“You like Gwyn?”
I’m laying on the bench, lifting, while Azriel spots me and Rhys stands near my feet, downing half a bottle of water.
“Seems nice enough,” I say, through clenched teeth. “Genuine.” 
Azriel grabs the bar and guides it back to its resting place. It’s Rhysand that asks, “How’ve things been at home?”
I sit up, running a hand through my sweaty hair before pulling it back. “Weird. Not bad, but different, I guess. It feels like we’re just tiptoeing around each other all the time.”
“You need to fuck,” Rhys says, and Azriel snorts but Rhys is dead serious as he completely contradicts Gwyn’s earlier words. 
Although I understand where Gwyn is coming from, I don’t think Rhys is wrong. Trying not to think of my wife’s naked body, I get a towel to clean off the bench before heading to one of the many treadmills for a run. I figure I’d get a mile in before joining my brothers in the steam room, then it’s home to make dinner for Nesta.
Hopefully we can find something substantial to talk about while we eat. I’m tired of smalltalk, it feels forced and I hate it. Not that it’s bad, it’s just…empty. I miss joking around and not being afraid to say exactly what’s on my mind, but I don’t feel like I can do that now. We’re not there yet. 
“Hey, Cass.”
I look up from the treadmill I’ve just stepped onto to find a familiar face. I give her a lazy smile. “Hey.”
I’ve known Justine for a couple months now, since she’s joined the gym. We’re often here at the same time, both on similar schedules. She’s nice enough, although Rhys and Az think that her showing up when I’m here is no coincidence.
Maybe they’re not wrong.
“Haven’t seen you much this week,” she says, leaning against the equipment. 
“Been busy.” I shrug. “Why? Miss me?”
She rolls her eyes in that way that girls have always rolled their eyes at me, that tells me they’re not really annoyed by anything I say or do. The only woman that’s ever truly been annoyed by me is the one that I married. Maybe that’s one of the things that drew me to Nesta, the fact that I could get under her skin. The tension it created that led to life altering sex.
“Just starting to think that you’re ignoring me,” she says, sweetly, leaning a little closer on the arm of the treadmill. Yeah, I know that move. Her breasts are suddenly a little more on display for only me to see. 
I keep my eyes on hers. Try to, anyway. I mostly succeed. “I would never.”
The smile she gives me is sensual, and it’s all playful fun until she slides a finger up my forearm. I should ask her to stop, but it’s nice to be touched like that. It’s a simple touch, nothing too forward, but behind that touch lies a promise of something more. Rhys is right. I need to fuck. I’m a man, and I’m horny as hell, and my hand has only gotten me so far.
“You almost done here?” Justine asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Why don’t we…get some dinner?”
Her hand is on mine. The reality of what’s before me finally hits me. She doesn’t want dinner. I know what she wants. It’s obvious that food is the last thing on her mind. I pull my hand away and step off the treadmill, despite the fact that I never turned it on. 
“I can’t,” I say, as politely as I can. “I’m sorry.”
She grabs my arm to stop me so I face her, and there’s hardly any room to breathe between us. “Can’t?”
“I’m married,” I say, as if that explains it all.
She looks down at the hand she was just holding. “I’ve never seen a ring.”
“I don’t wear it when I workout,” I say, simply, “but I can go get it from my bag and you can watch me put it back on, if you want.”
The words come out a little hostile and Justine’s eyes narrow. I blame it on the sexual frustration. 
She says, “You’ve been married all this time and flirting with me for months? That’s a dick move, Cass.”
“I haven’t been flirting with you.” I know the words are a lie before they even leave my mouth. 
She knows. “Liar,” she croons, and lays a hand against my chest. “I know you want me, Cass, married or not, I don’t care. Come on. Dinner. At my place.”
I take her hand and push it away, back down to her side. “No, thank you. I—”
I don’t get another word out before an obnoxiously loud smack sounds and my cheek starts stinging.
She fucking slaps me.
People around us all turn to stare as Justine says cocky jackass and storms off. 
My brothers are nowhere to be found, so they must already be hiding in the steam room, which I’m glad of. Otherwise they would never let me live this not-so-proud moment down. 
I send a text to our group chat, letting them know that I’m going to go ahead and go home. In the locker room mirror, there’s a red splotch on my cheek, barely seen beneath my scruff, but I’m hoping it fades quickly. 
No, I don’t want to sleep with Justine.
I would never cheat on my wife, I never have, even at our worst.
But it was really fucking nice to be wanted.
