Dakota woke around 3am and went downstairs, siting on the couch with her head in her hands. She sighed and headed outside, grabbing Secret before bareback mounting up and taking off down the trail in the nearby woods

Dakota turned and had the memories of the bear attack so long ago rush back to her. She started hyperventialting and dahsed back home, practically throwing Seret to pasture before rushing inside. She noticed Hunter and Nate, hurrying to grab the baby. She rocked him gently, shushing him softly and cooing nonsense to him

Dakota didn't speak, sitting in Nate's lap and getting the baby to settle down. Hunter reached for the crying sight of his father, grabbing Nate's shirt
