I Am The Luna

Coming Home

ZAIA. I look in the mirror, feeling all jittery and nervous. Two and a half hours have passed, and I am all ready. I managed to have the food ready, showered myself, dressed the children, set up the welcome home banner and balloon and finally got dressed myself. I like how I look. I think so will Sebastian…

I blush again as I touch my volumised curls. I have smoky eyes and matt red lips which I have paired with a backless, long-sleeved

shimmering black dress. It reveals my legs and hugs my figure. Two glitter silver straps cross. my back and I’m wearing black heels.

I know I went all out like I’m going on a date, but this is going to be a special night and even more so since we’ll all be together. “Look at you,” Valerie teases as I walk down the steps, making me blush all over again. ”

Someone looks an absolute catch. I wonder why She’s not in her wheelchair and although she doesn’t go for too long, I like that she is walking, but I’m glad she also knows her limits. Being a doctor, she is responsible.

She’s wearing black pants and a satin blue top that has a slight plunging neckline. I pout. “It’s nothing much,” I mumble, staring at my sparkling nude nails. It is a bit much…but I wanted to dress up for him…

“It’s not much she says.” Valerie.teases, giving me a quick hug. “And what about you? You look stunning yourself!” I say, admiring her once more, just as Sia runs over.

“Thanks, Zaia, I’m still thinking of a good revenge name for you, payback for earlier – don’t think you’re off the hook!” she says, making me chuckle.

“I’ll be waiting!” I reply as we step back, and I look down at Sia in her gorgeous pastel pink dress. “Oh, wow Mommy, you look beautiful,” Sia says, cupping her cheeks. I crouch down and hug her gently. “So do you, my beautiful princess.”

“They’re here!” Valerie whispers. My heart skips a beat as Zion comes rushing out with the party poppers. “Daddy is home!”

The four of us stand there, side by side as the door opens and the two men step inside as Valerie and Zion let off the party poppers. “WELCOME HOME!” The three of them, along with Jai, shout, but I’m unable to speak.

Sebastian’s eyes are fixed on me, those piercing blue eyes meet mine, he’s obviously cleaned up, fresh trim, clean clothes consisting of smart pants and a white shirt, holding his jacket over his shoulder, his other hand in his pocket as his eyes slowly look down trailing over me.

a faint smile crosses his gorgeous features, and he crouches down, pulling them both close, a hand on the back of their heads.
