Here she was this fierce and mighty woman, and her growing babe was a moonbeam.
Moonbeam? he teased lightly, ignoring the threat in her eyes. She really was far too entertaining to be around at times. He chuckled, but let it fade away. He should return to his.. family? Well, not exactly, but they were under his protection and he had a duty to them.

I will visit again soon.
