Jonah's expression brightened with joy. "Really?" In one quick, impossibly fast seeming movements he had Kieara laying down on the bed, her head resting on the pillows and Jonah resting his head carefully and gently on her belly.
When he felt the baby kick, he smiled and lifted her shirt, exposing her rounded belly and placed kisses everywhere before leaning up and kissing her lips, resting a hand on her stomach.
He pulled away and rested his head against her belly again, a determined glint in his eyes. Jonah wouldn't let the elders take his baby or harm Kieara. They could do all they want to him, but not to his family.
