Vess nodded a little and sighed softly.<span style="color: #00ffff"> "i know, she looked so happy but i just can't accept her with such radical changes. my mother fought with her demons and it made her stronger, this one just had them all erased and it makes her a completely different person. i wish her all the best but i will stay here with the people i can recognize."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ff8000">"i am not fucking that Rayne thank you very much. in fact i haven't gotten laid since i came to this world."</span>he shook his head and looked down.<span style="color: #ff8000">"you have no idea how much it hurt me to let you do that to yourself and your father looked ready to try to skin me alive and he doesn't even know the details... i know no one here sees me as family but i can't help myself, i look at you and i can't help but think of you as my niece who i would gladly give my life to protect despite the fact that my Karrie never let me get close to her."</span>he shook his head and smiled a bit.<span style="color: #ff8000">"nah, i never liked the Loa, but maybe with such a discerning food critic around my skills will improve? speaking of that would you like some more? the carrots should be completely done by now."</span><br/><br/>Ashia smiled a little and shook her head.<span style="color: #404040">"as tempting as that is the broodmothers have started laying their eggs, i have to start being more attentive with my offspring. i won't have time to be making up for lost time."</span>she rubbed The'kal's back with a soft, happy growl and nodded.<span style="color: #404040">"she is a wonderful young woman."</span><br/><br/>Rachel nodded but quickly changed to shaking her head.<span style="color: #0000ff">"don't. i am nowhere near ready for everyone to be suggesting that i ever let Karrie come back into my life... its just salt in the wounds and they hurt enough. between her continual absences, her jealousy over the woman she practically told me to bring into our lives, her jealousy that i showed Ana the emotions that she told me to keep to myself, her anger issues... i built a nursery, a crib and filled the house with everything a baby needs and she didn't even notice nor ever talk about having kids once we actually could. when i was dead it was a blade she drove into my heart repeatedly but as soon as i was alive the whole idea just seemed to vanish from her mind."</span>she broke the hug so she could looked at The'kal and she bit her lip for a moment.<span style="color: #0000ff">"because when i felt the child kicking in it's egg in Analise's belly i felt a warmth inside me that i have never felt before. it's completely different then what i felt for Karrie or what i feel for Ana... the only thing that surpasses the warmth i feel when i think about the child was the rage i felt when that cold hearted bitch knocked on my door and said she was taking my child in the same tone of voice one might discuss doing the laundry. i honestly don't know how i restrained myself from strangling her with her own entrails."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
