“Why do we need that?” Everyone was shocked, it seemed that, once again, only Joaquin could follow my train of thought.
“You want to bring other orphaned and homeless supernatural children here, right?” He asked me. “I agree wholeheartedly. There are too many displaced supernaturals in this world, and many of them don’t know anything about their heritage because they are raised in the system. There are always problems when these children have their first change in foster care.”
“Exactly.” I smiled at my mate, he really was smart after all, and he definitely understood me.
“That’s a great idea.” Lila beamed.
“You have always been so full of compassion.” Mom smiled at me.
“Will we be able to help them?” Nikki was a little skeptical but she still wanted to help.
“I’m sure we can manipulate the system. With help from Rawlynne and Jackson we will find them. And Juniper can help to heal them.”
“Heal them?” Nikki smiled. “Does she have a special skill set or something?? That’s enviable.”
“She does.” I left it at that, I didn’t need to go into too much detail.
After that discussion we all moved to the living room to drink some wine and talk some more. The sheer amount of passion and ideas my family had for the community was wonderful and it would take a long time to narrow it all down to what was most important.
Mom looked over at me with shock on her face as I sipped a small glass of the red liquid.
“Riviana, what on earth do you think you’re doing?” She snapped at me.
“I know I am not twenty-one, but does that really matter?”
“It’s not that, it’s the baby. Put that glass down this instant.” Lila got just as irate as mom did as she tagged along with her yelling at me.
“About that.” I lowered my head, tears filling my eyes. I had needed to tell them about this subject but I was still nervous and scared. At least I didn’t have to be the one to bring it up.
“It’s ok Mom.” Joaquin tried to calm Lila down.
“It most definitely is not ok.”
“She’s right. She should not be drinking right now.” Nikki added.
“Riviana, do you need to tell us something?” Dad asked me.
I looked at them. All the ones that had not been present during that fight. Mom, Dad, Grandfather, Nikki, Lila, I watched them all for a moment as my eyes filled with tears. I had hoped that I would be able to do this without crying but it looked like I wasn’t able to. Eventually I just nodded in agreement to Dad’s question.
“What happened?” Mom’s hand was in front of her face ready to hold back the emotions that were already welling within her.
“I lost the baby.” My words squeaked out of me on a sob, the tears beginning to stream down my face. I looked to Joaquin for support where he sat beside me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, hugging me close to his side, offering me his warmth and comfort.
“What happened?” Dad’s voice was thick.
“Riviana, are you alright?” Grandfather was worried more about me at that moment.
“Oh, Riviana, I am so sorry.” Lila was on the verge of tears. Mom and Nikki seemed unable to talk as the tears streamed down their faces.
“There was a fight, a battle, that we were not prepared for.” Noah hung his head.
“We didn’t do our jobs properly.” Carter added.
“I failed her.” Joaquin laid his head on top of mine, his voice thick with emotion.
“It wasn’t anyone’s fault. We were simply unprepared and the situation got out of hand.” I tried to smooth the situation over.
Between the four of us that had been there we were able to explain exactly what happened that afternoon. The sorrow was clear on all their faces. Our baby was lost to us and them.
“What matters most is that you’re safe. There will be other chances at a family. But if we had lost you then the world would suffer.” Grandfather’s words were soothing, and true. Joaquin and I would have another chance at having a family. But if I were gone then Joaquin would be alone forever.
“Samuel is right. The most important thing is that we still have the two of you. We can make it through this as long we stick together.” Lila was calming down, trying to be strong for us.
That night, as my family left, each and every one of them hugged me tight as they were leaving. And I made sure to rub Nikki’s growing belly, feeling that warm light inside of her strongly pulsating with it’s lifeforce still intact. I will not let anything happen to this baby, mine would be the only one lost.

I knew that today had been hard on my Little Bunny. She had to share something extremely painful with her family. The heartache was plain to see on everyone’s faces, even mine. But now, I had to help her heal herself. It was up to me to help her move on.
Once the door was shut behind the departing guests I swept my tiny little mate into my arms. She really was little compared to me. It was totally like a big bad wolf preying on a little bunny. That thought always made me grin and my wolf pant with desire.
