Exton

As Alise rocks her son her mind goes to Stoney, They are so tired Chiot. All the excitement of seeing the band and the new people has worn them out....

Tara had fallen fast asleep while nursing and was now curled up in the playpen with Chloe, who had also fallen asleep. Alise was rocking Tomas who was waiting for Star to bring the pup back. She and Erik had taken the small wolf outside for a few minutes. Tomas was fighting hard to stay awake, he would drift off and suddenly his eyes would snap open, his gaze searching for the pup.

When Star arrives, Lobo in her arms, Alise lays Tomas down next to his sister and Star puts the puppy next to Tomas. Within minutes they are both sleeping, worn out from playing. Star covers them all with a blanket, including Lobo who has snuggled tight against Tomas.

Erik takes Stars hand and pulls her into his lap, holding her close and whispering to her. Alise turns away, feeling as if she is eavesdropping on the couple. She watches the band and feels Stoneys mind reaching for hers.

Chaton, are you sure you dont mind Silk watching the twins for the night? We would be alone for the first time since they were born...

I dont mind, as long as Silk knows to bring me Tara if she wont take a bottle. She doesnt like them..

She'll be fine Allie, but we will tell Silk, just in case...

Alise visits with Pandora and Raina stops to see the babies and say hello. Alise teases her about her lovers, telling her she is greedy. Raina laughs, hugs her and says “Yeah, I probably am guilty as charged...”

Alise starts to squirm in the booth, unable to find a comfortable position to sit. She feels Stoneys concern, What is wrong Chaton?

I cannot wait to take these pants off. As soon as the band is finished for the night they are coming off!

She feels Ike's and Tori's surprise at her comment and Obs low whistle... my, my mon fluer, so impatient..

Her cheeks turn red and Alise stammers, Not like that... well... yes... like that, but thats not what I meant.. .these pants are so tight on my tummy and….

Her thoughts trail off and Stoney is worried at her silence. He sends to to her, Ob was just teasing, you arent upset are you? Then he gets a warm feeling, a sense of wonder from her..

Chiot, it is Sarah....she is moving...

Alise's mind is flooded with thoughts from her family. She can feel Stoney's happiness and wanting to come over and feel her belly. Tori is smiling and happy too. Ob is confused, Sarah? Bro, our Sarah? How?.... and Ike is all but dancing, the baby is moving!

Alise starts to laugh, content at being part of a family again. While not the one she was born into, they are all her family now, if not more so....
