Chapter 100: Family

Flo found Serena in the campaign hospital, directing the nurses and medical staff. “Serena!” she called. The younger female stopped and waved to Flo. “Luna Flo,” she said. Flo went to her and hugged her. Serena smiled, hugging the Luna back. She wasn’t expecting it. Serena had always felt close to Flo, but not this close! She thought it was nice, though, seeing as Flo was her kids’ grandmother. “I had the most illuminating chat with my son this morning,” Flo said. Serena sighed, stepping back. “He told you about Olivia and Oliver, then?” she asked. “Yes, he did,” Flo said with a nod. She took Serena’s hands in hers. Serena smiled. Her own mother was so far away, it was nice to have another maternal figure so close. “I’m sorry I kept it a secret,” she said quickly. Flo shook her head. “You don’t need to explain anything to me,” she assured. “I’m a mother too, I know the lengths I would go to in order to protect my son, even now,” she said. She pushed some hair out of Serena’s face in a maternal gesture. “Did he tell you the other things?” Serena asked. “About us being mates?” Flo laughed and nodded.

“He did,” she said. “I understand the complications that come with that, especially when you both have such different lives. For what it is worth, I think you would make a wonderful Luna. I hope my son figures that out too.” “You always speak your mind,” Serena muttered, turning to organize some medical equipment. “The benefits of being older and being a Luna,” Flo said. “I did have a feeling there was a connection between the twins and my family. I’m glad that they are a part of my family. Serena, I promise I will always take care of them, if you let me.” “I’d like that,” Serena said with a nod. “They would too. They are very fond of you.” “I can be Grandma Flo,” the Luna said with a beaming smile. Serena chuckled. “Can you hand me those towels?” she asked, pointing to a pile of white towels. Flo grabbed them and Serena started to fold them and stack the neatly. “Ware family, Serena,” Flo said, “even if you and my son are never more than friends, your kids are a part of this family and that makes you a part of this family.” “Thank you,” Serena said with a smile. “That means a lot, seeing as my own family is far away.” 

“I always felt a strong connection to you,” Flo said putting her hand on Serena’s shoulder. “Never having a daughter of my own…” “It’s nice, having someone maternal around when I can’t be with my own mother”…

“Speaking of, can we call the kids and say ‘hello?” Flo asked pulling her phone out. Serena laughed. She finished up with the towels and grabbed her own phone.

She put on the video chat function and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang several times until Charlotte

“Video, what are you talking about?” Charlotte asked. Serena could hear the kids in the background begging to talk to her. “We called you to video chat. There should be an invitation on the phone to turn on the video,” Serena tried to explain. She looked at Flo and rolled her eyes. “I don’t seem what you’re talking about,” Charlotte said. “Oh, I can’t

“Hi mommy!” she said.

“Luna Flo is here with me. She wanted

She turned it to show Oliver too, and he also waved. “Hello twins,” Flo said, waving back. “I swear, you two have grown a foot since the last time

 
 

Flo said in greeting. “Luna Flo,” Serena’s mother said back. “It has been a long time.” “Yes, it has,” Flo said with a nod. “Tell me, Olivia and Oliver, are you being good for your grandmother?” Serena asked. “We are good” Oliver said with a nod. Serena looked at her mother for confirmation. “They’ve been behaving,” Charlotte said. “Although, Thomas left the bait worms

Oliver said together, causing Serena, Flo, and Charlotte to laugh. A trucked pulled into the camp where the warriors were assembling, not too far from the hospital. The temporary medical facility had become the base
