Luna woke up in the pit's infirmary, groggy and sore. She didn't remember much about the ride home, only that Connor was next to her. She could feel bandages on her sides when she tried to sit up, and the pain tore through her. She screamed out as she sat up, but soon a nurse came in pushing her back into the bed. Luna fought, not sure what had happened, but soon a familiar face was at her side.

"Come on now missy. Lay back and relax." She looked over and saw Edward smiling down at her. She relaxed and let the nurse guide her back to the pillow, but she kept her eyes on Edward. Luna didn't recognize the nurse and she grabbed Edwards hand, pulling him close.

"What happened? Where is Connor or Claudia. Where is everyone else?" Edward soothed her hair back as he leaned close to her ear.

"Sshhh. Don't work yourself up. They are all fine, out in the city today with Carlo and your father. You took ill on the way home and you've been down here for three days missy. You're damn lucky you didn't puncture your lung apparently. Now tell me, is Connor really my blood?" Luna smiled at him, then she looked around the room, finding the nurse writing notes on her file.

"Hey, tell the doctor I'm at a 8 on MY pain scale. so that is like a 15 on the normal one." The nurse nodded and headed off down the hallway. Edward stroked Luna's cheek to get her to look at him again.

"Focus here missy, the boy. Is he really related to me?" Luna put her finger to his lips.

"Shut up and let me get to it. Long story short, yes." Edward stood up and paced the room as his mind raced. How could Connor be related to him? Illegitimate son was always a possibility, but he was sure the time's were off. Grandson? That just made Edward shiver, it's not natural to be just a few years older than your grandson. The sound of footsteps caught his attention, and Edward saw Dr. Shawmack come in to give Luna an injection into her I.V.

"Hey Doc. Told you not to worry you'd end up seeing me again."

"Luna I swear, you're the reason I'm ready to retire. This makes broken bone number 17 for you. I told you that you need to be careful, if you ever end up in a real hospital they are gonig to see all the knitting on your bones and think you've been abused your whole life." Luna smiled at the Doctor.

"Don't worry, I can prove my awkward clumsiness pretty easy, just let me walk and try to chew gum at the same time." Dr. Shawnack looked over Luna, thinking how much she looked like her mother.

"Just get your rest, and no getting up."

"But I have to pee." The Doctor didn't hesitate to put a bed pan on Luna's lap, smiling as she walked out into the hall. Luna called out after her. "Can't I just have a catheter?"

Edward looked at Luna, and she gave him her best wicked smile.

"Help me out of this bed and over to the restroom and I'll tell you all I can about Connor." Edward smirked as he walked over to the bed, helping Luna hobble over to the bathroom, she had him hold onto her saline bag while she used the bathroom. Once she was done she washed her hands and then her face and headed back to her bed. Edward helped her get situated, not telling her he had gotten a full view of her ass. She slid back into bed, pulling the blanket up around her. Edward pulled another blanket up and over her that was folded at the end of the bed.

"Let's see how to explain Connor."

"He's not my son right?"

"No, grandson. His father, Haythem is from your second wife, Tessa."

"And my son Haythem, why didn't these golden ghost people bring him back too?"

"He wasn't an assassin Edward, he was a Templar. You showed him what you could, on how to fight, and how to hide in plain sight, but you never told him you were in the brotherhood. He joined the Templars, becoming their grand master, until his death." It took him a second to process what Luna had just told him.

"How did he die?"

"At the hands of an assassin." Edward stroked his four-day beard, clearly upset about his son and grandson. Luna got comfortable in her bed, moving pillows about when Edward spoke again quietly.

"Does Connor know?" Luna put her hand on his wrist, pulling gently. He turned his gaze to her, her smile grabbing his attention.

"Now listen to me, I told him not to say anything to you. I didn't know how you would react to him, so I thought it would best if he didn't tell you right away."

"Tell me all that you can about him."

"Don't you want to learn from him?"

"Perhaps your right. One thing, did Haythem treat him well?" Luna patted the bed next to her, and Edward sat facing her.

"You have to understand, Haythem was a lot like you, in the way he was charming and handsome. He used those to his advantage, and he had used his charm to befriend the Mohawk tribe Connor's mother belonged to while searching for a safe hold from the first civilization. What he didn't know is that he had found it, he just didn't have a way to open it. Anyway he and Kaniehtí:io, or Zio had a short-lived love affair, Connor resulting. He never knew he had a son until Connor was 17." She could see sorrow in Edward's eyes, and she reached up, touching his neck softly. "Connor may not have had an ideal life, but he turned out to be a damn good man. someone to be proud of." Edward leaned over, hugging Luna closely and whispering in her ear.

"Do you think the boy likes me? As family?" Luna pulled away and smiled at him, looking deep into his blue eyes.

"I wouldn't know, he keeps his feelings hidden." Edward gave her a devilish smile.

"No, everyone knows how he feels about you. He's been the one at your bedside most of the time." Allison noticed movement in the hallway and soon her room was full. Carlo and Hugh had brought everyone back from their trip into the city and they came to check on Luna, happy to see she was now awake. Edward stood up and turned around to see Connor, noticing Connor was only looking at Luna now. Everyone asked how she was feeling and what she remembered and soon they started leaving, heading down to get some dinner. Edward patted Connor on the shoulder and then headed to leaved the two alone. Connor walked over to the side of Luna's bed, taking her hand as he sat on the chair that had been his place for the past few days.

"You gave us all a scare." Luna watched as he ran his thumb over her fingers, seeing a look in his eyes. So much he wanted to say, but he wasn't sure how.

"You know what, I woke up an hour or so ago, and I still haven't eaten, you hungry?" He nodded and got up, asking what she would like. She told him and he leaned down, kissing her forehead as he headed down to the cafeteria. Twenty minutes later and he brought their food back up, eating at her side as she asked about the city visit. He talked about some amusing things that happened, and he asked why some women carried long-haired rats in their bags. Luna about lost it, laughing so hard she had tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Connor, I'm not laughing at you. Alright. So, um, those are dogs. and people call them rat dogs all the time because of their size. If one of those women would have heard you call their dog a rat, they probably would have kicked your ass." Connor was shocked, but after 15 minutes of explaining, he realized Luna wasn't pulling his leg, those were really dogs.

"So where do they have you all staying?"

"They call it an apartment building, not far from here. You have an apartment there."

"Yea, I have half of the top floor. God I can't wait to go home, to sleep in my comfy bed, in my own clothes. I have ton's of room, you could always stay with me if you want." Connor smiled at Luna.

"I would like that, to keep an eye on you. To make sure you are alright." Luna changed the subject, not wanting Connor to be uncomfortable, and soon they were talking about her family. Luna told him that Edward wanted to know about him, and he finally agreed to talk to Edward about it, to give him a fair chance. After a few hours, the nurse came in to give her another dose of a mild pain-killer and Luna felt the effects soon, her eyes were tired and she had a hard time trying to stay awake. Connor pulled his chair close, smoothing Luna's hair back as he chanted softly to her in his native tongue. She smiled as she closed her eyes, hoping he would still be there when she woke up.
