Chapter 3
It was the next morning when Steve and I came into the house. Thor chuckles. "Wow. Done already?" He asks. I ignore him. "Where's Katrina?" I ask. "Jane's got her." Thor says and I look out the window to see that she indeed as my daughter. She is in safe hands, I know it. I see Brock by the window as well. I huff and look away. Thor leans against the counter and smirks. "So, break a lot of stuff?" Thor asks grinning. "Thor no." I scold him like a dog but he only laughs. I glare at him but then freeze when the phone rings.
I slowly turn my head and I take a deep breath. "Is that George? My dad?" I ask dreading for I already knew the answer. Of course it was, he thinks I am dead but really I am here. Alive.......... different but alive. "He's been calling twice a day." Steve says touching my shoulder. "He's in pretty rough shape." Brock says walking towards us. I was still annoyed with the wolf and he really does stink. Doesn't he ever take a bath? Like seriously. "Eventually, we are going to have to tell him that you didn't make it." Joseph says.
"Do we have to? I mean like I can act human in front of my dad. He's my father." I say feeling guilty. Steve lightly squeezes my shoulder. "He needs to mourn Bucky." Steve says and I close my eyes. Don't cry, don't cry, you got this. Just deep breathes. I look at the others and they nod in agreement. It was now based on my decision. I have to make the call. I am really the only person left for George. I mean like he as no one else to take care of him. The tears fell and I quickly wipe the away.
I'm so, so sorry dad.
I nod my head. "Okay. We will do it tomorrow." I say quietly. They nod and Thor stands up and walks to the Window. "Man, I am going to miss this place." He says. "We'll come back. We always do." Joseph says while reading the paper. Brock looked surprised. "Wait. Nobody said anything aout leaving." He says quickly. "Once people believe that Bucky is dead, we can't risk anyone seeing him." Joseph says. I nod agreeing with him and Brock looked very upset. "So you just disappear?" Brock asks getting angry. He can't lose Katrina. Even Bucky is upset about him imprinting on the Omega's daughter but they can't disappear and take Katrina with them.
"We have no other choice." Steve says quietly and holds me close. Brock gets pissed and storms out of the house. "He seems like he storms out of this house a lot." Thor says. "To me he is acting like a child." I mutter.

Brock turns into the driveway of George Barnes house and sees George chopping wood. George stops and puts the axe down when he see the younger Alpha walking towards him. "Hey, you heard anything yet?" He asks. "George, Bucky is.....uh." He really couldn't tell the man that his Omega son was a vampire and had a baby girl. "No, he's not." George says. Wait what? Oh George thinks that Brock is saying that he is dead. "No, no, no Bucky is fine. He's back and feeling much better." Brock says quickly and the older man looked relived.
"Great." He says and starts to walk off. "Wait, their is something you have to see first." Brock says and starts to strip down. George turns then gimaces. "Brock, put your clothes back on." George says covering his eyes. "What the hell are you doing?" George demands. "Now, this seems strange, like really strange but there re stranger things every day trust me." Brock says and then changes. George gasps and backs up only to fall back.
Brock whines and lowers his head. George looked shocked and slowly moves a hand to touch Brock's head. "How is this possibe?" He asks.
Brock comes up to Steve and I and told us the turth about everything. "What." Steve demands. "Look, I solved the problem. You were leaving, what did you expect me to do?" He asks. I clench my hands into fists. He only did that for Katrina. "You don't realize the danger you've put him in. The Volturi will kill anyone who knows about us." I say angrily. "No, I didn't tell him about you, just me. I just said that you were different." Brock says. What was he thinking. If my dad comes here and I still can't control the hunger. I am a newborn and human blood..... it was hard to stop myself the first time I don't think I can stop myself a second time.
Steve seems to know this as well. "And that we adopted a neice for him." Steve says. "Seriously, he is not going to let that go." I yell angry and upset. "Did you consider the pain he'll put Bucky through? Bucky is a newborn! It'll be like sticking a white hot iron brand down his throat. And that's assuming that he can control his thirst the second time." Steve snarls. "Look, George's been in hell. And I know you'll be much happier with him in your life." He says.
I growl and glare at him. Steve wraps his arms around me. "Brock, don't try and pretend that you're doing this for anyone but yourself." Steve says. I guess even my husband knew that Brock only did it for Katrina. Brock glares at Steve. "Well I'm sorry that you think that because he will be here in ten minutes." He says. "What?" I say and Steve tightens his grip on me as I went to move towards me. Brock backs up afraid.
