Troubled feelings
While at home, Minny was easily able to heal her wounds, and her and her mother were busy relaxing, or at least one of them was. Despite being close to her due date, Layla was up on her feet pacing back and forth, biting her fingernails.
'It's been about an hour and he still hasn't come back. I can't hear screaming, or sense large amounts of aura in the settlement. Just what is he doing, and being away for this long? I wish I had the shadow power right now and could get to him and pull his ear.' Layla thought.
"Mommy relax." Minny said, as she pulled Layla's hand down to a seat in the kitchen. "Dad has always gotten us out of trouble before. Even if he makes a mess, I'm sure he can clean it up."
Layla gave a nervous smile back to her daughter, because in some ways, that was what she was worried about. While it was a bit stressful in the Talen household, a certain knock was heard at the door.
"I'll get it, you just stay here." Minny said.
