"Only person other than you? Surely there have been others." Lana seemed flabbergasted that only Quinn and herself had taken down a dalki ship.
Quinn shook his head and she said, "but it was so easy!"
There were more gasps around the table and Owen's eyes began to sparkle. Just as he was about to speak, another voice chimed in, this time a female.
"Excuse me please, but is something wrong with Caser?" Lana looked confused as Mona continued, "I have been trying to talk to him and he's not responding."
Lana gave her a deer-in-the-headlights look then realized what she was saying. Lana shook the cobwebs out of her head and said chuckled, "he's been stuck to my side since the baby as born. Caser, stop being rude, she's right there!"
Caser went to Mona's side and appeared to initiate conversation based on the posture Lana observed him taking.
Getting ready to turn back to Owen but realizing that file still had not been transferred she turned back to her watch and was getting visibly frustrated.
Finally, she stabbed her watch with her finger several times, "Arrghh Logan, HELP!!!!"
She could hear Logan chuckling as he approached her, "do you want me to fix it or just teach you?"
"Both please!"
Logan proceeded to explain that in her discombobulation, she had locked the file making it unable to be transferred and walked her through the process of fixing it then sent the file over to Sam.
He was getting ready to head back to his seat when she asked him to stay, "just wait a moment please. She's done and I can pass her over now. Then I can address something else while we are all here."
She tried to turn around in Sil's arms to pass the baby over but he was holding her too tight and seemed to not even realize that the baby was done eating.
She softly said "Um, Sil, My Love, can you back up an inch or two. She's done, I want to pass her to you."
That seemed to break him from the spell seeing his daughter had put him under and he gave her enough space to turn around. He went to grab for the baby but she slapped his hand away.
"Privacy first!"
She then put up a curtain of vines so others would not see her naked upper body as she removed her daughter from her chest. She gently handed the baby over to a truly enraptured Sil.
In a dreamy voice he said, "She's so beautiful…"
Lana chuckled, "Of course she is, look at her father!"
Sil looked up from the baby and looked into his wife's eyes. He leaned in for a kiss and said, "She looks like her mother."
Lana blushed and smiled a huge smile. Instead of closing up her shirt, she simply wrapped the vines up around her as though she were in stage 1 armor since she would be putting the baby back in her wrap soon. She turned around to address Logan and Owen. Then realized she forgot someone.
"Peter and Quinn, can you come stand over here as well, please?"
It was then that she noticed Quinn was now holding little Owen instead of Vorden and Vorden was no longer in the room. She was confused but didn't have time to figure out what was going on. She had failed to notice Quinn pull Sam aside then pulled Vorden and Raten aside. Vorden handed the toddler over and had left the room on an unknown errand.
She turned to the four men, "It feels like forever since that day on the platform where Sil went through the teleporter to return to that dreadful place, the paradise that was created for a demon," she looked at Quinn. "I didn't react the way I did because Sil didn't know I was pregnant. I knew about his family months before that. I didn't care at the time because at least we could have happy for a little while. When you told me you heard two extra heartbeats, I was gripped with an intense fear. I knew what would happen to our innocent babies if that monster found out about them."
Sil wrapped his free arm around her and tightened it slightly.
She turned to Owen, "At that moment, I thought I would end up being a single mother keeping the existence of my babies a secret. I continued with the plans that I had made with Logan then you walked in and changed everything. At the expense of your own safety, you gave the coordinates to Quinn so these incredible men could rescue My Love from that wretched Hell. The day he returned from that island, just hours after, our twins were born. To honor you, we named our daughter Olivia and our son Owen. I hope you don't mind."
Owen smiled brightly, "I'm honored!"
Lana looked toward Sil feeling more confident. "We've been talking about something. We don't think we have done enough to show our gratitude for what the four of you have given us." She fidgeted again. "Would you like to be godfathers of our children?"
Owen gasped, "Yes!" and took little Owen from Quinn.
They all agreed. Peter commented on how tiny Angelina was while Logan made sure she had her name correct. "I need to get her trust fund set up."
"Trust fund?" Lana asked.
"Yes, the twins already have one. Why not her?" Logan said matter-of-factly as he returned to his seat.
Meanwhile Sam had gotten the coordinates from the files loaded onto the map they were using to plan their war. Lana was starting to feel more comfortable with that out of the way. She noticed the change in the map and realized Sam was ready for her. To the group, "What Sam just added her…"
Sam interrupted her, "Introduce yourself, please. Most of these people don't know who you are or why you have disrupted this meeting."
He gave a smile to Sil as he said the last part.
