Chapter 8 is up (mutters about lack of reviews for previous chapter), this should answer the big question everyone has been asking. Read on to find the answers.

StraightJacket xD: Thank you for reviewing! (And being the only reviewer of Chapter 7). Sorry for making you wait so long for this chapter and I hope you aren't disappointed.

I do not own 'I am number four' or any of its characters.

Jane sighed boredly as she shifted in the stuffed armchair in front of the sweltering heater, wiggling her toes absently as she drifted through her thoughts, wishing she could train or do something productive but Adelina had ordered her not to do any strenuous exercise or anything that got her heart rate up. This, of course, had sent Sarah into an overprotective state of mind which had resulted in a heated argument that she'd lost and now she was on borderline bed rest. How her life-mate had won the argument and gotten her to sit around like this day after day still bewildered her but she was quickly growing tired of her own sudden submissiveness and obedience while her mood swings...if she broke down crying one more time because there was no chocolate sauce she was going to kill whoever had last used the damn sauce and not replaced it. She was grateful afterwards though when Sarah hid her away from the others so they didn't get to see her so emotional and at the mercy of her pregnant body. Pregnant body, the idea of being pregnant still made her stomach do flips and made her feel lightheaded but the idea that it was her life-mate's child growing inside her helped keep her a little grounded and Sarah had stepped up for her.

A noise made her twitch as she strained her hearing before relaxing, Adelina was checking in again, no doubt getting a report from Sarah. She bit her lip as a lump started to form in her throat as she wished her Cêpan was alive to guide her through this and comfort her, she'd be more comfortable if it was the Cêpan who'd raised her and taught her so much already, not the one who'd turned on her charge and race for awhile. She didn't trust Adelina but she tolerated her after Sarah had given her a stern talking to and even threatened to take her to a human hospital and a human doctor, what had happened to the fun Sarah? The Sarah she'd made love to under the blue moon. A lop-sided grin spread across her face as the memory of that night surfaced and she readily eased into its embrace.

Flashback - 19 weeks ago:

"Can I look yet?" Sarah asked curiously, a nervous grin on her face as she let her lover lead her, wishing she'd remove the blindfold already.

"Not yet," Jane said with a grin, her eyes shining happily as she led the way before stopping and positioning Sarah just right before moving behind her. "You ready?"

"I was ready back in the car!" Sarah said indignantly but giggled, showing she wasn't really upset.

Jane chuckled before slipping the blindfold off and held her breath, waiting silently and hoped the younger woman approved and could feel the shock and surprise through their bond before relaxing at the happiness and delight before her lips were claimed in a firm kiss. "Surprise."

"I love my surprise," Sarah said happily before looking back at the picnic blanket that was surrounded by a generous number of candles, an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne in reach of the blanket with two glasses and a plate of her favourite chocolates resting on a neat stack of soft blankets in case they got 'cold'. She couldn't imagine anything more romantic as the crickets chirped softly and a wisp of a breeze caressed her cheek in the warm air while the stars shone brightly in the sky, the moon covered by a passing cloud but from the glow behind the cloud it was no doubt full. "How did you-?"

"Loric bond, remember? You kind of projected your dream and I decided to make it come true," Jane said with a smile, brimming with happiness that her efforts hadn't gone to waste and traced the soft lips with her thumb before being granted another kiss. She savoured the kiss, enjoying the pleasant tingles and shivers that went through her before leading the love of her life down to the picnic blanket and popped the bottle of champagne while Sarah got comfortable. "I had to go with non-alcoholic since one of us has to drive home and the last thing I want is for one of us to get caught by the police."

Sarah nodded happily as she watched Jane fill the glasses, she wasn't one for heavy drinking anyway, she knew Jane liked a strong drink every now and then but she didn't appreciate the taste of a lot of alcohol, especially the next morning that would feature her heaving into the toilet with a splitting headache. "Well I wouldn't want to get drunk and end up in a state where you can take advantage of me," she said teasingly as she accepted a glass while her lover snorted. "Don't pretend you haven't done it a time or two."

"Hey!" Jane protested indignantly as she set the bottle back in the ice bucket before taking her own glass. "That first time I was almost blind drunk and the second time...you should not have been wearing that lingerie."

Sarah giggled and grinned widely at the memory. "It was your birthday."

