Myka was just about to continue reading when she noticed Helena had walked into the library. She could have continue reading to Aidan but awkward reading the Victorian woman's novels out loud while she was in the room. Carefully closing the book she let it fall down into her lap and shifted Aidan so that she could use both arms to hold him. Although the moment that she moved him he began to whimper until it turned into a full blown cry. It took a couple of minutes to settle him down again but when she did, Myka turned to look at Helena.
Since the Victorian woman had been returned by the Seal they hadn't spoken all that much. There had been the holiday where they were all together but one on one talking had been absent. And if she really thought about it they hadn't done much of that since her own arrival in Lawrence. Sure she had avoided discussing anything at first, still angry with the way things were in the time she'd arrived from, but they'd barely broken through that. Since she'd been back Helena had been spending more time with Emily. Myka didn't blame her for doing so. When Helena had left Emily had grown quiet and then events had happened where Myka hadn't acted in Emily's best interests. Though she only knew the barest bones of how Emily came to be, the girl was still a toddler and the way she'd acted had only been harmful. Myka at least accepted that now; though at the time, she'd gotten quite angry with Svetlana over the whole situation.
When the last of Aidan's slight whimpers were silenced and he was completely asleep against her, Myka quietly spoke. "How's Emily?" There were so many things that Myka wished to know now that the baby had been born. Helena had made her a promise to tell her everything sometime after the birth. But first they needed to find a familiarity between them again. The two women had changed and there were times where it was awkward between them. Perhaps that was why their interactions were generally quick and fleeting in their occurrence. But Myka was a mother now and at the very least the two women who knew each other so well at one point in time could find familiarity there.
