Sil's Scientific Discovery Logs (My Vampire System Fanfic)

After the tour, Sil got comfortable at the mansion. Unfortunately, due to his ship being nothing but rubble, it was hard to scavenge his items back, and while Sil did have some stuff in his portal, it did still disappoint him slightly that his guest bedroom would look so empty compared to Logan and Vicky's.

Sil thought about going shopping with them to decorate his room. Should he even bother? He was going back into space eventually. He could potentially ask to have a room reserved for when he'd return from his space trips. Sil thought about it, but he felt a little weird staying at the mansion. He hadn't seen Logan much since they were back on the ship, and Vicky kept looking at him frequently. Maybe he shouldn't have made that joke.

Sil got up and was on his way to look for Logan. He wanted to discuss if there were any plans to visit Quinn when he heard a doorbell ring.

He ran over to the entrance of the mansion and opened the door to see a black-haired man holding a little blonde-haired baby.

"PLEASE take Logan and Vicky's baby back. He keeps escaping his crib and chewing on all of our furniture! I don't even know how he keeps copying abilities!" The man yelled exasperated.

Sil had the baby shoved into his arms and the door closed on him. How the hell does he respond to that? Before Sil could do anything else, he heard the man argue with himself outside before opening the door again.

"Sil! You're back!" Shiro said with a wide smile.

"Shiro!" Sil called out.

"No, it's Vorden."

"Vorden!"

"Actually, it's me, Raten, I'm also saying hi."

"Raten!"

"Oh my god, it was me, Shiro. I was just pretending the whole time!" Shiro cackled. "Sorry, they wanted me to do that."

"Vorden and Raten are working together? How'd you manage that?" Sil questioned.

"I'm just as surprised as you are, how'd you even live with them together? I swear half the time they're at each other's throats." Shiro exclaimed. "Oh wait, they want to say hi, hold on."

Shiro's body relaxed, and his eyes closed. When they opened, his mannerisms completely changed. His posture was straighter, and his face was more calming.

"Sil, it's Vorden! How long has it been since I've seen you?" Vorden said with a smile, and his arms outstretched.

Sil gestured his head towards the direction of the baby he was holding, "We should probably head inside, I need to give him back to Vicky and Logan."

"Right," Vorden awkwardly dropped his arms to his side, "It's still nice to see you again."

Sil and Vorden went inside and walked around the giant mansion.

"Do you know where you're going?" Vorden asked.

"I'm going, to be honest, I really don't know," Sil attempted to chuckle to relieve the tension, "I just got back from space."

"So, what were you up to while traveling? Aside from killing celestials," Vorden asked making light conversation.

Sil's face flushed a little when recalling his travels. He didn't want to admit to Vorden of all people that he was screwing and fooling around with aliens, even going as far as to rate the species he'd met.

"Oh you know…" Sil said before his lack of a response became too suspicious. "... I was around…"

"Around?" Vorden tilted his head. "That's it? You were ONLY focused on getting stronger?"

"Well…" Sil thought about the other stuff he did, but he was still struggling to come up with a family-friendly answer. "...I got stuck on a weed planet and got really high."

Vorden snorted, "Seriously?"

Sil chuckled. "Yeah, it got really wild. Vicky laughed at me."

"Vicky? You started a video call without us?"

"No, we had chat logs." Sil quickly answered.

"Still without us?" Vorden raised a brow.

"It uh… Wasn't something I wanted to share with you because…" Sil began to blush in embarrassment.

"Because what?"

"I was… uh, the logs were created for…" Sil gulped. "Scientific research."

"Scientific research?" Vorden was confused. "For…?"

Sil glanced at the child he was holding. It felt strange to be talking about this to his brother in front of a baby, which was already weird enough to talk about with his sister.

"...rating how well…" Sil's voice was that of a whisper, "*COUGH* aliens were In bed *COUGH*"

Suddenly, Vorden's posture changed, now that of a slouch, and a wicked smile formed on his face, he could tell it was Raten.

"Oh my fucking god, you were doing WHAT?!" Ratan burst out laughing and slapped his hand on Sil's back. "WOOOOWWWWWWW, didn't you used to get on my case for picking up chicks?"

"I was bored!" Sil tried to explain. "And it was for science!"

"Uh huh, yeah, sure, well I hoped you used protection. Hope you didn't get space aids." Raten offhandedly commented.

Sil's face started to get really warm with embarrassment. "Uh…well…"

Raten couldn't believe what it was he was hearing. "YOU WHAT!? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Raten started laughing so hard that he fell to the floor, cackling on his back.

Sil stared at his laughing brother with disappointment. "I regret ever coming back…"

After Ratten managed to recollect himself, they continued to search for either of Jake's parents, or at least find his bedroom.

"Logan! Your baby is back!" Sil yelled out.

"Vicky!" Raten called out. "Take your child back before I punt him!"

"Was he seriously that bad?" Sil looked at Jake who still seemed fast asleep.

"Oh yeah," Raten's face contorted into concern, "I don't know why, but the way he's a prodigy at using abilities at his age freaks me the fuck out."

Vicky heard the two of them in the distance and ran over towards the source.

"Coming!"

She was in the middle of meditating on the second floor, and could tell they were on the first floor. Vicky had lived long enough at the mansion that the acoustics of their sounds told her that. As she made it to a balcony and spotted them, she was about to call out to them before she stopped in her tracks.

The man was carrying a baby, her child.

"H-he's…" Vicky's voice stuttered as she remembered the past of when Hilston would leave every 10 years before returning with a bunch of babies. She couldn't help but be reminded of him when she saw Sil holding her own child. Vicky's grip on the balcony tightened, and the wood creaked.

"Helloooooo?!" Sil called out again.

"Are they usually this fucking deaf when there's visitors around?" Raten couldn't help but ask.

"I don't think so, I just got back." Sil attempted to shrug while not bothering Jake.

Eventually, they managed to find Jake's bedroom. There was a large and round nursery robot in the shape of two spheres that took the baby out of Sil's arms and gently rocked him. When nothing else happened with Jake, they left.

"Are you going with us to the zoo?" Sil asked.

"Well, yeah, It's been how long since we've last talked?" Vorden wrapped an arm around Sil. "I'd recommend getting a razor, cause you—"

"I know I look like him," Sil interrupted. He was slightly annoyed by what Vorden said.