By the time I walk into the house, I have been in my own head for far too long. The house is quiet as I walk in, only setting my nerves on edge. Greg is asleep on the couch in a shaft of late afternoon sun. I scratch his head as I walk by, but he doesn’t even stir and I chuckle under my breath.
Spoiled little shit.
As I ascend the stairs, I see the door to Nesta’s office is closed. For a second, I hesitate as I reach the top stair.
Before I left for the gym, we agreed that we’d have dinner and spend the evening together. Her edits would be done before I got home. She’s been better about limiting the amount of time she spends on her computer, whether that’s writing, editing, planning, or responding to her overflowing inbox. I’ve tried to be more open with my thoughts and feelings. It’s been an awkward few days, but we’re trying. It actually feels like we’re making progress, even after our disaster of a date.
Seeing her office door shut feels like a slap in the face and this one hurts a hell of a lot worse than Justine’s physical one.
My jaw is locked and I’m doing my best not to grit my teeth as I walk by, heading for the shower when I hear her voice through the door.
“They didn’t exactly give me the easiest turn around. They wanted rewrites on multiple chapters in days, Eris. I’ve got a lot going on right now and—”
She was cut off as her absolute dickwad of a manager interrupted her.
I have no clue what he says, but I know it must be bad when Nesta says, “I’m. Trying.”
I know that tone.
People fear that tone. 
Another few seconds of silence goes by, then she says, “I’ll have it done. Alright?...Yeah. Yeah, no, I know, Eris, for fuck’s sake.” Her chair scoots back, and I take that as my cue to keep walking. Yeah, I want to know what’s going on, but if Nesta opens the door to find me while she’s already pissed, I don’t think she’ll like my prying. If she wants to talk about it, she’ll talk about it. 
I take my time in the shower, but by the time I’m down in the kitchen, taking ingredients out of the fridge in my sweatpants, Nesta’s still on the damn phone. I can hear her pacing upstairs. 
After cleaning a heap of green beans, I toss them with salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and parmesan before dropping them into a pan to roast alongside my marinated chicken. I’ve just opened a beer when I hear her office door open and she comes downstairs.
I don’t know what to say in greeting, so I raise my brow. She gives me an apologetic look, that quickly turns into her eyes wandering my body. Yeah, I didn’t wear a shirt for a reason. I want to know if my wife still finds me attractive, and it seems she does.
And I get hot when I cook.
Shirts are irrelevant. 
“I thought I heard you come in.” Her eyes come back to mine. “Sorry, I know I said I’d be done—”
“Is everything okay?” I ask, saving her the trouble of explaining herself. 
“Just, Eris…” She shakes her head. “I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just get pissed. How was the gym?”
Well, I got slapped in the face. “Good. I think I went a little too hard, though. A little sore. You sure you don’t want to talk about Eris?”
She sucks her bottom lip between her teeth but shakes her head. “I don’t want to ruin the night with my work issues.”
I set my beer down on the table and walk towards her. She doesn’t move. Even in leggings and an oversized tee, she’s stunning. “Nes, it’s okay to talk to me about your work, especially if that asshole’s being a dick to you.” 
I want to hug her but I don’t.
I want to touch her, to kiss her, but I won’t. 
Gwyn suggested we start with touches, physical contact, anything as long as it isn’t sex, of course, but Nesta hasn’t indicated she’s ready for that.
Hearing that your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you because she’s terrified to get pregnant and miscarry again is hard to hear. I don’t want to push her into anything she isn’t ready for, even if I’m desperate for her touch.
She swallows, looking at my chest, but I’m not sure she’s actually aware that she’s staring at me. “The publishing company asked for two chapters to be completely re-written for one book and four for another. Meanwhile, I’ve got edits I’m still working on for previous submissions and I just…” Shaking her head, she finally meets my gaze. “The timelines they give me aren’t realistic for one woman.”
I don’t hesitate before I speak, knowing my words could set her off, but needing to voice my thoughts.
Time to see if therapy really has taught us anything.
“To be fair, Nes, you set yourself up with some unrealistic expectations. You’ve released what? Three books already this year? And you’ve got how many in the editing process?”
It wasn’t a dig. It wasn’t meant to point out that it was her own fault. It was the truth.
Something I would have said to her before everything went to shit.
With a sigh, Nesta closes her eyes and drops her forehead to my chest. “I know. That’s what he and I have been fighting about. I told him I can’t keep up with this kind of demand and he told me I did it to myself.”
