Adam comes to the house the next morning to see Mercy, but Samuel keeps him outside for a moment. I step outside with my arms crossed over my chest and my head held high. Samuel looks over at me when Adam sees me come outside and the two are a little on edge.

"What do you want now? Going to threaten me for caring for my sister?" I ask with anger.

"Marie, Adam is only here to see Mercy," Samuel says. "Please watch your tone when you speak to Adam like that."

"No, I was wrong for what I did the other day and I am sorry. Mercy is your sister and you knew more about caring for her then I did in my angry state. I am sorry and want to thank you for caring for her," Adam says. "How is it you were able to stand up to me at that time?"

"I do not fear you or death," I say plainly. "I am a healer and will put the sick and wounded people before myself. You might call me a shaman, but women being a shaman is not seen often."

"I see," Adam says. "Is Mercy awake right now? I would like to speak to her about what happened yesterday."

"Go on in," I say. "Alexander, come outside with me."

"Okay, mama," Alexander says. He runs past Adam to join me and Samuel outside for a short walk. Samuel puts our son on his back as we walk and he wraps an arm around my waist. I lean against Samuel with a big smile as we enjoy this moment. Alexander points to a fox he sees and wants to chase it, which Samuel obliges our son's request.

"You feeling alright?" Samuel asks.

"Yes, I am fine," I say. "Just a little worried about Mercy and her constantly getting into trouble. I am sure Bran and everyone else has tried everything they can to keep her out of trouble, but knowing my sister she never listens to anyone but herself."

"Hey, you are the same way," Samuel chuckles. "Do you remember when we first met and you were so insistent on taking that one patient that needed a surgery on the spot?"

"How do you remember that? My god," I laugh. "We were at the crash site of a huge car pile up and could not get the patient transported to the hospital in time to get him into surgery. I had seen and aided in a few surgeries before that and figured I could do it."

"Yes, but you did it without the help of a another resident and you were not a full fledged surgeon exactly. I remember hearing you saved the person's life with your death defying stunt when you did the surgery with what you were provided and knew you would get in trouble for it. That was the day I fell in love you because you not only saved a person life, but you risked your career to save that person even if you got in trouble in the end," Samuel says.

"Okay, what about the first patient we had together?" I giggle.

"Ah yes, the arguing husband and wife," Samuel sighs with a smile. "He was cleaning out the gutter or something the wife saw as dangerous and he fell breaking his leg and arm. You were the only orthopedic surgeon available and we pulled you away from your physical therapy place. How did you manage to be both a surgeon and a physical therapist by the way?"

"I asked for less surgeries so I could help my patients from beginning to the end. It was the only thing I wanted to do the most because I hate handing off my unfinished work to someone else. I got great reviews from patients though," I say. Samuel kisses the top of my head while rubbing my shoulder as we watch our son play with a bunny he found. "We have come a long way since then, haven't we?"

"Indeed we did, now we are parents and married," Samuel mutters.

"I never liked you at first," I admitted. Samuel looks at me with a shocked look on his handsome face. "I am being serious, I never liked you when I saw you. You were an handsome and smart man, but you seemed distant and like you were a person that got everything he wanted in his life. You did not talk to many people or make many friends and were always around me, so that made you a big of a stalker."

"Maribella Aurora Thompson-Cornick, I should punish you for saying that to me after all these years," Samuel teases. I laugh when Samuel pulls me in close to him and kisses all over my face with a laugh of his own. Alexander runs over to us and hugs my leg tightly. Samuel and I stop laughing to look at our boy to see he is crying. "Alex, what is the matter?"

"There is someone over there trying to tell me to go to the water," Alexander sniffles. I pick him up quickly while looking around for a sign of anyone.

"We need to go back now, Alexander is not safe," I say quickly. Samuel grabs my hand and we run as fast as we can to get away from whatever is trying to get Alexander. We make it in one piece back to the trailer and I barrel inside with Alexander held tight to me. He is crying with his hands over his ears as I run inside. Mercy and Adam run out to see what is going on and Mercy slides to me.

"What happened?" Mercy asks.

"He tried to eat Alexander! He wanted my boy!" I panic. Mercy holds me in her arms when I begin to shake from my adrenaline while Adam heads outside to check on Samuel. The three of us remain inside the house while the two wolf men check around the house to find whoever wants to eat Mercy and Alexander.
