I walked down the corridor, glad that my shift was finally done. Just then I heard over the intercom, "Jade, report to delivery room 6."

I sighed and dropped my stuff on a nearby chair, and headed to the delivery room. Inside I saw a little baby lying on a cart, not moving an inch. I walked over, picked it up, and walked out bouncing it up and down. Of course they would need me right as my shift ended. I passed the front desk, and Madison smiled at me, "Another one, huh? It's like no one wanted you to leave."

I sighed, "Seriously. I feel like I was only hired because of my little 'talent'. It's kind of annoying."

She smiled, "Hey, you should be proud of your reputation. In three years, you've saved over 100 babies. That's something that no one else can brag about."

The baby coughed, and started wailing loudly. I handed them over to Madison, "Could you take her to the sleeping room? I REALLY need to get going."

She nodded, "Sure thing. Hope you have fun."

I grabbed my stuff and muttered under my breath, "It's going to be a long month."

I pulled up in front of Grandpa's old house, which was now mine. The mansion was built back in the medieval ages, and was four stories tall. Large windows and stonework were large parts of the design. It looked like a castle, and in case of a crisis, could probably house the entire Casterwill family with rooms to spare. I climbed out of the car and handed Javier the keys, "Is my family here?"

He nodded, "Oui, votre pere et frere ici."

I smiled, "Merci."

I started walking inside when a missile crashed into my stomach, "JADE! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"

He jerked back, "What's that smell?"

I snickered, "That, my dear brother, is the smell of a hospital."

He smiled at me, "So what is your surprise for me?"

I called over to Javier, who was coming our way, "Javier, please tell Daddy that I took Dante out to the fields."

As Javier nodded, I led my brother to the stables on the other side of my property, "How is your school?"

He shrugged, "There is only boys there. It's really strange. But I'm worried about Dad, I mean Metz."

I nodded, "Me too. Whatever he did on that last mission really effected him. I've never seen him this exhausted."

Dante stepped around one of the gardens, "And on the whole ride here he didn't look at me. He seemed lost in his head."

I hugged him, "I'm sure he'll tell us what happened sooner or later."

Dante smiled, "And you are never wrong. Now what's the surprise?"

Then he saw the stables, "NO WAY! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STABLES?"

I smirked, "And you have your own horse."

I whistled, and Danny, the horsemaster, led two horses into the paddock. One was taller than any car I'd seen, pitch black, and terrified of almost everything. The other one was just old enough to ride, soft gold, and calm as you could get. Danny looked at us, "The riding clothes are in the stable."

I chuckled, and gave Dante his clothes, then showed him where to change. I changed out of the smelly scrubs and got into my soft riding clothes. I was buckling on my helmet after storing my clothes when Dante rushed over to me, "This is the best present ever! I love you."

I hugged him too, "Remember that I'm always here for you. Oh, and Elaine hired a butler for you. He should be showing up soon."

Dante raised an eyebrow, "Really? But..."

"He gets to go with you to your school, so you fit in with the snobs."

That made him laugh, and I led him up to the horses. Danny helped him get on the gold one, "This one is named Honey, because she is sweet and calm."

Dante looked at the black one, "And what is that one's name?"

I smiled, "Thunder, because she seems scarier than she really is. She's my horse."

I swung up and she sniffed me, "Yeah, I know that I smell like a nasty hospital."

Yes, your father and brother are here.
