protect, cherish, and love this little person the way she deserved. Anything she needed would be hers, everything that was needed would be provided no matter what he needed to do. He moved up to sit by Hercules, he needed some help to see that his family had what was necessary.
Chapter 5 Mine The baby, unnamed for now, was in a baby carrier sleeping. Some forward thinking god had brought all the things babies and even the mothers would need so Adonis had been able to feed, change, and bathe his little girl. He’d put something warm on her even though they had also bought blankets to envelop the little ones so they would stay warm on the short walk to the god’s facility. None of those gassed had shown any sign of stirring but the readings on their bodily functions gave no cause for concern. He found himself holding the baby more often than not and the trusting little soul that snuggled up against him, made him feel a protectiveness like the one her mother had brought out in him. He held her with the utmost gentleness realizing she was fragile and not wanting to cause her even the slightest discomfort. He was proud of how easily he’d figured out the diaper changing, bottle feeding, and bathing of a baby. He planned to do his share when they set up their home. He would make himself indispensable to Lucy so she would accept him. He set the babe in her carrier and asked Hercules to watch her. It was time to check on her mother. He walked to the back of the plane and entered the bedroom. Lucy was sprawled on the bed and it appeared she was completely out still. He felt desire the second his eyes lit on her and it washed over him in waves. If she was awake, he wondered if she would have wanted him too. He moved closer to her and leaned in to brush his lips lightly over hers. That’s when she moved as if searching for his lips. She must be near waking and they were only halfway home. He’d hoped to be there before he had to deal with her ire. She moved restlessly, she would wake soon and he knew she would want to see the baby right away. Their baby, he had bonded with her too. He went back out to get their baby and took her back so when Lucy woke she could see her right away. He instinctively knew this was what Lucy would expect. He set the baby down where they could see her from the bed as she slept on. He stripped naked and crawled in bed with Lucy to take a nap knowing she would wake him as soon as she woke up herself. He moved up against her and wrapped himself around her. It wasn’t long and he was sleeping soundly next to her. The sound of a baby crying slipped into his mind and he woke instantly. Lucy was awake and holding their daughter but he thought the child was hungry. He stood and Lucy’s eyes slid down his naked form appreciatively. Maybe he could interest her in going back to bed once the babe was seen to. He put on his pants and went out to where the formula and diapers were kept to get whatever the baby might need. He had an armload of stuff as he headed back to Lucy and their baby. “I’m glad you were able to find the baby a bottle,” Lucy said with relief. She reached for the bottle and took it. The baby sucked on it greedily when the nipple came close enough. “Thank God that was what she needed.” Lucy started checking out her surroundings and she grimaced. “Where are we?” Adonis had hoped to put off this conversation for a little while. “We are on a plane, Mate.” “Wait a minute. I never agreed to leave town and what’s this mate business?” “Origin will be sending teams to check out the facility. They will attempt to find those who escaped from it. You would be a sitting duck, Sweetheart.” “I think I had a good plan prepared, you didn’t asked me what I wanted to do.” He shot her a hard look. “Maybe that’s because you were suppose to follow instructions and you didn’t. That caused you to be captured. If we hadn’t liberated you, you’d be dead or worse by
