A few days later...
Today is weekend, Laura and Austin have breakfast together. As usual Laura took her husband and Qiana's favorite food. They enjoy the morning atmosphere in a warm state.
"Qiana dear, after breakfast come mom yes. Someone wants mommy to show Qia" said Laura softly as usual.
Qiana nodded her head. "Yes mommy".
Austin smiled looking at Qiana so obediently to Laura. "Hm...Does Qiana love Harry and Ed?".
Qiana nodded her head. "Yes dad. Harry and Ed are so funny, Qia wants a little brother like Harry and Ed" he replied innocently.
Laura and Austin smiled at Qiana's reply.
Sometime after breakfast, Laura had the nanny of Qiana do another task while Qiana was with her and her husband.
Laura clasped tightly onto Qiana's handcuffs towards her room. During the time Laura and Austin were married, this weekend was usually Qiana with Kimberly and Noah. But this time Laura deliberately does not allow Qiana a weekend anywhere, because she will tell Connors about her beloved little girl.
Austin sat Qiana's body on the edge of the bed with him. Laura took the box in the closet.
Laura sat on Qiana's right side. Laura slowly opened the box that had always been hidden tightly from Qiana until now.
Laura had indeed intended to tell Qiana who she really was someday, but waited for the age of the little girl to grow up. But who would have thought everything changed when Connors asked permission on him a few days ago with good and sincere intentions. Of course for the sake of Qiana's happiness, Laura couldn't resist.
Laura opened the city of dark brown carved wood that was on her lap. And took some photos in it.
Laura rubbed the photo, then gave it to Qiana. "Look at this photo baby" Laura said slowly. The photo of Brenda just giving birth and a few minutes she breathed. In her weakened state over the bed, Brenda still had time to see her daughter, kiss and hug her for a moment.
Qiana complied with Laura's request to see the photo. "Who is this mommy? Is this a photo of mommy giving birth to Qia?
Laura exhaled while hugging the little girl. "Yes that's your picture at birth, son. That woman actually gave birth to Qia. Who fought for you to be present in this world" said Laura rubbing gently the beautiful face of Qiana. "Name Brenda".
Qiana looked at Laura with her innocent gaze. "Is mommy Laura not my birth mother? Where's mommy Brenda now?".
A moment of warm liquid sprinkled on Laura's eye patch. Laura shook her head. "Mommy Laura is actually Qiana's aunt. Mom Brenda is my sister" Laura explained.
"Mommy Brenda is now calm in heaven. The photo was Qia's first and last photo with her" Laura said.
"I'm sorry mommy baby. Mommy lied to you all this time" said Laura sobbing in Qiana's arms.
A moment later Laura looked at Qiana. "Did Qia hate mommy?"
Quickly Qiana shook her head. "I love mommy Laura and daddy Austin forever. Because mommy Brenda and daddy are both already in heaven right now" plain Qiana said as she hugged Austin and Laura's arms together.
Laura looked at Austin. Both of them peeked at Qiana's face, Austin nodded his head slowly gesturing his wife to tell him everything.
"Darling... Qiana did not need to be sad, because daddy Qia was actually still in this world. And he loved Qiana very much..."
"Is mom really..?"

Ting..
Vat..
"Darling..are you waiting for someone?", Connors asked Stephanie. She and her two children are enjoying lunch together in the apartment.
"No".
Stephanie moved from her seat. "Let me open it" Stephanie told the waiter, who opened the door.
Stephanie smiled as she looked out of the hole, who was in front of the door.
Chequek...
"Hello aunt Stephanie", greet Qiana cheerfully as always.
"Hello darling", Stephanie hugged him back. Stephanie smiled at Laura and Austin. Saying "Thank you to both".
Stephanie invited her guests in. While his hand was clasping tightly onto Qiana's tiny fingers. Stephanie wanted to surprise Connors but Connors was standing behind them.
Connors's face looks very happy when he sees who's coming to his apartment.
Qiana smashed into the man's embrace. "Daddy...Did daddy come back from heaven?"
The suddenness of Qiana's question made everyone stare at the adorable little girl with a smile. Connors can't even speak anymore. He tried to align his body to Qiana while enduring the pain in her abdomen.
"Would you like to repeat calling me, daddy?"
Qiana nodded her head..."Daddy", said.
"Ah darling".
Connors hugged his daughter's tiny body tightly. The man couldn't cover his scent, he cried, he shed his tears. "I'm sorry daddy just got back from heaven, baby. I'm sorry daddy just met you Qiana.."
