Epilogue
Leska finished herlast day at work before maternity leave. The holidays were also upon them, and Z-Corp was breaking into different department parties.
An in-house courier brought her a huge basket with a smile. “I guess someone missed the baby shower.”
“I suppose. Vinul is going to have to carry this for me.” She laughed and looked for the card.
She found the card and blinked.Wishing you the best, them the best, and her the best. Happy holidays.
Leska stared. The card was written in Uraddan with a little dragon drawn in one corner.
She looked at the courier, who was just leaving the office. “Do you know who put that in there?”
“No. I can check the surveillance if you want.”
“Please. I need to know who sent this.”
There was a nod, and the courier called it in to security.
Leska slowly opened the wrap around the basket, and the scent of chocolate and honey came out, but there was a stack of baby quilts, larger toddler quilts, onesies of varying sizes, and dozens of tiny socks. All of it was super soft and wonderful to touch. There wasn’t one rough edge in the whole pile, and it was all in gorgeous gem tones. Leska sniffled and wiped her cheeks as she took in the handmade grouping.
At the bottom of the basket was the item that made her sit down. It was a tiny t-shirt that was printed on both sides.Gorgeous like my momwas on one side, andBrilliant like my auntiewas on the other.
She made a call and looked at Tirra. “Did you send me a bundle of baby stuff?”
“No. I gave my present at the shower. Why?”
“Does that the seer friend of yours still see you having two sisters?”
Tirra nodded in excitement. “Why?”
“Because she just sent me interoffice mail. She’s here.”
Tirra blinked. “Who is she?”
Leska rubbed her agitated belly. “Security is trying to find out who put the present on the cart.”
“So, when will we know?”
