Brother

'Oh thank god, a baby bottle.' Drinking from the bottle I felt really happy. I know that sounds weird, but drinking from your mothers' breast is not something that I feel comfortable with. Think about it I have 29 years worth of memories so mentally I am an adult. So a am perfectly happy drinking from this baby bottle anytime. Feeling full once more I released the bottle and gurgled... Looking at me the nurse seemed to realize that her second guess was correct. Grabbing the bottle from me she set it down and carried me out of the small place. Looking around the sun was just starting to peek over the mountains. The sight was something I never imagined to see yes I read about it in books but that doesn't even come close.

The sun peeking through the mountains and canyons I saw a wall in the distance below buildings spread out across the land within the walls. It looked as if steam was rising from the ground when in fact it was an early morning fog. The clouds turned from black to a golden pink. 'You know what I think that the view here is probably my first favorite thing coming to this world.' Reaching my tiny hand's forward I imagined myself reaching for the sun. Clasping my hands I felt that in this life things might not be so bad if I wake up to this every morning.

Turning away from the sun the maid carried me towards a building that seems like a miniature version of an old fashion mansion. The closer we got the more the style seemed to be similar to Cairnwood and a defense castle. The entrance has a metal arch that has the name Ash on it the "family" name. Being carried in the nurse started to talk to me. I mean literally talk to me. "Welcome to your home miss. I know you're small now, but in a few months once you start walking. That is when you will start learning the rules and the way of being a proper young lady. You will have many struggles, but I promise I will be with you every step of the way." 'Weird woman but I think she has my best interest in mind.'

Carrying me through the gate I saw many wearing a maid outfit as the nurse. Wait doesn't that mean rather than a nurse I am being taken care of by a maid. 'I don't know how I feel about that.' Looking around I saw the doors swing open before the person could open the door. "Malissa, hurry up Master wants this place spotless when the guests arrive." Bumping into us Malissa the maid that was being told off by an elderly man wearing a butler outfit the maid bowed ran past us to continue her duties. Looking at us the butler spoke with respect, "Katrina, do you wish me to take miss Mallory?" Grasping onto Katrina I reached one hand out to the old man. Looking at him sneer at my hand I knew that I didn't like his expression. Holding onto Katrina I withdrew my hand and held onto Katrina with both hands this time. 'Don't hand me to that man.' Feeling my grasp Katrina looked at me and looked back at the man and replied, "Gilbert, I think I can manage I think you are the one who needs more help." Walking away she directed me through my new home.

I know it might seem weird especially since I am an infant, but she was telling me whose room belonged to whom. Allan the first son is in the room on the top floor two doors down on the left. My Fathers room is down the largest corridor towards the back with the double doors. to the left of his room is my mother's room. Turns out my mother's name is Crystal and my father is Christian. To the right of my father's room is his second wife Tatilianna she is the birth mother of my first oldest brother Allan who is 13. She also has given birth to 3 other children. James 11, Maddie 9, Alexander 9. Maddie and Alexander are twins. Maddie is on the first floor 5 doors down the back corridor and Alexander is in the room above hers. James' room is located on the opposite side of Allan's room.

My mother Crystal is the first wife of my father and she gave birth to 7 children not counting me. Apparently, I had an elder brother who was supposed to turn 17 this year but he passed away due to cancer before his birthday. His name was Mathew. Then there is Chris he is 13 as well he was born 2 weeks after Allan. Then there is Titonia 12, Catie 12, Johnathan 11, Christopher 11, Addison 5, Alissa 4. As I noticed that they have the same age I found out that Titonia and Catie are twins. As well as Johnathan, and Christopher. Chris's room is what used to be Mathew's it is the first door on the right of Allan. Titania and Catie's room is in the back hallway on the first floor on opposite sides of Maddie. Johnathan and Christopher's rooms are on the top floor with Chris, Allan, Alexander. Johnathan is on the left side next to Alexander's room. Christopher's room is on the opposite side of Johnathan. Addison and Alissa currently share a room on the first floor because of Alissa's night terror's.

"I hope miss Alissa gets over her night terror's some time. It is so unfortunate that she was in a carriage accident to cause these attacks." Looking at Katrina as she talked about many of the things I discovered more and more about my family. 'Youngest daughter of 10 well I know one thing I won't be inheriting anything when I grow up.' *Blam* Hearing a door slam open I saw a young boy with bright red hair and yellow eyes run through the hall. That was when I heard a man yell out, "YOUNG MASTER ALLAN!! YOUR LESSON'S!!" Looking back the young boy who is apparently my oldest brother looked back and stuck out his tongue. Without looking where he was going he ran straight into Katrina who was so surprised. Allan a boy who reaches the hight of Katrina's shoulder knocked her over causing her to fall on her bum holding me in her arm's. Scowling at us Allan glared at Katrina though as soon as he saw me he realized that I am his new baby half-sister. Being giddy once more he lifted me out of Katrina's arms and threw me in the air. 'WTF who just throws a newborn infant in the air?' Falling my brother caught me with a side sweep of his arm causing me to land with no pain in his arms. 'Oh god, I hope he doesn't do that again.' Contrary to my wish he did do it again that time after catching me a second time he planted a sweet kiss on my forehead. Holding me close to his chest he started to carry me to his room where he ran from earlier.

Looking at Allan carrying me the man that yelled at Allan earlier and looked at him as if he was crazy. "Young master I know that you are excited to have another baby sister. Though please understand acting the way you did just now is unbefitting of the heir." Glaring at the man who seemed to be a few years younger than Gilbert Allan walked into his room with me in his arms. Looking over to Katrina she was still on the ground in utter shock at what she just saw. Deciding to snap her out of her trance I did something that anyone would find adorable, "Kbtena boo baba." ("Katrina hey, Brother,") That's right I tried to speak. Surprisingly even though this is my second day being born into this world I am actually able to sound out words but I can't entirely speak. Looking at my half-brother I reached up at him and babbled once more, "Pluthea mmd bounb, Baba." ("Put me down, brother.") Making faces I looked back at Katrina.

Seeing me try to talk Katrina seemed so happy she snapped out of her stupor and stood up. Walking over to Allan looking at me Katrina seemed so happy. 'I think she understood I tried to say her name.' Feeling tired I fell asleep in my brother's arms. 'I think that is enough excitement for one day for my baby body.'
