Meeting Her Mother

Bernice's heart thundered with a thousand emotions. She clenched her fists to stop herself but she couldn't stop when she heard "mother" from Emma's lips. She rushed to meet Emma. She stopped right in front of her for a moment and then the two hugged each other tightly. No words exchanged between them as mother-daughter embraced, wrapping their arms tightly around each other. 

"Mother…" Emma murmured as tears dropped from her eyes and fell on Bernice's tunic. Bernice stroked her daughter's hair softly, gently, as she pressed kisses to her face. When Nephie had entered the portal, it was instantly reported to her that she had come with a girl who looked like her and a little boy. At that time, she was with the queen who was complaining to her about a clutch of three dragon eggs that hadn't hatched for nearly a hundred years.
