"Mommy? You okay?"
.
"I'm okay baby."
Whisper took a deep breath.
"We had no idea.
Angelita. Deark. They somehow snuck through."
Whisper was shaking her head.
"Not one of us even noticed. I guess it was just supposed to be."
.
"Well, at least, in the long run, things did work out."
.
"Well," Whisper sighed.
"Things happened as they were supposed to happen."
A tear came to her eye.
"But a lot of good people suffered because of it."
.
"Mommy, I am sorry."
Serenity jumped up and went to her mother, hugging her.
"I didn't mean to bring back bad memories."
.
Whisper kissed her cheek.
"The memories are not that old, baby, butttttt ...
things did work out and now."
.
Serenity kissed her mother on the forehead.
"Now, we are all together and there is peace, Mommy."
.
Whisper shrugged.
"A little boring at times, but ...
so beautiful."
.
"Exactly my point," Serenity chirped, excitedly.
"It does tend to get a little boring at times, especially for us that are younger."
.
Whisper rolled her eyes.
"So, it is okay for us old timers, eh?"
.
Serenity sat down and took her mother's hands in hers.
"That is not what I meant, Mommy."
.
Whisper patted her daughter's hands.
"I know, baby."
.
"But ...
I never went to school, Mom.
I never did anything that a normal teenage girl would do and ...
well."
.
"You want to experience some of those things before you get married?"
.
Serenity nodded.
"Its not that I don't love Skye, because I do, but I just feel ..."
.
"You aren't ready to get married."
.
Serenity took a deep breath.
"No, not yet.
I still want to marry Skye and I will marry him. I feel that deep in my heart, like you must have always felt for Daddy, but ..."
