Queen Dora's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the children.
"Long time no see, little Mana, little Jules," she whispered, and hugged both of them.
Mana bit her lip nervously. "Are you – are you really Mommy Dee?" she asked in very quiet voice, so only Queen Dora and Jules were able to hear her.
Jules was startled and stared at Mana with wide eyes. Mana also knew Mommy Dee? How was that possible…?
Jules stared at the mother he never knew he had, and found that everything about her was identical to Mommy Dee, indeed.
"Is that true?" he asked in a low voice. "Are you really Mommy Dee?"
It was Mana's turn to be startled. "I am," she said. "It's a long story, my dear children. But now that your old Ma is back – won't you call me Ma?" she asked softly.
