"Mommy?" Autumn asked. I hurried to her side and hugged her quickly. "What's happening to me?"

"Don't worry about that right now, sweetie." I murmured, hugging her tight. I stood up and handed her to Mitch. She buried her face in his neck and wrapped her arms around him. "Take her home, Mitch."

"No!" Zima exclaimed. "She must stay here! We have to test her!"

"Test her?"

"Yes. This has only happened twice before, and both times, the child died. We must see her powers, see what she can do."

"You're not touching my baby. I've said it to Heat and I'll say it to you, Zima. Stay. away."

"Give me the child, Kirstin."

"No! Mitch, run!" He took off and I turned to Zima. "Leave us alone, or I will kill you."

"Kirstin, stop this madness! You will give her to me!" 

"No I won't!" I turned away from her and stormed out of the den. I met up with Mitch and we went home. No one gets to touch Autumn.

And if they try, I will kill them. 

Mitch's POV

I laid Autumn down in her room and went to walk away, but she grabbed my wrist. "Daddy..." 

"Yes princess?"

"What happened to me earlier?"

 I sighed. "It's... hard to explain. I'll explain tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay..." she yawned. I chuckled. 

"Tired?" She nodded slowly. I kissed her on her forehead and turned off her light, gently shutting the door behind me.

Kirstie came up to me and pecked me on the lips. "Hey beautiful," I smiled, wrapping my arms around her waist. 

"Hmmm..." she hummed. "I'm bored."

"Really?" I was slowly inching us towards the bedroom. 

"Yes..."

"We could play a board game." We reached the door to our bedroom. 

"Oh, I have something else in mind."

I kicked the door shut and we landed on the bed.
