Forgetful Swan

Birthday surprise

When the door was opened, there stood...

"Didyme." Marcus whispered, almost falling to his knees.

"Hello, my love." Didyme replied with a smile on her face.

"MUMMY!! YOU CAME. I KNEW MY WISH WOULD COME TRUE." Freya said as she smiled with happiness and excitement.

Everyone looked to Freya, and then Didyme.

Didyme giggled as she walked to her soul daughter.

"I heard your call, my little flower." Didyme said, then looked to Marcus as she stopped in front of the still shocked vampires. "Can I hold our daughter to?"

Marcus snapped from his daze and sped to Didyme, wrapping her in his arms as he dried sobbed into her hair.

"I am back, my love. Our daughter is gifted." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around her mate and daughter.

Snapping out of it, Aro approached his sister, earning a protective hiss from his sister, making him stop.

"Sorry, brother." Didyme said with a smirk.

"How? What? When?" Aro said as he looked at his sister.

"Like I said. My daughter is gifted. I had tried to come back, and I did, but only because she wished it. She has a gift." Didyme said as she smiled at her daughter, who smiled back at her.

Marcus is still dry, sobbing into Didyme's hair. Freya did not understand why. She turned to him and put her hand on his cheek to make him look to her.

"Daddy. Why are you crying? Did I do a bad thing? I just wanted a mummy and she was your favourite painting so I wished for her to come back. I didn't mean to make you upset." Freya told him as her bottom lip started to wobble.

"Oh no, no, no. My dear, you did the best thing in the world. I'm really happy these are happy tears. I missed your mummy so much." Marcus said as he wiped the tear that slid from her eye.

Didyme looked to her mate and family.

"We shall talk about this later but for now." Didyme turned to Marcus. "Give me my daughter. It's my turn now. I may be your mate, but I will kick your bottom if you don't hand her over."

Marcus and the others sniggered as he did as she asked.

"That's the Didyme I know and love." He whispered.

"You're really pwitty. You're pwittier than that painting in daddies room." Freya said, making Didyme aww at her.

"Not as pretty as my little angel." Didyme booped her nose, earning a giggle. "Now I believe it is cake time, don't you?"

Freyas eyes lit up.

"Cake." She said as she locked her lips before smacking them together. Earning a laugh from the others.

"Yes, and after mummy, I will show you her favourite part of the castle. Just you, me, and Daddy. OK?" Didyme said with a smile.

"Ok, MUMMY." Freya bounced with excitement.

Aro quickly disappeared and then came back only moments later, holding a cake. When Freya saw it, her eyes went larger than cartoons.

"Wow." She said, then looked around. "Tank you. I wove it." She then looked to Aro. "Thank you, Uncle Awo."

Aro sighed and then smiled as he muttered under his breath. "It's Aro."

"Come on, Awo. We don't want it to melt the icing." His sister said with a smirk.

Aro looked to his sister and glared playfully.

"And here I thought I missed you." He said jokingly, but Freya glared at him, making him gulp.
