Flint started to lunge up out of the bed, even as Lisa rolled to sit on her side of the bed. She was panting for breath completely panicked in the need to get to her children.
"Lisa I have them! Don't get up!" Maria said quickly moving past the end of the bed carrying Brian and tugging the oldest girl along behind her.
Both children looked sleepy and completely puzzled as to what was going on. Maria set Brian down on the bed and Lisa pulled both of her children against her sides still breathing hard her face now creased in pain.
I dodged around the bed and knelt before her my hands going to rub on her belly, as I tried my best to calm both mother and the two frightened individuals in her womb. The two babies responded to my comforting thoughts before their mother did.
Lisa's breathing came under control, as Flint whispered into her ear from behind, as I did my best to soothe her with the touch of my hands and thoughts.
Lisa was crying and in a breathless mumble of emotion she asked, "What's going to happen to my babies?" Her eyes were fear itself, as she pulled her two older children against her sides tightly.
My hands left her belly and moved up to embrace her face as my eyes drilled into hers, "Nothing is going to happen to your children Lisa. Nothing!"
"Promise?" She whimpered.
"As the Lord lives why do you think we were sent to help you? Does the Lord fail in keeping those who are promised to Him?"
Lisa shook her head no as tears continued to fall.
"Then rest assured that the safety of your children is already an accomplished thing. God does not forsake those who've put their trust in Him, when they need Him most."
Lisa's lips firmed and she nodded resolutely.
I got back up to my feet and leaning over I kissed her on the forehead, which was damp with sweat.
"Be at peace Lisa and rest here with your children, while we handle the fight."
I stepped away and Maria quickly hugged Lisa and whispered something into her ear before breaking off to follow quickly after me.
Flint slid around from behind and got to his feet. He quickly kissed the top of each of his two kid's heads before meeting Lisa's eyes and asking, "Are you going to be all right?"
She nodded bravely and he kissed her passionately for a moment. Pulling back he straightened up, as Lisa gazed up at him lovingly and said, "Go take them out Tiger!"
