"Only person other than you? Surely there have been others." Minx 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?" Minx looked confused as Mona continued, "I have been trying to talk to him and he's not responding."
Minx gave her a deer-in-the-headlights look then realized what she was saying. Minx shook the cobwebs out of her head and giggled, "he's been stuck to my side since the baby was born. Caser, stop being rude, she's right there!"
Caser went to Mona's side and appeared to initiate conversation based on the posture Minx 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's footsteps 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.
Logan was getting ready to head back to his seat when she asked him to stay, "just wait a moment please. He's done and I can pass him 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. Sil 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. He's done. I want to pass him to you."
That seemed to break him from the spell seeing his son 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 son from her chest area. She gently handed the baby over to a truly enraptured Sil and in a dreamy voice he said, "He's so beautiful…"
Minx chuckled, "Of course he 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, "He looks like his mother."
Minx blushed and smiled a huge smile. Instead of closing up interweaving her vines back the way they were, she simply wrapped the vines up around her as though she were in stage 1 armor. She would be putting the baby back in her wrap soon and it would be easier that way. Then 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 Vorden was no longer in the room and Quinn was trying to get a look at the baby. 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 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."
Minx looked at Quinn. "I didn't react the way I did because I was going to miss Sil. I didn't know if I'd ever see him again. I feared my husband was leaving me and he'd be trapped. 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. I knew what would happen to me if that monster found out about me and our marriage."
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 married person. Loving a man that most would never even meet. Unable to even talk about him because his existence was a secret."
Minx took a deep breath, "I continued with my 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, I felt like I got my life back. I could breathe again. To honor you, we named our son Owen. I hope you don't mind."
Owen smiled brightly, "I'm honored!"
Minx 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 son and any future children?"
Owen gasped, "Yes!" and looked at Sil as if to ask for permission to hold the little guy.
They all agreed. Peter commented on how tiny Owen was while Logan made sure he had Owen's name correct. "I need to get his trust fund set up."
"Trust fund?" Minx asked.
"Yes, a proper godfather makes sure his godchild is properly funded." 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. Minx 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 here…"
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.
