Wings

Chapter 17

The talk was a great success. King David and Queen Victoria heartily welcomed Olivia and her friends as official new residents. Olivia's story was a complete truth, and the friends were happy to reach their destination and be allowed to stay. Finally, they were safe. It had to be like this ... right? Was this the end of the story?

After the conversation, David led Olivia and her friends to the guest rooms he had with his wife, Victoria. Everyone was given separate rooms. Snow would stay with Olivia, who was still in her kangaroo bag. After Olivia closed the door, she first took off her backpack and put it on the chair that stood nearby. Then she carefully lifted Snow from her kangaroo coat pocket and set her on the floor. Before David left, he also said he was going to get Olivia later. But why? He hadn't told her that.

Snow, who was happy to be out of the kangaroo bag, stretched herself before going to bed and jumped on it. She sat up and looked at Olivia. "What happens now?"

"We're going to get some sleep. I'm sure James and Jessie will too."

Snow nodded and lay down. Olivia opened her backpack and unwrapped her pajamas, and then she changed into one before going to sleep in bed. She got under the sheets and yawned. She petted Snow first briefly before lying on her stomach and quickly falling asleep.

There was a soft knock at the door and that woke Olivia up quickly. Snow also woke up immediately since she was a light sleeper. Olivia got out of her bed and opened the door. There was the king. The girl with wings felt some panic and made a small bow.

King David laughed a little and put his hand on Olivia's shoulder. "No bowing when we are not in public. Put your clothes on. I have a surprise for you."

Olivia nodded and said her goodbyes respectfully to the king before closing the door. Snow stood up and stretched before sitting back down. "I'm not going with you because I'm still tired. Is that okay with you?"

Olivia raised her thumb and quickly put on her clothes before waving to Snow and leaving her guest room. She gently closed the door and went to the living room, where David was sitting on the couch.

"Did you sleep well?"

Olivia nodded and before she and the king could leave for that surprise, suddenly 2 giggling children came running toward David.

"Daddy!" cried one of the children and jumped into David's arms.

Olivia looked full of surprise at the 2 children and the king. The girl with wings began to look more closely at the children. A boy around the age of 7 seemed to be the oldest. His hair had some color in it from David's hair and there was also some orange in it just like Queen Victoria's. The last child, who was in David's arms, was a girl around the age of 6. Her hair was the same color just like David's, just a shade lighter, and it was also curly. Her eyes were blue just like Victoria's.

They were David's and Victoria's children.

David smiled and held his baby daughter in his arms. He had a happy expression on his face. He held his baby daughter around one arm and held his son's hand in his. The children looked happily at their father. Olivia smiled because that heartwarming scene was for her. She thought children were cute.

David looked at her. "Olivia, these are my children, Lucas and Sofie."

Olivia smiled kindly, which was full of warmth, and waved to them. "Hello."

David carefully put Sofie back on the floor and the girl walked toward Olivia with a beautiful smile on her face. "Wow! You are beautiful! How big your wings are! Can I touch them? Please?"
