I Am The Luna

Coming Home

ZAIA. I look in the mirror, feeling all jittery and nervous. Two and a half hours have passed, and I am all ready. I managed to have the food ready, showered myself, dressed the children, set up the welcome home banner and balloon and finally got dressed myself. I like how I look. I think so will Sebastian…

I blush again as I touch my volumised curls. I have smoky eyes and matt red lips which I have paired with a backless, long-sleeved

shimmering black dress. It reveals my legs and hugs my figure. Two glitter silver straps cross. my back and I’m wearing black heels.

I know I went all out like I’m going on a date, but this is going to be a special night and even more so since we’ll all be together. “Look at you,” Valerie teases as I walk down the steps, making me blush all over again. ”

Someone looks an absolute catch. I wonder why She’s not in her wheelchair and although she doesn’t go for too long, I like that she is walking, but I’m glad she also knows her limits. Being a doctor, she is responsible.

She’s wearing black pants and a satin blue top that has a slight plunging neckline. I pout. “It’s nothing much,” I mumble, staring at my sparkling nude nails. It is a bit much…but I wanted to dress up for him…

“It’s not much she says.” Valerie.teases, giving me a quick hug. “And what about you? You look stunning yourself!” I say, admiring her once more, just as Sia runs over.

“Thanks, Zaia, I’m still thinking of a good revenge name for you, payback for earlier – don’t think you’re off the hook!” she says, making me chuckle.

“I’ll be waiting!” I reply as we step back, and I look down at Sia in her gorgeous pastel pink dress. “Oh, wow Mommy, you look beautiful,” Sia says, cupping her cheeks. I crouch down and hug her gently. “So do you, my beautiful princess.”

My heart skips a beat as Zion comes rushing out
