I took the tto really examine Halil’s son and I knew he was in trouble. Even after drinking twice his mouth looked dry and his eyes appeared sunken. This Little boy was very dehydrated.
Despite the recent dehydration I saw his strength. Aiden’s stripes were prominent and his features were strong. It was obvious he was pure— blooded Paterian male. He would be powerful when he grew up.
More awake after two feedings Aiden looked around. His wide brown eyes met mine and he held my gaze.
“falil?” he finally asked quietly.

Mentioning Jonathan distracted the boy and he grinned at his new playmate. I sat them on the cushions together and they seemed happy. The rest of the room didn’t exist as far as they were concerned.
Jonathan seemed weaker and more tired than he had when we got here. He sat with Aiden on the cushion next toand played calmly with the toys. My son was usually wild, Aiden‘s condition was slowing them both down.
I sat with the two boys for the remainder of the day. Food was brought forand I fed the boys whenever they wanted. New little ones arrived throughout the afternoon. My two boys didn’t pay any attention to the other children for the most part. They just sat and attended to one another.
Tosu approached Late in the afternoon and crouched beside us.
“They still feed from the breast, so they will stay with you. If their other Brothers cthe women may force you to stay in this area with us,” she said stroking Aiden’s head.
“Their Brothers may be so young their mothers will not bring them yet. If that is so, we will have another gathering Like this one in another Lunar cycle.”
Tosu guidedand we walked back toward the incline. Jonathan walked with me, but Aiden had to be carried by Tosu. He didn’t want to leave the great hall we’d been in, though.
“Halil?” he continued to question Tosu.
“Your Brother is here,” Tosu told him softly. “Halil has gone to The Great Harmonious Spirit. She brought you to your Brother.”

The answer did not satisfy the Little boy completely, but it moved his focus to Jonathan.
“He calls her by her name,” I said absently as we approached the incline.
Tosu laughed lightly. “The answer I wish to give you is ‘Of course he does’, but I understand you humans have titles for your male and female breeders. Nu-reeh was quite surprised when Hannah referred to you as Mama. She thought your nhad been changed.”
“on Earth, it’s what they would have called me,” I said picking up Jonathan.
I propped Jonathan on my hip. He was usually rambunctious and impulsive. I didn’t want him jumping off the incline. Aiden’s presence calmed him, but I wasn’t sure by how much.
“You could go back to Earth,” she said quietly and I stopped walking I was so surprised.
“It is not impossible. Think about what you want,” she finished turning to face me.
My mind swam with the possibility of going home. No more monsters and no more forced breedings. I could go back to school and get training as a teacher.
