Sequel: Black Rose

Statues Without Eyes

Work

Just walking towards the crib, I stopped in my tracks since the crying stopped. It was weird, I could've sworn just a few minutes ago I heard Tyler crying before I stepped out of the room. Walking into the nursery, I looked over the crib to see that there was no baby sleeping in the crib anymore.

I tried to control my racing mind as I walked quickly out of the nursery back to Ryan to see if he snuck out to get Tyler when I wasn't looking.

"Do you have Tyler?" I asked as Ryan opened the bathroom door to look at me.
"No, why?"
"I went to go feed him since he was crying and now, he's not in his crib-"
"Whoa, Sylar, calm down, deep breaths," Ryan stepped out of the bathroom to look at me, "Now if he got out, he couldn't get far, he can barely crawl right now. Where any windows open?"
"No," I shook my head, "Ryan, I'm scared."
"Alright, hold on," Ryan motioned to me as he got his gun off the nightstand as I followed him through the house looking for any sign of a break in or anything suspicous.

"Wait," I stopped Ryan as I heard a faint cry in the living room and a voice, "That's Tyler."
"Follow me," Ryan whispered as we walked into the living room to see Kyle playing with Tyler in which we both breathed a sigh.

"Kyle," I groaned walking towards him to get Tyler, "Why didn't you say something? We thought someone kidnapped Tyler."
"I'm sorry Sy," He laughed, "I figured you were getting dressed and I wanted to come see my nephew before going to work."
"Next time, say something, please."
"I will," He nodded.
"Alright so if that's it, I'm going to finish getting ready," Ryan looked at us as I rolled my eyes than smacked Kyle in the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"For making me worry," I looked at him, "Poor thing's probaby hungry now."
"So feed him," He shrugged.
"I have to breast feed," I looked at him, "And unless you want to see that side of me-"
"I'll be in the kitchen," Kyle got up with a sigh as I smiled at him.

As I finished feeding Tyler, Ryan walked into the living room as I got Tyler to burp. I noticed the diaper bag that Ryan had brought out as he sat it down and I handed Tyler to him and the spit up rag.

"Trust me, you'll need it," I smirked at him as he wiped drool off Tyler.
"So Alexx will watch him til we get off work tonight."
"Sounds good. I'll feed him at lunch then get a break in between to feed him again before we get off work."
"Sounds good. Where's Kyle?"
"Kitchen," I directed my attention towards the kitchen, "He didn't want to see me breast feed."
"Kyle! We're leaving in like 10 minutes," Ryan shouted as Kyle walked back out.
"So we're stuck taking you to work huh?" I ruffled his hair lightly as he pushed my arm away.
"For now. Dad's taking me home since my car's in the shop."
"How's the bike?" I asked as he shrugged.
"It's good, we haven't had much practice."
"What?"
"Things have been busy, you had the baby-"
"And what's Jake doing?" I crossed my arms at him.
"I don't know," He shrugged, "But we're practicing tonight."
"Good."
"Will you come out tonight to watch us?"
"I've got some things to do but we'll see, ok? I'll be out there to watch you guys soon enough," I smiled as Ryan got the carrier for Tyler then his keys.

After dropping Tyler off with Alexx, the three of us headed to work in which Ryan was still being the gentlman, helping me out of the car then linking hands as we walked towards the building. Kyle rushed past us to head to the morgue as we still stood outside the building.

Slowly dropping my hand, Ryan gave me a faint smile.
"You know, it's kinda hard to say that we're not dating for work sake when everyone knows I just had your baby and well this engagment ring," I smiled at him as he crossed his arms.
"But you know Stetler, he'll do anything to tear us apart."
"When does he not?" I questioned as pulled my hair back slowly.
"I'll see you later," Ryan smiled.
"Of course," I smiled as I stood on my tippy toes to kiss his lips lightly as he smiled then walked towards the Hummer to head to a crime scene as I headed in the building.

Getting checked in at the front, I got my badge and gun back in which I ran into Natalia as I walked to QD.

"Hey Sylar," Natalia smiled, "Weird being back?"
"A little just more or less the whole not being able to work with Ryan or having to still hide our relationship once we clock in."
"Oh yeah that would suck," She nodded as she watched me open the doors to QD, "Have fun."
"Thanks," I rolled my eyes as I walked into the doors to get started on translating the papers for this case they were working on.

It was a strain since it was mindless ramble until I stumbled onto something that could be very important to all of us in which my eyes grew wide and I continued to keep reading, hoping it'd give some answer.
