**Josie's POV **

"This is breaking my heart. There are more kids here just like Bella. We have to help them. They need families now, today. They've already been through enough in their short lives without being left in a military base infirmary," I say into the mind link to my bonds.

"I'll check where we are on the list of people willing to take a child in," Deacon says.

He and I are more alike than I expected with similar interests and opinions. The more I talk with him, the more I can see what drew my mum to him. I can't change what happened in the past, but I can choose to have him in my future, and I want that. We still have a
