“About a day.”
Luna stared at her. “I get healing via a dragon, and I still don’t bounce back that fast. Colour me jealous.”
Nora chuckled. “I recover quickly, and it still isn’t that fast.”
Eva and Thomas were in a world of their own. Jax came in and smiled. He looked at Penny. “She was always meant to be ours all along.”
“And so was her little brother. Is the legal all squared away?”
“Yup. Her brother is scrambling around from hospital to hospital trying to find her...with a legal team.”
Eden was looking at the baby. “Told yah. I know I came off like a nut job, but I didn’t want him just to disappear. He’s yours. He’s cute and squeaky.”
Eva looked up at her. “Did you want to hold him?”
“Oh, definitely not. He’s out of me. He’s safe. That’s all I wanted for him.” She smiled at the happy parents.
“Right. Where do I sign to make sure that I authorize them to have him?”
Jax shook his head. “Right. I set it up outside on a coffee table.”
She looked at him. “Great. Show me where.”
He laughed, and he and Penny followed her out. Rache grabbed her bag from the bathroom and followed them to the place where she was signing all claims to the child and declaring the surrogate contract complete.
She smiled. “And now, we need to look for flights to the islands before he starts watching the airport.”
Jax sighed. “They already are. However, we have an alternative transport for you.”
Eden frowned. “What?”
“Thomas and Eva have offered to fund your escape.”
Eden dug in the lining of the bag and pulled out a phone that had a plastic covering on it. “They don’t have to do that. I have thirty thousand that I have managed to squirrel away.”
Jax frowned. “How?”
“I sold the car that was registered to me in my name.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, I didn’t take anything from Ryan or Nicky.”
Luna had wrapped up the placenta, and she walked it out of the house to bury it on the grounds.
Luna came back in, grinning. “Did you tell them?”
“Only the broad strokes.”
“Right, well, in ten minutes, a helicopter is going to land, you are going to get in it, and it is going to fly you three airports away, where a private jet is waiting to take you to the islands. You are going to land at Emerald Island, spend the night with Penny’s sister Ven at the royal palace, and then the next day, you are going to be taken by private ferry over to Wonder. Haravin is very excited to meet Eden and is delighted that you are getting to travel in style.”
Eden asked softly, “Can local clothing be ready? I am way hot for a few days until my blood balances out. If it is too much of a request, forget it.”
“Funny you should mention local clothing. A seamstress is flying with you, and she will have clothing that meets your needs. In either height.” Luna grinned. “As both of you have Elite characteristics. Do either of you have elves courting you?”
Rache said, “Well, I met my match, but it was only a bit of dancing, and he doesn’t know my name or my address. So, he can wait until I get home.”
Luna nodded. “Okay. Is there any indicator of what he is?”
