“Let me see her.” Artemis commanded.

“Don’t drop her.” I pleaded as I handed her Melissa.

“I won’t.” She rolled her eyes at me.

Melissa giggle as Artemis tapped her nose with her finger.

“She likes me more.” Artemis smirked.

I posted and crossed my arms over my chest.

“She likes me too.” I mumbled.

Melissa giggled at my reaction. My pout turned up to a smile.

Artemis passed Melissa over to Blake. Melissa hit Blake in the face with her little hand.

“I think she’d be a better warrior than Third in Command.” Blake nodded.

“No! I’m not putting her in danger. No.” I denied.

Melissa posted and cried.

My eyes widened. “Alright she can be a warrior.”

Melissa stopped crying and giggled.

“She’s already got you wrapped around her finger.” Gina joked.

Blake passed Melissa to Jamie. Jamie tickled her stomach and made jokes about me.

“Who’s an idiot? Your daddy! That’s who.”

I glared at her as melissa giggled.

Jamie passed Melissa to Noah. He was the only person who kept it normal!

Melissa was handed back to me. She smiled and placed her hand on my nose.

“We forgot to ask. What’s her name?” Artemis asked.

“It’s Melissa.” Gina answered

“A Mel and an Issa. Good choice.” Noah nodded.

We all laughed.

Melissa and Gina yawned at the same time.

“We’ll give you some time to rest.” Jamie said as they all left.

I placed Melissa in the cot. As soon as I laid her down she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Gina moved a little on her bed to give me space to lay down.

I laid down next to her and pulled her into my chest.

“I love you.” I told her.
