“Seriously, Layan. That was awesome.” Hana says.

Layan blushes and shrugs. “I’ve been helping Luna Nina when she’s needed help and she taught me some things. And,” she says, pulling an ear bud out of her ear, “I literally had a doctor in my ear the entire time.”

I walk over and kiss Jara, as she takes Jaxon from me. I’m still holding Jordan. It’s getting easier to balance two now. Just as I’m about to ask what happened, the doctor walks in.

“Nice job, Layan. Thank you for your a*s*sistance.”

“He already did, thank you. I won’t interrupt, I just wanted to say that you did an excellent job, young lady.”

Layan blushes again and I mind link Elijah letting him know that his intended mate just helped deliver a baby.

“What? She did? How?” He asks.

“Why don’t you come to the hospital and ask her yourself?” I suggest.
