Bridget was a kind woman, a hard worker with a heart of gold. Over the years, she had been caring for Hertha and the twins wholeheartedly.
"Don't say such things," she chuckled, "you pay me a fair wage, and looking after you is part of my duty. Ms. Kensington, Ms. Everhart, I bet you haven't eaten yet. I've got one more dish to whip up, and then dinner is served." With that, Bridget bustled back into the kitchen.
Hertha and Thalassa each cradling a child, settled onto the couch.
Little Helena wiggled out of Thalassa's arms, and though Thalassa thought she was off to play, the toddler fished out a pack of cookies from between the couch cushions instead.
Clutching a chocolate chip cookie, she held it up to Thalassa, "Auntie Thalassa, have a cookie."
"Mama wants one too." Julian wriggled out from Hertha's holding, grabbed a cookie, and offered it to Hertha with all the seriousness of a grown-up. "Mommy, open your mouth."
He himself opened his mouth wide, mimicking the action he wanted Hertha to take. His innocent eyes were filled with tender love.
It was a heartwarming sight for Hertha.
Surrounded by such pure love, she obliged with an "Ahh".
Julian promptly placed the cookie in her mouth.
Helena followed suit, coaxing Thalassa to open up. As Thalassa ate the cookie, she smiled and tousled Helena's soft hair. "Thanks, Helena. Did you hear Bridget say we hadn't eaten, so you brought us the cookies?"
