Reuniting Tornedalians

"Maybe Faun has some blood bags?"
_____

She watched him go.
_____

Faun smiled softly. "Just get better first."

"I prefer from the vein these days, Koby." Peyton hummed gently. "It makes me stronger."

----
Noah came back up with another cup and passed it to her before sitting down beside her.

----
"Be better after an hour or two of sleep," He promised.

He shrugged. "Then I have no suggestions."
______

She smiled and sipped this one slower.
______

She smiled softly. "Then go to sleep, I'll be right here." She whispered.

"I can risk the town, I'm a grown up." She hummed. "Talking of grown ups, your close to Harrison - you need to talk to him. Faun was pregnant before this went haywire, she lost the baby and it is upsetting her but because Harrison never wanted it she is seeing it as a problem solved."

----
"They got Harrison bad," Noah told her quietly. "Faun's blood is the only reason he is alive."

----
"Mm, you promise?"

"You really think that's a good idea?" Koby asked.
_______

Rebekah nodded. "I thought so, Faun didn't call me after the fight, she usually does if I have to sit out."
_______

She nodded. "I'll be right here." She promised.

"I think Harrison respects and listens to you, and you need to make it clear to him that he has broken our babies heart a little without even knowing." Peyton answered. "If he doesn't want anymore children he shouldn't be so wreckless."

----
"She's with him, Max is with Aly. All of them are all loved up over there."

----
"Okay," Harrison whispered before drifting off.

"You do know that it takes two right?" Koby asked. "Look, they made a mistake and got caught with it, I'm sure they've learnt and I think deep down he knows."
________

She smiled softly. "And you got lonely?" She asked him. "I wish I could have been there with you, fighting side by side like the old days."
________

Faun smiled softly, lying her head on the pillow next to him.

"Faun wanted the baby though, she isnt going to be as careful because of that. He didn't, he should of been careful." Peyton answered. "Why do you always make me so angry, I'm asking you to do one thing - because he will respond better to you. If you don't, I will and no one wants me having that conversation with him."

----
"Yours and the baby's life is more important, hm?" Noah shrugged. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"Peyton they are both adults, and anyway mistakes happen you know that, as far as I know and want to know, they are being careful but full moon hormones don't help." He told her. "That's all I want to know about it."
______

She smiled softly. "I would say the same...But I did have to live without you and I never want to return to that."

"You have the protective instincts of a nat." Peyton snorted softly. "You just continue to swan in and get all the love and praise off of them, like you always do. See if I give a shit. How dare I ask you as a equal to do anything, especially when it comes to our child." she mumbled, before walking away and heading toward the town.

----
"Mm, I'm sorry you went through that."

"oYu only asked me because you don't want to upset people, ever thought that I don't want to upset our daughter and son-in-law by brining up a subject that is obviously a painful one for them both?" He asked.
_________

"It's okay."

"I asked because Harrison responds better to you! Harrison should be upset, he has made our baby feel like crap but then you dont care about that - you have let hunters hold a gun to her head multiple times and made me out to be the bad guy to everyone for making sure she didnt get killed. I'm going to eat, thank Andre for saving all of your mutts hides today, hm?" Peyton hummed before disappearing into the trees.

----
Noah shrugged, going quiet.

"Right and your an angel, screw you Peyton." He muttered, before he threw his bottle into the fire, not staying to watch the little explosure of alcohol on flames and he headed to his den that he had been offered.
_________

Rebekah kissed him gently. "I'm glad that you're okay."

Peyton headed toward the town in silence, trying to stay focused so she could hunt but too angry to be as vigilant as she should be.

---
"Mm," Noah hummed. "Still see them all, hear them all - the ones who died so I can come back. Can ignore them now, but, they are still around.

She nodded. "The witch said that they would be." She sighed. "Maybe you could all work together, they might be able to help you to srvive."
_____

Andre watched them and he followed Peyton.

"Honestly, I just want them to go away. It makes me feel awful, seeing everyone who is dead because of me."

---
Peyton glanced over her shoulder to see Andre following, sighing and slowing so he could catch up.

She sighed. "I know and I'm sorry that you had to go through this."
______

He caught up fairly easily. "You okay?"

"Fine. He always does that, or I.. Always do that." Peyton shrugged. "I don't know who's fault it is, I could ask him to smooth a dog for me and he would twist it to making me out to being unreasonable."

---
"I get to be with you, so.." Noah shrugged.

"Maybe he does have a little bit of a point though, the subject is painful to discuss, I've seen it and felt it, he just wants to spare them both from the heartbreak."
_____

She smiled softly. "But is it enough?"

"If your on his side you can get lost. Everyone is always on his side, that has been the story of my life. You want to join the Koby fan club go ahead, but keep it to yourself." Peyton muttered.

----
"Of course it is."

"Hey, don't start on me just because he's upset you Peyton." He told her. "I'm trying to be a voice of reason here."
_________

She smiled softly.

"I don't want reason, I want someone in my corner." Peyton told him bluntly. "And everyone can make out to me all they like that I don't know what I am on about, but Faun knows that I'm on her side no matter what - otherwise she wouldnt of reached out after years and years. Max has always seen it. My kids love me, even my protective side and if you men cant deal with it then stay out of my goddamn way."

"Did I say that I couldn't deal with it?" He asked. "Stop pushing people away because you're pissed." He told her. "I love you,"

"Stop defending him then! She was heartbroken, and she couldn't show it because of him and she still can't. She needs to grieve, people need to let her grieve! I asked Koby to talk to him because he responds better to Koby, because he loves Koby and everyone in that place just sees me as a crazy woman. I want my baby to know she can feel, I want my baby to have her partner hold her while she grieves even if he never wanted the baby. She deserves that. Asking my baby's dad to be a dad isnt too much to ask and if you think it is then... then I don't know, but I dont like it."

"I don't think it's too much, but I can see why he didn't want to." He told her.
