Heart of Their Jewel

Chapter 33

"Hi," they murmured back.

She barely tilted her head back to look up at Brandon and Raven, "lot."

Raven smirked as he placed a kiss on her forehead, "Da, have lot mates, Tiny Treasure."

"Mate?" she whispered.

"Don't worry about that right now, Pebbles," Brandon said softly. "We'll talk about it later."

"I have already informed them that you may fall back asleep because of the shot I had to give you," Sean said softly. "I have reassured them that you will wake back up as well." She tapped Raven's chest twice and Sean nodded. "Are we still doing one for no and two for yes?" She tapped twice, making Sean smile.

"Hey Jewels, do you want to try some yogurt and sliced banana?" Marc asked as he pushed off the wall. "I can make you some while I get you some water."

"Mochy..." Her voice cracked causing her to wince. "Cry."

"We all did," Corey said as he walked over to them and kissed her head. "But it's okay, I promise. How about just a couple of bites?"

"Tr..." she winced.

"Hush now, Doll," Axel said as he smiled gently at her. "Just rest that pretty throat of yours. You still have a long way to go on healing. Marc, get her some more water and that yogurt and half a banana. North will finish the rest, I'm sure. Let's find something to watch and we can just play the rest of the day by ear."

She tried to lift her arms but could only do so an inch before they became too heavy and she dropped them back to Raven's chest. A soft whimper left her, "Want Wolfy?" Raven asked, then grinned seeing the plea in her eyes. "Kay, Tiny Treasure."

He carried her over to Axel who sat down in the rocking chair. "Don't rock, Axel, it may upset her stomach," Sean warned.

"Got it, Doc," Axel nodded as Raven carefully sat her in his lap sideways then sat one hand in her lap and the other over his arm that was wrapped around her waist. "Thanks, Rave." He smiled down at her before kissing the top of her head. "Hey Doll. Doc said you kind of remember our friends." She softly tapped his arm twice. "That's good. Hey look, here comes Marc with your favorite strawberry yogurt." She barely pouted and he chuckled, "You can't have chocolate until Doc says it's okay."

"Sorry but not yet, Sweetheart," Sean shook his head. "It has too much sugar and can upset your stomach. We can ease into it though and then you can have all the chocolate yogurt you want, no matter what North says."

"Here North, feed her while I finish making breakfast," Marc said as he handed over the yogurt container and plate of banana slices. "Since we are easing back into eating, even if she can only eat a couple of bites it'll be fine."

"Banana first then yogurt," Corey nodded as he flipped through channels.

"Alright, I want you to only take small bites and see how it settles in your stomach. If you can't handle anymore, tap three times and we won't push for anymore," North said in a soft gruff voice as he picked up a slice of banana before holding it up to Jewel's mouth.

Jewel gave a soft nod before opening her mouth and taking a small bite. North gave her a small smile as she slowly ate, "Good girl," he murmured as she took another banana slice from his fingers. She managed to eat a few banana slices before she shook her head so he took the spoon from Luke and started feeding her the strawberry yogurt. After three spoonfuls she pressed her face into Axel's neck so North sat it down. "Alright, Baby Girl, you did great."

She turned to face him, causing some hair to fall into her face. North pushed some hair out of her face and her breath hitched as a memory came rushing forward in her mind. She would be sitting in his lap with her back against his chest as he held her hand in his and pointed out constellations to her while telling her the stories behind them.

"Sars," her whisper caressed his skin.

"That's right," North's smile grew, "we've been looking at the stars together."

She was so confused. She felt safe around these guys but she didn't know them and yet at the same time a part of her felt like she did. She kept getting these flashes in her mind of her being with them but she couldn't remember them at the same time. Everything was so confusing and yet at the same time she never felt more calm in her life. Nothing made any sense.

She dropped her head to Axel's shoulder as she looked over at the one person she knew would never hide anything from her. "Bear," she whimpered as her eyes filled with tears.

"Da, Tiny Treasure?" He asked as he caught his knife he was tossing in the air.

"What happening? Where Jacey?"
