Chapter 2

The small girl who had launched herself at Will was now hugging her and telling her coat how scared she was.

"Emm, guys a little help here! " Will gently pushed the girl off her and set her on the ground and backed away slowly keeping her eyes on this weird little girl. "I don't think you have the right person little girl. I'm not your mommy." The girl pouted and started to cry "But, but you are my mommy you are." At that point the little girl really started to cry and Taranee bent down and tried to calm her down.

Then the girl wrapped her little arms around Taranee's neck and asked her, "Why doesn't mommy remember me, auntie Taranee?" Everyone was shocked by this piece of info how did she know her name, so they asked out right. "How did you know her name?" Hay Lin asked the child, she sniffed the answered. "Because she's my auntie and so are you. Why are you asking me this you know me." The girl looked up at them and let go of Taranee backing away slightly.

Upon looking at the girl closely she did have the same hair as Will but it fell a little past her shoulders pulled back by a clip, she had a slight tan with light freckles across her nose. Her eyes were a mixture of brown and green they almost look like swirls in her large eyes, she had very long eyelashes but a slightly pointed chin. "You know she does look like you Will."

"Thanks Cornelia." But all this girl was wearing was a pale blue summer dress that reached her knees and white sandals. And she was shivering very badly. "Oh my gosh, your freezing here you must wear these." All the girls gave her something to wear, Irma gave her dark blue hat; Taranee gave the thick scarf that was round her neck. Hay Lin put her pink gloves on her small almost blue hands and Cornelia wrapped her olive green coat round her. It was a funny site to see four girls and guy with, what looked like a moving bundle of cloths. "I think we should take her to grandma."

"Good idea Mrs. Lin will know what to do." Taranee went to hold the girls hand but she wouldn't take it. She looked at Will ad held out her hand for her but she didn't take it instead she picked her up and started to carry her to the silver dragon. "She only has sandals on, her feet will get cold." This was true there was about a 3 inches of snow on the ground. People were looking at them carrying what appeared to be a bundle of cloths and were frowning at them because they weren't wearing proper winter cloths and one was carrying what they really should be wearing.

About half way there Will was straggling to hold her up; she looked down at the small child in her arms and saw she was asleep. Will smiled down at her thinking if this was her daughter she would be very lucky but she couldn't be it wasn't possible but it felt right. Caleb saw how Will was having trouble with carrying the child. "Here let me take her." And Will passed her over careful not to wake her, all Caleb could do was stare at her. She so small and looks at peace but who is she? Cornelia noticed how careful he was with her, Caleb is going to make a great dad some day. She smiled to herself thinking of the future with Caleb maybe even having children with him.

By the time they got to the Lin's restaurant the girls were all shivering from being in the cold especially Cornelia without her coat. The snow was falling faster now it was almost like a blizzard. Yan Lin came out of a side door to enter the main seating area of the restaurant as the girls and Caleb came in side with the bundle. "Girls what have you got there?" After one look at what Caleb was holding she told hurried them into one of the back rooms.

They placed the girl onto the seat at the booth and waited for Hay Lin's grandma. They didn't notice that Hay Lin had gone into the kitchen until she came back with 6 cups of hot chocolate, one glass of warm milk and a plat of mint chip cookies." Why is there a glass of milk Hay Lin?"

"I thought the little one might like a glass of something warm." All the girls agreed with her. Just then the little girl was waking up, she looked around her a little scared of where she was but she saw who she was with and relaxed. "Here you go this will warm ya right up!" Irma passed the glass of warm milk. The girl accepted it and after taking off the gloves she was given started to drink. The door that lends to the main restaurant, opened and Lan Lin walked in she smiled at the young child sitting at the table then turned to the others. "What happened? Who is she?"

"Well we were walking home when there was this flash of pink light and then she appeared and ran into Will's arms yelling mommy!" The look on Mrs. Lin's face told the girls she was worried and wasn't sure what was going on. "Hmm I will look into this a pink light I wonder." Mrs. Lin sat next to the girl who now had started on the cookies. "Tell me child what is your name?"