Jane nodded before drinking from her glass, swallowing loudly as she got the memory through their bond and squirmed slightly as she remembered the black and red lingerie complete with garters her lover had stalked into the bedroom with and framed herself against the doorframe for her inspection, she'd almost died at the sight. After a few verbal spurs from Sarah she'd dragged the woman to bed and immediately ravished her, pushing her human body to the limits until sunrise. The lingerie had been ruined, a garter on the ceiling fan, the sheets torn and Sarah had been so bruised and sore she'd needed to go to the doctors just to make sure there was no permanent damage but it had been a night to remember and a very happy birthday for her.

"Earth calling Jane, come back, Jane," Sarah said with a smirk, snapping her fingers in the woman's face, inwardly pleased that she'd left a lasting impression on the loric warrior. She sipped from her glass, letting the loric have a few more minutes in the hot memory before sliding her hand up the warm thigh and grinned innocently when the woman nearly jumped out of her skin at the touch and stared at her. "Welcome back."

Jane blushed and sipped from her glass to hide her embarrassment. "Thanks."

"Any time," Sarah purred seductively and bit back a grin when Jane choked on her drink at the suggestiveness and inkling that she hadn't just been referring to snapping her out of her daydream. She loved that effect she had on the loric, an effect she'd worked hard to earn after learning which buttons to press and how to manipulate her lover to make her feel on cloud nine, a power she respected and coveted. "You ok?"

"Y-Yes," Jane stammered before clearing her throat and blinked when some of the dark seemed to disappear before looking up and blinked at the sight of the full moon she'd been expecting except it was glowing a soft blue, almost the same shade of blue as her loric powers. "Surprise?"

Sarah blinked before following her gaze and gasped at the sight of the moon and shifted closer to her lover as they gazed up at the blue moon. "Wow, that's beautiful."

Jane nodded in agreement before a smile curled on her lips, she couldn't think of anything better to complete the romantic atmosphere than the sight before them in the night sky and pulled the platter of chocolates over and turned them so Sarah could see the heart shape they made. She smiled at her delight when she noticed them before picking one up and brought it to the woman's lips, shivering when the soft lips grazed her fingertips and one was even drawn in and suckled on before being released. "Yummy?"

"Mmm~ I might need seconds before I can give a conclusive answer," Sarah said with a mischievous smile on her lips as Jane immediately offered up another chocolate and she ate it before sucking on the callused fingertips, looking across at the blue eyes, feeling the shivers through the fingers in her mouth as she lashed the pads with her tongue, watching her lover's eyes flutter with enjoyment before slowly releasing them. "Delicious, your turn now."

Jane nodded, shivering again as the smouldering hazel gaze remained in her mind's eye before she focused on the chocolate and opened her mouth and drew in a couple of fingers, working them with the tip of her tongue tenderly. Sarah's fingers were so different from hers, free of calluses and scars, the skin was smooth and soft, untouched by all the bad things in her own life, she slowly relinquished the fingers before claiming a soft kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too," Sarah breathed into the kiss, her hand on the muscled bicep that led to the hand cupping her cheek while her other hand pushed away the platter of chocolates.

Jane raised a brow as the chocolates were pushed away before moaning into the kiss when she felt a hand kneading her breast and managed a gasp before she was silenced by a hungry kiss. She shifted when Sarah laid back and climbed onto her eagerly, deepening the kiss as the passion and heat grew and she muffled her moans in her human lover's mouth as the hands worked her breasts until the nipples were hard and the flesh ached to be freed from its restraints. "I thought you'd want it to go slower," she confessed as they paused for breath.

"Next time," Sarah panted before leaning up to kiss and nibble along the tanned neck, feeling the hardened muscles quiver while the loric gave a primal groan, her eyes closed from the sensations, it gave her shivers whenever she managed to get that reaction from her life-mate and she doubled her efforts. She traced Jane's neck up to her ear and suckled on her earlobe, eliciting what sounded like a cross between a groan and a moan while her hands kneaded and squeezed the breasts hanging over her before tearing the fishnet shirt in half and slid down to pay homage to the two mounds.

"Oh god," Jane groaned, her body trembling from restraint as her hips twitched, her nerves screaming at her to let her body grind on something immediately but she held firm, not about to crack the first few minutes in and over getting her breasts licked, kissed and nibbled on, she had more pride than that. She encouraged the hands on her back before her bra was released and she helped get rid of it and took the opportunity to get rid of Sarah's blouse and bra and looked down at the bounty before her before it moved out of her reach and the hot mouth wrapped around one of her sensitive nipples. "Ooo~! Sarah!"

