SEQUEL TIME :D A continuation of SHADOW OF A DOUBT.

As they are moving on, leaving shadows of doubts that once were behind them, will their newfound peace be, or is it just the calm before the storm?

Alice

"Make a wish, baby." Mama say and kiss my head.

I close my eyes and blow out the candles.

I turn four years old today. I have my friends here, and Michael, my brother. He is one and a half years old, and he can say my name. I have a new little sister too. Her name is Lea. I helped give her a name. My favorite doll is named Lea and Daddy got it for me when I turned three, and I love my doll very much.

"I think Lea is a good name," Daddy say and look at Mama.

"But we can't name our daughter after our other daughter's toy." Mama say.

"Listen, I don't think Alice has ever liked anything as much as she likes that doll, and I believe that it's a sign of love that she wants to give her baby sister the same name as the doll she loves so much. Remember that we were going to name Alice, Lea?"

"You were?" I ask.

"Yeah, but then we thought Alice was better." Mama say and Daddy roll his eyes.

"Then she has to be called Lea!" I say.

"Why?"

"Because she is a baby, and I was a baby and you didn't give me that name and now I want her to have that name because I didn't have it and I think it is pretty" my hair falls in my eyes.

Mama starts to giggle.

"Come here," She say and I go to her. She kiss my temple "I love you so much Alice. Of course we can name her Lea, if it's that important to you."

I nod.

"Thank you Mama."

"So what about her middle name?" Daddy ask "I don't think we should name her Victoria…"

"Don't you have any Swedish names in store?" Mama ask me and I giggle.

I think hard, but I not know any names. I shake my head.

"I think we should call her Lea Eden" Mama say.

Daddy look shocked.

"Why?"

"You believe in the bible don't you?" She asks Daddy "why wouldn't you want to name your child after the most perfect paradise ever created?"

"Yes, but I would have thought you wouldn't agree to that"

"Well, I think the name is pretty."

Daddy kiss Mama and I look away.

She got mama's last name too. Same as me.

There is another girl here. I don't know her. Mama and Daddy came with her, because they said she was part of an investigation. I am not sure what that is, but I think it is what Mama and Daddy do.

Her name is Kimi. She is four and a half and she is really pretty. She looks different from me and she looks really scared.
