Any and all reservations crumpled to dust at her feet the instant she laid eyes upon Erzulie.  She loosed a small, semi-strangled cry as she too raced forward.  Any others that might still be around were instantly forgotten.

Her hind legs buckled beneath her and she sat, drawing her wife close as she could into an embrace. Children or no; she would not leave again.  Not unless they left as one.
