrowed his brow, not following.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:49 pm

Oh wait you don't feel pain right? I forgot. Sisky chewed on her finger. Um. Does what Ryland did to you make you angry?

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:50 pm

Matt shrugged. He was just being a parent, I guess. I dunno. It doesn't really bother me anymore.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:57 pm

Most parents don't treat their children that way. Sisky smiled sadly. You'll see.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:58 pm

William doesn't. A shadow of a smile splintered across Matt's face. William's awesome.

Subject: Re: Branches Tue Oct 16, 2007 4:01 pm

Sisky's face brightened at Matt's expression and her smile turned more sincere.

Matt leant back against the tree with a contented smile.
