A/N: Btw I'm gonna try to have a pic or a song to go with each chapter, so please listen to the songs above as you read! I pick ones that especially go well with the chapter :3
~~~
Never would I have thought the great Tom Syndicate would be good with children. It wasn't until Tiff and Lola left us alone for the day with Nicky, that I found out my husband was the best caretaker a parent could ask for.
"What does he want?! He won't stop crying!" I was in full panic mode. The baby would not stop wailing and crying and screaming. I felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown and Tom was not helping. "Tom can you at least try and help me?!" I pleaded.
"Told you I'm busy, I ain't got time for no kids." He waved me off. He was trying to figure out some sort of spell in the new book Wag gave him a few days ago. By the look of determination on his face, I knew he was actually busy. But he could at least help me get the baby to be quiet.
It started to wail louder and I nearly broke down right then and there. "Please be quiet please be quiet please be quiet." I pleaded with the small child and tried to rock it, but it continued to cry and scream. Please for the love of gods, make this baby stop crying.
Tom sighed and put down the book on the table and walked over to me with a look of annoyance on his face. He took one look at the screaming child, then went over to the diaper bag Lola and Tiff left to detach for something. He pulled out some kind of small ring toy and a blanket. He came back over to me and took the baby from my hands, making me sigh in relief. But it still continued to wail even louder. Tom cradled the small child in his hands and stuck the toy in its mouth.
The wailing immediately stopped. It's eyes closed as Tom wrapped the blanket around its waist and began to rock him back in forth, a completely different manner from what I attempted earlier. The baby was sound asleep in no less than two minutes later.
My mind had been blown.
"Wha-how?! What's the toy thing and why did it stop it's crying?!" I exasperated.
He rolled his eyes. "It's a pacifier, and kids love it. And it's not a it, it's a he. You have no experience whatsoever with children, do you?"
"No, and you do?" I stared at the once screaming child, now fast asleep in my husbands arms.
"Took care of Decs little niece when he was on priest duties. It was before you showed up. She was only like six months old and she loved me more than she ever loved that ginger know it all. But like I said, I ain't got time for this stuff. I have to figure out these spells before I meet with Wag tomorrow. So put him in bed and make sure he's on his back. He'll suffocate if you put him on his stomach." He handed me the small sleeping baby and went back to his book of spells.
And then later that night when we were both asleep, the crying started again. Tom slept through almost everything, while I woke up at the smallest sounds. So the baby crying woke me up immediately.
I quickly rushed to the room we kept the crib in, despite the pure aching exhaustion located in every part of my body. The small baby was throwing a fit in his crib, his blankets wadded up and wrinkled. I picked him up and tried to copy what Tom had done. I stuck the pacifier in his mouth and tried to rock him, but it wasn't working. Maybe he was just hungry or something. I pulled a jar of baby food from the diaper bag and tried my hardest to get it open while carry the baby. I succeeded and tried to feed the food to him, but all he did was cough it up and cry louder. What was I doing wrong?!
"You're not holding him right..." I heard a tired voice criticize. I turned to see a sleepy Tom in the door way, giving me a 'are you serious?' look.
"How do I hold him?" I asked, trying with much failure to correctly hold the baby.
Tom sighed again at my ignorance and waved me over to the large mirror in the corner of the room. He stood me in front of it and positioned my arms underneath the child's head and bottom. "You gotta hold his head up...babies have weak necks." After much positioning, I still felt extremely awkward as if I still weren't doing it right. Finally he walked behind me and wrapped his arms around mine, guiding me on what way to hold the small baby. "Like that." He stated and nodded in the direction of the mirror.
I looked into the mirror, a smile spreading across my face at the picture. I was holding the now quiet child in my hands, with Toms wrapped around me in a husbandly manner. We looked like the perfect family. He looked too and smiled as well.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked, resting his chin on the top of my head.
"That we both look really gross at night?" I laughed.
"That too, but...I'm thinkin I want Rosie to come real soon..." He sighed.
We still didn't have a clue as to when Rosie would show up or where. The future had changed now, right? Ianite was gone in the end, forever she had said. She couldn't bring Rosie into the world now. So did our little girl still have a chance at existing?
"I don't even know if she's still gonna exist Tom...Ianites in the end and she said she probably wouldn't return. She's the one who was gonna give us the baby."
"I wish I could see the future..." Toms eyes saddened in the mirror, and I felt a sort of depression as well. There was no chance of seeing our futures if Ianite was gone.
"I could assist in that." A voice interrupted the solemn silence.
"Dude, do you not understand what privacy is?" Tom asked the ceiling.
"Yes I do. I know when you two are about to go at it, that it's my time to leave. But anyways, I can help with your small issue."
"How? Ianites the only one who could see my future." I remembered her words long ago, when she said she could only read my future because I followed her. It seemed like years ago, but it was only a few months.
"Maybe I can't see yours boyo, but I can see your hubby's. I'm sure there's a way you can see it too. I just need to experiment with it at first."
"I don't like the sound of that..." Tom admitted.