I'm frozen in place. I heard what she said, but I’m floored by the feel of her skin on mine, by the contact that she initiated. I wrap my arms around her before I can second guess myself and rub a hand up and down her back.
“You have to do what’s best for you,” I say, processing what she said. “If he can’t understand that, if he can’t get the publishing company to understand, then fuck him.”
It’s the shittiest advice I’ve ever given, but honestly? My brain is shorting out, feeling Nesta’s body pressed against mine. She fits so perfectly against me, like she was made just for me.
“Easier said than done,” she murmurs, and looks up at me.
I could easily close the distance between us, could easily lean down and kiss her, and I really fucking want to but I contain myself.
At least until her hand comes up to rest on my chest. I brush a stray strand of hair behind her ear and rub my thumb along her cheek. It feels so good to touch her but I’m nervous, worried that I’ll go too far, that I’ll do something wrong and mess up this progress we’ve seemed to make.
I remember now that we’ve been having a conversation but I can hardly remember what it was about much less how to respond. All I can focus on is her hand against my chest. Her being this close is driving me insane to the point that it’s nearly unbearable. I hope she doesn’t look down, doesn’t come closer, doesn’t feel how much such simple contact is affecting me.
Her eyes never leave mine.
Her lips part.
And I open my mouth to say her name, but then the smoke alarm is going off and I’m spewing every foul word in the English language. 
I have no idea how long the food has been in the oven. At this point, I don’t even remember putting it in there.
I turn the oven off, clear the smoke, and reset the smoke alarm while standing on a chair in the kitchen.
And while I do this, Nesta is leaning against the counter, laughing hysterically. I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard her laugh, but hearing it now makes every ounce of anger and embarrassment at ruining dinner disappear.
She’s laughing.
She’s happy.
Even if it’s all while making fun of me, the chef that nearly set the kitchen on fire.
Once her laughter finally dies down, she orders takeout, and we sit on the couch and eat it together, side by side.

hiiiiiii ✌🏻 ur blog brings me so much joy and fascination!! im particularly fond of the legless lizards right now. did the legs come first? or was it the lizards? and when did they break up?
thanks for sharing ur love with the world! 💖
thank you so much booboo.
i also love legless lizards. snakes and all (other) groups of legless lizards evolved from lizards that had 4 legs. there are different groups of legless lizards that evolved from legged lizards at different times throughout the evolutionary history of lizards. you can even see some lizards that are not quite legless but have tiny functionless legs.

Sidney's POV
𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗦 are riding with me to Forks High School to enroll. I showered, got dressed, and grabbed my phone and car keys.
"Are you ladies ready yet?" I called throughout the house as I left my room.
"We're coming!" I hear Raelynn's voice yell from upstairs.
"Let's go," I said, touching my hips.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, different footsteps trotted down the steps.
"Jeez, we had to ensure we had all the correct papers," Autumn said as she descended the steps.
The rest of the girls came down dressed and ready. We left the house outside in my red Jeep Wrangler, and I drove to the school. As I pulled into a space, students went to their vehicles to get to class. Walking through the high school doors, I found the office, and we headed inside.
"Hello, how can I help you, ladies?" A woman at the front desk asked with a polite smile.
"Hi, we're here to enroll ourselves in school," I replied, returning the smile to her.
"Are you ladies of age?" The woman, whose name tag read Adalyn Mitchell, asked, looking at us.
"Yeah, and we live together," I answered, straightening the papers.
"Okay, just hand over your forms, have a seat, and wait for the principal, please." The front desk receptionist said with a smile on her face.
"What classes are you hoping to get?" I asked the girls, crossing one leg over the other.
"It doesn't matter to me. I can outsmart the nerds here." Audrey grinned, shrugging her shoulders.
"Yeah, that sounds right." I laughed, nodding my head.
Soon, the woman returned and handed us our documents before typing away on her computer. The receptionist told us to have a seat while she enrolled us in school since it would take a little while.
"Oh, since we're all here, what happened when you shifted the other night?" Jenny quietly asked, glancing around to ensure no one was watching us.
"Well, after I shifted, Nessia came to a clearing where Embry was waiting," I explained, thinking back to that night. "We talked, and he told me the truth."
"What truth?" Audrey questioned with a confused expression.
"The reason my brother, Paul, and Jared bullied me was that they saw me as weak since I'm from the Black Bloodline and hadn't shifted yet," I revealed, growing sad at the thought.
"That's fucked up," Autumn said, shaking her head as she hugged me.
