"Then stop him!" Brooke yelled.

"Really?" Kal whined. "I can bet if I get involved Harry will punch me. I don't want to get punched."

"Kal," Indianna said and rolled her eyes. "Break them up."

Kal huffed and stepped forward. He placed his hand on Harry's arm and cried out when Harry span round and punched Kal square on the mouth.

"Jesus, I told you!" Kal groaned and Harry swore, realising what he had done.

"Shit," Harry said. "What's your problem, you idiot!"

"Apparently we're not allowed to kill Brandon," Kal said and wiped his bloody lip. "Although that's news to me."

"Brooklyn!" Harry snapped and gently grabbed Brooke and pulled her back when she went to check on Brandon. Even after what he had done, she didn't want to see him badly injured.

"Brooke," Brandon muttered and winced when he pulled himself up from where he had been knocked to the ground. "I just want to talk."

"Just because I don't want you dead or badly hurt doesn't mean I want to talk," Brooke said, her eyes scanning Brandon's injuries. He was bruised but fine. "Are you okay?"

Brandon nodded. "Fine," he said and cracked his jaw.

"Then leave," Brooke said sharply.

"I-"

"Leave," Harry growled.

"I just want to talk to you-"

"Brooke doesn't want to talk to you, Brandon," Indianna called. "Now please get the hell away from my house."

"Brooke, I just want a few minutes-"

"You heard Indie," Brooke said and took a step backwards. "Leave."

"No."

"That's fine, I don't mind making you," Harry said and stepped forward.

"Harry," Indianna warned. "Brandon, go now while you can."

"No."

"Right-"

"Harry!" Brooke shouted and grabbed Harry, pulling him back. "Don't. Brandon, if I talk to you do you promise to leave after?"

"Yes."

"Fine," Brooke sighed. "I'll talk to you."

"No-"

"Yes," Brooke cut Harry off. "We will stay out here and you will go inside."

"I'll be watching from the window," Indianna warned Brandon. "If you do one thing out of line I won't stop whatever Harry does to you."

Brandon swallowed. "Okay."

"Harry, lets go inside," Indianna said softly.

"Fuck no."

"Harry, come on-"

"Fuck off-"

"Harry!" Brooke gasped.

"You can swear at me all you want, but I am your Luna and you're going to listen to me," Indianna said firmly and Brooke turned and raised an eyebrow. She had never heard Indianna sound so sure of herself. "Go inside, Harry."

Indianna was always stuck between two emotions. Loss and power. Sometimes she broke down from loss, and sometimes she got stronger through the power she had.

She had yet to balance both.

"I'll be fine," Brooke whispered and quickly kissed Harry before pushing him in the direction of the house.

Harry narrowed his eyes at his mate and Luna before walking inside.

"Five minutes," Indianna told Brandon and smiled at Brooke before following Harry inside. She went into the lounge and stood by the window, watching but not listening to Brooke and Brandon's conversation.

Indianna daydreamed as she watched Brooke. Her hands went to her stomach and she gently rubbed her small bump. She thought of Greyson and then her baby. Their baby. She couldn't wait to tell her baby all about their dad.

"He would've never let you out of his sight," she whispered. "His baby girl." Indianna had a hunch. It was just a feeling. But she knew. She knew she was going to have a little girl. "How am I going to keep all the guys away from you without a scary dad to frighten them all, eh?"

Indianna watched Brooke as she rolled her eyes and Brandon and turned away, heading towards the house.

"Let's go and talk to auntie Brooke," Indianna said softly and she gasped when she felt a dull thump. "A kick."

"Indie-" Brooke walked into the lounge and paused when she noticed Indianna's expression. "What's wrong? Are you okay? You-"

"A kick," Indianna repeated and jumped when she felt another thump. "She kicked."

"She kicked?" Brooke gasped.

"She kicked!" Indianna smiled.

"Oh my god she kicked!" Brooke grinned and rushed over to Indianna and placed her hand on her stomach. "She kicked!" Brooke squealed. "Indie, that's fantastic!"

"She's okay," Indianna sighed and rested her head on Brooke's shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"I'm always okay," Brooke said and wrapped her arms around her best friend.

"Don't lie to me," Indianna mumbled.

"I told Brandon where to stick it," Brooke whispered. "But he did say he was going to try and stop Rogue from retaliating badly."

Indianna nodded. "Do you want to talk?"

"No, but I do want to eat chocolate and watch some movies," Brooke said. "Can we do that?"

"Definitely, but don't you want to talk to Harry first-"

"He can wait," Brooke said dismissively. "I want to spend some girly time with my best friend. I want to forget about our lives for a short amount of time."

"I wish we could forget for longer."
