I am barely listening as introductions go around and plans are made to move us. I am staring at the chaos down the street, now compounded by people in armour on horses. They keep telling me Miao might be safe, but I still don't feel right trying not to get to her. What if someone decides to torch the building?

Jamie stands, taking my hand and pulling me up. The child within me is kicking like crazy, and it's almost enough to make me double over, but I don't. Don't need anyone else fretting over me more than they are. She wants her sire, and know's he's near. Shhhhh, please settle, your father is... busy... I think, stroking a spot on my belly. He'll find us in his own time.

"Please tell Mab that Wanda's safe with us and that we'll be at the bakery, waiting this out, if she needs us." Jamie's voice cuts through my internal conversation with my daughter, and I look down to realize Chester is planning on leaving. "Don't worry about me, just make sure everyone is safe inside there." I jerk my head back to the mob.

"Well, come on boys." I sigh, raking a hand through my hair, not really wanting to leave and do nothing. "Lets get moving."
