211 Commander ‘s trials

When Morrigan and Uktena leave , Aisling and Moll go to get breakfast leaving the others to talk. Remi and Yona take Crystal to pick up Brayden for school. HeJin came to the kitchen with a sad look on her face, looking like she is about to cry. Moll goes over and hugs her and tells it's ok to cry. Walking HeJin outside Moll lets her cry till she is ready to talk. 

"What are we to do if he becomes violent? He is trained in all forms of combat from marshal arts to weapons. He has been trained since a small child, how to track and hunt. I have never been afraid before but now hearing what has been said I am. My husband is a kind and loving man but he is also a deadly weapon. He has always kept a tight rein on his temper, because he knows to do so could leave someone dead. If he hurt anyone that he loves he would be devastated. He may never get over the guilt. "

moll feels the fear in HeJin's voice , it's not just her voice trembling but her entire body. Moll gives HeJin's hand a squeeze. 

"My boy is strong and he has strong ties with God and family. We will put safe guards up to help him like putting all weapons in a locked place and changing the locks. That way he cannot get to them. If he gets violent we have enough men here to help subdue him. We also have safe places in the house that we can put him if need be. We will not give up on him. Not only that since we know what is happening we know that it is not him that is responsible. We all know him , and know who he is inside. I'm sure that Winona could explain this better than me, but here goes. 

we all have a core self and even if we get sick and stray from that self we will only be able to go so far. There is a point that we cannot cross. I know he has killed in the line of duty but he would not be able to hurt someone he loves. I am hoping at the most he may curse, threaten and possibly hit someone. I don't think he would be able to truly hurt anyone to the point of death. The men are more than willing to spar with him if he needs to vent his  emotions. This is a test that he cannot fail or we will lose him. So we must do everything we can to endure what ever we can and be ready to forgive him. " HeJin lays her head on moll's shoulder and prays she is right. That her husband will be able to fight whatever he will be faced with. The two ladies get up to go back inside when they see Steve standing there. His face is dark and angry . He goes to grab HeJin but Moll places her behind her. 

Moll stares at Steve her eyes daring him to touch her. 

" Steve what is wrong why are you angry?" Moll confronts him. 

" I'm am angry because the inside of my head is burning with thoughts I can't control. I'm angry that my wife of so many years is afraid with no reason yet. " Moll looks at him and smiles sarcastically at him. 

"oh lord I have not seen that look since we were teenagers. If the worst we have to deal with is you reverting back to a teenager that I can handle. It may actually be fun reliving the teenage years. " He winks at his brother. 

"Hmm, if only I could jist stay high till this passes but I can't if I go back to that I may wind of dying from it anyway. That is not ok either. I don't want to put my wife through that, but I guess it might be better than what I'm feeling right now." Steve takes HeJin's hand and raises it to his lips for a soft kiss . She smiles at her husband not as frightened as before. He looks around and noticed that Maureen was not here. 

"Where is Momo? Why did she not come down to eat?" Steve asks . 

" since the babe is a soul healer he is draining her strength at the moment. So she will be resting most times till he is born." Onacona tells him. Steve looks towards the living room . Curious he asks. 

"Is it because of me the babe senses that I need healing. So he is draining her energy not knowing. Would it be better for me to not be in the same house as Momo. I would not be able to withstand it knowing that my presence is causing her pain." Steve lowers his head and looks at his plate. Onacona lays his hand on his shoulder. 

"Son this is not your fault, our house is finished and I will take her there we had planned on revealing the house when you came back anyway. So the house warming party will just wait till after the babe is born. This is not your fault. Onacona's eyes are gentle and warm looking at Steve conveying his affection for the man. Steve smiles at him and says to him. 

" you know if people outside of this house were to hear how we talk they would find it strange. A thirty something man calling a sixty four year old man son. I am so happy that you are here . I don't know if Momo told you but I'm glad you were able to be reborn in this time so that we could be together as a family. Thank you for all of your care through out my life Uncle. I know I can't call you that around others but it's nice to say it this morning." 

Onacona looks at him and tells him. 

" It is nice to hear as well, I am grateful to the Father for allowing it as well. My heart is full of love and hope for our family. I know we never really speak about the time we were spirits but my heart ached when I could do noting more than watch over you and give you spiritual comfort. Now I can do everything I wanted to do with you before. For that I am ready to do whatever it takes to help you." Onacona turns and goes up to check on his wife. Steve looks at everyone and makes an announcement. 

"We are going to get through this stronger than ever. So what are we going to do today? I'm not totally deranged yet so what ever my wife wants to do we will do." 

Aisling looks at her uncle and grins and makes a suggestion. 

"I think we need to go for a hike down the back trail behind the house. I want to take him to Macha's old shack . I think him seeing what what he helped save those poor souls from would help remind him that he is a good man. I went not long ago with Crystal she says it no longer has evil or shadows. So I think for him to see the cellar would be helpful for him. It will remind him when times are hard why he fights." 

They all agree and get ready for the walk to the old shack .
