Merel grinned at the expressions Darian made at Aliza's teasing, which helped relieve her own nervousness at least. She could see all of them were on edge waiting for the results, Darian seemed most affected by it, or at least he was the easiest to read. When doctor Valentine finally confirmed Merel's suspicion she could feel a weight lift from her she had not noticed was there. It took a moment for the news to really settle in it seemed, for a moment they all just sat there, as if nobody really knew what to do next...

Helena vaguely noticed how quiet everyone was, perhaps they also had to get used to the idea. For so long had Helena kept that life locked away, refusing to think of a happier time and eventually just hoping to forget altogether what it was like to have a family. She had lost everything and moved on, or at least that was what she had told herself. Now though had to face it, there sat her daughter and Helena was at war within herse;f again between the part of her that desperately wanted it to be true, and the part of her that remembered the dreams that had hurt her so many times before. What if she would wake up in her ship and again be left with nothing except the pain again?

"Damnit what does it matter if this is a dream? Would i forgive myself if i rejected this even if I woke up?"

The thought steeled something in her, and spurred her to rise from the chair. She slowly walked over to her daughter, her face set with a grim look of determination and uncertainty, the doubt had not passed. Ellen, or Alice also rose, facing her with an expression that didn't register with Helena still so wrapped up in her own turmoil. But she could see her face, so very much like the one she see in pictures, of a different woman at the start of her adult life. Helena stopped caring about the storm fo thoughts in her head and was just focussed on the girl in front of her and reached out hesitantly to touch her face. And the moment her fingers brushed the young woman's cheek as nothing ever had felt as real as that to the Huntress, she couldn't help but smile. She saw her daughter return the same smile and before she knew it Helena held Alice in an embrace and she held on tightly to her daughter. She wanted to tell her so much, but all she kept saying was "You found me. You came back and you found me"
