Exton

After Mortuis leaves, Rowan gets settled in the guest room, tired but happy with the day. She includes the new arrivals in her prayers and an extra one for Tara, knowing Alise would be crushed if the little girl had to go to the hospital. Hopefully we can take care of anything that comes up here....

Star curls up by the fire with her sketch pad, day dreaming about Erik and wondering where Wolf was. She knows Wolf wont come to the cottage until he feels that Alise isnt afraid of him.

And Raina gets ready to go back to the tavern for the night. She visits with Star for a few minutes and then tells her she will bring Erik over tomorrow and asks her to call if anyone needs anything.

As the cottage settles into quietness, Alise and Stoney lay with the babies between them. Stoney reaches over and touches Alises cheek. “Mon amour, you should sleep. You look so tired...” His concern for her evident in his voice and his touch.

“As silly as it sounds I am afraid to go to sleep. What if I wake up and this has all been a dream? What if I wake up and find myself still spirit, floating around behind your stage just to be close to you?” Just then Tara stretches a bit and opens her eyes. Her gaze searching for her mothers face. Alise whispers to her in French and Tomas opens his sleepy eyes and looks at her and Stoney but then closes them again. Alise laughs, “Ignoring us already, little man?”