"You know what? Let's go to Sam's place so I can fuck all four of them up." Jenny remarked, visibly upset.
"Calm down, sassy pants," Raelynn said, touching Jenny's shoulder.
"And what did Embry say Sam did about the situation?" Audrey questioned, glancing at me.
"I forgot to ask." I shrugged my shoulders.
"I bet he looked the other way. Fucking piece of shit." Jenny cursed, shaking her head with crossed arms.
"Either that, or he didn't have a care in the world," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"Imagine their faces if and when they find out you're a wolf and a strong one." Autumn teased as a smirk appeared on her face.
"That would be the best thing ever." Raelynn laughed, nodding her head.
"The look of defeat and disappointment in their eyes will be priceless." Autumn chuckled, staring off into space.
"Oh, let the games begin." Jenny laughed, rubbing her hands together.
The principal and secretary called us into the office and reviewed our schedule and school rules. After the lady at the front desk gave us our necessary paperwork, we exited the building, returned to my car, and got in. Autumn suggested we go to a coffee shop to get out of the house. Arriving at Frozen Bean Coffee Bar, we got out and headed inside, where the smell of coffee beans hit my nose. It smelled so good.
As we found an empty table, Autumn and Raelynn stood in line to order blueberry or banana muffins and iced coffee for everyone. I never get tired of it, seeing as I'm used to eating muffins from Emily.
"So, since we're on the topic of Sam and his pack, tell us about Embry, Sidney," Raelynn commented, sending a grin my way.
I gasped, causing myself to choke on my iced coffee as I glanced at her. "W-What about Embry?"
"What is he like?" Audrey asked with a sly grin on her face.
"In what way?" I questioned, arching an eyebrow at her.
"I don't know. What's Embry's favorite food or color?" She replied, smiling at me.
"Well, his favorite color is blue, and as far as food, I'm guessing any meat," I explained, shrugging my shoulders. "He's super sweet, though."
"You said he would always be nice to you when the other guys weren't around, right?" Raelynn asked, looking at me.
"Yeah, after Jacob, Paul, and Jared bullied me, he'd find me and make sure I was okay," I answered, chewing another piece of my blueberry muffin.
"Aww, that's so sweet." Autumn cooed, softly smiling at me.
"When the guys were around bullying me, it was as if Embry wanted to say something to them to get them to stop," I pointed out, swirling my straw in my cup.
"The main problem is Jacob, Jared, and Paul. Not Embry." Raelynn conceded, nodding in thought.
"Exactly what I thought," I replied, nodding in agreement.
"Just wait. If I ever come across those guys, it will NOT be pretty. I'll tell you that." Jenny remarked, shaking her head.
Upon hearing Jenny's meaningful comment, I smiled at her determined words. "I'm glad I have you girls as real friends."
"Aww, and we're glad we have you too." Audrey cooed as my friends wrapped me in a bear hug.
As they sat down, we continued chatting about what we wanted in our future with our mates. Just thinking about a life with Embry made me feel a way inside. It gave me butterflies picturing him as a father, but I loved it. I'm in love with that idea. Maybe it wasn't so bad.
Unlocking the house's front door, I walked inside first and heard the sound of the guys screaming at each other. Confused, I looked at the girls, and we raced to where they were. I found Drew holding baby Ella over the sink inside the butler's pantry with poop all over her back and on his arm.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked, staring at him with my hand on my hips.
"Diaper explosion. It's everywhere." He replied, gagging at the sight before him.
"Bro, we have to throw the whole baby away." I hear Xavier say from behind me.
"You will do no such thing." Raelynn gasped, turning to look at him.
"Look, calm down. All you have to do is clean Ella up, wash her, and redress her." Audrey replied, rolling her eyes.
"It's all over her seat and blankets, too," Drew replied as Raelynn turned on the faucet.
"Okay, we'll clean it," Jenna said, walking towards the living room.
I followed behind her and saw the explosion baby Ella had in her seat. Drew wasn't kidding when he said his daughter had poop everywhere. It was on her chair, the blanket, and the rug. Grabbing the pink baby blanket and the carpet, I headed to the laundry room and tossed them in the washer. While those were washing, I helped Jenna scrub the baby rocker.Finally, after baby Ella was cleaned up and changed into a new diaper, she was all smiles and giggles. As for Drew, he gagged all the way upstairs to his room for a much-needed shower.
