I have named Thane Ashleigh as her athair. He chuckled. That should surprise him.
At the end of the table, Thane gasped, and wept at the declaration.
Violet wiped her eyes. This is too hard! Knowing that she will barely remember us is breaking me. All I ever wanted in life was to be her momma. I wish I could see her one last time.
Quietly she began to weep as Eamon held her close and spoke a prayer.
Dear gods, please let her remember us and how we loved her. How everything we did was to keep her safe, to ensure she had a future, even keeping her existence a secret.
Violet sat up and gasped.
Eamon.
What is it, my love?
I can see something.
He placed his fingers over her heart and his light shone brighter.
It's my brothers and my queen. Gods, even Thane, Cristo and young Stefan are there.
"Kendrick?" Meryn asked, in a wobbly voice.
Kendrick covered his mouth with a shaking hand. "I think your mother is having a premonition of this exact moment, of us watching the sphere."
Eamon gasped. Is that my baby girl? Meryn, is that you?
Meryn nodded, hiccuping as she wept softly. "Yes, Daddy, it's me."
Oh Eamon! Look! She's pregnant! We did it! We really did it! She made it! Violet's joy made her beautiful features shine that much more.
That's Aiden McKenzie, the Unit Commander, unless I'm mistaken.
"No sir, I am Aiden McKenzie. You have given me the most precious gift in the world. I will fill every second of her life with happiness and she will want for nothing," he promised, his voice cracking. He held on to Meryn tightly.
Damn right I have and you better keep her safe too.
"I swear to you on my life, I will always keep her safe," Aiden vowed.
Violet reached out a hand as if to touch Meryn. Meryn extended her hand toward the sphere.
Darling, we love you so much. We're so sorry to leave you all alone.
Eamon reached out as well.
My Meryn, my little Merriment.
Violet laughed and pointed.
Look, she's wearing a shirt with that ridiculous box on it from that TV show you watch with her.
I knew she liked it!
Violet turned back to the sphere.
Were you happy my little love? Did Brennus and Doran raise you well?
Izzy saw just a second of hesitation before Meryn beamed up at her parents. "I couldn't have asked for a happier childhood. You don't have a thing to worry about, they didn't spoil me too badly." Meryn turned and pulled Ryuu toward her. "I have so many people who take care of me. Ryuu is my squire, he feeds me awesome food." Ryuu nearly bowed in half at his charge's parents. Meryn lifted the hand that still clasped Amelia's tight. "Momma, look! This is Amelia, she's my big sister-cousin, Lily's daughter, she's mated to Darian!" She looked down. "Felix do your thing," she begged. Felix fumbled with his necklace and rotated the stone. "I even have Felix to watch over me."
