Chapitre 4: Chapter 4
The early next morning, he woke up and got cleaned up; Alice came in and helped him get dressed. For her, it was like playing with a life-size doll. He went into the kitchen and went to make some coffee. Jasper was sitting at the table and saw Stephen struggling because the counters were much taller than him.
"Do you need some help there?" Jasper asks, trying not to laugh a little
Stephen, now just seeing Jasper nodded, "Thank you," he said quietly
Jasper got up and asked what he needed, making a pot of coffee. While that was brewing, Stephen returned to his room and went into a bag. Emmett told him he put it there, and Stephen was happy; in the bag was some cigar. Stephen whispered thank you to Emmett. Stephen looked to the other door next to the entrance to the bathroom and was still shocked they had built a porch outside his room. Stephen opened the sliding glasses door and lit up a cigar.
Stephen was looking into the forest and heard his door open. He turned to see Rose had opened it and was going to the porch.
"Hey Rose, how are you?" he asked, ashing his cigar.
She smiled at him. "I was just checking up on you; what are you doing?"
Stephen told her that he was waiting on coffee to brew, Rose and Stephen talked for a while about different topics, and she told him about the missing info about her story. He hugged her, and she hugged him. She broke away and looked down at him," I may not be able to have kids, but I can settle for a little brother." she said, putting her hands through his hair.
Right after that, Jasper came in and told me the coffee was made, so Rose and I rolled into the kitchen, then Jasper went and sat back down. I glared at Jasper. He looked at me funny, "What" he asked.
I huffed," Jasper, short person problems. I can't reach the cup or the coffee pot."
Rose and Jasper chuckled a bit. I could hear Emmett in the other room laughing. Rose got a cup down from the cabinet and poured some coffee for me. I went to the table with it and put the wheelchair in park, and slid myself to a chair at the table. I asked Jasper how they get forged documents; he told me they had a guy named J. Jenks, a lawyer helping them acquire new Identities since Jasper knew J. Jenks mentor prior to J. Jenks taking over. Stephen asked were Carlisle and Esme were, and they told him they went to J's to get the process in order and some documents.
Rose and Jasper took him through the process of what they were going to do, Stephen was going to get a new first and last name, and with how young he was, it would be easier to explain. They asked me about different first names, " How about Damian or like Theo." Rose asked him
Jasper and Rose argued over names for a while, then Stephen spoke with a grin, "How about Drakul." They both looked at him for a second, then Alice walked in with her chipper self, "Stephen, that literally translates to Dracula in Romanian."
Stephen chuckled slightly, "That's why I thought of it. Only Romanians and like old vampires would get it, and come on, that's funny."
They all had a little laugh for a bit, they soon heard the front doors open, and Carlisle and Esme had gotten back from J's. They walked into the kitchen to see them smiling and trying not to laugh. Esme asked, "What is so funny?"
Rose calmed her laughter," Ask your new son what first name he picked."
Carlisle grinned, "What did you pick, Stephen?"
Stephen looked at them, staring and feeling uneasy with all these eyes. He looked away from them and whispered, "Drakul" he said
Esme and Carlisle trying to hold in their laughter, "Dracula... well, at this moment, if you like the name, use it. I like the sly meaning of it." he said, winking at me.
Esme chipped in," Do you like the name?"
Stephen nodded, "Yeah!" he said, smiling. "It's very exotic, and it's not basic."
They all couldn't argue with what he said. Esme and Carlisle sat at the table with him and explained what he would have to sign so that they could get the legal paperwork. They told him the backstory that they were using for him. They told him they were going to get adoption papers to forge, and the story was that the two of them were looking to add to their family since the public tale of them was that they already couldn't have kids, so it wouldn't look weird when a newly adopted kid showed up.
They asked him to put down the name he wanted to use as his first name. He wrote down Drakul, then Carlisle filled in the last name Cullen. After about 30 minutes, they told him he was done. They did say it would be about three days before he was legal and existed; he nodded at them. Carlisle got up to make a few calls; then he left; Esme got up, kissed his forehead, and asked him if he was hungry. He nodded, then got back into his wheelchair to see if Emmett and Jasper wanted to play games on his computer with him.
------------------------------------
Like clockwork, three days later, while Stephen was talking to Emmett about the baseball games, Carlisle came in and looked at him smiling," Stephen," he said
"Yeah, Carlisle?"
He held up some papers in his hand he held up" Starting today, you are legally Drakul Cullen, " he said as he approached me and hugged me. When he said that, the rest of the family in the house came in to hug me, Esme kissed my cheek, and Rose played with my hair.
Emmett spoke, " Legal, huh? You can now go outside to see the town..."
Carlisle interrupted," Not yet; we will introduce him tomorrow at the town's monthly city hall meetings. We don't want to take him out. It would cause questions without a proper introduction."
They all shook their heads.
Alice looked at me, "Welcome to your new life Drakul."
-------------------------------------
Carlisle, Drakul, and the rest of the Callen family sat in chairs with the town's locals. The Mayor approached the stand, "We just want to say that our town is doing great this month." he said with enthusiasm.
The Mayor went on a long rant about politics and boring crap. Then he asked the Police Chief to come to the stands and discuss how our safe was going. A man about 6 feet with a mustache, curly brown hair, and chocolate eyes approached the podium; he thanked the Mayor and then looked toward the people, "I just want to say thank you for coming to this month's meeting for those that don't know me my name is Charlie Swan I am the Police Chief. I see a couple of new faces here tonight." he looked towards me.
"I want to congratulate the Cullens on their newest child Drakul. They will love him; they are a great family and thank you to Carlisle and Esme for their service in helping this community. I hope you enjoy Forks, kiddo."
After that attention, he started talking about telling the kids to stay out of the woods around this time, with it still being warm and animals still roaming the woods. He then just talked about how they went another month without any problems or accidents.
After the meeting was over, Charlie went over to Carlisle and chatted with him for a few. Some of the local kids came over and introduced themselves. The only two I bothered to remember because they were fun to talk to was Angela Weber and Eric Yorkie, Eric because he was a Geek, and Angela because she didn't feel fake like I don't think she is someone who would talk about you behind your back. They asked me questions about myself and if I was going to start school at the middle school.
"No, High School," Drakul replied
They stood there shocked then Alice came by to help file in the vague response, "Sorry if that sounds weird, but Drakul here is smart, like smart enough to get into high school." she said
Eric replied, " Ohh, so you are a prodigy then?"
"Yeah, I should have started with that; my bad," Drakul replied
"Well, we look forward to seeing you at school sometimes," Angela said
