Chapter 220

Stella watched her mother as she wiped a child's face off . The child smiled and laughed at something her mother said, before skipping off to play . Her mother then turned to clear the table where a group of children had just been sitting a few minutes before, finis.h.i.+ng their lunch .

Anger at the injustice of her past welled up inside of her, and she fought to keep the emotions from Joseph . This was something she had to deal with, nothing for Joseph to be bothered with . He had enough on his plate, informing his parents of the coming wedding . That thought brought b.u.t.terflies to her stomach, and she placed a hand on it, suddenly thinking about the child that might grow there some day .

With a shake of her head, she turned back to the problem she was facing at the moment . This woman who was her mother, should be told of the impending wedding, and given an opportunity to be invited, even if she didn't remember who she was, or the horrible life she had provided for Stella so long ago . While she was tempted to just forget the whole mess, she was stuck with a problem . She had told Joseph that she wanted an authentic fey wedding, and that required her mother to help her with her hair . It was custom . But her mother wasn't aware of that custom, or how to help her .

There wasn't anyone still living, as far as she knew, that knew the traditions of her past life, so if she wanted to change something, now was the time .

”Stella?” said her mother in surprise, spotting her in the doorway .

”Good afternoon, mom, how are you doing today?” she asked, stepping into the room . She still wasn't sure about going forward, but she really didn't want to break tradition if she didn't have to . This woman seemed to be so good with children…why couldn't she have had that?

”Oh, my day has been good . Little Timothy sc.r.a.ped his knee while playing hide-and-seek, but other than that, it's been good . ”

Stella's eyes darted over to the children, as if searching for the one with a bandaged knee, but she knew magic would have been used to heal the sc.r.a.pe .

”I came to tell you that I am getting married,” blurted out Stella .

”Oh! Congratulations! To our king, Joseph, right?” she asked, picking up the stack of dishes off the table, and taking them over to the sink .

”Of course,” nodded Stella, wondering how she could ask this person to help her do her hair .

”That's wonderful! I know a lot of people have been wondering when you two would tie the knot . Is it going to be a big affair, or just something small? You know all of us subjects want to celebrate, too!” Her smile and soft laugh caused daggers to jab at Stella's heart, and she smiled in response .

”I don't know what Joseph has planned for the kingdom, but I'm sure he has something . The wedding is going to be small, because I don't think I could handle a large one . ”

”Oh, I imagine you'll look fantastic in your dress! Do I get to come? I know that I wasn't there much,” she said, with a furrow to her brow . ”But all my friends will be so jealous!”
