A Familiar Face

"Athena?" Anax asks as he sees the tears falling from my eyes, "you okay?" I smile as I nod and I caress the face that is staring back at me, "I don't know the first man, but I know this man and even though he is older, he is different and he truly cares about people. He is my brother, Jaxon."

James tenses at those words, "Then you are not unbiased." I shake my head, "Isn't it better to know them than to not know them?" James sighs, "Amoli cannot be hurt again. Brody will be punished as would any other man for unlawfully divorcing, but I need to be picky so I will make this decision then." I nod and Anax follows me out of the room.

"Why didn't you lie?" Anax asks me and I sigh. "Lying won't get me anywhere anyways," I say seriously, "I should go help Amoli and feed Baruch." He nods, "I will get to work." I nod as I walk towards Amoli's room.

Amoli is on the floor crisscross as she feeds Athena as well as the boys at the same time.
