Eulia and her sisters Phoebe and Jo boarded the train in Beaconsfield along with their husbands. Amanda held Rebecca's hand as they climbed aboard. "I'm going to Dexter to visit my grandma," Rebecca chatted with the conductor. "My Sissy's are all going to have babies, I'm going to be an a big sister."
"You going to be an aunt," Amanda corrected.
The conductor looked toward Amanda with a quizzical look. She shook her head to indicate "no" as Rebecca continued speaking to the conductor, "I'm seven now and we are going to my grandmas."
"Rebecca Mae come over here and sit with me," Eulia said as she smiled fondly at the child. The conductor looked up and saw dragon riders family seated together. "Governor Henderson," he said and nodded to Jacob. Jacob nodded back and Rebecca came to sit next to Eulia and Jacob and the conductor moved on.
"Euly I still don't have an alligator!" Rebecca said sadly.
"There are plenty in the swamp, Becky," Jacob teased.
"Its not like having my own, I do have a bear."
"That's a dog," Amanda replied. Then the two of them began their usual sibling arguing.
"What do you have planned, Euly, while we visit grandma."
"Just the usual girl stuff, Jake," Eulia said softly as she looked into his eyes with a mischievous grin, "visiting the inn's, the coffee houses, the book store and," she hesitated for effect, "skinny dipping in the fountain."
"I don't know what to do with you my little hoyden!"
"It's OK boyfriend with a capitol 'B', I'm planning on keeping you."
