Everyone, apart from Luna and Joshua, was shocked to see Nellie.
Theo had no idea Nellie was in Merchant City, whereas Caleb and Rachel had never seen Luna and Joshua's daughter before.
Rachel gazed as the small girl bearing a face similar to Joshua ran down the stairs." Luna, this is..."
Luna smiled and walked over to lift Nellie into her arms. "This is my eldest daughter, Nellie. Joshua and I had a conflict, and we both felt it was unsafe in Merchant City. She and my second son, Neil, had been staying in Banyan City ever since.
"Since we've mended our relationship and my parents had recovered and waited to see them, we had our friends at Banyan
City send them here."
She then pointed at Rachel and Caleb." Nellie, this is Aunt Rachel and Uncle Caleb."
Nellie looked at them, her gaze shifting back and forth, before smiling at them. Then, she smiled at them. "Aunt Rachel, Uncle Caleb. I saw both of you on the news!"
Rachel was amused by how adorable Nellie was. "You saw us on the news?"
"Yes." Nellie nodded quickly. “Early this morning when Neil and I just got here, we saw Uncle Theo sitting on the couch watching the news, zoning out. The news was reporting about your upcoming wedding with Uncle Caleb!"
She smiled cheekily at Rachel and Caleb as she asked, "Are both of you getting married for real?"
