One month later.
~~~
A day before Aurora and Drake left the mansion, they were having an afternoon picnic in the garden, a special family bonding just for the three of them.
Aurora was talking to her daughter in a gentle voice. "Baby, Mother, and Father will leave for a while because we are going to work in a far away place. You have to behave while we are gone, okay?" she said, caressing her daughter's arms, trying to stop the tears from falling on her face.
"Yes, I will behave, Mommy. When are you coming back?" Crystal asked, looking into her eyes.
"Probably in a few months..." Aurora replied, hugging her daughter's small frame lovingly.
"Okay, bring me lots of toys, Mom!" Crystal said.
"What kind of toys?" Aurora asked.
"Teddy bears and dolls!" Crystal exclaimed.
Aurora smiled broadly. "Sure, Daddy and I will bring you lots of teddy bears and dolls, okay?" she said, pinching her nose affectionately.
