"Papa.''
I grab Colm in my arms and he wraps his tiny fingers around my neck. His eyes bore into mine and my heart melts inside my chest. It has been a year and I still get weak from looking at my babies.
They are identical but they have different characters.
Colm is the attention seeker. The one that people notice first. He is loud and a nagger but I love him to death. I have a bond with the two of them. One that I never even imagined I would have.
It is instant and uncontrollable.
"Why are you always the one that wakes up at night,'' I tell him as I stand up from the bed quietly and walk out of the room. Colin is in their room like he always is but I go to his room to make sure like I always do when Colm wakes up.
The door is ajar and I see the star wars night light through the space.
The moment they started walking, I knew they would do this. Having their own room suddenly isn't such a good idea. Most nights they come out of the room and to ours whenever they wake up. I walk into the room slowly to make sure that he is asleep and just as I thought, he is.
"Why are you awake mister?'' I ask him as we walk out of the room and to the kitchen. This is not the first time that Colm has woken up to disturb us but like most nights and Alanis is usually the one that ends up putting him back to sleep. Recently, I have been trying to do more, be better, have a closer relationship with them and that is why I have been making sure that I am the one that takes him back to his room. Alanis has been amazing through everything, I haven't really been pulling my weight in taking care of them, it is not like he has been complaining but whenever I can, and I want to do more.
I know what he wants but he still rambles the words out to me, if he wasn't my son, I probably won't understand his words but I do.
He wants blood.
This has been a journey.
I didn't know what to expect. No one did when it came to them. I knew that they would have vampire blood inside them. They are hybrids after all but the day I had to watch them drink blood for the first time will always be stuck in my brain. I didn't want them to. I didn't want to start the bloodthirst that I knew would come after but they are still babies and it hasn't been so bad.
I go into the kitchen and switch on the light. His eyes are wide open, I don't even know if I will be able to get him back to sleep now.
I place him on the kitchen counter gently and he stretches his hands out to me "No," he cries. Okay. I guess he is in his clingy mood tonight.
Colm is always in a mood. He reminds me of me when I was younger.
"Fine, I will carry you while I get it,'' I tell him and he jumps up excitedly.
They are growing so fast.
I almost wish they would stop for a while so that I can catch my breath. I don't want to blink and watch them grow. I want them to take their time. I want to savour this blessing that I have been given.
"Daddy,'' I hear Colin before I even see him as he walks into the kitchen.
Okay, now this is a party.
Colm grabs me as I try to go over to my other son. He doesn't want me to let him go. There are days when I would have to juggle both of them and it seems like tonight is one of those times.
"You have to let me pick up your brother.''
He shakes his head "No,'' he utters only a word and I know that if I don't listen to him, he is going to wake the whole house up.
"Fine, I have two arms after all,'' I watch Colin as he slowly walks over to us with his tiny legs. They are the most adorable legs I have ever seen. His eyes are half closed but he doesn't hesitate to raise his hands up as I lift him off the ground with my other hand.
"Why are the two of you awake at the same time,'' I groan as I put them on the counter. Colm grabs my shirt as I try to reach for the fridge.
He is so stubborn.
Just like his father.
My wolf reminds me, even though I already know that. I walk over to the fridge with him as I don't get any objection from Colin who is just rubbing his eyes sleepily. I get the bottles out, the ones that are meant for them and Colm grabs it from me immediately. I walk back to the counter and give the other one to my precious son. He collects it with a faint smile on his face.
"Thank you,'' he answers immediately.
Colm on the other hand is already devouring the liquid in the bottle. I smile at the two of them as I watch them drink the blood. This is a part of them that they got from Alanis, without him, I wouldn't have them, so I love all parts of them.
They haven't woken into their wolves yet and there is no rush. I want them to take their time.
'How happy are you for tomorrow?'' I ask them both. They both look up at me intently as they drink.
"Very happy,'' Colm answers slightly pulling the bottle out of his mouth.
Tomorrow is their birthday party and everyone will be there. The whole family. Both werewolves and vampires. There was a time when I couldn't even imagine having vampires in the community but now, the next Alphas of the pack are vampires.
Right now, I am living a great life.
