I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 204

“Oh, I missed your cooking, Zaia! That is I presume you will be cooking!”

“Yes, I will be,” I say, smiling softly.

She was always a good mother-in-law.

I can’t wait to cook for Bastien.

“Alright, tell your driver to wait in the car around the bed on the left. I will come to the car, but first I need to get some presents! I’m finally meeting my grandchildren! Goddess! I am so excited!”

“Well, I’ll see you soon then,” I say to the very excited woman, who no longer sounds tired, chuckling as I hang up.

“So congratulations on the good news,” Valerie says as I step into the lounge. She isn’t in here, but there’s a door on the far side that stands open and I can tell she’s got her things pretty much fully set up.

“Thanks. So how have you and the kiddies been, and where are they?” I ask, taking off my jacket.

“Over here.” She says, motioning inside the room.

I cross the room and peep into the lab to see them playing on the floor with coloured foam.

Once again, they are mumbling incoherently in a language that sounds like French, but it isn’t. The strangest thing is they seem to be conversing with one another, although they aren’t making sense.

Hmm, I might need to switch to Spanish next!

“Mommy! Look what Aunty Velly gave us!” Sia says patting the foam.

“Aunty Velly?” I raise an eyebrow as I go over to her.

Valerie chuckles. “It’s unique. I just hope Jai doesn’t hear it.”

“That it is.” I smile. “How exciting!” I add to the children, giving them both a hug and kiss and prod the foam."

Valerie turns in her chair as she removes her gloves.

“I was just checking the blood samples, but I’m going to continue when I have a few more things I need.”

“Sounds good. Do you think you’ll be able to?” I ask in French.

She nods. “I think so, and I will find a way.” She reassures me.

Standing up, I nod. “Well children, your daddy will be back today, so Mommy is going to go cook some delicious food, ok? So will be good for Aunty Velly?” I can’t help but giggle at that, and Valerie gives me a look.

“Do you need help? I mean, I’m no cook, but I can chop things?” Valerie offers.

I smirk. “No, thank you, my dear Velly, the Smelly, I’ll manage,” I whisper before I rush from the room, leaving her staring wide-eyed at me.

“Zaia! Oh, girl, I’m coming for you!” She shouts as I burst out laughing.

“Got to catch me first.” I taunt as I enter the kitchen.

I feel light… It’s been so many days since I’ve felt this happy and serene…

Valerie is better. We are all together and Sebastian will be home soon!

“Oh, I will!” She calls, amusement clear in her voice.

Yes, you will, because you, my girl, are a fighter.

I wash my hands and roll up my sleeves, ready to prepare for Sebastian’s return…
