Aira wakes up and takes a soak in the boys tub with bath salts. He missed the Comfortable baths here.
Chronos enters, "How was the steam room?"
"Slept through the whole thing. Had a nice dream sleeping in a giant golden eagles wings, it's literally gold in colour. It was so warm."
"Tempest must be his name." Split says.
"That's what he said it was, so, am I any taller?"
Everyone laughs, "Stop rushing to grow up. So? Why did Thomas abandon books to come home?" Rex asks joining him in the tub.
The others join in too.
"Golden fruit, there's a book about it being used for Nanites. He's so trying to hold the excitement back." Aira says.
Thomas joins the boys hiding from diaper duty.
Rex gives him a jar of Nanites, "Lycan can turn the fruit into Nanites. I think he read the same book. He knew the ancient language first before the one we speak now. We made shields out of it. It covers the entire Stark area." He shows Thomas the new map.
Thomas crosses his arms, "I'm sure I am going to enjoy this."
The boys update him about what happened while he was gone.
~~~
"Ewe, kissing is so dirty." Aira interrupts.
"Aira." The boys point at the door.
"No, I'm good." He sits down listening to the conversation and his jaw drops, "Colin is beating you all to a pulp when he finds out."
Everyone touches their face.
"He did." They all say at the same time.
"He what? Found out or beat you to a pulp." Aira asks.
"Both." Numa says sitting in the tub.
Lycan picks him up.
Everyone holds their breath when he yelps and Helia glares through the window. His one eye fits the window.
Lycan growls, "Don't tell the girls or I will pluck out your wings and die after."
Aira holds the baby dragon, "You jerk. He's a baby, he just hatched. That's why he guards your baby Runa. Be gentle. He doesn't have his scales yet." He saw it in a book he read.
Lycan pats the baby, "Sorry, you're so big I thought you were a mouthy teenager. I don't hurt babies. You take after your father. Might be larger than your two headed brother."
"My brother is only 5 years old." Numa says.
Jet and Jake smirk, "He's gonna be so huge." They say at the same time.
Sharon falls asleep in the tub.

Angela looks in the mirror after a bath to prepare to go see Bella.
Her baby bump is showing already.
She walks to Jake and asks for a portal to meet with Bella.
~~~
Bella sees the two lines and breaks the pregnancy test throwing it away.
She meets with Angela and smiles seeing the baby stronger and gaining weight.
"Well, considering you were at the verge of losing the baby I will let this slide, but you need to eat more food, especially now that morning sickness doesn't bother you, join Luna and Sarah for their evening workout." Bella says trying out the ultra sound for the first time.
She rubs the gel on Angela and shows her the baby. Kyle arrives a little late but his heart stops when he can hear the baby's heart beat. The nano screen flashes an error signal.
Kyle rushes to the baby, "What's wrong?"
The machine stops showing the error sign and tracks two heartbeats.
Bella's jaw drops, "Goodness. I nearly had a heart attack."
Julia walks in happy to have her power back, "I'm a little out of practice, but I figured since we're open today I'd have the boys spend time with me while I check on the other women. So many want to know the good news."
Bella smiles, "Of course. Come on. I'll show you."
The machine does an error alert again and a third heartbeat appears on the monitor.
Kyle smiles, "We almost lost so many babies."
Bella nods, "I'm glad the kids are taking such good care of you, but you need to eat more, and please don't say anything to provoke the other women. You never know who lost a baby. It is best this stays in the room, if you want to tell the girls that's okay, they must just keep it to themselves."
"She'll keep it to herself." Kyle says.
Bella prints the baby. It looks like only one baby.
Kyle stays for the day spending time with Angela watching Charbel and Runa.
Charbel is walking holding on to things.
Runa is still very small.
Kyle smiles, "You were getting a lot of practice I see." He says catching Charbel.
Charlene went to visit Larva today.
Angela wipes her tears away, "I am so happy and so scared at the same time."
Kyle gives her a hug and he laughs when Charbel cries too, "They'll make it."
Angela nods, "I don't want to let you down."
Kyle smiles, "You could never. They are my kids, they'll make it." He says so excited.
