Everyone smiled at her, reassuring her that they were still her friends.

"Hello," Nina said rather uncomfortably. "I would like to introduce you all to someone." They all exchanged nervous glances. What was she talking about? She was still wearing her wedding ring, and she was still in love with Fabian. Nina smiled and took her hand from behind her back, guiding a small child to their attention. "This," she said, "is Sarah Joy Rutter."

Jerome laughed as he walked over to Sarah. She was short and thin, she had her father's eyes and her mother's light hair. She looked to be about four years old. If that was the case then she hadn't known her father at all before he had died.

Jerome knelt down and looked into her eyes: they were so much like Fabian's that he was caught off guard. He cleared his throat and smiled saying, "Hello Sarah, I'm Jerome. It's very nice to meet you." She looked at him questioningly. Although she was only four, she was very perceptive.

"I'm fine thank you." She smiled shyly up at him. He had tears in is eyes and she wasn't sure why but he wouldn't stop looking at her. She decided he needed a hug. She stepped forward with her arms open and hugged him around the neck, almost knocking him over. "It's okay," she whispered in his ear, "Mommy told me that everyone would be sad and miss Daddy. But it's okay, because Daddy came to see me after I was born and he held me and told me that he loved me and that everything was going to be alright and that he was happy and looking over us all."

Jerome smiled and stood up still holding her. He carried her to the table where Amber and Patricia were sitting and just watching the unfolding scene quietly. Alfie walked over to meet them. He was holding Gina's hand and leading her into the room. He smiled at Sarah, who returned the smile, and patted her on top of her head. "You are so cute," Alfie said. Sarah giggled. He nodded to Jerome who continued walking over to where the women were sitting around the table. Alfie walked over to Nina, still leading Gina by the hand. "Hey Nina, how are you doing?" He asked, giving her a hug.

"I'm doing alright Alfie, thank you for asking."

Alfie smiled warmly at her. "I'm sorry Nina. We all loved him very much. He was very brave," Alfie said kindly. Nina smiled a watery smile and looked up at Gina. "Oh," said Alfie. "I wanted to introduce you to Gina, my fiancée." Nina smiled at her.

"It's very nice to meet you," Nina said, hugging her.

"I've heard so much about you and your husband. I am sorry for your loss."

"Thank you," Nina said. Her attention was drawn back to Sarah as she thought of Fabian. Her daughter was still in Jerome's arms and was looking down at Amber.

"Hey, beautiful," Amber said, smiling up at her and lifting her out of Jerome's arms. "You are so big." Sarah smiled and hugged Amber around the neck. "My name is Amber and this," she turned to her left where her husband sat. "This is my husband Michael." Sarah looked at him quietly and smiled. "Hello, Sarah, it is very nice to meet you," Michael said, brushing a loose hair behind her ear and smiling.

Patricia stood up from her seat and looked at Nina, nodding a quick hello. She bent down and looked into Sarah's eyes. "Hi Sarah, I'm Patricia." Sarah held out her arms as though to say "Take me!" Patricia lifted her off of Amber's lap and smiled. "Do you know how much you look like your Daddy? It's amazing. I miss him very much." Sarah smiled softly and hugged Patricia.

Mick stood up and walked over to Nina. He bent down and hugged her tightly. Mara came up behind him, waiting for her turn. "She is beautiful," Mara managed to get out before she burst into tears.

"Thank you." Nina smiled. Mick hugged her one last time and walked over to Patricia to meet Sarah.

"Hi Sarah, I'm Mick and this is Mara," he says smiling as his wife came up next to him. Sarah looked into Mick's eyes, and realized how deeply he cared about everyone in this room, including her. He had just met her and yet, he still cared about her. She opened her arms to him and he picked her up. Mara smiled; it didn't matter whether she was watching him interact with their kids or someone else's kids, but she loved doing it. She loved him and he was so full of love for everyone that it still took her by surprise sometimes. She leaned in and kissed her husband, putting one hand on the small of his back and the other on Sarah's back. This was home, she thought. Anubis House is our home and this is our family. She smiled as another tear slid quietly down her cheek.

Jerome looked up at Nina from across the room and smiled. She had done it, she had raised this special child to see through people's masks the way Nina never could but Fabian always had a talent for. She was young now but she would grow up and make sure Fabian had not died in vain. She was going to finish the quest from Anubis House. She was going to fight till the end. Sarah Joy Rutter was the chosen one and she didn't even know it yet.