Jacob's POV
I couldn't hold it in any longer. Why did we have to keep this curse a secret? It was stupid. Bella knew of vampires' existence, so what can't she know about wolves? Why can't she see that I'm a werewolf? This isn't fair.
' Jacob, get to the north end. NOW! We've got trouble. '
' I'm on my way, Sam. '
Opening my window, I leaped out and phased into my wolf as I ran to the destination Sam told me to meet him at. As I approached them from behind, the putrid smell of a vampire wafted into my nose, making me disgusted. The next thing I saw was Bella frozen in her tracks with the blood-sucking leech Laurent slowly stalking towards her.
' Let's move in. '
The pack and I slowly walked toward the blood-sucking leech stalking closer to Bella, emerging from the trees. Our snarls echoed through the trees as we revealed ourselves. Bella looked our way and gasped. I looked at her, and we stared at one another until Laurent took off using his vampire speed.
' Jake, let's go! '
Shifting back to human form, I slid on some shorts and followed the guys inside Emily’s place. As Sam walked inside, he glared at me and said nothing but stepped up to his fiance and kissed her cheek, making her giggle. Emily sat a basket of muffins on the table, and the guys dug in, munching away. 
Tumblr media
   Sam dismissed us to go home and get some rest, but I couldn’t sleep. Not until I got this weight off my chest. Trotting to Bella’s house, I picked up a small pebble and tossed it at her window. When she didn’t come to the glass, I grabbed another and threw it up. Finally, a light in the room came on, and Bella appeared.
“Jacob?” She whispered, staring at me confused.
“Back up, I’m coming up,” I warned, moving far away.
   I quietly leaped onto the side of the house, jumping to a large tree branch, and swung myself inside Bella’s room, making her gasp in shock. We stared at each other in silence before I broke it.
“Look, I’m sorry.” I apologized, walking up to my best friend.
   Bella placed her hand on my abdomen, rubbing the muscles. She was quiet for a few seconds before speaking, “For what?”
“I wish I could explain, but I literally can’t.” I sighed, walking around her. I know Sam told me not to tell Bella our secret, but he didn’t say I couldn’t give her a hint. “Have you ever had a secret you couldn’t tell anyone? A secret that wasn’t yours to share?”
   She stared at me, hugging herself as I sat on her bed. “What’s going on, Jacob?”
“Well, that’s what it’s like,” I replied, rubbing my hands together. “But it’s worse. You have no idea how tight I’m bound.”
“I hate this, Jacob. I hate what they’ve done to you.” Bella expressed, placing her hand on my head.
   I brought her hand down and stared at the bite mark on her wrist. Her heart relaxed as she covered it with her free hand. 
“The killer part is you already know.” I bitterly growled, standing to my feet. “Do you remember when we walked on the beach in LaPush, Bella?”
“What are you talking about? You mean the story of the cold ones?” Bella asked, staring at me.
“Of course that’s the only part you know.” I scoffed, shaking my head. Her eyes held realization, and I knew she got it.
   I walked past her to the window, preparing to make my exit.
“I mean, there has to be something you can do.” She proposed, nodding approvingly.
“There’s nothing. I’m in it for life.” I replied, turning toward her.
“Well, what if we just leave here for a while? We leave. You and me.” Bella suggested, placing her hands on her hips.
“You’d do that for me?” I questioned, arching an eyebrow.
   There was a pause as Bella shifted on her feet before she spoke, “I would do it for you.”
“Look, Bella, this is not something I can run away from. I would run if I could, but I can’t.” I mumbled, shaking my head.
“Look, Ja-I should probably get going.” I interrupted her before she could say anything. The look on Bella’s face made my heart ache. I didn’t like lying to her, so I chose to talk to her. “Come here.” I pulled her into a hug and held her.
“Jake.” She whispered, hugging me tighter.
“Please,” I whispered, rubbing her shoulder with my thumb. “Try to remember. It would be so much easier if you knew.”
   Pulling away, I turned to the window. “I’ll try, but—Jake, what are you doing? Wait, Jake!”
   I didn’t spare her a second glance as I leaped out of the window and ran home. In my mind, I knew Sam would have my head on a pike, but I didn’t care.

I came across yet another one of those "yeah the ic all did horrible things but Nesta's the worst" asks and in the middle of it the anon subtly let this slip about Nessia, "it almost seemed like she was the dominant one in the relationship". And that is the real problem. Nesta is a problem because she is the one with the upper hand in her interactions, whoever it might be with, which includes their Lord and Savior Rhysand and his Loveliest, Kindest, Most Cunning Mate
She tends to expose how uncool they are simply by existing.
