“Feed,” he encouraged, “you'll be walking in no time. You are cranky because
you are hungry and tired.”
Kennedy didn't often scream and cry, but when she did it was hard to miss. Now
she threw a little tantrum in my arms. Stayne’s family stood and backed into the
wall. Basin's family looked wary and sat quietly. They weren't sure what to do and
Kennedy would not stop.
Damien shook his head and stroked Kennedy's head and back soothingly.
Christof talked softly to her and Kein literally milked my breast to tempt her to eat.
It worked, not surprisingly. Kennedy took the rich, warm fluid on her tongue and
cried as she clung to me.
“She’s exhausted,” Christof said motioning Stayne’s family to sit. “We can't let her
go so Long without food and rest. She needs to sleep some in the day.”
Choking sobs were intermixed with sucking sounds as Kennedy slowly settled
down in my arms.
“You distract us well, Hannah,” Damien joked standing to pat Hannah's shoulder.
“This female offspring is not Like you. You would not miss a meal for anything.”
My family Laughed remembering Hannah's unstoppable appetite. Ra told them a
few stories from their more recent escapades regarding Hannah's need to feed.
My family Laughed and the other men just Looked confused.
I sat and nursed Kennedy and realized the other men had no comparison for
Damien's relationship with Hannah or Kennedy. Unlike the other women here,
Hannah and Ra viewed the men as equals. They respected their intelligence and
questions. It was the opposite of what the men were used to.
Kennedy calmed and quieted in my arms. As she relaxed Christof passed a hand
over her back and stroked her wings. The little spans of flesh twittered and then
settled under his touch. He moved the right wing to fold it more comfortably on
her back before putting a blanket over her.
“Touching of the wings is considered a very personal act,” Ra commented. “A
woman allows her Sisters to touch them. Men should touch them with the
reverence you have shown. It is good you interact with the young one this way.
She will fit in well... with us and our friends.”
Basin spoke then. He had touched women’s wings to bind them. Many times he’d
suffered the sharp barbs at the tips. No one had ever encouraged him to revere a
woman's wings.
“We have Learned the true history,” Ra told him sadly.
Angela's Library
“In the past you would have been family with women, as well as, your Brothers.
You would have respected them and they would have respected you.
“Those relationships now are built on pain and fear. The women believe they are
superior because they are stronger. You have talents and so you are an asset.
But, you and your Brothers have the right to grow and flourish without dread. All
sentient creatures should have that right.”
The girls let the statement hang and didn’t push the issue further. Damien passed
a hand down my arm and smiled at me.
“We have found great happiness that way,” he said simply.
“Freedom makes the family strong.”