Sarah grinned into the breast as she flicked her tongue over the hardened nub before letting go and focused her attention on the more neglected mound, one of her hands kneading and massaging the one she'd abandoned while her other hand explored the body that was poised over her. She smirked at the whine from her lover and the desperation through their bond at how badly Jane wanted to touch and pleasure her but she stayed on her mission as she pleasured the two mounds back and forth generously. After what felt like years, she sent both of her hands down to undo the belt and unbutton the jeans that hugged the amazing hips that were the gateway to greater things. She sensed a protest coming and quickly jerked the pants down, forcing the loric to shift to keep her balance and watched her kick off her shoes and try and wiggle free of the jeans while she continued mauling the treasures in front of her.

Jane grit her teeth as she tried to focus on getting her pants off and Sarah was not helping with her pleasurable ministrations on her chest with that damn dancing tongue of hers. As soon as she got her pants off she was going to drag the woman back up and start ravishing her breasts until she moaned her name and begged for her. She grinned triumphantly when she finally kicked free of her jeans and underwear and shifted to grab her lover before starting when the woman slipped down even further and wondered for a brief moment if she was just a human to be able to move so fast. But those thoughts were stopped when she went cross-eyed and let out a shriek, her hips jerking uncontrollably with need as the talented hot tongue of her beloved delved back into her sensitive slit. "S-Sarah!"

"Mmm~," Sarah moaned teasingly, letting the vibrations travel into the trembling flesh before taking another deep lick, working her tongue expertly before pulling out again, thoroughly enjoying herself. The loric was more than prepared for her but she just wanted to be sure and it was fun making her scream her name like that while she could, any second Jane was going to snap from her need and start putting her in an incapacitated state. She ran her hands over the quivering thighs, feeling the tensed muscles before she suckled on a smooth patch of creamy skin lovingly, getting a low groan from the loric as she left her mark on a trembling inner thigh before kissing it tenderly, satisfaction in her eyes as she looked at the dark purple mark.

"S-Sarah," Jane hissed through her teeth, refusing to plead or beg as she dug her nails into the picnic blanket, almost fisting her hands as her hips twitched and jerked, desperate for some delicious friction as her blue eyes darkened with desire. She inhaled sharply with a strangled moan, throwing her head back as she felt the hot tongue meet her flesh again and she panted before voicing a guttural moan and her mate's name breathlessly as her hips jerked, restrained from grinding on Sarah's talented tongue.

Sarah smirked at the hiss from her beloved before resting her cheek on the smooth skin of Jane's inner thigh, inhaling the musky scent deeply with a sigh, her eyes hooded. "God I love you."

"I thought you loved me," Jane panted, looking down at her beloved as she glanced up at her, her cheek still pressed against the inside of her thigh and she shivered at the smouldering look in the hazel eyes.

Sarah smirked before pressing a tender kiss to the thigh. "You're the goddess of my universe and I'll always worship you."

Jane stared for a minute before feeling a flush roll over her as she felt as though her blood had been replaced by lava as her eyes darkened with lust. "Time to offer yourself to your goddess," she purred in a sultry tone.

Sarah swallowed loudly at the seductive tone and desire filled eyes that seemed to look into her very soul before yelping when she was dragged up and into a passionate kiss, feeling the loric's tongue slip into her mouth and welcomed the invader as the kiss deepened and she rolled her hips longingly before lifting them to help get rid of her pants and underwear, hearing them hit the ground in the background.

Jane let herself relax, molding her body against her beloved's slowly, enjoying the sensation as a needy whimper was muffled by her mouth and she gently shifted Sarah's leg as a cool breeze hit her bare back, making her skin burn where it touched Sarah's before feeling as though she'd touched fire itself as she settled her slick core against her mate's with a gasp.

Sarah broke the kiss and released a guttural moan, her eyes squeezed shut as pleasure burned through her and she shifted her hips longingly but didn't have to wait long as Jane started to rub against her deeply, making her eyes flutter at the sensations as she dragged her nails down the loric's shoulders to the hollow of her back. She groaned when her mate arched into her with a low moan and she rolled her hips, meeting the movements willingly. "Ngh, m-my goddess," she moaned before grunting as the loric moved more vigorously, making her regret her earlier teasing.

