Shortly after the court hearing, Sylvia is on the porch when she spots Sadie running to the barn with Paul going after his wife. Sylvia sighs sadly before putting her knitting down and going to the barn to help her friends that is if they will let her. The scene in the barn breaks her heart as Sadie, who never lets her guard down unless with Paul is openly sobbing and clinging to her husband’s chest. Paul tries so hard to be strong and keep it together for Sadie, but Sylvia can see the unshed tears in the young man’s light blue eyes. Lucy puts her head on her master’s lap and whimpers while Sylvia debates on whether to stay or leave in order to give the couple some privacy. The young woman turns to leave a moment later, but instead of leaving she goes over to Sadie enveloping her into a hug whilst silently wishing that she can take her best friend's pain away somehow. Sadie’s cries slowly cease before she looks at Sylvia and Paul as she says “ This is cruel, we had Julian fo

A month had passed since Julian had left with his birth mother to England and Sylvia’s due date was fast approaching, with only three weeks to go until the baby was here. It was now 2pm and the October heat was starting to cool down and the weather was now bearable as Sylvia walked up the hill by the homestead where Sadie and Paul were sitting on the lush grass. Sadie smiled as Paul helped her friend to a nearby log to rest before Sylvia said “ you both have been wonderful since I arrived here including helping with building my house right next to yours amongst other things. I have known you both for over twenty years and I have watched you two go through things that no couple should ever have to go through. Sadie, I know how much you want to raise a child and I have something that I wanted to ask you both. I’ve made up my mind a while ago after giving this a lot of thought and all I need now is an answer. “ Paul grasps his wife’s hand as he motions for Sadie to go on. Sylvi

As soon as everything was cleaned up and both mother and baby were warm as well as dressed, Sylvia sat down in the rocking chair once more. The baby was soon brought to its mother’s breast as she took in every single detail of her newborn daughter: her little nose was the spitting image of Phillip’s along with her blue eyes, but her lips as well as her curly red hair was all from her mother. Sylvia watched as her daughter who she named Elizabeth Louisa latched onto her mother’s breast for her first meal. The only sounds that could be heard in the home where that of Elizabeth eating and Sylvia humming a lullaby that her mother, Penelope used to sing to her when she was little. Oh, how she missed her mother.

A month had passed since Elizabeth was born and Sylvia was dancing around the kitchen with her daughter after the morning feeding as Lucy lay in the parlor. Her eyes had changed to blue-grey like her mother’s and her red hair has hints of brown from her father. Soon, Lucy barks as a wagon pulls up next door as Sadie and Paul get out before unloading the abundance of supplies. Sylvia smiles as opens the door and goes outside with her daughter for the first time as Lucy follows closely behind. A few minutes later the couple come out of the barn as Sylvia walks over to them. Paul grasps his wife’s arm to get her attention whilst Elizabeth yawns as Sylvia uses her free hand to wipe the tears that are starting to fall. Sadie’s hands fly to her chest before her best friend places her little girl in her arms as Sylvia says “ this is Elizabeth Louisa, she was born the night after you two left on your trip. Her name can be changed if either of you think that it doesn’t fit. I wasn’t

Elizabeth starts to pace when she notices that the sea of loved ones begin to clear from the station as she wonders to herself quietly where could they be? Why aren’t they here? Did they miss the train? Nathan gently squeezes his wife’s hand with his free hand when he starts to sense that his love is beginning to get nervous. Soon, the young woman stops her pacing and looks at the few people still getting off the train before her face lights up as she says “mama, papa! You're finally here! We have so much to show and tell you.” Sadie runs to her now grown daughter as soon as she’s safely on the ground and hugs her before saying “ oh, my dear Lizzie. It has been far too long.” Norah Rose lets out a high pitched squeal as her grandfather, Paul picks her up after hugging Elizabeth and swings the little girl high above his head as her father puts the luggage in the truck.
