Chapter 5:
The figures became clear through my tear filled eyes. "John, Michael! Why are you guys here?" I said wrapping my arms around them both.
"Wow... big sis? I feel weird calling you that now." Michael said as he bent down and picked me up.
"Well I am not a baby." I said and Cole started crying.
"Speaking of babies, sis, care to explain why there is a baby crying?" John said looking at me. I smiled and blushed and I walked over to the crib and held Cole as close to me as I can. Cole instantly stopped crying and fell back asleep. I laid him back in my crib and went back to talk with my brothers. We talked for a good half an hour before the other boys showed back up.
"So, Wynne , Like my surprise?" Peter asked hugging me from behind as I cooked dinner. I laughed and nodded my head. I turned my head to watch my brother play with the lost boys as if they were small children again. I smiled and turned around to face Peter.
"How did you get them here so fast?" I asked. Peter smiled and made a zipping motion with his fingers across his mouth. I gave him a fake glare. "Oh, yea can you go check on Cole, he has been really fussy all day, I think he is getting sick." I said. Peter nodded his head and kissed my cheek, a motion he has done so many times before, but this somehow felt different. I smiled and turned around to finish cooking dinner.
"So, you and Peter? I knew this was coming since we first came here." Michael said. I didn't look at him, but I knew he saw the blood rushing to my cheeks. "Wynne, thank you!" Michael said giving me a tight hug. I turned and gave him a look that meant you have five seconds to explain. "I bet against John that the reason we were here is because you two finally got together." He said giving a nervous chuckle at the end. This wasn't the first time my brothers bet on me, there was the time I finally told them I loved Peter (John won), The time I told them I was going with Peter (Michael), The time I told them Bella was trying to get me out of the picture (John), and then now (Michael).
"UGH! JOHN!" I said overly agitated. John came walking in and I gave him a look. John scratched the back of his neck and turned to Michael.
"Why did you tell her? and out of curiosity who won?" John said. Michael shrugged his shoulders and I glared at the two of them. I was fuming when Peter walked in with Cole. I held my hands out for Cole, and Peter gladly handed him over, Cole could make me feel better always, and Peter knew this.
"So, another bet, when will you two learn?" Peter asked shaking his head and shoving the two out of the kitchen and back into the living room with the two boys. He then came back in and jumped up so he was sitting on the counter next to where I was cooking. He held his arms out for me and Cole to get a hug. I just handed him Cole and mumbled about having to finish dinner. Peter gave me a sad smile. "Wynne, Cole is starting to get sick, When I take Michael and John back to the mainland, I will stop and grab some medicine, what kind do you think he needs?" Peter asked rocking Cole gently in his arms. I took dinner off the stove and set it on the counter next to Peter.
"I don't know to be honest, grab a couple of most of the stuff there and I will figure it out when you get back." I said and went to set the table. I froze, "You won't be gone long will you?" I asked feeling hurt that he was going to leave. Peter hopped off the counter and then walked over to me. He set Cole down in his highchair, and wrapped his arms around me. He hugged me to his chest tightly.
"I will be back as soon as I get Cole his medicine, that is a promise." He whispered in my ear. I smiled.
"Well, not that I am not happy for you big sis, but I am starving." Michael said standing in the doorway. I shot him a glare and pulled myself from Peter's grasp. I walked around the table and served everyone some food. We all sat at the table and talked, to be honest I missed my brothers and this was nice.
