“Would you like to hold her?” Scarlett asks. He softly nods.

We set him up in a safe position so that he can easily hold her. Gently, Scarlett places the baby in his arms. He looks down at her and seems to get lost in her features. Mesmerized with her like most people are seeing a new baby.

“Have you picked a name?” Ghost asks.

She shakes her head, “Not yet. We were waiting to see if one came to us but still nothing.”

“Raven,” Sorren mumbles.

“Ignore him, he’s been obsessed with birds this month.” I laugh.

“No. No. That’s actually a nice name. Raven..Ravenna. What about Ravenna?” James asked the room.

“Hmm, yeah. Ravenna… I like it.” Scarlett coos.

“Ravenna it is.” Lucas says with finality as he looks to Ryon who nods back.

Scarlett reaches for Ravenna, to retrieve her from Sorren's grasp. He swiftly pulls back, almost tightening his hold on the infant. On instinct, I rush to his side and pull the baby from his arms. He yells loudly and lunges for her, grabbing my arms roughly in the process.

“She’s mine! Give her back! I named her! She’s mine!” He screams in panic.

“Sorren! She is notyours. She is their baby. Also, she’s not an object. You cannot keep her.” I defensively say back, shocked by his actions.

“I will. She’ll be mine. All mine and no one else’s.” He says, never looking away from the baby in my arms.

THE END.
