Cassie watched silently as Ryan left. She wasn't sure if her words had gotten to him or not, but she sure hoped they had. If not, they were going to have to go on dealing with people looking down on Serix, something she couldn't stand for. When they were out of sight, Cassie gasped slightly when she was taken into Serix's close embrace. Letting out the breath she had been holding, she held herself tightly to him as he stroked her hair and talked to her.It was very comforting and she rested there for a moment, her head resting on the front of his shoulder until he finally pulled back, telling her not to worry about them and that as long as they were together everything would be fine.

Smiling slightly, she nodded and kissed him back, her arms slipping around his neck, only to hear Sarah interrupt with another one of her snide comments. Sighing Cassie looked to Serix and rolled her eyes playfully as Sarah left the room, "Well, all that was....interesting." Taking his hand, she kissed him once more, "Let's just hope this doesn't become a normal thing." She made her way with him through the hallways and back toward the dining hall. Everyone was gathered there once again and Cassie brought them over to sit next to Emily and the others once more, hoping there would be no interruptions again.

"Sooo, how did the farming go?" Emily ask, gently bouncing little Jamie as she sat there.

When Cassie hesitated to answer, Sarah of course, as always, was all too willing to answer for her, "She beat the hell out of Hunter. Worse than her mate over here did."

Emily frowned, "You did? What happened to make you do a thing like that?"

Cassie sighed, "Long story short, he was talking bad about Serix and I wanted him to know that wasn't okay. It's not like I wanted to beat someone up but I felt like it was the only way he would listen." She absent mindedly, as she sat there, huffed to blow a strand of hair out of her face and when she did, the baby in Emily's laughed went into a giggling fit. Instantly Cassie's mood was lightened at the sound of that and she smiled brightly as well, leaning forward to speak to the baby, "Awww, you're so cute. Did you think that was funny?" The baby in turn cooed and giggled some more.

Smiling as well, Emily looked to Cassie, then to her son, then to Cassie again, "Do you want to hold him?"

Blinking in surprise, Cassie pointed to herself, "Me? Hold the baby? Are you sure? I mean, I've ever really held one before."

Emily laughed, "It's easy." She positioned herself to show how she was holding the baby, "Just support the baby's head and everything is fine." Leaning over, Emily set the child in Cassie's waiting and gentle arms. 

Cassie smiled as she held the baby and after a moment of looking at him, she looked up to Serix as well, a smile on her face, speaking quietly as the baby yawned, seemingly so comfortable in her grasp that he was falling asleep, "Look at him Serix....he'e so peaceful." She smiled down at the boy that was drifting off and smiled more, wrapping him up a little tighter in the blanket in a motherly fashion, "I can't believe I'm holding a baby. Never thought I would." She then began rocking the infant, humming softly.
