NovelEnglishMy temper threatened to spill over, but Tyle’s family was approaching. I was forced to school my features as Damien’s family greeted them heartily. Bane slapped his son on the shoulder and then hugged him. The young man was taken aback by the greeting, but he reciprocated. Bane happily explained the Earth tradition to the boys as we started.
We really should not have stayed tonight. At least, I should not have stayed. I couldn’t focus on the training, because I couldn’t calm down. I couldn’t stop making mistakes and I snapped at Bane several times. Considering my supposed position in the compound the young boys found it very odd.
When we finally left the stadium, I refused to speak with my family. They tried to soothe me, but it did not work.
“Why so upset?” Christof finally asked.

“You adore your children and look forward to contact with them. Why fight what you Love so dearly?”
“They-are-taken-from-me,” I said through clenched teeth. “I am not permitted to see them when I like. If this is a boy, after they take him, I will never see him again.”
Damien snorted at my ‘obvious confusion’ as he called it. Hannah was a fine member of the family, so was Kennedy. They would take the boy foronce they saved us. It was so simple.
Kein dropped us off at our rooms and I stalked in ahead of Damien. I brusquely moved to shower by myself, cleaning my body before they had a chance to join me. Once I was done I grabbed the pad Kennedy had sent and stalked into the bedroom. Christof tried to follow and I wouldn’t have it.

My anger and fear poured out to the two girls who knewbest. It felt wrong complaining to my young daughters, but I really had no one else.

“What if it is a weak woman?” I asked petting my belly, “What if she is Like me? Will the women destroy her?”
My voice was Laced with fear and dread. If this baby turned out more human than Paterian, I wasn’t sure what would happen. I wasn’t sure my mind could withstand the destruction of my child.
Dara spoke up and did the soothing then, “Mama,” she addressed me, “That will not happen. We have learned much over the years and forgotten none of it. The human…I believe Kennedy would use the word *genome’ is very flexible. Every single offspring from mixed Paterian-human pairings has taken the best of both species.”
I nodded and wiped away tears. That was relieving to know.
