Some transplant patients experience darker skin for a while, but it's only temporary.

"Oh!" Little Nina didn't understand the medical talk, but she said earnestly, "As long as Mom is healthy and doesn't get sick, it doesn't matter if she has a few dark spots! In my heart, Mom will always be the most beautiful."

Briony was moved. She reached out to gently touch her daughter's round, cherubic cheek. "You're such a sweet girl, Nina."

"Mom." Little Mario tugged on Briony's finger.

Briony looked down at her son, ruffling his hair. "Mario, Mommy's home."

Mario's brows knitted in worry. "Mom, does it hurt?"

Briony smiled, her eyes growing misty. "It doesn't hurt, sweetheart. When I think of you and Nina, nothing hurts at all."

Little Mario stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you, Mom."

He wasn't one for words; just those three simple little words were enough to bring tears to Briony's eyes.

Stewart set Mario down.

Nina rushed over too, throwing her arms around Briony.

Briony gathered both children into her embrace, pressing kisses to the tops of their heads.