Jane captured her mate's mouth hungrily, swallowing the pleasured moans and needy whimpers as she rocked against Sarah deeply, silently swearing that she could feel the other woman's pulse beating against her heated slit with each grind and rub and felt herself get even wetter. She bit her beloved's lip before slipping her tongue into the hot cavern, dominating the woman completely as she pinned a wrist against the picnic blanket firmly, refusing to be hindered or distracted.

"Jane," Sarah whimpered as she tried to free her hand from the restrictive hold, desperate to touch her beloved and give her more pleasure while her other hand gripped Jane's back, digging her nails in, as if she were afraid to let go or the loric might leave her. She gasped when a strong shock of pleasure shot up her spine to ricochet around her brain before she latched onto her beloved, desperate for more as their lips locked again.

Jane growled into the kiss as she ground and humped against her mate like an animal in heat, her mind consumed in a haze of unfamiliar lust and need as she ground her human lover into the picnic blanket, breathing heavily as she moved faster, seeing the glowing blue from the moon reflected in the hazel eyes.

Sarah moaned, ignoring the slight pain from the rough treatment but hoped Jane eased off a bit before she left an imprint in the ground under the picnic blanket, and she tossed her head from side to side as the sensations started to build up before looking up at her lover and blinked slightly at the glowing blue eyes looking down at her before her gaze shifted to the blue moon that shone down on them brightly. She gasped and tightened her hold on the loric, moving with her as she started to get close to the edge, matching the desperate movements with her own before letting out a raw sound of pleasure into the still night air.

Jane panted as she listened to the scream of pleasure underneath her and her eyes fluttered as her breathing quickened as something coiled in her stomach before she finally let out her own yell of fulfilment, her body convulsing as a tingling sensation filled every part of her. She gasped down snatches of oxygen as the sensation got stronger and wrapped an arm around her stomach as it almost buzzed before the sensation left her as suddenly as it had come and she collapsed on her exhausted lover.

"Wow," Sarah breathed, staring up at the stars before blinking when she didn't get a response and checked on the loric and stared when she saw she was unconscious before shifting her weight to the side so she wasn't laying on top of her and held her warmly. "I'm going to assume you agree with me on this one."

Jane snuggled into her lover instinctively before relaxing with a sigh on the picnic blanket in the warm embrace of the one and only love of her life, both of them oblivious to the new life budding in the loric's stomach as the blue moon continued to glow.

End Flashback:

Jane startled out of her daydream when she heard a clatter from the kitchen before shifting to get more comfortable, shifting her feet closer to the fire, and wiggled her toes with a weary sigh before her stomach turned, feeling as though it was full of butterflies, and her anxiety levels went off the charts in a heartbeat. She looked around frantically for a threat, straining her senses and cursing her condition that put her at a serious disadvantage.

"Jane?!" Sarah yelped from the kitchen, picking up on the anxiety and ran into the room, looking around for a threat but didn't see any. "Jane, what's wrong?"

"I don't know," Jane said as she kept looking, getting more and more worked up as the feeling got worse until it felt like her insides were bouncing off each other.

"Jane, calm down," Sarah said insistently, trying to keep Jane's anxiety from affecting her since it would be no help to anyone if she started freaking out too.

"Marina, check the security cameras," Adelina ordered as she pulled out her dagger and went from window to window, her eyes wary for anything suspicious or out of place in their snow covered surroundings. She stopped for a second when she saw movement before relaxing as she watched the squirrel bounce across the snow and up a tree quickly, disappearing into a hole that was probably its home. "I don't see anything."

Marina skidded into the surveillance room and her eyes darted from monitor to monitor in quick succession but didn't see anything to be alarmed about. "I've got nothing on the monitors," she reported loudly but didn't look away from the screens, just in case there was something to be seen.

"No, there's something," Jane said insistently as she tried to get her feet under her to get up and check for herself as her stomach did flips and her agitation rose to the point she actually growled at Sarah when she pushed her back into her chair. "Sarah!"

"Sit," Sarah said sternly before looking at Adelina. "Do you sense anything?"

"No, everything is perfectly normal," Adelina said with a frown as she turned away from the window after a minute, not even getting a tickle of suspicion while Jane seemed close to flying off the handle from paranoia and agitation.

