Rocco held on to Kyler, Tobias and Scarlet beside them, as Laz landed on the balcony of the control room, Eve in his arms. Her face was covered in blood. “Jack!” Lazarus roared.

Jack rushed over.

“She can’t see. She can’t see anything.”

Oh fuck.

Kyler pulled from Rocco’s arms and rushed to her sister, as Gunner and Zenon landed, Kryos right behind them. Both Luna and Mia were unconscious, and Kryos was holding Meredith to him, freaking out as his mate convulsed in his arms.

Then Chaos strode in with Grace and yelled for Jack as well. She was bleeding from several wounds, the deepest in her side that he was frantically trying to staunch.

“I need to treat Eve,” Jack said, looking frantic. “Or she’ll lose her sight completely.”

Chaos looked down at Grace, fear stark on his face. “Looks like I’m sewing you up, angel.”

Scarlet rushed to help.

“Supplies are over there,” Jack barked out.

Wounds they’d dealt with before, but not when it was their mates.

“Am I going to look like Frankenstein’s monster when you’re done?” Grace said weakly.

Chaos smiled, and it was strained.

Luna was coming around, and Mia was now clinging to Zen while she watched Jack work on Eve, tears falling down her cheeks.

Rocco rushed to Kryos, who was trying to hold Meredith while she gasped and shook in his arms. “What the fuck is going on?” his brother yelled. “I fucking need you, Jack.”

Jack was pouring something into Eve’s eyes, and he handed the bottle to Laz to take over, then ran to Kryos. He hovered his hands over Meredith, moving them over her slowly, then looked up at Kryos. Her shakes eased. “She’s okay. She spent every bit of her power, and her body is frantically making more, but the baby needs it first, so it’s taking longer for her to recover than usual.”

Kryos stilled completely. “What?”

“She’ll be fine. Once the baby has some extra stores of her power, her body will take what it needs,” Jack said, his hand hovering over her belly now. “The baby’s fine, though, nothing to worry about.”

“Baby?” Kryos choked out.

Jack blinked at him. “You didn’t know?”

Kryos shook his head.

Jack grinned and clapped him on the shoulder. “Congratulations.” Then he stood and went to check on Grace, who was giving Chaos shit for his terrible stitching job.

Kryos turned to Rocco, a look of utter shock on his face.

Meredith stopped shaking and blinked up at her mate.

“Thank fuck.” Kryos pulled her in, holding her tight. “How you feeling?”

“Like I’ve been run over by a truck,” she said shakily.

“Jack says you’ll be okay. He ah…he also said…”

“What? What’s going on?”

He smiled down at her, cupping her face. “You know that dream you always have? With the baby, our baby?”

She blinked again. “What?” She gripped Kryos harder. “What?” she said again.
