A long time - I
Adeline did not know for how long she sat there with no outside the establishment where no one came out after the little boy learnt spectacle inside. She wondered how it was that all of them were staying inside and did not come to check out or come after her to get her back in until Xavier arrived to get her.
Her confidence and she remained seated at the bench as she was silent and lost in her thinking. She was pregnant and this was the new reality That she was to live with for the rest of her life that you would have a baby. Noah's presence did not seem to calm in the slightest bit so she would never compare him to how she would have felt if the saviour was here with her instead of the boy present.
She missed him, truly she did. For her, it might not have been the mate bond responsible but her own feelings.