"You won't feel a thing. I'll show you in your dreams when your asleep and unaware. Whadya say boys?" He asked us. I looked at Tom in the mirror and he just shrugged his shoulders. I guess it was worth a try to see what's up with Rosie.

Toms p.o.v.
It started almost instantly when I fell asleep again. It was really weird, just like the first time I'd seen my future. It was pitch black and then everything exploded into color all at once.
I saw Sparklez first. He was standing on a hill overlooking a sunset, holding hands with someone. A woman.
He was holding hands with a woman. Had he left me for this woman? Is that what the future had changed to? Oh my god. No this can't be right. He loves me. He wouldn't leave me. Would he?
But then I saw the woman turn her head to the side and smile at him.
Rosie.
Her blue and brown eyes twinkled in the sun as she stared at Sparklez. "Thanks for taking me here Pops."
"Well, I know how much you like things that burn, just like your father..." He shook his head and smiled.
She was still in our future. But who gave her to us? There wasn't a way we could've adopted a kid who had our personalities and traits.
The scene melted away and I was jerked back into darkness. A new scene was painted and it was a lot different than the other one.
Wag stood in front of me, his face looking extremely apologetic. "I am so sorry for this. I was only experimenting with some spells but...I suppose I may have went too far in one of them. I should have asked first and I was being completely foolish for doing these experiments without your consent."
"Just tell us what you did. It couldn't be that bad." I heard Sparklez say from beside of me.
He looked...different. In the last one, I did to get to see his face all that well. But now that I was looking him straight in the eyes, something was extremely different about him. His hair now had a large violet streak going through it. His eyes were a strange purple and brown color. Even his skin looked weird, like he was glowing or something. What had happened to him?
"Um...I created something I shouldn't have." Wag admitted nervously. He looked like he was hiding something behind him bit I couldn't see what it was exactly.
"And it is?" Sparklez asked impatiently, crossing his arms. His arms were...muscled.
Me likey.
"I accidentally created a child that has equal traits to the both of you. I am so sorry." He revealed what he'd been hiding behind his back. A baby. Rosie's smiling face met ours. Sparklez gasped at her eyes. She had the same eyes as always. Brown and blue. She had Sparklez hair and my dimples. She was beautiful. She always was.
"I really didn't mean to, I promise. I was trying to configure a spell that would summon a powerful being with your traits, but instead of a bloodthirsty demon being unleashed who has raging anger and smarts, a baby appeared. I am not quite sure what to do with it...Should I dispose of it or...?"
"No! No...she's beautiful..." Sparklez stared at her with adoring eyes. "Can I hold her?"
Wag made a questioning face towards me. "Um...do you think it safe for him to hold her?"
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't I be okay with it?" I asked confused.
"Well...he's um...you know..." Wag hinted and nodded his head towards Sparklez.
"What are you talking about?" I honesty had no clue what he was hinting at.
"He's right...Maybe I shouldn't hold her. I am insane after all..." Sparklez sighed sadly.
Before I could even ask what that meant, I was pulled back into the dark again.
Another scene.
I was in Sparklez tower. I was in his bedroom actually. He was there with me, but something was wrong with him.
He looked liked he did in the last scene, but now his eyes had something in them I hadn't really seen earlier.
Insanity.
He was curled up on the bed with his knees pressed tightly to his chest. He was muttering things that didn't really make sense. It was like he was asking questions to himself and answering right away. What made him this way? He was practically shaking and twitching all over. He was gonna go insane in the future?! No! I had to stop this! Sparklez can't go insane. He can't. He's the responsible one in our relationship. He's the one who holds it together. If he isn't sane then what's gonna happen to it? What's gonna happen to everyone else?
"Sparklez?" I whispered to him. I put a hand on his arm and he looked up from his knees at me.
"I'm sorry Tom..." He said with tears in his eyes. Black started to corner my vision. No! I didn't want to leave him! He needed me!
I jerked up from the bed, making Sparklez jump as well. "What's wrong? What did you see?" He asked excitedly.
"He saw too much I'm afraid. Apparently my sister has paid no respect to the boundaries of her powers. She is supposed to erase all visions from mortals brains after they see them. You were not supposed to know of this Rosie at all. I'm very sorry, but I have to rid your memories of her and all the things my sister and I have showed you. But you must understand we are only trying to protect the future. It will be quick and painless."
"You're gonna get rid of our memories of Rosie? You can't do that! We need to know she's gonna be real!" Sparklez protested angrily.
"No you don't. I'm sorry Sparkley bum, but what Syn and you have seen could change and destroy the future. Especially what I have shown Syn..." He referenced.
Sparklez insanity. I wouldn't be able to prevent it. Not if I didn't know it was gonna happen.
"It's really gonna happen?" I asked him.
"I should not have shown you. It has only caused you pain."
I looked to Sparklez, who was looking at me with a confused stare. I couldn't stop what was about to happen to him. He was going to suffer for sure.
I kissed him quickly and whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry I couldn't prevent it."
"Prevent wh-"
My mind shut down as my memories of Rosie began to fade.
I'd never see my daughter again until she was born.
