Carmen's Updates

Oh your god, I never thought I'd be back in this damn interview room. What do you want? Why are you bothering me? How is my family doing?  Why couldn't you ask Karasu…or Emmy…or the kids? Or even Ciro! Sure he talks like his blood is made with coffee and cocaine, but he is more willing to talk to you then I am.

Fine, where do I even start? My wedding? Fine, we got married in…some town of Japan. The place was full with Karasu's friends. My only friend was my bridesmaid.  I squeezed my then pregnant self into these weird robes Karasu brought for me and we got married. Hoo.Ray.

…yes, Karasu said his…vows or whatever, but I really wasn't paying attention, for a good reason. After he was done his vows, he said I do…I said I do…the kid said it was time to come out and my water broke. Hmph…joy of childbirth my ass! It was horrible! They couldn't get me to a hospital so I had to give birth in the church or…whatever it's called in Japanese. How nice it was to open my legs and push out a child in front of men I have never met before, all taking pictures. The children peeking from between the men's legs saying how gross It looked. Fantastic.

Hours later my screaming first born son was born. What lungs on this kid! Hurt my ears. Karasu cut the cord, doctors cleaned him off and gave him too me. Hmm…eh…cute kid I guess. He stopped crying when he was in my arms and just looked around, trying to process what the hell just happened to him…I assume.

Named him Nash after some tv show I saw…uh…breast fed him like I am supposed to. I mean, those men already saw my umm...down there…so why not see my breasts? How does Emmy do that? Walk around naked all the time? Nudists are brave…weird people.

So um…that's about it. Can I go now? No? What else do you want to know!? About Nash?...Fine. He is a quiet kid. He doesn't cry too much, just stares at things. I guess its nice that he doesn't cry a lot. Karasu got worried and got him checked out for that, but doctors say he is fine. Uh, he does have problems sleeping though.  He will stay up all day, no signs of being sleepy, then the next day; you couldn't wake him up for nothing. That also scared Karasu, he thought Nash had died.

Nash tends to stick to me a lot, which is annoying. Not being around me, or seeing my face after a while does make him cry… loudly. Karasu told me that you don't yell at the baby to shut up, that you instead pick him up and rock him. Hmph…thought the way I did was better. It made him laugh.

So, I do it "Karasu's way" and picked up Nash. The kid instantly lays his head on my chest and listens to my heartbeat. Kinda…kinda cute I guess. Easy too. I can just lay on the couch and read a good mystery novel while Nash enjoys the sound of my heart.
Uh, yes. He loves his father too. Just likes me more. Nash's favorite thing to do with Karasu is yank his hair and watch the faces Karasu makes while he pulls. His pain makes Nash laugh. Something the kid and I both enjoy.

The other kids adore Nash. Barin lets him play with his legos, which Nash promptly tries to shove up his nose and Claira and Katsu keep putting these little hair clips in what little hair Nash has, making Barin angry. I can hear him yelling at Katsu right now.

"STOP DRESSING UP MY BROTHER LIKE A GIRL!" Barin would yell.

"HE'S MORE OF A BROTHER TO ME THAN TO YOU, MISTER ADOPTED! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITH HIM!" Katsu would counter back

"Umm..guys…d-don't fight…please? You're gonna scare Nash." Clair would squeak out while Nash, dolled up like a pretty little princess, would be trying to stick the barrettes up his nose.

Anyway, what else can I tell you so you can leave me alone? Nash likes Ciro, surprisingly. I am guessing because my big brother is all over the place, laughing and acting like a real life cartoon character. I just have to watch Ciro when he is handling Nash. He is a bit too rough sometimes. Caught him putting Nash in the oven to make the baby cake he said he saw on the internet. Had to hold back Karasu from trying to kill my brother.

The only person outside of my family that I tolerate, Emmy, gets along with Nash quite well. She thankfully wears clothes around him. Well, not that it really matters since Nash seems to enjoy trying to pull Emmy's blouse down. I hope he stops that. I have seen Emmy's breasts enough to draw them from photographic memory and I am tired of hearing Karasu say "Atta boy!"

…Now can I go? I am starting to feel sick now and I haven't eaten for days. Been too busy with Nash, my freezer is empty and I could use this time to go hunt and kill a guy before I have to head home and check on the kid. Hmm. Well…if I go home now…put Nash in that baby hammock thing…I could take him with me while I chew on someone's flesh. Then I could spend more time out hunting. Maybe even see if Nash likes the taste of blood. Might save money on baby formula is he likes it. There's a thought…