Sarah looked back at her mate reassuringly before grimacing as she was slammed back by the agitation and felt as though butterflies were in her stomach. "Jane, it's alright, calm down and take a few breaths before you make yourself sick."

"There is-," Jane started before getting cut off.

"Could you calm down so I don't throw up from the flock of butterflies in my belly?" Sarah inquired dryly, feeling her palms start to sweat as if she were about to make a speech in front of a mob that was armed with torches and pitchforks.

Adelina's frown deepened at the words. "Butterflies?"

"Yeah, you know what butterflies in your stomach means, right?" Sarah asked blankly, not really wanting to explain the concept.

"Kind of like bubbles or a tickle in your stomach?" Adelina offered lightly and relaxed at the nod from the human as she set down her dagger. "You can leave the monitors, Marina; it was just a false alarm."

"Really?" Marina called from the surveillance room uncertainly, checking the monitors again.

"Yes," Adelina said patiently.

"It's not a false alarm!" Jane snapped, not about to tolerate being treated like an idiot, she'd honed her instincts for years to sense danger to keep herself alive and did not like her hard earned abilities being doubted.

"Babe, calm down," Sarah said soothingly as she stroked the blonde locks comfortingly, firmly keeping her pinned in the armchair as the loric glared darkly at the Cêpan. "Jane, remember the baby, you need to stay calm."

"I was calm until she decided to say that I don't know what I'm talking about, like I haven't been living a life on the run and looking over my shoulder," Jane sneered angrily, her eyes narrowing even more on the amused woman, feeling her anger rise at the amusement.

Sarah rubbed her eyes wearily before crouching down in front of her beloved, slipping her hands into the pregnant loric's and squeezed them gently as the blue eyes looked at her. "No one said that or even thought it about you, Jane; everyone knows that you're the strongest loric warrior and that you rightfully earned that title," she said gently and watched the loric huff and grumble.

"I'm telling you, there's something," Jane said insistently, letting go of her anger as the anxiety came back and she looked around before bristling when Adelina moved.

Adelina stopped when she saw the wary look and resisted rolling her eyes at the behaviour as Marina poked her head into the room cautiously. "There is no danger, tell me, what do you feel?"

"Butterflies," Sarah said after a minute as she concentrated on the feeling in her bond with the loric while said loric continued to eye the shadows.

Adelina nodded, not overly surprised at the answer as she put the pieces together before daring death as she approached the pregnant loric before gripping her wrist and nearly got her own broken before she reversed the hold and pressed the other woman's hand to her swollen belly. "That's where the 'butterfly' is," she said bluntly before relaxing when the resistance paused. "Between eighteen and twenty-two weeks is normal for when the baby starts to move enough for you to notice, it feels like butterflies now and is more than likely agitating you since you associate the feeling with a danger warning."

Jane stared dumbly, her face set to stun and her expression was mirrored on Sarah and Marina's faces as they stared at her.

"R-Really?" Marina stammered when she'd regained her ability to speak again, disbelief in her voice and clearly on her face, and she stepped further into the room. "The baby's moving?"

"The baby has been moving for nearly ten weeks," Adelina said casually as she removed her hand from the stunned loric, smiling her amusement at the stupor. "It's just big enough and strong enough to be felt in the womb now."

Sarah shook off half her stupor and looked at her mate before crouching down and splayed her hands over the swollen middle, holding her breath as she waited to feel some kicks or punches.

"I said 'in the womb', you won't feel the movements from the outside for a few more weeks," Adelina said patiently and saw the woman's face fall with disappointment as her hands slipped down the distended belly, resting on the lower section. "But you might feel something through your bond with Six; you're already feeling the butterfly sensations so you may feel the distinct movements before the movements can be felt from the outside."

Sarah nodded, perking up a little as her lips curled in a slight smile, before she looked up at her still silent lover and shifted up to kiss her gently, snapping her out of her stunned state, before she entwined her fingers with the loric's affectionately. "You still in there, gorgeous?"

Jane nodded dazedly, still trying to think clearly, before flinching when she felt the butterfly sensation again and tried to ignore her instinct to be ready to fight as she pressed her hand more firmly to her belly, her forehead creasing slightly as she shifted. "It feels...bubbly."

"Cool," Marina said with a grin, curiosity making her want to feel it as well, before she wished she'd found her life-mate already.

'What are you thinking, love?' Sarah asked silently, still holding her beloved's hands in her own.

