„GOOD MORNING!" AMYBELLA
greeted her two favorite men in the whole wide world and saw Gilbert holding Delphine in his arms.

"Hi sweetie!" The little girl grabbed Bells's finger and wouldn't let go of it. You'd have thought she looked exactly like Mary.
Amybella looked at Bash, who was just staring ahead. She stood behind him and put a hand on his shoulder. It was a few weeks after Mary's funeral and Bash had fallen into a numb state. He barely ate, barely talked. All he did was caring for Delphine or working.

"Bash.. cry! Scream! Shout! But don't let this awful situation turn you cold." The girl said and Bash looked up at her.

Bella was about to regret her words, when he stood up and looked down at her for a while. Without any words he then walked past her and out the door. Bella swallowed hard because his look really intimidated her.

Everyone was trying to get over Mary's death and move on with their lives but Bash didn't. It seemed like he didn't even try.
She was the love of his life. You'd think she was his sunshine and the might was now taken from him.

"Time for a little nap." Gilbert said, laying Delphine down in her crib. He grinned and played with her little hands.

"Look at that." he smiled towards Bella, who had been looking out the window after Bash until just now. She came over to him and smiled.

"Yeah." She grinned at the baby and her smile was just so heart-melting. Then she looked to Gilbert but he was already staring at her.

„Do you ever want to have children?" Bella asked him. Gilbert slightly furrowed a brow.

„I don't know.." he answered, looking back at Delphine.

"Maybe." He smiled and turned back to Bella.

This little family she built made her happy. Gilbert, Bash, Delphine and Anne had truly become the world to her. They made her feel loved in a way that she had only experienced from her father and mother before he died.

Amybella then told Gilbert about her visit to the Mi'kmaq tribe.

"It's not fair," she concluded and Gilbert nodded in thought, but she knew the brown curly-haired boy was listening to her anyway. There was a knock at the door as Bella recognized Anne.

"Oh so late already? Gilbert, have you seen my hairband? I think it's here." She ran into the kitchen.

"It's on the bedside table in my room." She heard Gilbert say and turned around smiling.

„Why is it on your bedroom table?" she asked. Gilbert grinned mischievously.

„So I won't miss you when you're away." he said and caused Bella to giggle. He would do anything to see the girl laugh.

"I'll see you in school!" She said when she had grabbed her hairband and walked out to Anne. They rode off to the train station.

"Anne! Bella!" Ka'kwet smiled as they tied up their horses.
