Sealed

Flan thanked Gretchen and Neteru for the help and promised that they could all spend time with Morgan in the days that followed. The blankets were spread over a stone slab with a modern mattress laid upon it. He carried the Quinn and Morgan over to the bed and laid them on the soft mattress. Flan leaned over them and kissed them both. “My family is at last back together. I have waited for this for so long, but it seems like only yesterday. Sleep now, Mo Anam Cara! We will retreat to my castle in the morning for a few days.

Mother and child were soon drifting off to sleep. The sound of the bubbling spring water in the chamber was soothing and relaxing. As Flan joined them in the bed, he thought back to the words Morgan had said to him in his dream earlier today. “My precious, Flan, these waters shall bring you more joy that you have ever know at any time in your lifetime.” These waters had truly brought him peace and happiness for the first time in his life.

Flan called out to Neteru with his mind and thanked her for this reunion. “I love you beyond words, my eternal mother.” Flan snuggled beside the sleeping pair, resting his hand upon the infant’s soft butt; his fingertips caressing Quinn's chest and his knee draped over Quinn’s thigh. He gave himself over to sleep knowing that tomorrow they would all still be together. They would spend as much time as Quinn wanted with her family and then leave on a train for Inverness.