Literally Nesta

Hope im not to bold to ask, but when sjm says Az is “a freak but in a good way” about his bedroom habits what are you thinking she means by this? Because everyone has a different line they draw with sexual behavior for what is “freaky” or “good vs. bad” - i have my own interpretation, but im left confused with sjms vision on this based on what she has written so far.
Of course there's been quite a lot of discussion of what she meant when she said it. We don't know.
I personally find SJM incredibly vanilla so I can't even imagine what she means by 'freak'. Let's face it, the woman can't even write a 3some or anal or even a simple sex toy or interesting location sex scene.
She'll mention things in passing, such as bat boys having sex in the same room, or the Nessia+Az 3some (ain't nobody needed that, but just making a point), or the Mor/Helion/Cassian/Azriel thing, or flight sex, or the birchin...and then never, ever deviates from the most basic acts.
So I think most people assume some kind of dom/maybe shadow bondage/maybe light knife play for Azriel, but I don't even think it will go that far. Seeing the backlash to JLA's latest offering, I think SJM will make Azriel as boring AF, and he'll just pine after Elain, so not to rock the boat. He'll make him another Rhys. :(
If you want a freaky Az, you need to go to fanfics.

Si intende con fase orale, il periodo che va, circa, dalla tredicesima settimana di gestazione fino ai 24-36 mesi del bambino. Il padre della psicoanalisi, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), ha definito questa fase “orale” (dalla parola latina os-oris-bocca) proprio perché il ruolo della bocca è centrale: sarà la parte del corpo che il bimbo utilizzerà per molti mesi, con lo scopo di scoprire l’ambiente intorno a lui, per esplorarlo e come fonte di gran piacere. Come ne parlano anche le due autrici, la terapeuta familiare Nessia Laniado e la psicologa Silvia Veggetti Finzi, la bocca è la parte più sensibile del corpo, con essa il bambino molto piccolo, partendo appunto dalla pancia della mamma, e subito dopo alla nascita, si apre al mondo e fa esperienza sulle percezioni, capisce intorno a sé cosa vive e impara da queste piccole prime preziose sensazioni, nonostante non parli e non cammini ancora. Già dall’ecografia della tredicesima settimana di gestazione, lo si vede con il ditino in bocca, intento a succhiare il pollice, a dimostrazione di come questa azione sia un riflesso naturalissimo e un impulso di cui non può fare a meno, perché insito nel DNA e atto puramente fisiologico e necessario.

Dani Iris Atwell is the DNA creation by Henry Atwell by using his son , Gidieon’s, DNA and that of a random woman. Thus making Gideon a father to a young daughter. Named after Dani from Hocus Pocus and Iris for the Goo Goo Dolls song, Gideon was well informed of the intention of this child : Modify and train just like he had been. 
At first there was no objections, after all he had no choice. That was until Dani wasn’t taking to the modifications or the training and Henry decided to simply ‘dispose’ of her. When it hit Gideon’s ears the fate of his child he wouldn’t and couldn’t have it. With the help of one of the doctors within the facility, Gideon was able to get the girl ( who at the time was nothing more than a number ) out and to safety. Henry in the end didn’t care about the girl as she was nothing to him allowing what he thought was just the retiring medical professional wanting to raise a child. Why would he care? She was a failure of an experiment.  He had no idea of Gideon’s attachment to the child. 
While it’s hard to raise her while on the run, Gideon made sure to always keep in touch and she knows her father as just that - her father. She also knows about the life she was doomed to live and the life he lives now ; he keeps nothing from her. It’s better to know, he thinks, than to let her live in a shroud of mystery. It always ends badly when someone else doesn’t know the possible dangers. 
He keeps in touch with Dani through a burner phone and visits when he can. After all of Henry gets the memo that Gideon actually cares for this child it’s leverage to get him back to playing Henry’s games.  So far he’s been able to keep Dani protected ,but not even his twin sister knows of her existence. 
Dani , despite knowing how she was born and her intention is living life like a normal girl would. She spends her weekends with her friends, she attends school and is active in sports and music. With her caretaker, Nessia, she is well looked after. She is a straight A student and speaks three languages. Even though she hadn’t managed to gain the mutation and such her father did - she does have intelligence and can keep information stored easily, but it isn’t photographic memory. 
Despite their distance, Dani is also very much a daddy’s girl who enjoys the time they do get to spend with each other.