Brock better be fucking afraid.
I am done with his bullshit.
So I find myself with the rest of the family helping me get prepared for my father. Natasha puts in contact lenses in my eyes so they were my original eyecolour before I turned into a vampire. "Now, these might irritate your eyes at first." She says as I blinked. God they felt werid. I stand up. "The main thing is not to move too fast." Joseph says. I make a face because I knew I sucked at that. I have been trying not to move too fast way before I was even told that dad was coming to see me. "Try taking a seat. Crossing your legs." Sarah says.
I get up and I try to walk slowly to the seat but I blink and I was in the seat and it slide back a little. I blush, embarrassed and slowly cross my legs. They sigh and Natasha and Jane giggles, which is not helping me at the moment. "Maybe a tad slower hmmm." Sarah says. I sigh and nodded. "Also make sure that you blink three times a minute." Natasha says. I do but with the contacts they felt werid so I blink many times so they do not become itchy. "Good." She says smiling.
I knew it wasn't. "For a cartoon character.' Brock says. See? I knew it was horrible. "Hold your breath, so the thirst don't bother you too much." Joseph says so I did. Steve smiles, watching me. "But don't forget to move your shoulders, so it looks like you are breathing." Steve says. So I slowly move my shoulders up and down so it looked like I was breathing. That I can do good. "And don't sit so straight, humans don't do that." Jane says. I slouched a little bit. Huh, I never noticed that between human and vampires. Intersting.
"Okay I got it. Move around a little, blink, slouch." Say and nod to myself but then I hear a car pull up into the driveway. I take a deep breath. "Okay lets do this." I say and sit down onto the couch beside Steve. I hear Joseph walk to the front door and open it. "Hello George." He says. "Where's Bucky?" I hear my father ask. Joseph leads the way and I smile as I see my father walk into the room.
"Bucky?" He asks. "Hi dad." I say and held my breath. God he smells so, so good. No, I can't hurt my dad. I love him too much. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Never better. Healthy as a horse." I say grinning. My dad always said that when I asked him if he was okay. George beams and laughs. But then he sees Brock. "You don't turn into a animal as well right?" He asks. I smile and giggle. I shake my head. "He wishes he was that awesome." Brock comments. "Let's give them some privacy." Steve says and they walk out so it was only my dad and I. George sits down beside me and I pull him into a hug. "Brock uh tells me that this was necessary. What does that mean?" He asks.
"I really think it would be better." I say. "I wanna know what happened to you?" George asks, taking my hands. "I can't tell you." I say quietly and tears start to well up and I blink them away. "I think I deserve a explanation." George says. "You do. But if you really want one, I have to go." I say. "Oh come on. No! No more going away!" George demands and I pull him into a hug again and this time a tear fell down my cheek. It hurts to see this reaction of my father. Damn Brock. Damn him for doing this to me and my father. I feel a wetness on my shoulder and oh god. My dad is crying too. "Dad, you're just gonna have to trust me on this. For whatever reason, I'm alright. I'm more than alright. Can you live with that?" I ask.
He pulls away and gives me a sad look. He wipes the tears away then wipes a tear off mine. "Can Ilive with that? Well I ddon't know, Bucky. I mean, I just watched a kid that I've known my whole life turn into a large dog. My son looks like my son, but doesn't." George says. I look down and sigh. "Can you please just believe that I'll tell you anything that you need to know?" I ask him. "And I don't need to know this?" He asks. "No. Really, you don't." I say and touch his cheek. "Well.... Not gonna lose you again. I can't." George says.
"Then you won't. I promise." I say and this time it was him who pulled me into a hug. We held each other for a few minutes then pull away. "I missed you Buck. So much." He says. I smile. "I missed you too dad. I love you." I say softly. He smiles. "I love you too son." He says. I look over to see Steve coming in with Katrina in his arms. "George, this is Katrina. " Steve says. George stands up and walks over to Steve and my daughter. "Your niece?" He asks confused for a moment. "Our daughter." Steve confirms looking over to me. "Right. The adoption." George says. George then looks at her.
"Katrina?" He asks. "Katrina Winter Rogers." I say. "She's got your eyes Bucky. Need to know I guess." He says. I beamed and he chuckles. "Well sadly I have to go." George says. We walked to his car and he hugs me once more. "See you around dad. Take care of yourself." I say. He smiles fondly. "You as well take care of yourself. " He says and drives off.
