| FRIDAY |

"Rory...Rory? Love. Love?...Rory." Aurora popped one eye open to see the darkness still a promenade feature in the guest room. And she groaned, peering over to the alarm clock just before her in complete damnation. "Rory..."

"Raba, darling. I promise you that Ronan will not be up for another three hours." She whispered loud enough so he would stop the nudging to her ribs.

"You're too skinny Aurora." She hummed, and it caused him to coddle her further. "I mean it love, I feel your bones."
"Hmm."

"Not that you aren't beautiful, I'm just worried." She nodded in a tired haze and it caused him to huff.

"Raba, it's barely six in the morning. Please, I beg you. Eight." He groaned and whined, and she laughed into her pillow. "Eight wake up or eight Ronan comes?" She blinked for a few moments as she propped her elbow up and looked properly to him.

"Eight wake up, Nine Ronan. Yes? Brilliant, sleepsleep." For a thirty-year-old woman, she still resembled herself very much in that moment. And perhaps it was wrong, but he laughed rather loudly, causing her to peek her attention once again.

"Yes?"
"Sleep sleep? You're not drunk are you?" It was her turn to snort this time and disagree.

"Nah, but I cannot go off of four hours of sleep like I used to. Having Lori and creating Wolfsbane was the last bit of energy I had." He found himself rather infatuated with this laid back version of Rory, he knew she was shielding her heart from moving along too quickly, but here she would accept his kisses.

And smile like she used to.

"Nooo Raba sleeeeeeep. You have the rest of the summer with the children, enjoy the idea of a calm morning. Because I swear to you that someone is going to crawl into bed in the middle of the night."

"And who might that be?"

"Depends, if Cara has been away or I have been she'll sneak in. Romulus will always join the first night. Ronan only comes when he's had a nightmare and Lori, well she's gone to Romulus a few times instead of me. But almost always Imara has one of the wolves." He always held this appearance on him when he listened to his wife about the children.

Five children.

Five.

"What if they hate me...For not being there?"

"Then you fix that image they have of you, it'll take them getting used to another parent." The words had escaped him before he could probably think of it.

"Your father said Romulus hates me." What Aurora had done next already solidified the truth as she rose and faced down to him.

"T-That's—" She tried to deny it, but realistically it caused so much pain to swell up into her heart that the man could only coax her so much without feel the change in mood.

"It's true then...He hadn't said it out of anger?"

"I never wanted them to hate you, believe me...The first few weeks were stressful, and it's no excuse but perhaps I said a few things whilst under a potion and it changed Rommy opinion. But he was barely five, he hadn't asked anything about you. I'm unsure as to how he had figured everything out, he even tried to stop Ronan and his other siblings to stop talking of you." Perhaps he was giving his son too much credit in taking care of Aurora and the rest, how much persuasion did the lad have over the rest?
