Quinn's POV

My breathing, hiccups. I turn back to Echo, whose grip on me is rather tight, and his father, comes back to life and he goes towards his son. At that moment, something in me awakens.

Call it a motherly love, or getting too attached to the patient, but some in me gave. It gave access to my heart and I wanted Echo to be okay. I wanted him to heal, just like any other kid, but more than that, I was anxious that the IV fluids he still had on would be an overdose for him.

He wakes up, and I try pulling my hand away, and he repeats what he had said a few seconds ago, making me stiff.

"Echo, that is not your mother," his father reprimands.

"But father, she is." he insists, looking at his dad, then back to me.

I smile instead. I know the kid has probably had one too many IV fluids and will need a break from them.

"It's okay, kids are often a bit fazed when they wake up, and they tend to say weird things," I assure the father, whilst still rubbing Echo's hands.

I take out my di

    Arthur's POV Ares is still quiet. He has been the whole time and I am allowing him to cool down, we all need that. After the meal, I wanted to talk to Quin because I also want to see where she wants to stay, how she wants to lead her life. Going forward, her heart and mind is of utmost importance. I had asked Echo to stay with nanna Avery whilst I talk with her. "What do you want to do?" I ask. I closed the door behind us, whilst she headed straight to bed. "You do realise I will probably pass out whilst trying to make a solid conversation with you right?" she chuckles, getting in bed. "I do, but I just wanted to know if you have a plan in mind, if Moon goddess has visited you, if Lia is back," I start. "I don't have a plan if I am honest," she sighs, massaging her temples. "Lia is still quiet, and moon girl hasn't visited me," "Do you want to be a doctor?" I query. I know that is probably a rhetorical question, but I ask nevertheless. "Yes," She nods. "I figured. Do

    Quin’s POV We are in the dining room, everyone with a plate of food in front of them. The table is surrounded by my family. I don’t know, nor have I ever thought that it would extend like this. Arthur next to me, with Dawn on the other side, Winter next to Dawn, then mom, Nanawe, then Echo. The table is filled with light chatter and it's comfortable, so I continue eating my meal without disturbance. Nanawe starts, “What do you want to do?” She looks at me. I look up and point at myself and she nods. “After this, tomorrow, what do you want to do? Where do you want to stay? Let me know, and I’ll have it arranged,” She adds. “I don’t know,” I heavily breathe, placing the utensils on the side. “I just want to relax I guess. Then there is also my job at the hospital, I don't know how and where they think I am, but it's time I go back and have that fixed, do a proper handover if I have to, and well, I guess I still have to decide what I want to do and where I will do it," T

    Nanawe’s POV “Where is everyone?” I arrive at the dining room, and only Dawn is there. It's almost dark out and the house is rather quiet. “Winter is with Quin, Echo is with Quin, probably sleeping, I think," she mutters, her eyes glued on her phone. "Marie is sleeping in Nanna Avery’s room, and Arthur and Nanna Avery are somewhere in the house,” she adds wavering her hand.“How is Quin?” I decided to return to Arthur’s house to get the plan underway. I can’t let the moon goddess down, but I also must consider Quin. She maybe our Luna, but she is also a human. A mother to my grandson and a potential wife to my son. She is to be my daughter, and I will treasure her and protect her, no matter the cost.“She will be fine. She just needs to rest. I heard that Lia is back, how?” she questions.“I made a bargain,” I sit down opposite her.“With what?” She looks up, placing her phone beside her. “I was to train her to be the best Luna yet. The best fighter, the best Queen, and the best s

    Winter’s POV “What is Quin like?” I asked Dawn. “Quin is a fiery ball of life,” she smiles. “She is all good things pretty and kind and loving, man Quin is a lot of things,” She chuckles. “She’s the best mother to our daughter, a good friend and the best doctor Cleopatra has. Being with her has given me reason to continue to fight and keep going. Not just for myself, but for my family and for Marie. She has been my motivation on dark gloomy days, rainy nights and sad moments,” She glees with a joy that I could never explain, tears filling her eyes. “She is all the good there is in the world. She is shiny moments, gracious times and fulfilled promises. She is loyal, has given me endless support, kindness and is selfless. She puts others first time and time again, even at the expense of herself and health,” “Really?” “Yeah,” she looks at me, “She came here for Echo in a heartbeat and when her dad died, she couldn’t take the call because she was in a surgery. But still she,

    Quin’s POV “So, what now?” Arthur asks. “Can I see her, can Ares see her, what happens?” He starts bombarding me with questions. “We wait. I don’t know how long it will take for Lia to come back, but I know that she is back and as soon as she is back, I promise to let her see Ares.” I explain. “I am sorry Arthur, I am so sorry,” I apologize, tears falling. Arthur was fine without me. He and Echo were doing just fine and I came along and invaded when he clearly could live without me and Lia, and I broke their hearts. I broke his heart and Ares’ heart. They didn’t deserve that. “Why are you sorry?” he wipes my tears. “I broke your heart. It was never my intention. I was just trying, -” “It’s okay,” He cuts me. “It’s not your fault,” “But it is. You were happy, with Echo and Ares and Lucind-,” “Don’t,” He stops me. “Don’t mention her. You are here, in this moment and it means I get a second chance with you. It was supposed to be this way. Us going to the city, meeting you lik

    Lucinda’s POV Food arrived when we least expected it. I was chatting my life away with Sydney-Gin, asking about her hobbies and what she likes doing. I found out that I am not the only foodie who enjoys good food and staying at home. To the fair though, it’s not like I had enough freedom, so I am not sure if I really like staying indoors, or I was forced by circumstances. When the food arrived, it was more than I thought. It was a ten-piece chicken meal, with a 2-litre coke, 2 large fries and 6 buns. I wasn’t even mad, but I was equally shocked that a human can eat that much. “We going to finish all of that?” I question. “Nope, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves with how much we can eat. Good food remember?” she replies. “Fair point. When did you start working here?” I start digging in. “Two years ago. I came in as a marketing intern, although I’ve shifted departments twice,” she takes a big bite on her chicken. “Why?” “Extra training. I got better at my job, got bored and sta
