Alec make a hacking cough noise that was a poor attempt at hiding laughter. It came out sounding like a goose was being strangled. Lexi threw him a bemused look as Kain fixed her fiance with a scowl. "There's bottled milk in the fridge at yours," Lexi really didn't like storing human milk in...

"If you get me pregnant again I swear to the Old Gods and New..." she muttered over Daphne's delighted gurgles. The babe was but a few weeks old but had already formed a deep love of being near both of her parents. There were some nights the fussy girl would not settle unless nuzzled between...

By the end of the session most of the cadets were groaning and rubbing sores the likes of which they'd never felt, but every one of them left the arena grinning and excitedly chatting about what they had learnt. Lexi watched them go with a smile, Daphne babbling away. The baby had been quite...

"That's what you get for dancing about!" Lexi heckled from the sideline's causing a few of the cadets in the group to snicker or smile behind their hands. Emboldened by their Captain's hollering, Jared and Brock made the most of their advantage. Guessing that Cassian would attempt to roll back...

Kain scowled at the use of the nickname in front of the young cadets. They glanced briefly to their commander before refocusing on Cassian. A little more determination seemed to steel their spine. "If you can't even pin Cassian, you're both in for a world of hurt when the Commander gets the all...

"Oh, I know," Kain shared a grimace with Cassian before turning to the cadets. He would deal with the fall out as soon as the doctor gave her the all clear, which would be for a few months at least. He had time to organise a strategic mission that took him away just as that happened. In the...

Alec tentatively put a hand on Lexi's shoulder, sensing the building explosion incoming. Kain seemed to sense it too. He had worked with Lexi since they were children; he knew full well that silence was never a good sign. So before she could explode at him he quickly plucked Daphne from her...

"Let's find out!" Lexi clapped her hands together in glee, the same longing Cassian felt reflected in her eye. Even the misty one seemed to swirl with eagerness for release. But before Alec or Cassian could protest, it was Kain who threw an arm out to stop her from getting past him. "Absolutely...

Alec coughed uncomfortably when Lexi returned Cassian's hesitant look with a slow, sinister smirk that promised pleasure with his fear. The young lad was saved from any other heated looks or words as they stepped through the entrance to the training ground. Kain was standing in the middle of a...

"Don't be a stranger!" Felice called as Lexi all but hurled Cassian out of there after he'd made their excuses. She hadn't bothered to say goodbye herself. Alec trailed after them trying not to laugh. "You know you don't actually have to go to those meetings, right?" she shot Alec a look that...

Lexi tried not to sag with obvious relief. "You?" the woman looked momentarily surprised then seemed to realise she had spoken aloud and recollected herself. "Derek here will be so glad to have some more male company I'm sure. I'm Felice, by the way," she held out a hand with another of her...

"Of course there are," Alec blinked at the question as though it were absurd, then seemed to realise who Cassian was. Since Daphne's birth it was often easy to forget the man had spent most of his time stationed there in the Pits, the training ground, or their apartments. He cleared his throat...

Lexi and Alec shared matching grins at Cassian's huff before the young cadet fell into step beside his friends and chatted away about the recent progress in training. During her doctor enforced bedrest, Kain had refused to so much as give her one paper report. Not even a boring one like how...

Well, at least it wouldn't be today that she put Cassian on his arse for the first time in front of their daughter. Lexi would have called that growth except that the day was still young and they had a whole walk to get through. The feel of the sun again on her bare skin made her sigh and the...

Lexi stared at him as he rambled, paced, then lifted Daphne from her arms to swaddle her. "It's not hoards, it's the White Ravens. Our people," she reminded him as she uncurled her legs and stood. She had not admitted to Cassian nor the doctor, but her body had needed the time off. Even if her...
