Her heart stilled at his words. So much so that even he noticed it or maybe he knew it was going to happen. Alexis had not experienced a shoot out much less a war. It would be a devastating experience for the mother to be. He rubbed her back offering her the comfort no one ever offered him. "It's going to be alright. Do not worry I will do everything I can in my power to not go to war."
