    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...

    Lexi looked up from where Daphne nuzzled during her feed to shoot Cassian a look. The Captain of the White Ravens had been good at The Look before, but somehow motherhood had made it more lethal. Even Kain who had learnt over the years to go toe to toe with her when needed had gulped and backed...

    Lexi whirled on her soon to be husband with wild eyes. "Get through it?!" she spluttered. She had barely been able to do a day or two during the Sickness period of her pregnancy and even then she had at least been able to sit at her desk and write reports in between episodes. From the look in...

    Lexi eventually groggily woke to the sounds of quiet laughter from the other room. Her body felt battered and bruised in a way she had never experienced before and she winced as she shifted her position. The warm comforting weight of Cassian at her back made her smile and for a moment, she shut...

    There was a light knock on the bedroom door in the early hours of the morning. The usual bustle of the city outside had already started as most of the Ravens and the townsfolk set about their every day lives. It was a sharp contrast to the feeling in their sanctuary, where two peoples worlds had...

    There was clear relief in the slump of Lexi's shoulders; she hadn't wanted to sleep and leave their daughter unguarded. There was no safer place in the world than this city, Lexi was convinced, but her hormones and emotions were so strong right now she was convinced the only two people who could...

    Lexi gave a quiet laugh. "Really? I thought she looked more like you," she mused, gazing down at their daughters face. "I know what you mean... I didn't think I could love like this. But if something threatened her... I would tear the world apart, Cass. And that scares me," because she could...