Angela smiles allowing herself to be happy about the news. She discusses everything about her symptoms with Kyle and smiles.
"How have the women here been treating you?" Kyle asks worried.
"Most are nice, but since I started showing I have been limiting contact with them. Some look at me with side eyes or make faces when I get naked. After the steam bath I take these kids and watch them and just feel okay. I've learned to just focus on me. Not others."
"I'm proud of you." Kyle kisses her neck resting his hand on her bump.
She smiles nodding, she finally has a round bump, before it looked like a fupa on her lower abs.
"Don't push yourself with the exercising." Kyle says wrapping his hands around Angela again and kissing her repeatedly. He is too excited about the baby.
~~~
Julia smiles using her power to check the patients, "I have bad news and good news, bad news you lost the baby, good news is if you get pregnant again that won't happen." She says.
The female nods leaving after the check up.
"Congratulations, baby is out of the danger zone but you need to consistently come to the steam room. I can't guarantee the same thing if you stop."
Jet and Jake smile seeing their mom smile.
Jet touches her hair, she had shaved it off, it's grown back now, "You're so beautiful." He says out of the blue.
Julia smiles, "Thank you. I missed you boys so much. I feel so much better, since yesterday I've been sleeping better. Your dad sleeps in your room so I get nights to myself. Today they're delivering supplies to Camp Royal and New Moon."
Jet nods smiling, "You look so much better, do physical exercises with Luna and Sarah. It's really effective."
Julia scrunches her face, "Luna? The white head?"
"That's Dodge, she changed her hair colour. It's black now. Toya's obsession."
Julia's jaw drops, "You're lying. That's little Luna? How did she mature so fast? Was it Toya?"
Jake spits out his drink, "She's 100% still a Virgin and not in a relationship. Toya needs help."
Julia covers her mouth, "What? That's Luna? What do you kids eat to be so fit. Look at you boys, overgrown like this, are you trying to make me feel bad for not being here?"
The boys squat down at the same time.
Julia laughs at how in sync they are, "Come here. I need a hug."
They hug her and smile.
"I missed you everyday mom." Jet says.
"I missed you more than he did." Jake says.
The twins look at each other ready to fight.
Light clears his throat at the twins, "Behave in front of your mother." He says.
"I'm not taking advice from a 5 year old." Jet says.
Light walks away, "Fine. What do I care." He goes outside and the twins keep their mom busy with customers while they go outside and tackle Light.
"I'm sorry. You're a cool dragon." Jet apologises.
"So we can go flying now?" Light asks.
"Sure, but I'm not sharing a ride." Jake says.
Light happily splits into two and flies in the air.
~~~
Luna wakes up and Toya is watching her sleep with a worried look. She sits up worried, "What"
Toya blinks, "I'm worried about you. I feel like I have been watching Rue alone. You sleep tired, wake up tired, what's going on?"
Luna yawns, "You look like shit yourself. What's your excuse?"
"I am tortured 5 hours a day daily. When did this start?" Toya takes her hand helping her stand up.
"Since we're not busy all the time. My power just over does it now. I think Lycan was right, I have a problem." She sits on his lap and Toya wraps his arms around her, "Well. Larva needs us too. I'll take you there from now on."
Luna nods and looks at Rue, "Her eyes are so much like mine now. She's better."
Toya nods, "Anyway. You have people here in the hotel saying they are working out with you and Sarah. Eat something and after the workout we'll go visit Larva."
Luna nods and walks to the kitchen wishing for a plate of food and plates fill the table.
Mira smiles passing food around, "Thanks Luna. People were starving."
Luna nods her head speechless. She eats her meal and asks Charlie if she's interested in a trip to Larva.
"What about us working out?" Sarah asks, she was excited about that.
"I'm a bit under the weather so I think I'll go help Larva with stock or something." Luna says
"Can we come along? Ava want's to get out of the hotel." Avalon asks.
"I'd love to join." Staria says.
Toya agrees, "Sorry Sarah, can you try to hold down the fort."
Sarah nods, "No problem. Rex going with you?" She asks smiling.
"No, I'm holding down the fort." Rex says reading the book Aira translated for the others. He smiles at Sarah and they read the book together.
