Chapter 38: Return to the Human World
When Serena finished her shift and got home from the hospital Flo still had the kids up. It wasn’t too late, and they were already in their pajamas. She was sitting in the living room with them, Oliver was drawing and Olivia was playing with some carved wooden wolves that Serena had never seen before.
They were being quiet and on their best behavior. Serena was impressed. Flo wasn’t even keeping a sharp eye on them. She was sitting on the couch and reading a book. Olivia and Oliver were masters at sneaking away and causing trouble when they thought no one was watching. “Are those new toys?” she asked, kneeling down by Olivia. “Flo gave them to me,” Olivia said, smiling at the Luna. “Leant them to you,” Flo corrected, leaning forward on the couch. Olivia nodded and went back to her game. “They are beautiful.” Serena said, looking at Flo. “Carved by my father and given to me to play with when I was their age,” Flo explained. “The detail is amazing,” Serena said, picking up one of the wooden carvings. The wolves had lines for fur, and each one had unique facial features. “My father was good with his hands,” Flo said.
“Did you two have fun with Flo this afternoon?” she asked. The twins nodded, but Oliver was focused on his painting and Olivia was too immersed in her game.
“We all got along just fine,” Flo assured. Serena stood up and took a seat on the couch beside Flo.
“I was thinking about having my kids stay with their grandparents in Star Seeker while I am back in the human world,” she said. “Charlotte and Thomas will look after them. “Are you sure?” Flo asked. “It would be my pleasure to watch them.” “I know it would,” Serena said. “You are so great with them, and I appreciate all your help.”
“I loved being a mother,” Flo said. “It was always my greatest regret that I never had more children.” Serena chuckled and looked at her own kids. “Perhaps your sentiment would be different if you’d had twins,” she said. Flo laughed and shook her head.
“You do amazing with them, especially without a mate,” Flo said. Serena nodded, appreciating the praise.
