Eternally Yours

Little One

"This is so good! What is it from Name?" Sarah asked as yousmiled taking a napkin to wipe her face gently.

"It's from (where it is from), I grew up on it when I was yourage." You explained and she smiled at you and giggled.

"Really? What was it like when you were 97?" She asked and youfroze up pulling away to look at the sweet little girl confused.

"Ninety...ninety seven?" You questioned as she nodded humming andJason leaned over to press a kiss to your temple.

"Keep calm Name, we'll explain it later." He promised and younodded just slightly, enough that he could feel your head moveagainst his lips and you smiled at Sarah.

"Oh to be 97 again, I remember still playing mud ball back then."Lily started giggling and distracted Sarah easily, which you weregrateful for.

After you had eaten you smiled as she hugged you, crouching down toher level you patted her head and smiled. "Mama probably wants mehome to help with Sammy." She said with a pout, "she's my littlesister." She explained and you watched as she hugged her doll,"will I get to talk to you again Name?" She asked and your heartjust melted for her and nodded.

"Of course, I'm sure you will have things to do, playing and havingfun and being with your little sister. But if you ever need to talkto me or anything I'll make sure there is time for you, okay?" Youasked and she grinned before skipping away happily.

"Youhave quiet the magical touch with children, love." Lily soundedsurprised as you got up, Jason stepping foreword to help you eventhough you didn't need it and you brushed off any dirt from yourknees. "It took her parents a long time to get it out, she justopened up to you." Lily explained and you shrugged.

"I just...let her relax around me," you couldn't explain it, youasked if she was okay but tried your best not to press.

"You really do have the magic touch with children." Jasoncomplimented causing you to blush.

"No, I don't think so," you disagreed, "I think she just wantedto get it off her chest. I was just in the right place at the righttime." He shook his head and Lily came forward to kiss yourforehead.

"Don't be so modest, darling!" She cooed and giggling took yourhand. "Maybe we can plan a nice moonlit date of dinner just us in apicnic another day?" She offered and smiled as you nodded.

"You would make a great mother though Name, truly." Jason seemedstill stuck on this and you blushed shaking your head at him.

"But, still, 97? I'm so confused." You shook your head and theychuckled.

"I know it is very different Name." Jason took your hand, "youhave to realize that children are born of the soul fragments of twopeople. Once they are born they grow very slowly compared to humans,it will take a good twenty years to age up maybe one." He explainedand sighed offering his arm which you threaded through yours and Lilytook your other arm resting against yours as he began walking out ofthe room. "Would you like to go back to the garden or our room?"He asked and you liked the idea of going out to the garden but reallyyou kind of wanted to just cuddle like you normally would.
