Welcome Back, Family

Despite being the youngest, Camille was the first to react. 

She vanished from her place in Bianca's arms and reappeared at the door with her arms outstretched and her little booter-belly clearly visible. 

"My, my. Someone's been eating well I see."

Nyx lifted the young girl into her arms and smiled contentedly as if a missing piece of her life had finally been returned.

"You have gotten so, so, big... I have missed you so much that I could screa-"

Nyx's words were cut off when Malachi suddenly threw his arms around his mother and his daughter. 

She was already barely keeping it together just by arriving alone. 

And now this too? How was she honestly supposed to keep it all together without breaking down?

She trembled slightly in his embrace. His actions mirrored hers. 

I'm sorry. She said hoarsely. 

'I missed you' Was his only response.