~~~
Luna arrives at Larva and surprises him with a snack delivery.
"We'll be going door to door. We'll let you know when we're done." Toya says to Charlie.
They leave and go door to door with Staria and Este knocking and jumping to the next house quickly.
Everyone opens the door and Luna and Toya share snacks and extra supplies amongst everyone.
They go street by street.
"I think you should stop the steam sessions, it makes things worse, and start again when you can feel you need it." Toya says knocking on a door since he lost his 3 extras.
Luna nods, "Yeah, I'll do that. I hope it won't upset Sarah."
Toya smiles, "No way, you're too healthy for the thing, tell her over doing it won't end well. Too much Healing is not healthy."
Luna nods, "You're right. I'll let the others know, I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets sick. We should stop going in."
"Exactly, how do you feel after using your power?" Toya asks touching her voluptuous hair.
"Normal. Hungry too." Luna says.
Toya checks the time, "We should hurry, Lycan has to go soon."
Luna nods speeding up the process.
~~~
Sarah smiles when Luna and Toya come back without Charlie and her siblings, "Feel better?"
"Yes, I'm going to stop the steam session. It's not healthy for an already healthy person to do it. I'll only do it on days I need it, but too much healing is bad."
Sarah nods, "I'll tell the others, you get some rest."
Luna chuckles, "I don't need to sleep. I feel better after using my power. I'm going to sit in my room and make some products, the more I use it the better I feel."
Sarah nods telling the other girls what Luna said.
Rin sniffles, "For some reason I got sick, I think she's right. The adults and elderly need it, not us."
They join Luna in her room and keep busy with making gifts for the under water people.
"June should bring some cloth from there and we make them nice clothes, but I've been thinking of this really nice outfit for Spring. It's a short plus long skirt at the same time, look." Sarah shows everyone the design.
Luna smiles, "Ohh, make one for me. In this colour." She gives Sarah the roll of blue Spider silk.
Angela sits down after walking in and rolls her eyes, "Gosh, why didn't you drag me here?"
Luna chuckles giving her snacks to eat.
"What are you ladies up too?" Angela asks.
Sarah is sewing. Dodge is reading a book. Rin is sleeping, Este is sticking on the labels. Luna is stirring a big bucket.
"Can you please come hold this healing fruit for me Angela?" Luna opens a seat for her.
Angela holds the fruit feeling it's power coursing through her body. She feels it swim in her womb.
Luna asks her to cut it up since she can't touch it.
"Why?" Angela asks confused.
"We're not sick, so too much healing is making us sick. You adults need it. We don't." Luna responds.
Gail enters the room to sit with the girls.
"Perfect, Gail can you please help me too." Luna says smiling.
Gail happily smiles and her jaw drops seeing the golden fruit, "It's real. There's this chapter in a book I read that says the fruit can be turned into a perfume. You cut it up in half. You take boiling water and a container that can be sealed tight. You leave it for a few days, when the fruit is finally jelly like in the container. You take a spoon and in a 500ml perfume bottle you put a spoon full. It will dissolve and after at most a month you have perfume. I really want to try it." She says excitedly.
"What else can this one fruit do?" Mira asks painting her nails.
Gail giggles, "You can make a face mask or a body mask to shave off all the hair on your body, pain free and results are guaranteed. You take the fruit and crush it, than expose it to intense heat but don't burn it directly or it turns to steam. Put it in a pot or the fire place and it will turn to dust. To make the dust into a body mask they added some thing called dragon scales. The dust or powder will somehow liquify dragon scales and just like that it's hair removal lotion.
"You can mix the powder into paint and you will get a nice Golden colour. You can turn the powder into golden glass, less likely to break and so durable. You directly burn it for steam, but if you freeze it the ice will turn into a crystal. That's what the crystal castle is made off. Depending on temperature colour will change. White crystals were used as fuel or turned into air fresheners. Other colours are tougher than that. They were cut into jewellery and accessories. Thomas is with Colin checking out the golden nano shield. He is crazy about what it can do."
Ava laughs, "It seems contagious. Who's watching Tom?"
"Julia. I think she has baby fever."
Angela smiles, "Don't we all."
