Chapter fifteen

Six months passed and I had yet to leave Jade with anyone beyond Gavin’s parents, and then only when I had to. She was growing fast, becoming more smart and beautiful by the day. Her dark hair had come in with thick beautiful curls and her eyes were the same blue as Gavin’s. She looked just like him and when she smiled, you could see all her teeth, which as of the six month mark consisted of two up top and two below.

I hadn’t left the house without her except to go to the blood den to feed, and only when necessary. I was still nursing but not as much so my need for blood had begun to return to a more normal level.

Sitting nervously at the kitchen table I was holding Jade on my lap as she cooed and gurgled. Today was the day everyone else had been looking forward to, but that Gavin, Alex and I were dreading. Ian’s exhumation. I was jealous of Duncan who wasn’t part of our family officially and didn’t have to be there. I’d have given anything to skip it.

Everyone else was meeting us there. I glanced up at him and we all exchanged a look. “Ready as I’ll ever be I guess.”

I surmised that Leiv couldn’t possibly have known what was going on because he was totally at ease, unlike the three of us. I kissed Jade goodbye and Ryan too, hoping to be back here sooner rather than later. It occurred to me that I was being selfish. Everyone else was in for a shock and it would be my job to comfort them when they realized Ian wasn’t going to be coming out of the ground.

Arriving at the burial spot we greeted a smiling Holly along with Margie and John, who were also in a jovial mood. “It’s wonderful isn’t it? By this time tomorrow hopefully I’ll be able to talk to him. I can’t wait to see him. I have a lot of things to say. It’s been hard to focus on anything else.”

Kenzie smiled, putting his arm around his wife, who was very much showing off her baby bump, and said. “Are you
