329–They Want My Reaction.

Nora:

While I remained patiently waiting in my room, Mrs. Fisher arrived with the maids who carried my children. Just the sight of them brought me happiness.

“Here, I will take them back from you in the morning,” my world lit up at the thought of having my kids for that long.

“What about my other child?” I asked before she could exit the room. I was worried about my baby.

“He’s fine,” she replied, “just make sure you save some milk for him,” she nodded at the breast pump.

“Is he taken care of?” I asked, watching her nod her head before she left without waiting for me to ask any more questions.

“Hmm! I can’t wait for you three to meet your brother. He is as special as the rest of you are,” I spoke to my babies, who were so tiny right now.

“By the way, your mommy is going to the mountains tomorrow,” I said to my babies but was actually alerting Akira.

“Hmm, I think we’ll do well. The anklet will prevent any physical changes, so we should be safe,” she paused, then added, “I think others will be safe from us.” She was right. The problem was us.

If we transitioned, we might lose control and hurt someone. That would be too dangerous for those around us.

“Anyways, do you know who these little angels are?” I mumbled, excited to tell her their names.

“No! But please tell me quickly. I’m dying to know their names,” since she has just woken up, it would take her some time to read my memory of the past few months. And I couldn’t wait any longer, so I decided to tell her the names myself.

“This is Sven, this is Conan and he is my little handsome Nixon!” I finished and heard her excitement inside of me.

“They are adorable. But who do you think is whose child?” However, her strange question left me puzzled for a moment.

“Huh? They’re all my kids, you idiot. Did you forget or what?” I questioned, raising my eyebrows in confusion.

“Nora! You can’t be serious. Do you not remember what the Moon Goddess said to us? They aren’t just from one father–” Before she could continue, I had to stop her. It was frustrating how quickly she read my memory and was now asking me all these questions.

“You’re right, they are only my children. As for the Moon Goddess, imagine how idle she must be to come here and speak to a mere slave,” I rolled my eyes at her reminder.

She had the nerve to appear before me and act like she cared.

“She’s not my Moon Goddess, so she thinks she can play with me,” I shook my head in disbelief.

“But what she says seems to be true,” she uttered, but I avoided her gaze.

I had learned this trick over the past few months: if I didn’t want to agree with someone, I would just avoid them. Forget positivity and accountability.

Nobody cares about innocent little creatures. We stomp on ants every day because they are insignificant; can we do the same to an elephant? I don’t think so.

“Mommy’s wolf has gone nuts,” I said in a childish tone, knowing I riled Akira up, but it was all in good fun between us.

I ate dinner in my room while playing with my babies. They were too young to understand anything or know what comfort was. Their comfort was just their mother’s milk for now. Sometimes, two of them would cling to me, leaving me dry. But it never stopped me from saving some for my other child, whom I hadn’t even seen yet.

There were times I wanted to unleash Akira on everyone, but my baby being in captivity stopped me. I was ready to do anything to hold him at least once. He needed to know he was as special as the others.

But then, the time came when my peace was disturbed. Since I was never allowed to lock the door, Brody walked in effortlessly. Thankfully, I wasn‘t feeding my babies at that moment.

“They look so calm with you,” the nerve of him to talk about them when he wanted the dead and has been holding one of the hostage just surprised me.

“You are not here to talk about my babies. So tell me, what brought you here?” I rolled my eyes, raising one brow but staring at my children instead.

“You are right. It is like you know me so well,” I didn’t bother to raise my head to see how stupid he looked when making that statement.

“Your stepbrothers want to speak to you,” he said, leaning on the wall but staring at me for a reaction.
