A satyr straggled across the camp border, his daughter in tow. "It's okay," He whispered to the bundle in his arms. "We're safe now."
He slowly walked over to the area where the satyrs were doing satyr things. Talking, reading, running, having a good time.
"Oh, Grover?" He asked as soon as he saw him. Grover looked down at the baby in his arms, and immediately ran over. "Nice to see you. May you get Juniper please?"
"Oh, she..." The satyr, Eden nodded glumly. Grover walked over to Juniper's tree, and gently knocked on it. She instantly appeared. "What's happening?"
"Umm, well..." He gestured over to Eden and his daughter, and she ran over.
"Where's Aspen?! Where is she?!"
"She's not with us anymore. Sorry."
Juniper started bawling, making a scene throughout the entire camp. Dozens of campers, satyrs, and nymphs rushed over, and started to comfort her. Chlorophyll colored tears rushed down her cheeks. Eden started crying too, but not as much as Juniper, probably because he had plenty of time to mourn before returning to camp. After about ten minutes of crying, their cheeks dried.
Eden stood up. "Unfortunately, due to my life's work as a searcher, I can't provide care to this baby. Is anyone willing to take the position?"
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Will screamed, "Me! Me and Nico! It'll be perfect!"
Nico looked like he was going to die, which is a huge deal, because he looks like he is dead all of the time, so he can't look like he's dying. "Are you joking! Do I need to start calling you 'Mr. Dumb Blonde' now?!"
"No, I am not joking, Nico. We are happily married now, and I think this could make a perfect addition to the family. Because I assure you do not want to become pregnant, am I right?"
"No... Ugh, let's talk about this in private." He dragged Will over to the side, away from the crowd, and started whispering to him. "This is a totally irresponsible idea. Do you know how hard it is to take care of a baby?"
"Yes, I do Nico. I have saved countless lives and survived in the most dire of circumstances. Even though this baby will be tough work, we can do it. Even if you don't, I don't care. I'll take her in no matter what. But, I believe we can make little Bianca a part of our family."
Nicos heart dropped. "Bianca?"
"Yes, Bianca Solace-DiAngelo. You ready for this baby, Nico?"
"Heck yeah, Sunshine."
