Her Brothers And Her

•26•

Luella continued crying but had thankfully calmed down. Adriel pulled her away to see her face with tear stains on her cheeks. He wiped them with his thumb "Come let's go downstairs"

Adriel picked his sister up as she nuzzled her head into his neck. He went downstairs and entered the living room

Luella lifted her head up to see Ana "Hi" she whispered to her, voice still a bit raspy

"Hey pretty" Ana replied to her sending a smile

Adriel sat down with his sister in his lap "Luella, do you wanna tell me what you saw?"

Luella shook her head and sniffled

"Okay" Adriel whispered

"Mama" Elijah spoke up

Luella looked and saw a little boy sat beside Anastasia "Who's that?" she asked her brother

Well damn.

"That's Elijah, Ana's son" Adriel replied "My son too" he added

Luella looked at her brother confused "What?" she didn't get it

"Elijah is our son"

Luella stared at her brother "You're a daddy?"

Adriel nodded smiling slightly "Yes, I'm a dad"

Luella turned back around, faced Elijah and sent him a smile "He's small"

Ana laughed "Yep, he's only two"

Luella got off Adriel's lap and walked over to Elijah and held his hand "I'm Luella"

Elijah stared at Luella "Cant he say words?" Luella asked looking over at Ana who was smiling at their small interaction

Ana shook her head "Only a couple of words" she said

Luella nodded and went to sit back in her brother's lap "Is your belly better?" Adriel asked as he started tying his sister's hair up

Luella nodded "Uh-huh, where's Xavier?"

"I think he's with his girlfriend" Adriel replied

Luella's eyes widened "He has a girlfriend?"

Adriel nodded

"Adriel is there a spare room? He's falling asleep" Ana spoke up pointing at Elijah who was dozing off

"Take him up to my room, both of you sleep there. I know you're tired. I'll sleep with Luella tonight"

Ana looked at Adriel "Are you sure? Won't you be uncomfortable?"

"No, just take him up. If you need to change just grab something from my dresser"

Ana headed upstairs while Luella and Adriel were chatting away "I forgot about the drawing I made for you at school" Luella frowned

"You can get it on Tuesday, I won't send you in tomorrow," he told his sister

"Can I call Xavier? I miss him lots"

Adriel took his phone out of his pocket and dialled Xavier then handed it over to his sister

"Xavi!"

"Hey baby, are you better now?"

"Kinda, when are you coming home?"

"I just parked I'll be up soon"

"Okay!" Luella yelled back and shut the phone. She ran to the door and opened it waiting impatiently for her brother

"Xavier!" Luella yelled barging into her brother. Xavier picked Ella up and hugged her tight

"Hey" he kissed her temple

"Xavier I have so much to tell you" She whispered into his ear

"Really?"

Luella nodded "But it's top-secret, let's go in your room"

Xavier placed his sister down, held her hand and went upstairs to his room and sat on the bed waiting for his sister to speak

Luella made sure to lock the door so no one heard and muttered 'must be kept safe'

Luella crossed her legs and sat super close to her brother "Adriel is a daddy" She gasped

Xavier held back a laugh "Really!?"

"Yes his son is sleeping in his bed and Ana is the mommy"

"Oh wow" he dramatically gasped

"Yep and he's so small and tiny" she exclaimed

Xavier laughed and grabbed Ella tickling her as she erupted into laughter

Adriel walked upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Anastasia was asleep with Elijah sprawled right next to her as he held his mother's index finger

Adriel walked over and covered Ana with the duvet and placed a kiss on her forehead then a kiss on Elijah's hand

He switched off the light and closed the door walking into his sister's room. He laid on her bed with his arms under his head and sighed

He was tired.

He shut his eyes for a moment till the door opened. Luella walked in and smiled at her brother.

She walked over to her dresser and took out a pair of shorts and put them on then took off her top and placed it into the basket in the corner of her room since she was really warm

She went over to her bed and got onto her bed laying close to her brother

Adriel pulled her closer causing Ella's head to be placed on his chest "You know I love you right" he whispered

Luella nodded and picked up his hand playing with his fingers "I love you too" she said smiling

"You're my favourite sister" he teased. Luella lifted her head and scowled "I'm your only sister silly" she said slapping his arm

Adriel pinched her cheek "Yes, I know. I'm teasing you. You're my favourite out of Xavier and Xander"

Luella giggled "Who's your favourite," Adriel asked smirking

Luella kept silent for a moment "Changes every day" she shrugged

"Fair enough" Adriel admitted "Alright come on, sleep"

Luella kissed her brother's cheek "Night" and got comfortable before dozing off. Adriel hugged Ella close before falling asleep himself
