The Luna Legacy - Genesis

CHAPTER 51 TRUCE TO THE FAMILY

Noah took me out of the water and walked home with me in his arms and as expected, the kids were inconsolable. I held them trying to comfort them and apologizing, while Noah just stood there watching the three of u, both worry, and relief written on his face.

Eventually the kids stopped crying but they still cling to me not wanting to let me go. Noah comes over to us and put his hand and my shoulder and says in a low voice "you need to get out these wet clothes before you get sick".

Noah ran me a warm bath, I stripped, got in then lay back, close my eyes, relaxed, and I have never felt more at peace. I don't know how long I was there for, but I felt like I was being watched. When I open my eye to see Noah was standing at the bathroom door watching me with an intense, worried look on his face. As I turn to look at him, he walks away and my heart breaks, he is pissed.

After my bath I went to Abby's room, and she wasn't in her bed I went to Tom's room, and I find her there reading Tom a book. I walk over and I sit beside her, and I say, "I'm sorry you guys I didn't mean to put you through this ok."

Abby looks at me then back at the book but doesn't respond, she continues to ignore me throughout the entire time I was in the room. Tom on the other hand got out of bed and comes into my arms. I sit there with them, not saying another word, just listening to Abby read.

When Abby was done reading, she got up and told Tom to get in bed because he has school in the morning. She tucks Tom into bed and says to me dryly "goodnight, Taylor "then walks out the room. I tell Tom good night then ruffle his hair and kiss his forehead, and I say, "are you ok sweetie?"

Then he says "Abby says she's worried and I'm sacred that the water will hurt you. I don't want to lose you and not get to see you like mommy."

"Oh, bud, I won't let the water hurt me. I will never let anything take me away from you and Abby, ok?" I say, he nods, and I kiss his forehead and tell him goodnight. I have at least one person in this house that is cutting me any slack.

Tom, he has forgiven me, but Abby isn't quite there yet. Abby and Noah are mad at me, and I can't say that I blame them.

It's almost one in the morning and Noah hasn't come to bed yet. I know he was avoiding me and that he is still very much furious. After lying in bed restless and unable to sleep I decided to go to his office, knock the door, and he says, "come in Taylor"

I open the door and see him looking at the two large monitors on his desk. As I enter the office, he lifts his head and stare at me with his mouth in a grim line waiting for me to say something. "Are you coming to bed soon?" I asked

"When I'm done here, Taylor, I'm working"

"I'll wait up for you then" I say then I turn to leave not sure what else to say.

As I open the door to leave, he says, "don't wait up I don't know what time I will finish here". I turn to look at him, but his head was down, and he wasn't looking at me anymore.

I wake up this morning early, immediately I realized Noah did come to bed at all, his side of the bed was still made. Went to his office thinking he might have slept their but he wasn't there, the gym the pool, no sign of him.

He must be out running; I will stay up and wait for him until he gets back. A cup of coffee is what I need to take the edge off before he gets home. Chaplin, our chef is making breakfast when I get to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Chaplin, what time did Mr. Draccon go running this morning"?

"Ms. Cambridge good morning, Ma'am. I'm afraid Draccon has left for work already."
