They ended up having a great day. The girls got treated, and dressed, like princesses and they adored the show. Noelle was just as entranced as she had been the first time around and Blue spent most of the performance watching her face light up with delight as the actors cast illusion after illusion.

They were buzzing when they got home and it took Noelle a long time to get Amelie to bed while Blue thanked their guards and locked up the house, turning the lights off. Thomas’ extension for Noelle’s bed hadn’t arrived yet, so he was tucked under the covers at her feet when Blue emerged from the shower. He was of half a mind to ask the sub to use a guest room, but he wasn’t Blue’s to boss around and he didn’t want to open that kettle of fish. The last thing he needed to do was piss Noelle off again.

Towelling off, he got all the lights and then slipped into bed, gathering her up. She mumbled something softly under her breath and he realised that she was already fast asleep. He very nearly woke her up, but guilt stopped him. He’d caused the mess they were in, however inadvertently. It wasn’t fair to deprive her of sleep when she’d spent the day running around after his children.

His children. Just thinking it scared the hell out of him all over again. He could joke and laugh around them but there was a yawning abyss of fear beneath it. What if he failed them? What if he was a terrible father? He didn’t have a lifestyle cut out to cope with children. What if he screwed them up for life? Kids were so fragile. One throwaway teasing comment on his part could traumatise their whole childhood. He didn’t know how to be a father. There wasn’t an instruction manual for being landed with a teenager, let alone a five year old.

Lisette was so grown up already, probably from her time in foster care. Being shuffled around and forced to live with strangers was bound to force her to grow up too quickly. Beneath his fear, his anger was still raging. It was worse because of the helplessness. He was so furious at Alexandra for not telling him about the girls, but however angry he was, he couldn’t take back the last decade or more of not being in their lives. He’d just have to do his best to make up for it.

Despite a restless night, he awoke before Noelle did and spent a moment admiring her in the dim glow of the morning sunlight that was filtering through the curtains. In this light her hair looked almost like a pool of blood against her pale creamy skin. He brushed a curl from her face and she stirred.

“Morning.” She mumbled sleepily.

“Morning.” He moved over her. “Are you ready for your hour to start?”

“Huh?” She blinked, not quite at the surface yet.

“I get an hour to make you beg.” He grinned and she sighed, closing her eyes again.
