The other most pressing matter on her mind was Emily. Reforming the bond between them was also slow going. Helena was very different than she had been before. She was more focused, more centered emotionally, but she was different enough where Emily sensed it and was troubled by it. It hurt Helena, but she knew it would take time. That was one reason she'd moved Emily's things into her room so they could be close at all times. Helena needed to reassure Emily that she wasn't leaving again and that she was here for her. Emily seemed to be adjusting, she would calm down easier for Helena now, but there were still bumps and snags along the way. As was evidenced that evening when Helena went to put her down for a nap, and Emily refused. Finally, after about an hour, Emily did finally fall asleep and Helena placed her in the crib and covered her up. Turning on the baby monitors and taking one with her, she headed downstairs.
Helena went into the library with the intention of getting a couple books to sit with. Though as she walked in, she heard the excerpt Myka was reading, and it was one Helena knew all too well. She looked over at Myka and Aidan, a little smile curving her lips at the sight. Though she didn't say anything, not wanting to disturb Aidan. She knew all too well how fussy children could be.
