Henry took Vicki to the lycan community. His brother James, his wife Jasmine and their children Jaxon and Jenni were all there to greet them. They got hugs all around with Jaxon and Jenni clambering all over them when they sat down.

"You two run and play," Jasmine shooed them away. Vicki knew her kids were somewhere playing. She really wanted them close to her right now but knew they needed to get some things out of the way first. Henry filled them in on what was happening, his voice betraying that he was still a little miffed at Vicki for telling Mike first. Jasmine caught Vicki rolling her eyes when Henry was talking and stifled a giggle.

"Any ideas?" Vicki asked when he was done.

"None. We've had nothing happen but we will certainly be on alert." James told them both. Jasmine offered them dinner but they declined. Vicki wanted to get the kids and head home.

The lycan community was very large, very close-knit and secure. They all had normal everyday jobs, this looked like nothing more than a gated community. However, most of the residents happened to be lycan or something else. There were some vampires, a few fae and one or two witches here and there. For the most part though, it was lycan.

Abbie, Ward and London nearly ran Vicki and Henry over.

"You came here to get us..why?" Abbie was a tad suspicious sometimes.

"Because, we wanted to see your Uncle James and Aunt Jasmine, is that a problem?" Vicki responded, raising an eyebrow.

"No, just wondering," Abbie said unconvinced. They said goodbyes all around heading home soon thereafter.

"Mommy, are you okay?" London asked very quietly.

"Yes, London, I'm fine. I'm just tired." Vicki quickly changed the subject. She asked the children about their day, what they had done and asked them if they'd had fun.

"Yes, we did. But you know what?" Ward asked his eyes wide.

"What?" They both responded in unison.

"That lady that kept staring at us today, she was scary. She's a bad lady I think," Ward told them. Abbie and London nodded in agreement.

"What lady Ward?" Henry asked.

"That lady that was across the street. She just stood there and stared at us for a long time. One of the others came outside and she left really fast," Abbie told her parents.

"Ward, do you think you can draw the lady?" Vicki asked, her heart was pounding. Henry could hear it and knew she was frightened and pissed all at the same time.

"I thought I could mommy, but when I tried, my eyes got all cloudy," Ward frowned.

Vicki nearly got sick with worry. Henry began to grit his teeth in anger knowing that something was terribly, suspecting too that Vicki's dreams were more than just pregnancy dreams.

I only need a few, then I can bring him over. Just three or four... The woman was thinking to herself as she watched the children play. One child in particular caught her eye. A beautiful little girl, long flowing golden hair that fell in curls around her face and down her back. She sat contently and played close to the other children, her thumb in her mouth. She could feel power from this little and the two that were similar in appearance. The woman knew they were magical in some way, she could feel it from afar.

How to get them, she thought to herself. A spell should do it but it would have to be very powerful.

Yes, the blood of these children would be very powerful indeed. She felt the connection, it was there. Something told her these children were very special. She knew the lycan woman was their nanny. Getting past her would be easy...

Vicki told Henry and Gwen she wanted to take care of the children herself tonight. Her request was met with protest.

"Vicki, you need to rest. Let us get them ready for bed, you can read them their story," Henry offered.

"No, Henry, I want to do it myself. I'm pregnant, not crippled," Vicki said as she headed up the stairs.

"Are you going to go after her?" Gwen asked her hands on her hips.

"No, are you?" Henry answered, his arms over his chest.

"If I thought it would do any good, I would in a heartbeat but it won't, " Gwen shook her head, sighed and headed out to her house out back. She stopped and turned before she made her exit.

"Henry, if you need anything.." Gwen started.

"Yes, I know Gwen, thank you," Henry nodded, giving her a slight smile.

After bathing the children, Vicki settled into the girls room to read them a book. They all three piled as closely as they could while she read. Abbie had her head on her mother's shoulder reading over it, twisting Vicki's hair around her finger. London was across Vicki's lap, her head looking up at her, her thumb in her mouth twisting her own hair. Ward was on her other shoulder his arm resting on Vicki's stomach. When Vicki finished reading, she looked at her children. She knew that if anyone ever tried to hurt them, they would not survive. Pregnant or not, Vicki would kill anyone that tried to harm them.

"Mom?" Ward asked.

"Yes?" Vicki absently rubbed his hand that was resting on her stomach.

"What are you going to name the baby?" Vicki paused, looking between the three who were now eagerly awaiting her answer.

"I don't know yet, we're still working on that."

"I want to tell you guys something too," Vicki swallowed a lump in her throat and continued, "I love you all very much and I will never let anything happen to you."

"We know that mom!" Abbie rolled her eyes. Vicki kissed each one of them goodnight, tucked them in, then took Ward to his bedroom to tuck him in.

"I'm sorry I can't remember the woman," Ward told Vicki, his eyes full of sadness at thinking he had let his parents down. Vicki hugged him tightly.

"Ward, don't worry about a thing, okay? It's no big deal. I'm sure it's nothing, no worrying, promise?" She smiled at him trying to reassure him.

"Promise!" he smiled hugging her tightly this time. Vicki headed for her bedroom trying to keep her emotions in check until she got there. She closed the door behind her, leaned against it and let the tears flow. They were tears of anger. She knew that the woman that had been watching them was a problem that she didn't know how she was going to fix. Henry came out of the bathroom in nothing, saw her standing there and immediately went to her. He took her in his arms letting her sob into his chest.

"Vicki, it's okay. I'm sure it's nothing," Vicki pulled away.

"Oh yeah? That's exactly what I just told Ward. And I KNOW I was lying." Henry wiped her tears, kissed her lips and held her again.

"You need to relax, get some rest and I'll check some things out tomorrow," Henry whispered to her.

"How can I relax Henry? How can I take care of something when I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to take care of?" Vicki said as she headed to the bed, sat on it, lying back as she did.

As Henry stood in front of her, Vicki leaned up on her elbows looking at his nude body. He was perfectly sculpted. His abs were defined, every breath he took made them look as if they rippled. Vicki sighed at the very sight of him. His soft hair curling around his face, his full lips curving so slightly as he looked at her, his thighs so sculpted they looked as if they had been carved from stone, his manhood partially erect, proudly displaying his mood, his sexy bedroom eyes...

"Well, I guess you could help me relax a little?" Vicki said licking her lips.

"I could give you a foot massage," he said bending down on one knee. He took her shoes off, then her socks and began rubbing her feet.

"I could think of other areas that might need some...relaxing.." Vicki said suggestively.

"Me too..."
