Gabe: Exactly. It's something I take...rather seriously.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:45 pm

Alexis: What exactly does it entail?

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:47 pm

Gabe: You'll see. Here...hand me the children.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:50 pm

Alexis carefully hands Nicholas and Natalie to Gabe, watching him intently.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:51 pm

And Alex hands over Elizabeth and Connor.

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:58 pm

Gabe walks over to the bay window and sits in the big, comfy chair. The kids are active until Gabe starts gently calming them. Nikki peeks her head in...and sees Gabe with the kids...

Gabe: You four are new to this world....but you have a family that loves all of you. Your parents most of all. I am Gabriel...your protector and your uncle. I'm so happy to meet you guys. I want you to know...that I will show you everything you need to know to become an Edwards. You'll be surrounded by love at all times. This I swear to you. One day....one of you will be chosen to carry on our family name...and it will be up to the rest of you guys to protect future generations of our family.

All four kids look up at Gabriel in awe....and slowly start to fall asleep...

Gabe: Heh....just like your dad. Rest now, kids...and know you will always be safe.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:00 pm

Nikki: ...wow

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:05 pm

Alex wraps his arm around Lexi and laughs softly.

Alex: You thought he was going to hurt them? This is their first sleep.... and they will sleep knowing that no matter what..... even if something, god forbid were to happen to us.... they would be safe..... and loved....... that there would always be someone there who would gladly give their life for them.... trust me it sticks with you....

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:08 pm

Alexis: I didn't think he would. I just didn't know what to expect.

She looks over at Gabe.

Alexis: Were you just trying to do that before they fell asleep for the first time?

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:10 pm

Gabe looks up from the kids...

Gabe: Yeah, I was. See...when Alex and Mandy were little...they would always have trouble sleeping. Unc and Jilly would try all manner of things. One time...I picked them up and started talking to them about being an Edwards...and how if they didn't get sleep...they couldn't become strong like me. They...just fell asleep. So...Unc put me in charge of protecting them and showing them what he showed me.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:14 pm

Nikki leans against the doorway.

Nikki: And they were saying I was a natural.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:14 pm

Alex: Yeah..... everyone seemed to think that we had trouble sleeping because me and Mandy's first few days were so..... uncertain............ and Gabe made us feel safe.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:20 pm

Alexis: You were able to remember that?

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:22 pm

Gabe: Hey Nikki...oh this? Heh...I've been taking care of kids all my life.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:25 pm

Nikki half smirks, half smiles.

Nikki: So this is what you'll look like as a dad.

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:26 pm

Alex: That Gabe always made me feel safe? Yeah..... it's one of my earliest memories.....

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:27 pm

Gabe: Ah...um....y....I would...guess so. Um...I don't know if that.....maybe.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:29 pm

Alexis: I kind of remember that with Colin. Not one specific memory, but that feeling he was always there to protect me.

Nikki giggles.

Nikki: You don't think you'd be able to do that with your own?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:34 pm

Alex just stands and stares at his sleeping children and tears start to fall down his cheek.

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:35 pm

Gabe: No, that's not it. It....heh. It doesn't matter, I suppose.

Gabe gets up and walks the kids over to the bed and lays them all next to Alexis, in the large bed. He makes sure to cradle their heads. They are sound asleep and each of them have smiles on their face...

Jabberwocky Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:46 pm

Ashley:"Amber..actually I wanted to speak with you."

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:48 pm

Alexis strokes the babies wispy hair and their soft skin, unable to take her eyes off of them for a long time. She finally looks up, smiling at Alex, but her expression changes to one of concern seeing him crying.

Alexis: What's the matter?

Nikki: C'mon Gabe... it feels kinda awkward watching this.

Cryonix Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:50 pm

Amber: Hey Ashley! What's going on?

Gabe: Yeah...come on. Let's leave them be.

Pockets Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:52 pm

As they're leaving the room, Nikki glances at Gabe.

Nikki: You think we'd be like that as parents?

Cruel Britannia Wed Jan 04, 2012 9:52 pm

Alex: Nothing's the matter sweetie.... it's just........

..... these are our babies.... they're so.... beautiful......

He wipes his eyes and laughs, blushing madly.