'It...I...It feels so...real,' Jane said hesitantly, clearly stilled dazed.

Sarah felt a smile tug her lips as she rested one of her hands on her beloved's belly tenderly. 'Of course it's real, did you think everything up until now was a dream or that you hit your head too hard in training?'

Jane frowned slightly at the playful teasing before letting it go just as quickly. 'No, but...I don't know, feeling it, the baby, moving around...,' she started before shaking her head and managed to wiggle off the armchair with as much dignity as possible before hurrying out of the room.

"J-Jane," Sarah protested, bewildered at the sudden departure and confusing answer. "Babe!"

Marina jumped in her place when the front door slammed before looking at Sarah and her Cêpan with wide eyes. "I didn't-."

"It wasn't you, Marina," Sarah said as she stood up, spying her mate crunching through the snow to the tree swing in the yard, trying to figure out the emotions that weren't her own. "I'll go check on her, help yourselves to whatever's in the fridge."

"Be patient with her, she may be in a mild state of shock," Adelina said warningly, concern in her eye for the loric and the baby. "Just offer reassurance and support."

Sarah nodded before pulling on her thick jacket and a scarf, picking up Jane's oversized jacket as well, before heading out into the chilly air and towards the swing where her beloved was perched. "Jane?" she said gently as she crunched through the snow before holding out the jacket and watched her lover sit silently for a minute before taking it and putting it on and she relaxed before crouching down in front of her. "Babe...tell me what you're thinking."

Jane flinched before looking away; point blank refusing to look at her mate, but her face clearly told that she was upset about something as easily as if it had been written on her forehead in block letters with permanent red marker.

"Jane, come on," Sarah said softly, rubbing the loric's knee comfortingly. "I love you and our baby and I'm worried about you-."

"It's not your baby," Jane said emotionlessly, still not looking at her mate.

Sarah felt as though she'd been slapped as she stared at the woman and opened and closed her mouth several times before swallowing hard as she fought to regain her voice and managed a croak. "W-Wha-."

"It's not your baby," Jane repeated before biting her lip as a lump formed in her throat. "But I don't know who's it is and you're so excited and, and, and happy but it's not yours."

Sarah sat back in the snow, her eyes dimming slightly as she mulled the words over, watching her beloved as much as the loric wasn't watching her. "Jane-."

"I don't want to pretend, I thought I was ok with it but now...that I can feel it? I don't want to do this anymore, Sarah," Jane whispered hoarsely, cursing her mood swings and hormones as she sniffled and wiped away her tears angrily. "If it really was yours...but I don't know whose it is and I don't want it if..."

"Jane...," Sarah started before trailing off, at a loss at what to say.

Jane sniffled again, unable to face her mate. "I'd really like to be alone right now, Sarah."

Sarah felt the words galvanise her back into action as she tightened her grip on the loric's knee sharply, a frown on her face. "Tough titties, you're my woman and I'm not leaving you alone," she said stubbornly before softening her grip. "Jane, I love you and, blood related or not, the baby will be ours, I'll love them as much as I love you."

Jane kept her gaze averted, her eyes dim.

"Jane?" Sarah said softly, trying to get her mate to just look at her.

"I need some time alone...please, Sarah," Jane said hoarsely, shame on her face as she looked at the snow.

Sarah opened her mouth to protest before feeling the words die in her throat and closed her mouth again, helplessness in her hazel eyes, before she nodded reluctantly and kissed her beloved's cheek affectionately before heading back inside, glancing back at the loric on the swing.

"Is she ok?" Marina asked when Sarah came back inside.

Sarah shook the imaginary flakes of snow off her jacket before taking it off and put it back on the rack, smoothing the creases out of it as she tried to think clearly without focusing on her bond with Jane, wanting to give her some privacy despite how worried she was about her beloved."I don't know...she wanted to be alone for a bit."

Adelina frowned slightly as she watched the pregnant loric from the window intently. "She shouldn't be out there by herself; she's exposed and vulnerable to attack."

"I'll let her have some time," Sarah said quietly as she glanced out the window, still feeling her mate's words ringing through her head soundly, worming deeper and deeper into her head to torment her. "She just needs some time and space to think about some things, she'll be alright."

Marina looked from the human to her Cêpan uncertainly, hearing the almost hopeful tone that Sarah spoke with and wondered what had been said and if everything really would be alright.
