Chapter Fifteen

Serenity stood outside Sebastian’s front door, her heart hammering. Perhaps she was crazy for being so nervous about facing her own daughter but she couldn’t change the way she felt. Seeing Elizabeth would be the first real confirmation that she’d completely lost the last two years; Sebastian didn’t change, and ingesting those few drops of his blood had wiped out the past ten years on her face—never mind two.

Beside her, Sebastian reached down, his cool fingers lacing through her own. He squeezed her hand in reassurance. “There’s a little girl behind that door who is dying to see you.”

She took a deep breath. “I’m desperate to see her too. I’m just scared it’ll be weird, like I won’t know who she is anymore.”

“She’s exactly the same—only taller.”

Serenity turned her face up to his and kissed him. His lips pressed firm against hers. His mouth was soft and moist, and she forced herself to break away.

“Thank you,” she said.

She climbed the steps, turned the handle and pushed open the front door. Immediately, the sound of feet rushed toward them and Elizabeth rounded the corner, her dark hair flying and her eyes bright.

“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!” She slammed into Serenity’s legs and Serenity lifted her up, squeezing her tight. Elizabeth’s small arms wound around Serenity’s neck, and her soft cheek pressed against hers. “I missed you so much, Mommy.”

Serenity kissed her daughter’s hair, breathing in the scent of her shampoo. She bit back tears, trying not to think of all the things she’d missed out on.

“I missed you too, baby. I’m so sorry I’ve not been here for you.”

“It’s okay, Mommy. I know it wasn’t your fault and Sebastian took real good care of me.”

“My goodness, you got so big!” Serenity untangled Elizabeth’s arms from around her neck and set her down. “Let me look at you.”

Elizabeth stood, her hands held out either of her body, a self-conscious smile on her face. Sebastian had been right—she did look the same as she always had, only taller! Perhaps, Serenity thought, her face was a little slimmer and she’d lost some of her baby fat. Otherwise, she was still the same Elizabeth.

She became aware of another person standing in the background and she forced her attention away from her daughter. A woman in her fifties stood watching them with bright blue eyes. Her hair was as long as Serenity’s, trailing down to her hip.

Bridget.

Serenity pushed all her doubts aside and walked up to Bridget. She put her arms around the older woman and hugged her. “Thank you for looking after my baby.”

Bridget froze for a moment, taken by surprise, and then returned the embrace. “You’re more than welcome. She’s an absolute joy.”

Elizabeth grinned with pride.

Bridget peered around Serenity at Sebastian. “So everything went well, then? No problems?”

Sebastian’s gaze flicked to Serenity and the words passed between them without being spoken out loud; not in front of Elizabeth. Bridget must have picked up on the look, for her eyes darted between them and her lips thinned.
