Chapter 365: Her Firstborn Daughter
Raine and Nathan were both quiet as they went back to their table. Raine felt very weak as she gently caressed her tummy and inwardly mused, ’Why did you do that Aire?’ She was genuinely scared of the impact Aire’s reckless action caused during her time travel in this timeline.
She felt Nathan squeeze her hand which brought her attention to him. Nathan gave her a reassuring smile as he whispered, "Everything will be alright."
Raine nodded but she knew Nathan was also worried like her. Right now they couldn’t do anything but wait for Aire to be born. Because of what happened, Raine and Nathan ended up having to leave the party sooner than expected.
As soon as they reached their home, Draki greeted them with a howl. Raine stroked the wolf’s fur and murmured, "Why is Aire so stubborn Draki? She went behind our backs and altered an event here."
"Relax now, my sweet vixen. Let’s just rest today. I will go to Carlos tomorrow and ask more about the consequences of altering the past using Voyager’s Watch. You can come with me if you want to. Don’t worry, I will do everything in my power to protect our daughter and not let her suffer the corresponding punishment in the future," Nathan convinced, to which Raine weakly nodded.
Despite all the reassurance, the weariness in her heart and mind remained.

Morning came and as planned, Raine and Nathan prepared themselves and went to see Carlos the moment they finished having breakfast with Lark and Mara.
"Can I come too?" Mara asked when she found out that the couple would visit Carlos.
