Chapter Nine

“Shhh, don’t wake them up!” The loudly spoken words woke Jess up immediately. She leaned up from where she’d been laying and looked at the nine smiling faces surrounding her.

“Aww man, you woke them up!” Justin whispered loudly.

That voice woke up Amun next, which was when Jess realized she’d been sleeping on Amun’s chest. She jerked her hands back from his stomach quickly and stood up. Amun caught her before she stumbled into Lily’s bed.

“You stayed like you said.”

Jess and Amun both turned to the sound of Lily’s voice from the bed next to them. Her adorable face was almost glowing with excitement and health, her eyes shining up at them.

“I knew she would! Jess always helped, no matter what. Doncha remember?” One of the other little girls piped in.

It had been a long night with not much sleep for any of them. It had taken most of the night until Amun was confident that the worst injuries were on their way to healed and the minor ones were gone.

True to her word, Jess had never once left Lily’s side. Amun smiled as he brushed back a stray lock of hair from her eyes. She’d been wonderful last night. She’d told stories to the other children as he and the techs worked on the other two children who had to be anesthetized before healing could begin. She’d smiled and cheered with the children over every single scar that disappeared off of their bodies.

One little girl with a horribly deep scar that ran from her nose to her ear had thrown herself into Amun’s arms and cried like a baby when she saw the scar was almost completely gone, and her face was no longer contorted from the mass of tissue. Now her beautiful smile lit up the room, the scar nothing more than a faint thin line that would be completely gone by tomorrow.

Dr. Maggie had to leave the room several times to try and control her emotions and the tears that flowed freely at seeing the happiness on the children’s faces. Even the tough Valendran males had been caught wiping their eyes.

Looking around the room, Amun could see that all of them looked exhausted from the physical and emotional toll it had taken to heal the children. A few of the techs were still sleeping next to the beds of the children they’d treated.

“Of course I stayed. I keep my promises, honey. How do you feel?” Jess asked, holding tightly to Lily’s hand.

“I feel wonderful! Thank you Jess! Thank you Amun!” Lily said.

No one was more surprised than Amun and Jess when Lily launched herself from the bed and into Amun’s arms.

Amun closed his eyes and held tightly to her tiny body, his beast and protective instincts rising within. His beast screamed that the child belonged to him . . . and Jess.

“Oh my! You all look so wonderful!” Everyone turned at Dr. Maggie’s voice.

Lily jumped out of Amun’s arms and ran with the other children to Maggie so they could show her all the things that had healed since she’d gone to bed a few hours ago.
