Her eyes fill with tears when she sees the blue eyes of her daughter staring back at her. Valerie had awoken from her short nap in James' arm at all the moving and the presence of a new person. She stares at Sarah with the same curiosity she had earlier regarded James with. It causes her to giggle and then wince at the dull pain in her stomach.
"She is," Sarah whispers, reaching out a hand to stroke Valerie's head. She likes this. She likes seeing her daughter in James' arms and the smile on his own face. It's her family. She has her family. "She's ours."
