Betty started couching, water leaving her mouth

He sighed a little in relief and helped her sit up so the water could come out.

She finished coucghing and looked up at him with watery eyes.

He smiled gently at her, so glad that she was alright now. ”It’s alright, angel. It's alright.” he said softly.

she shook her head ¨He won´t leave me alone. .. I need to leave go stay with Evan or something¨ she said.

”Do you think you’ll be safer from him there?” he asked, not wanting her to leave but wanting her to be safe.

¨I Think He can protect me¨ she said

He sighed a little at that, feeling a spark of jealousy. He knew he wasn't powerful enough to protect her dreams like Charles or maybe even Evan could. ”From what I've heard, Evan’s home is well protected.” he admitted.

¨ I Just Don´t feel safe anymore Lysander we barely even touch each other anymore I´m always on the couch at least Evan can hold me¨ she said.

“I can still hold you.” Lysander pointed out gently, not wanting to fight. ”You won't let me anymore, always insisting to sleep on the couch despite how much I want you to stay and just hold you all night.” he sighed. ”I just thought our daughter might sleep easier with us instead of trying to stay up because she has strong nightmares. That's the only reason I suggested it for tonight.”

¨Our daughter comes first I come after her maybe I should just marry Evan¨ she said with a sigh

”I thought you were going to anyways. With the truce and all.” he said. ”Unless you changed the arrangement and didn't tell me.”

she ran a hand over her face ¨ I Love you Lysander but I can´t do this ¨ she said.

“I love you too… more than anything but I don’t want to lose you.” he told her.

She reached up and stroked his cheek with her thumb

He winced a little at the sting of the vervain tainted water but placed his hand over hers and held it against his cheek.

she saw him wince and started to remove her hand

”It’s ok.” he said, still holding her hand and looking at her beautiful blue eyes. He would always heal and didn't mind the sight sting. He had felt much worse. Turning his head a little, he kissed her palm.

she smiled her small smile at the contact

He smiled gently back, lovingly.

She rested her head on his shoulder

He placed his hand on her back. ”If you really want to go see Evan, why don't we all go together?” he suggested.

She shook her head

A month passed and it was the morning of Laurabeths third birthday

Laura-Beth was very excited for today. She could barely stay still for a full minute.

Lysander watched their little girl run around, chuckling. ”And she hasn't had any sugar yet.” he smiled at Betty.

Betty suddenly had an idea " Laurabeth you want an early present" she asked

Laura-Beth stopped running for a moment before darting happily over to her mother. ”Yay! Presents!”

¨But you have to be good and sit down for a while¨ she said.

Laura-Beth almost pouted but nodded. ”Ok, mama.” she said climbing into a chair near her daddy.

”Happy birthday, precious.” he smiled, kissing her cheek.

She smiled and handed Laura-beth a white stuffed giraffe with grey spots

Laura-Beth squealed happily and hugged it’s neck excitedly.

”I think she likes it.” Lysander smiles and pulls out a small plastic tiara for Laura-Beth.
