I Am The Luna

We fall silent, pondering on those words. "But we have to try, for their loved ones, for Adriana, for Atticus, for Linette and for Hugh," Valerie says as Kaia now climbs onto my lap and stares up at me. Atticus looks up and nods slowly before he looks away, sighing heavily.

"It's rude to stare," I say quietly, about to move her back onto Valerie's lap, only for her to grab onto my arm and stand up in my lap. Instinctively, I catch her tiny body as she wobbles to stand on my thigh. "She'll fall," I warn the two women, who are smiling in amusement.

"She won't," Zaia says confidently.

"Right...' Take her' I add to Valerie just as Kaia decides to give me a slobbery open-mouthed smack of the lips on my cheek. I pull her back, resisting the urge to wipe my cheek and look down at the child, who smiles up at me with big eyes.

"Aww, she likes you." Valerie gushes in a weird baby voice.

Kaia giggles and I cock a brow.

Damn... how do you hate that?

I look at her parents, but neither seems worried that I'm holding her. I look down at her, not knowing what to say to her, but she doesn't seem bothered as Valerie takes her hand, caressing it with a thumb as she plays with her and makes odd conversation.

It's clear in her eyes that she loves kids... even though they're kind of weird...

"So when are we going to try to heal Atticus's mother?" I ask, trying to get the attention off me holding a baby.

"We?" Atticus asks, looking at me, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"We," Valerie confirms, smiling up at me. "The more the better. Sebastian is Sable too. We need as much manpower as we can." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Does he want to?" Atticus asks her as if I'm not even fucking here.

"I don't have anything against her." I counter, thinking but I do with you.

"Tomorrow morning," Zaia says and I take the chance to pass Kaia to Valerie.

"Sounds like a plan," Sebastian says.

Tomorrow will be interesting...

It's late in the night and Valerie's fast asleep. After our discussion in the lounge she checked in on Ada before turning in for the night. Phad also seen her take a pill before bed, but her mood seemed perfectly fine.

I'm glad she gets it, or I hope she does...

Despite how late it is, I can't sleep, although we had both gotten up extra early for training. But I know why I can't sleep, it's because I want to confront Atticus.

Glancing at the woman in my arms, I slowly ease her head onto the pillow and quietly get up. Picking up my pants, I put them on and leave the room, making my way down the hall. Atticus... now where are you?

I stop outside his door, but he's not there. I keep walking, trying to pick up his scent, which is hard as it lingers all over the place. I hear the faint sound of a piano playing and pause.

Is that him? Everyone should be asleep by now, who would be playing a piano... well, I'll check it out either way.

I follow the sound and I'm led up another flight of stairs and down a hallway until I see the low glow of a light from under a door, the sound of the piano growing louder.

His scent is stronger, and I walk silently down the hall. The musicis incredible, I'll give him that and it's fuelled by emotions. I quietly open the door expecting the music to step, but it doesn't.

Sure enough, Atticus sits at the piano, his shirt open, a bottle of champagne and a glass standing on top of it. So consumed by what he's doing, he's not noticed me.
