The Council Chapter 57. Jara

Jara

When we finally emerged from our room, I feel better. I still have sadness in my heart, but it’s healing and it’s time for me to start acting like the Luna that I am.

My first order of business was to call Mignon.

I video call her, happy to see her face when she picks up.

“Jara!”

“Hey Mignon. How are you. I hear you have a sweet little girl that I need to meet.”

Her smile widens and she looks over her shoulder. It looks like she’s in her bedroom. She turns back, narrowing her eyes at me.

“How are you? I wanted to come visit, but Mason didn’t think it was a good idea.”

“Mason was right, but I’m starting to feel better now. So, do I get to meet your little one?”

Her smile lights up her whole face. “Yes.”

She turns. “Ash, bring Gianna over so Jara can meet her.”

A moment later, I see Asher’s strong arms and inside of them is a small baby. The baby probably isn’t as small as she looks, but Asher is huge, and dwarfs his little girl.

“Hey Luna, how are you doing?” He asks me as he leans down.

“I’m good, Asher. Thank you. So, this little one is named Gianna?” I ask.

“Yes. Asher said since she looked like him that I could name her.” Mignon says, leaning her face against Asher’s arm, looking at her daughter with a look of total love and adoration.

THE GUchers.

“Yeah, no mistaking that light brown hair as yours.” I say to her. Mignon‘ s hair is a rich dark brown and their daughter’s is the light curly brown of Asher’s.

“I think she got his green eyes too.” Mignon pouts.

“Then we’ll just have to have another one that looks like you, Baby Girl.” Asher says, kissing Mignon’s temple.

She blushes. “Okay.”
