Chapter 146 : Reunion

*Lena*

Abigail had spent the last two hours bossing me and Elaine around as we snipped roses in the front garden, filling heaping baskets of roses and whatever other blooms we could find in the garden. Elaine gave me a look as Abigail slowly went through each basket, pulling out what she must have thought were prized flowers based on the judging look on her face, and placing them in clear vases of water and some special solution to keep them full and perky until the wedding reception.

My fingers were raw and shriveled from wearing gardening gloves all afternoon. I tossed the gloves on the bistro table in the sunroom and unstrapped the baby carrier from my chest, lifting Alexis out of her cozy nap spot that had left my shirt damp with sweat. Alexis’s legs were still reflexively tucked into her stomach, her little fingers curling into fists as she blinked into the soft sun filtering through the windows and grimaced.

“Oh, goodness gracious,” I cooed, patting her on the back as I comforted her against my shoulder. When she started to try to suckle on the strap of my tank top, I promptly sat down and gave her what she was truly looking for.

“She is so freaking cute,” Elaine grinned as she sat opposite me at the table overlooking the front garden. All of the windows were open, but there was no cool breeze to be had. It was absolutely stifling today.

I reached up to wipe a bead of sweat from my brow, wanting nothing more than a cool shower and maybe something iced to drink. As if I’d summoned her, a maid walked in carrying a tray of cookies, sandwiches, and a giant glass pitcher of lemonade full of ice and fresh lemons, the glass frosted and cool to the touch.

All three of us sighed with relief and thanked her profusely as the maid set the tray on the table.

“Luna Hanna wanted me to let you know that she can take Princess Alexis for a while if you need free hands,” the maid said sweetly as she poured me a glass of lemonade.

I looked down at Alexis, who was staring up at me with a skeptical expression on her face. She’d finally started waking up a bit over the last few days, giving Xander and me our first real clue about her eye color. They were fading from a deep navy black to a pale blue, like my father’s.

She stopped nursing, her mouth trembling for a moment as I gently stroked her perfectly round cheeks with my finger.

“What do you say? Do you want to go see your grandma?”

Alexis unlatched, her eyes still firmly fixed on mine, looking at me like she just noticed I was more than just a pair of boobs.

I nuzzled her cheek, burped her, and kissed her on the forehead before handing her to the maid, who cradled Alexis in her arms and cooed as she turned to leave the sunroom, her hips swaying as she rocked Alexis.

“She looks just like Xander to me,” Elaine said as she poured herself a huge glass of lemonade, then one for Abigail, who was still busy preparing the roses. “It’s the hair. I can’t believe she was born with all of that!”

“Dad told me it’s going to fall out,” I playfully pouted, crossing my fingers under the table in an attempt to stop that from happening.

“It’s perfectly normal,” Abigail clipped, giving me a smug glance. “What color was your hair when you were born, Lena?”

“White. Whiter than it is now, actually,” I replied, popping a piece of ice into my mouth and holding it there. Goddess, it was hotter than hell. There was a fan in the sunroom, but it seemed to just be blowing hot air all over us instead of keeping the room cool.

“You were born with your hair like this?” Elaine gasped, furrowing her brow. “I thought only a White Queen who summoned the power of the Goddess had white hair. It’s like a rite of passage–”
