The small beach house was a hive of activity for the first few hours before Calyssa first breaths of life. Gilda was nae sure that neither Nessa or the wee babe would survive. Aldrea had found a well of strength she hadn't even realized she had in those few hectic hours. Perhaps even a slight bond between her and the flame haired cook had sprung to life. Now the small house, that stood close to the sandy beaches of the western sea, lay quiet, except for Gilda, all sleeping. The flamed haired woman whose beauty belied her age of seventy years, had pulled a rocking chair close to the door where Nessa lay in a deep sleep, the wee babe crooked in her arm as she rocked and sipped a warm brandy. Perhaps for the hundreth time she thanked the gods that Master Burgoo had had the foresight to bless her with the geen milk. She was sure that is what had finally saved the wee one and Nessa.
Emerald hues lovingly caressed the sweet face of Calyssa as the rocker continued its gentle motion.
" I knew yer mother lassie when she be nae more than yer age, and now thanks to yer father, the master himself I be knowing you little one...Thanks to yer mother's strong hand and the love of ye father, ye little lass will nev'r know the horrors of the Du'Monts. They be a curse'd lot. But ye little one will change all that...aye?"
Gilda crooned and rocked the sleeping infant, till she herself dosed, happy that she had not let her beloved master down. That both his girls were safe and alive.
