I was not reassured to think that they had just taken three bullets from my body, that the lead was still in my body and that it was likely if that poison would attack me again, but I wanted to believe that that was not going to happen, that everything would be fine However, in my head there was still a doubt, Kaia, I needed to know that she was fine.

"And Kaia?" I asked in just a whisper, looking for the look of Mon-el, but after watching as he smiled at me, I knew that everything was fine. "Can I see her?" I questioned to what my sister left in her search, smiling without being able to avoid it the moment I saw her in her arms, watching as the little girl stretched her arms towards me while she called me. "Hey, baby" I sat her on my legs, hugging her.

I spent my time observing her, wanting to assure myself that she was completely fine, but the little one kept laughing, so I was sure that nothing was happening. Little by little the laughter was giving way to fatigue, as she settled into my arms before falling completely asleep.

"She's asleep," I whispered, handing her to Mon-el, who laid her down in the stroller next to her brother, who was asleep.

"How are you doing, Kaelah?" He asked sitting on the edge of the bed, brushing the hair away from my face. "Don't tell me you're good, I will not believe you," he said before I could answer something.

"I still feel the oppression when breathing" I answered watching him get up to go in search of Alex. "It will be fine, the lamps are making effect" I looked at him seriously while returning to where he had met previously.

I looked at him with some trepidation the moment I saw both my uncle and my father enter the room, feeling like Mon-el was holding my hand, keeping me relaxed, but it was a bit different, since I did not want to face the truth in these moments, so I could not avoid closing my eyes while I waited for them to tell why they were here.

"Can the daxamite get out?" Questioned my uncle, to which I shook my head. "Kaelah ..." He looked at me seriously, but I refused again, Mon-el stayed. "It's okay" he sighed knowing that I wasn't going to accept it. "There may be a way to make your weaknesses disappear ..." He started talking, but I could not let him continue.

"No" I interrupted him, but he tried to continue talking. "No, I said no!" I ended up screaming, when everyone ended up looking at me as if they did not understand what was happening. "I will not allow you to put a needle in my skin, neither of you" I looked at both of them, observing the surprise on my uncle's face. "Those weaknesses make me human and I do not regret having them, I am happy with who I am, with the person in whom you converted me, that you converted me" I pointed out to him believing that after that he would understand it and, the truth is that it was that way.

"Who told you?" He asked turning to my father. "It was you, Zor-el" he accused him, but it was the voice of my aunt, who accused herself as she approached me, kissing my forehead.

"I've heard what happened, are you okay?" She asked me to what I nodded slightly, smiling. "I'm glad, little one" she smiled back.

"Why did you tell her, Astra?" Jor-el asked, but even though I would have liked to be present in the conversation, it was my aunt who insisted that they have to go outside to talk.

I sighed shaking my head, closing my eyes, afraid of how it was going to end that conversation between the two, without being sure about whether I should listen to what my father said, keeping me calm, trying not to panick, but it was hard not to do it. I looked at Mon-el while caressing my face, drying the tears that had begun to slide down my cheeks, smiling at me as he watched me, which made me smile.

"Can we talk alone?" Asked my uncle when he entered again, so after a couple of seconds I ended up nodding and, although Mon-el had a hard time deciding to leave, he finally did, taking the little ones with him. "I'm sorry" he whispered approaching.

"For lying me or playing with my DNA?" I asked angrily.

"For everything" he responded sitting on the edge of the bed. "I understand that you are angry with me, that you don't believe that you can trust me, but what we did was something agreed, something that would be done to the first child of the House of El" He tried to explain.

"Would you have done it to Kal-el?" I asked seriously, waiting for his answer, but he seemed to think about it.

"No, I suppose not," he answered honestly, shrugging his shoulders, which made me shake my head as I looked at him, unable to avoid my anger.

"Why me?" I questioned without giving him time to respond. "I wasn't happy, that made me be different for a long time, it made me afraid for years" I looked at him. "Why didn't you believe my father when he thought it was crazy? Why did you allow me to behave that way when he was just protecting me?" I asked beginning to cry.

"I know, I should have listened to him" he sighed trying to grab my hand, but I moved it angrily. "Would you have believed me with the truth?" he questioned, but I shrugged.

"Can you leave me alone?" I asked observing how he nodded slightly before finally leaving the room.

It was only a couple of seconds since he left until Mon-el came back in, hugging me, letting me sob on his shoulder, while trying to calm me down, but not getting it. I remained with my head resting on his chest with his hand on my cheek, beginning to reassure me, ending up falling asleep in his arms.

I woke up lying on the stretcher again, listening as Mon-el was arguing with his mother about something, so I remained with my eyes closed so I could listen to them, since I was fully aware that if they realized I was awake, they would be silent and I would not have the opportunity to find out. The truth is that I found it hard to find the meaning of what they were saying, the reason why Mon-el was so upset, however, at one point, I could not help but hold my breath, it could not be true.

I started to hyperventilate without being able to avoid it, having to open my eyes to let the tears that were beginning to hold in them escape, feeling Mon-el's hand on my cheek trying to calm me, but we both knew that it would not be possible, not after what I had just heard.

"You have to breathe, Kaelah" he whispered at the same time that I tried, getting a little improvement. "You've heard it, right?" he questioned making her nod.

"It can not be true, I murdered him" I began to doubt many things. "The mark disappeared, if he had been alive ..." I tried to reason, but I was interrupted by Rhea.

"We revived him and he asked me to cover him up, so nobody would know he was alive" she began to speak. "He understood that you were not happy with him, he let you go with Mon-el, but he wants to be present in your life, because he is his brother and these kids are his nephew and niece" she explained at the same time that more doubts assailed my head.

"I don't understand" I whispered. "Why did you ask Mon-el to go to Daxam having Kon-el?" I questioned without allowing her to answer. "Why wait so long to tell?" I asked, breathing again with agitation.

"Kon-el would have stayed here, he can not reign, he is dead to the daxamites" she answered my first question, so I waited for the second. "He wants to see you, he has let time pass, but he wants to see you" she communicated to what I agreed, I needed to prove for myself that what she was telling us was true.

However, the moment she left the room I entered into a discussion with Mon-el, since, obviously, he did not consider it appropriate for me to see him again, if he was alive, since he was acclaiming that all memories would came back to assault me, that we returned to the same situation as a few months ago, when I hardly slept. I only asked him one thing, that he would not leave me alone, that whatever happened, that he would not leave that room, because I was going to need someone with me and it was not going to be any other person than him.

He handed me Kyron at the moment the child started crying, so I sat him on my lap observing how he smiled slightly hugging me, unable to avoid tickling him.

"Who is the most adorable little boy in the world?" I asked between tickling. "You, Kyron" I kissed his cheek before hugging him tightly, wanting to keep him close to me, feeling like the tears were present again.

"You don't have to do it, Kaelah," he whispered, lifting my chin, but I shook my head. "I'm serious, do not push yourself." He looked directly into my eyes.

"I want to do it" I assured in barely a whisper allowing him to kiss me, smiling at him the moment he separated from me.

"You are happy" I heard whispering from the door.

I looked at him, closing my eyes for a few seconds before looking back at him, noticing how he smiled as he watched us, so I waited for him to say something.
