Indigo Incite (The Indigo Trilogy) (31 page)

“Ian and
I will help take care of them,” her aunt said. She walked to the side of the
hospital bed to admire the baby. “He’s beautiful, Sarah.”

“Thank
you.” Sarah kissed the top of his head again, and he opened his eyes.

“What’s
his name?” the nurse asked.

“Tristan,”
Sarah replied. “Tristan Daniel. Daniel is my husband’s first name.”

Aunt Mae
smiled. “It’s a good name. I’m sure his daddy is very proud. Have you talked to
him?”

“Yeah I
was able to get ahold of him last night. He is very happy. He’s excited to come
home.”

“When
does he get to come home?” the nurse asked.

“If all
goes as planned, it should be in two months. Ian has offered Daniel a job with
his business once he gets out of the military, so we plan to move with him."

She
looked into Tristan’s eyes and he looked into hers. He was only a day old, and
he already looked wise.

Daddy
won’t be home in two months.
The voice in her head was unexpected, and she wondered for a
moment if she had heard correctly. She looked up and met Ian’s gaze. Her voice
faltered when she asked, “Did you hear that?”

His
silent nod was answer enough. Tristan had communicated with her. It had begun.
Daddy
won’t be home in two months
, he had thought. She didn’t want to know what
that meant
.
