Prologue.
He's never heard cries so loud.
So precious.
So small.
His hands curved over the soft cotton fabric of a pink recieving blanket as he held it close to him. Wrapped inside it was a beautiful newborn baby girl. A pink stocking hid her tiny little curls of dark brown, almost black hair. Her skin was as pale as a vampire could get. She even had rosy cheeks with warm brown hues. And because of her features, she reminded Joshua of his life-time best friend. Mercy...
What was that?
July had asked as he made his way towards the two.
Joshua looked up from the baby he was holding. I think we should name her after Mercy...
July smiled at his partner as he moved the blanket from the now sleeping baby's face. He knew very little of Mercy. All that he did know was that she came from Joshua's other life he once lived. What about Valerie Mercy Storm?
Valerie was a newborn they decided to adopt since her birth mother was too young and in Paris, it was forbidden to allow young vampires to have offspring. This was an advantage Joshua and July had took as a newly married couple. It also helped Valerie out in the end from meeting a certain death. Valerie's mouth curved into a small smile in her sleep as she laid in Joshua's arms. Looking away from her to glance at July, he nodded. I think that fits her well.
His gaze dropped back down at Valerie as he began to rock her gently. ...Valerie Mercy Storm.
July looked over Joshua's shoulder as he let out a sigh to himself. He knew he'd never compare to Mercy and that's what killed him.
How was he supposed to meet his husbands standards?

Anastasia picked up a stick and poked it into the rushing water of the stream she was following. She was poking at nothing as she hit every colorful rock along her path. Mercy followed close behind her, her eyes on her scar on her arm she had gotten when she was much younger. A terrible time it was for her. Merkat, you really need to take your mind elsewhere..
Anastasia hummed as she skipped ahead just by a foot. You're safe now. That evil monster isn't going to come back for you.
It's been two years.
Two years of torture.
Two years of worrying if her attacker would be back.
Two years without her best friend.
Ana--
I know, I know. It's not the same without Joshie.
Anastasia let out a deep sigh as she threw the stick into the water. I'm sorry, Mer. I just think we need to look at this situation as that Joshua is not coming back... ever.
Don't say that!
Mercy frowned. You don't know that.
Anastasia looked over at Mercy who was now shoving her hands into her coat pockets. Mercy, I'm his twin. I know him just a tiny bit better than anyone else. Even Skylar.
I heard that.
Skylar muttered from a close by tree.
No offense. But I do. If he was going to stay, he wouldn't have ran out on you. Most importantly, he wouldn't have hurt... you.
Mercy's frown stayed as she started to feel hurt again. She remember how Joshua tried to reassure her that he would never hurt her, but he did. He did the one thing he said he wouldn't. And that broke Mercy's heart. Thanks, Anastasia.
I'm just saying Mer. You really need to move on from him. Find someone else... We're not going to think any less of you.
Skylar let out a scoff at Anastasia as Mercy walked away from them. Jumping down from the tree, he joined his baby sister. Together they watched Mercy leave out of the clearing and back into town. Ana, you need to watch how you speak to her.
I wasn't trying to be mean, Skylar. You know that.
I might know that, but does Mercy?
Anastasia looked up at her brother. He was right. No one knew how Mercy felt or what she felt. Even if Skylar tried to read her. I just hope that one day she can let what happened go and live a normal life. With or without Joshua.
Anastasia nodded. She needs to not be scared to live anymore.

Misery sighed deeply as she cleaned up after her aunt. Yet another day of awful name calling and ratchet breath. Her aunt was drinking again. Not only did it terrify Misery, it terrified her aunt's son Jer. Jer, can you help my get aunt Novalee's shoes off?
Jer nodded as he walked
