Ana walks to the party that the pack had thrown to make them feel welcome, she looks around the room to find few of the pack members readying the food while some were still trying to stick some stickers for decorations.

She finds Adrian and his wife Scarlett speaking with few of the pack mates and as if sensing her Adrian turns his head towards her and she smiles waving at him as he nods his head before going back to talking.

"Are we early?" Jean asks looking around and Ana nods before asking the kids to go around and try to make friends.

"Jean is the one who needs a friend, Ana, while I already have some, come chicken" Emma orders her brother and Ana narrows her eyes at the girl.

"Emma" she warns and the girl smiles sweetly.

"Fine, Hen" Emma mumbles as she walks away and Ana watches the kids.

"Will you be, okay?" Jean asks and when Ana pushes her forward, she laughs before walking towards a group of teenagers.

Ana walks to check out the garden at the pack as everyone were busy with their own things. She finds a bench and sits trying to gather her thoughts on what happened the past few days.

From meeting Crystal to Henry's kidnapping and now staying at Martin's pack, her life along with the kids sure were on a roller coaster and to spin her life even more she agreed to live in Rom's house.

The one man because of whom all the unwanted cycle in her life started, if she had not left and went to meet her sister maybe she would never be able to see them or even know if they were alive.

After their outburst both of them had left to cool down and once they were, they had agreed to stay for the kids but just not together, until he was back, she is to look after Gio and once he is back, she will move or maybe until then if the kids were comfortable in the pack, she will be the only one to move out.

As she cannot stay and watch Rom as if there never was anything between them as if they could just be civil. It was only for the sake of the kids she was ready to compromise anything but her heart was not ready.

The wound even if born years ago was still fresh for her. Before she could even come with the term that she needs to move on she had new things to worry about and in all the years away from him not once has she got a chance to stop and check on herself or the state her heart was.

**********

A ball rolling her way makes Ana look up to find Gio standing and staring at her, so bending she grabs the ball and throws his way but instead of catching it the boy uses his powers to put the ball in mid-air and a sense of Deja vu appears in Ana's head.

"Are you playing alone?" she asks him and Gio grabs the ball making his way towards her.

"No" he replies as he sits beside her on the bench.

"Then is someone playing with you?" she asks him and he shakes his head no once again.

"I found the ball; I was going back but slipped and fell down as the ball rolled away" he points making her eyes go wide as she grabs his hand and checks for any wounds.

"Are you hurt somewhere?" she worries.

"I heal fast" he points making her sigh in relief.

"Still, you should be careful, are you sure you are okay? Do you want me to call your father for you?" she asks and he shakes his head no.

"Dad is busy, don't want to disturb him for nothing"

"It won't be a disturbance if it's for you, Gio. No matter how busy I am sure he will leave everything back for you" she smiles at him.
