Chapter 47

They woke up to the sound of small fists pounding on their bedroom door and Zoe screaming, “Mommy! Daddy!”

Rachel woke up with a start and saw that Derek was already awake and he looked just as disoriented as she was.

“What’s going on?” He asked sleepily.

“Mommy! Daddy!” Zoe yelled outside.

“That’s what,” Rachel replied and dragged herself out of bed before looking for a dressing robe to cover her nakedness. “I’m coming, Sweetie,” she called out to Zoe.

When she opened the door, Zoe was standing there with her little fists raised mid-air to knock on the door again, while Elaine stood behind her, looking embarrassed.

“I am so sorry for the disturbance,” Elaine apologized quickly. “She insisted on seeing you two and has completely refused to have breakfast unless she sees you first.”

Zoe ran forward and hugged Rachel’s legs. “Mommy!” She squealed happily. “I miss you, Mommy.”
