served in the military. It must have been not only hard on her but also lonely.
    “I don’t know how you did it for so long, raising us basically all on your own. I don’t know if I could ever do it.”
    Her mother wrapped her arm around Rachel’s shoulder and gave her a hug. “I won’t lie, there were times that I found it beyond hard. But I had your grandparents and my friends on the military base helping me whenever they could. You girls were worth it and to be honest, having the two of you to take care of helped take my mind off of the dangers that your father faced. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I love you two so very much and I am proud of both of you.”
    “Thanks Mom. I’m proud of you too.” She leaned over and kissed her mother’s cheek. When she turned back to sit forward, she caught Kyle’s eyes watching her. She felt her cheeks warm up and she had to turn her head to look in a different direction. This was going to be a long ride.
    It took about an hour before they reached the tribe community. Some of the children rushed out to greet them as they pulled up. Rachel looked at the thinning material that many of them wore and she felt guilty for her closet full of clothes. She would make sure to clean out what she didn’t use and bring it down here. She would also take up a collection of children’s clothes and food.
    The dome had been stocked with plenty of food, clothing, and medicine, so she never realized how much she had taken for granted until she came down to the subway tunnels. No wonder so many thought she was spoiled and useless. She had to change that about herself.
    Rachel had tried to get off the transport before Kyle offered to help, but he moved fast, appearing at her side and taking her hand to help her out before she could avoid him.
    The moment their skin touched, Rachel could have sworn she felt electricity race up her arm, through her entire body, then focus on her pussy. Fuck , if the guy could make her body react like this by simply touching her hand, what would happen if he decided to kiss her?
    At that thought her eyes immediately sought out his lips. They were simply perfect, with the bottom lip slightly bigger than the top. She licked her lips and noticed how his eyes were drawn to that motion. Was he just as affected as she was?
    “Mrs. James, Rachel, it is good to see the two of you again.” A tall woman with long black hair spoke as she approached them with her young son in tow.
    “Hi, Lily, dear, it’s so good to see you again,” her mom commented.
    Rachel smiled warmly at the other woman. Lily Tyner was an exceptionally good-looking woman. She had long dark hair and green eyes. Her son was just as adorable. “Hi, Lily. Hi, Thomas.”
    “Hi.” Little Thomas ducked behind his mom’s legs.
    Rachel smiled as her mother knelt down and held out a wrapped package. “I brought this just for you, Thomas. Maggie said it was your birthday and she wished she could have come to help celebrate, but she isn’t up to traveling. So instead, she asked me to bring you a present. She hopes you’ll like it.”
    Thomas looked up at his mom first before he stepped forward to take the package. “What is it?’
    “You’ll have to open it and see.” Rachel told him as she squatted down beside her mother in order to be at eye level with Thomas.
    Thomas carefully unwrapped his package and then his eyes lit up. “It’s a spaceship!”
    “Yes, Maggie got someone to make a replica of the Drastan command ship for you. And Mom and I were able to find you these.” Rachel handed him a different package from her own travel bag.
    Thomas tore into the second package much faster. Inside were two army figurines.
    “We thought you would need to have a commander and a lieutenant for your new spaceship,” Rachel said.
    “I love them!” Thomas threw his arms around Rachel’s neck and then around her mother’s neck. “Thank you! Mom, can I go show my friends what I got?”
    Lily looked
