slight prayer they wouldn’t awaken, took a deep breath and picked both of the girls up at one time. The feel of them in his arms shook him as he looked into their beautiful faces. The baby stirred, looked at him briefly and said, “Da.”, before snuggling into his arms and falling back to sleep.
The one word had felt like a vice on his heart, and he stood there for a moment just looking at the children in amazement. He was brought out of his thoughts by Jax, who cleared her throat quietly and nodded to the door.
With an answering nod, Reven moved as quickly as he could to the back parking lot of the motel, where the transport was waiting to de-cloak.
It was a testament to the child’s exhaustion when she didn’t stir even when they hit the transport. Reven sat in one of the seats as Jax draped the girls with a blanket and gently tucked it in around Reven’s arms to keep it over them.
He looked down into their sleeping faces as Jax ordered the others to clear all trace of them from the motel and head back to their original drop zone for transport.
She sat beside him and looked at the little ones who seemed so natural laying in the big guy's arms, she thought before clearing her head. Damn, she didn’t need to be thinking shit like that, even though the children were breaking her heart as well.
“The two of them weigh less than my sword.” Reven said, looking at Jax with pained eyes. He didn’t know much about children, but he’d seen the healthy children of his friends and the people in Dillon and knew that none of them were this frail and small.
Jax was trying really hard to see the aggravating man that Reven usually was, but the man sitting beside her, gently cradling two wounded children held no trace of that man. Instead, she was seeing a compassionate, emotional and loving man that she’d never noticed before, and it was doing weird things to her.
She shook her head to try to clear the odd feelings and thoughts. “They will rebound quickly with good food, some care and love. Kids can be resilient like that.”
They spent the rest of the short trip in silence, choosing not to disturb the children with medical techs and scans until they reached Dillon. For some reason, Reven didn’t think it was going to be an easy task and didn’t want to take a chance of frightening them before they were in a more controlled environment.
Once the pilot called back that he was preparing for descent, Reven stood and braced his legs on the floor as he gently held the children in his arms. Jax was wondering what the hell he was doing until she realized that he had stood to absorb the impact of the landing in his legs so the girls wouldn’t be disturbed.
She had one of those brief moments where she thought, ‘awww’, before she shook it off. The guy may have a soft spot for wounded kids and puppies, but he was still an overbearing asshole; Jax thought with a frown.
As soon as the door opened, Grai was waiting for them outside of the craft with a vehicle. He looked at the children with genuine concern and nodded to Reven and Jax to get in the vehicle.
Reven exhaled a sigh of relief when the closing of the doors didn’t wake the girls. He repositioned them in his arms, leaning the older girl’s head on his shoulder.
“Amun is waiting for them.” Grai said to Reven through the Shengari’ as he glanced back at them in the rear-view mirror.
Grai didn’t know what it was about these two babies, but his energy was going nuts, and he felt on edge. Even his beast Death, couldn’t figure out what the problem was, but it kept him prowling in the back of his mind in a hyper vigilant state.
In minutes, he had them parked outside of the closest MedLab to the transport bay. Grai opened Reven’s door while two tech’s held the Lab doors open for him. Jax followed close on Reven’s heels, unwilling to let the little ones out of her sight until she knew
