Chapter 37
"Revelations"
The weeks come and go. Deanna stayed at the castle and got to know the children better she kept Aurora's secret and Aurora kept hers.
"How are you feeling today Deanna?"
"I'm okay a little tired. I miss my family too. I just want to go home."
"Deanna you have been so kind to me. I went and searched the grounds I know where they are keeping your husband."
"You know where Wil is?"
"Yes but you have to stay quiet. I spoke to my father and told him how you missed your own family. He said that he understood that and he didn't want to marry you because he didn't love you."
"Your father said that?"
"Yes, there is a secret passage here in your room. See that drape over there if you lift it up it will bring you to a staircase. Follow that down and it will take you to your husband. He will be waiting for you."
"Aurora are you sure you won't get into trouble?"
"No, I spoke to father about your feelings toward him and as much as you liked us you had to go home to your daughter."
"Oh Thank you Aurora."
"Now go before Logan gets back."
Deanna nods and hugs Aurora and heads down the stairs. Turning back just once she reaches for something from her pocket.
"Will I ever see you again Deanna?"
"I don't think so but look..."
She hands a item to Aurora it was a picture or her, Wil and Lily.
"When you miss me look at my picture. I will be there for you."
"Thank you Deanna. I hope you make it home safely."
"You would have made a wonderful Queen. Wait I have something for you. Here is a picture of me and my sisters. There is also a letter for you to open when you get home. I will miss you Deanna Troi."
"And I will miss all of you too."
Deanna smiles one last time and heads to the stairs closing the door behind her.
"She'll be alright, I know she will, after all she is going to be a mother soon."