"Iwfs vwervy." Her mouth full with cookies she swallowed and repeated herself. "It's Verity." The old woman raised her eyebrows slightly as did Caleb's. "That's a pretty name now Verity why don't you have a few more cookies. And where is your mommy?" All Verity did was point to Will "She's my mommy." Mrs. Lin frowned slightly and looked at Will almost accusingly at her. "Hey I'm too young and I am not really her mom how can I be!"

"Verity how old are you?"

"I'm going to be six in April."

"See how could I be her mom. I would how to be like 10!"

"What year is it?" Every one looked at Mrs. Lin like she was crazy. Verity replied."2015."

"Just as I had thought it was a time portal." Every one was shocked this girl was from the future? "Is that even possible Grandma?" All she did was nod slowly. She stood up and went towards the door. "I will look for away back for her until that time she must stay safe and hidden. Phobos must not know of her." And on that note she left them on their own.

"So she is like your daughter. What do you know you will have a love life."

"Shut it corny! Will doesn't need that." Irma shot back. The two girls started to bicker between themselves the others turned there attention towards Verity and what to do about where to let her stay.

"Hey, Caleb don't you have your own place now? Why can't she stay with you?" Caleb had finally moved out of the Lin's basement and got his own place. Caleb shook his head, but when he looked up there were 5 faces glaring at him (Irma and Cornelia have stopped fighting). "Why not you are the only one who doesn't live with a family, who by the way, does not know of us being the guardians of the veil!"

"But I don't know what to do. I don't know anything about kids!"

"Don't worry about that big fella we'll help ya!" Irma stated and winked at him. In the end he put his head down and agreed. "But I don't have any thing for her like what is she going to wear!"

"Calm down she can have some of my sister's old cloths. We'll go and pick them up now and get her settled at your place, how does that sound?" Once that was settled they went off down the snow covered street to Cornelia's apartment. Her apartment building was one of the nicest in town with its white paint o the out side with no graffiti you could tell who would live here. They all waited in the lobby because Cornelia needed to wear her coat because of her parents. So they waited until they saw the blond come down the stairs with two bags full of cloths and things. "Do we need all this? And how did you get away with all this?" Caleb exclaimed.

"I told them that it was for charity you know all those kids out on the street." She reached into one of the bags and pulled out a bright red winter coat and some shoes to let her change into. So Verity got changed into them and they did fit her better then what she had on before. Cornelia also had a matching hat and scarf set for her which she put on straight away. Now the small child looked like she could fit in with all the winter wear people were dressed in. The next stop was to the store just at the corner to buy some healthier food like in date milk, fruit, vegetable and meats along with some sweets for Verity. The final stop was Caleb's apartment which was on the 3rd floor. The apartment building was a bit more down market with red bricks and the paint was chipping away slightly. The apartment he actually lived in, in itself was nice enough with its walk into lounge and small kitchen area to the left. There was also a bed room by going into what you could call a small hallway and bathroom as well. Their all walked in and Hay Lin went into the kitchen to put away the food this was most likely the smallest room with a sink counter there was two large cupboards above her and two below her there was enough storage space for one even two people along with the fringe and freezer, thee cooker and finally the microwave. Taranee and Irma went to put the cloths into the bed room and set up a bed. The bed room had a bed right in the middle of the back wall with a built in wardrobe, that's were the cloths went. The make shift bed was by the door and was made by the spare blankets they found. Will started to settle Verity in the lounge, Caleb put her coat into a closet for her and Cornelia sat down in the worn armchair by the heater. In the lounge there was a 3 seated sofa with a miss-matched armchair by the heater. Along with a coffee table in the middle of the room covered in school books.

"I'll sleep in her Verity can have my bed."

"No we are setting a bed up in here!" Yelled Irma from the bed room.

"That sounds about right for her but you don't mind do you?" Will asked him. "No it will be fun right Verity?" Verity looked up at him and replied. "Yes it will be like when mommy goes away to stay with grandma."

"Wait I let you stay with him?" Verity nods "And blunk comes over too He's my bestest friend."

"And how often do I leave you with your uncle Caleb and blunk?"

"He's not my uncle he's my daddy."

"WHAT!" Thud.

Well that's all folks hoped you all liked it I spent longer on it and its my longest chapter yet! So R&R!
