CAMILLA'S POV

I had experienced many terrifying things in my life, but none quite as terrifying as waking up to my daughter lying on top of me with her face dangerously close to mine. For a second, my heart skipped a beat and I thought something terrible had happened but it turned out, it was just a very overactive and over excited child who smiled up at me the moment she noticed that I was awake.

“Is this your way of trying to send me to an early grave?” I teased and she giggled. Her eyes were alight with pure mischief as she buried her face into my shoulders. With everything that had been going on, this was the first time in a while I had seen my child so happy like this and I wanted it to last.

I was going to do everything humanly possible to make sure that she remained this happy for as long as I lived. It was my duty as her mother and it was what she deserved. She had grown up so fast, the least I could do was to ensure that she got the best of what was left of her childhood.

“Where's daddy?” she asked and I looked around noting that Ryker wasn't in the room. He had been there before I fell asleep but he must have left shortly after.

I dragged myself out of bed, taking Audrey with me because she just wouldn't let me go. Aurora was still asleep and I was torn against leaving her there and actually taking her with me. On one hand, she could sleep as long as she wanted but on the other, I didn't want her to wake up and I wasn't here.

“shell be fine, mummy,” Audrey whispered in my ears. She sounded a bit impatient. “I want to see daddy and I want to see aunt Christine.”

I winced at the mention of Christine. “I don't know if your aunt is awake right now and ready to see visitors.”

Audrey snorted. “Yes, she is. Daddy is with her right now. She's very happy."

“How do you-" I caught myself in the middle of my question. How did Audrey know anything? She definitely saw it and I had gotten to that point where I didn't even bother asking anymore. If she says she saw it, then she did. She has never been wrong before and I doubted she was. going to start now.

I just lifted her a little higher so she could wrap her legs around my waist and I could carry her to Christine's room. She made no move to get down from my hold and instead wrapped her arms around my neck tighter on the way. I felt a bit weird about leaving Aurora alone so I asked one of the maids to keep an eye on her for me.
