I wake up to Papa and the woman from the shop staring at me as if I was crazy. I know they heard me screaming in my dream. Before they can ask why I was screaming, a baby starts to wail. The woman gets up and rocks the babe back to sleep.
"You remember Belle, and that's our youngest son Geoffry. We have two more children. Gideon is 7, and Gia was 3 yesterday, Dearie." I act as if I don't care about what papa was saying, but in truth, I do. Running and giggling, two children come in and jump up on me.
“I'm glad you're my older sister. Neal is always showing off that he has the best big sister, and now I have one too," Gideon and Gia cheer together. At this I make peace with myself. It's not their fault papa froze me in time. I smooth their hair down and soon they fall asleep in my arms.
Belle takes them back to their house. Before Papa can speak to me, I close my eyes and try to sleep.
