Henry smiled wearily, " I'm gonna try, thanks for doing this Sebastian", he said sincerely.
" No problem, I'll call you in the morning", he replied.
Henry nodded and crouched down in front of Ethan, " You be good for Uncle Sebastian okay?", Ethan
nodded vehemently. " Good, I love you, see you tomorrow, don't be afraid to tell Uncle Sebastian
when you need something"
" Okay daddy, love you", Ethan said, giving Henry a hug and kiss.
Henry stood and Sebastian pulled him into a hug, " Love you daddy", he said in his best little kid
voice.
Henry laughed and shoved him away.
" Alright little man, lets go", Sebastian said, holding his hand out for his nephew.
Ethan eagerly took it. They waved to Henry as they headed down the hallway. Sebastian's
apprehension eased. He could take care of a kid, especially one who could talk to him. He would do
anything for his brothers and if Henry was able to get some rest tonight then he would do what he
could to help. Sebastian glanced down at Ethan to find him smiling adoringly up at him. Sebastian
smiled. Yeah, he could do this.
Coming Soon...
Chapter 1
How the hell Sebastian got roped into this he will never know. One kid was kicking and
screaming because he didn't want to go to bed while the other one wailed because his brother woke
him up with his screaming. Fucking Henry and Claire. He was never letting them go out on a date
again. Sebastian bounced the two month old Henry in his arms while he waited for Ethan to stop
having his fit. What the hell had made him volunteer to babysit? It was Claire and her pleading blue
eyes. She had said that she and Henry needed a date night and that he was the only one she trusted
with the baby. Sebastian being his arrogant self thought that he could handle two kids at once. What an
asshole!
A screaming four year old Sebastian could handle, but the baby broke his heart. His arms
were flailing, his face was bright red and his little bottom lip was sticking out. Ethan was on the floor
in the living room, kicking and pounding his fists on the floor. Sebastian had had about enough of the
four year old. He put Henry in his swing and turned it on with the music. Then Sebastian went over
and picked Ethan up by his arms. Ethan immediately went limp. Sebastian gritted his teeth. He hated
when the kid did this.
" You can go have your fit in your room mister", Sebastian snapped, tossing Ethan over his shoulder.
Sebastian stomped up the stairs with Ethan beating his little fists on his back. Did he do this
for his parents? Sebastian was going to have to find out. Once in Ethan's room, he dumped the kid on
his bed, turned the nightlight on then left, shutting the door firmly behind him. Sebastian sighed
heavily and headed back downstairs to deal with the still wailing Henry.
Sebastian had thought that he wanted kids. He snorted to himself. Not after tonight. Fuck this
shit. Babies were cute and all but he was going to be happy to give these two back. Not that little
Henry was a problem, he didn't really know any better. He was just doing what baby's do. But Ethan
and the fits he's been having all night were irritating as fuck. No wonder Henry and Claire needed a
break.
Back in the living room, Sebastian turned on the video monitor and set it for Ethan's room.
Ethan was curled up under his covers, fast asleep. The kid had obviously been tired. At least one was
out. Henry was still whining a bit in his swing. At least he wasn't full out crying anymore. His little
lip was still sticking out though. Sebastian glanced at the clock. The kid was probably hungry, again.
Sebastian left him in his swing and headed into the kitchen.
Sebastian prepared a bottle of breast milk Claire had pumped ahead of time and went back
into the living room where Henry was gearing up for another bout of screaming. His face grew red
and his itty bitty fists started pumping. Sebastian went over and scooped him up then went over to the
glider and settled into it. As soon as the bottle was in Henry's mouth, he started sucking away. His
little hand wrapped around Sebastian's thumb, his bright blue eyes staring up at him.
How he had become so comfortable handling a baby was a mystery. He'd never even held a
baby until Henry was born. It just seemed like second nature to him. Claire had called him a natural.
And every time they were together, she somehow commented on how great of a father he would make.
Well, he was content with just being an uncle, fuck you very much. Especially after tonight. This was
the first time he actually babysat all by himself. He was proud of himself. He thought he was doing a
damn good job so far.
Sebastian burped Henry when he was finished. The kid practically passed out when he was
done so Sebastian brought him upstairs and put him in his bassinet in Henry and Claire's room. When
he got back downstairs, he flopped onto the couch and turned on the TV. Sebastian rubbed his
suddenly tired eyes and tried to focus on Sons of Guns, his favorite show.
Sebastian jolted awake, not even realizing he fell asleep. His heart pounded as he looked
around the living room. Something had woken him, but he wasn't sure what. He checked the monitor,
both kids were still sleeping. He checked the clock on the wall, he was only asleep for an hour. That's
when he heard the scratchy-scraping noise coming from the back of the house. Adrenaline raced hard
and fast through his body. Someone was trying to break in. No fucking way!
 Sebastian pulled the SIG 40S&W out of the ankle holster he always wore and stood.
Working as a gunsmith in a gun shop kinda had Sebastian a bit paranoid about going anywhere
without his gun. He's heard so many stories and has seen so many weirdos buy guns that he was wary
of people he didn't know. So Sebastian had gotten a permit to carry as soon as he turned 21 and has
been carrying a gun on his person ever since.
The scratching continued. It sounded like someone was trying to pick the lock on the back
door or something. Sebastian left the lights out as he crept along the wall of the hallway that lead to
the kitchen. Peeking into the kitchen, he could see the back door, the top half of which was glass. Only
thing was that the glass had a shade in between the panels and it was closed. He couldn't see who was
on the other side. If it was Henry and Claire, they would have come in through the garage door. So
whoever was at the back door was not welcome.
Sebastian saw the small flash of light cross the window. Fuckers had a flashlight. They must
have climbed the wrought iron fence that surrounded the property because they couldn't just walk up
the driveway, there was a gate. Sebastian heard one voice curse while another shushed the first one.
Okay, so far he knew there were two, maybe more. He should call the cops, but he left his phone on
the table in the living room. There was no way he was going back and letting these assholes get any
further then the kitchen. Sebastian had kids to protect and he'd die before he let these scumbags get
anywhere near them.
The lock clicked and the world seemed to move in slow motion. Sebastian let out the breath
he was holding and waited as the door opened. He knew the laws in PA and as soon as those
shitheads entered the house he was going to shoot them. He was defending himself and the lives of
two children. He would not be at fault if he managed to kill someone. Not that he really cared either,
as long as Henry and Ethan were safe.
Sebastian saw two figures step into the house. Sebastian dropped into his shooting stance,
aimed and pulled the trigger. There were only two of them and they were both wearing dark clothing [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
