Brittany's eyes lit up when she saw her son approaching. Releasing Isaac, she hurried over to Daniel's side.
Isaac remained silent, a smirk playing at the edge of his lips.
Daniel, mindful of Brittany's pregnancy, stopped a yard away, extending the bouquet of sunflowers he held: "Mom, flowers for you."
Brittany's heart melted at the gesture, reaching out to pinch her son's cheek gently, "Sweetheart, thank you so much."
Daniel beamed, his eyes sparkling with joy.
Before Brittany could properly admire the flowers, Isaac took them from her hands, "The doc mentioned pregnant women should avoid flowers, allergies and all that jazz."
Brittany just sighed, a bit taken aback by the sudden intervention.
"Dad, mom loves sunflowers the most!" Daniel huffed, accusingly, "You're just jealous!"
Isaac, unfazed and finding amusement in the situation, teased, "Aren't you supposed to be sweet on Abby? How come she didn't get any flowers?"
Daniel pouted, not having a comeback.
Brittany intervened, patting Isaac, "Enough, are you really getting jealous over our son?"
Isaac, ever the cool character, simply called over Yuri, acknowledging him with a nod, "Let's head home."
Daniel had missed Brittany terribly during their time apart.
On their way back to the Salter family estate, Daniel nestled into Brittany's embrace, whispering about recent happenings. Brittany's eyes were filled with nothing but love and joy for her son, a stark contrast to Isaac who sat beside them with the sunflowers, seemingly impatient yet, upon closer inspection, there was a hidden hint of delight in his demeanor.
They arrived at the grand Salter Manor.
As Brittany and Daniel stepped out of the car, they were greeted by Derek Bishop and Kari Malone, who had been eagerly waiting for their return.
"Brittany, welcome back home."
Kari embraced Brittany tightly, "Finally, you're back."
It had been months since Brittany and Kari last met, and the reunion was filled with mixed emotions.
Brittany, trying to hold back her tears, responded, "I'm back."
Hannah Chester was about to hug Brittany but was stopped by Derek, "Be careful, with the baby and all."
