Fate: your own story ( winx)

Farah pulled her daughter into a hug and kissed her forehead. "You'll do wonderfully," she promised.

Eve smiled. "Thank you," she whispered. She retracted herself from the embrace and headed over to Anya. "Yes, my darling?" she asked sweetly.

Eve's eyes widened. "Oh, darling," she gasped, taking the pendent in her fingers to admire it. "It's beautiful."

Eve smiled into the kiss, but she broke it off quicker than she normally would as she heard Farah rise to her feet. Eve turned and hurried to help steady her mother.

"I'm fine…" Farah hissed through her teeth.

Farah sighed at the slight relief, but the pain was still throbbing. "Thank you," she whispered to Anya.

Farah made her way back to her office. When Eve realized that's where her mother was headed, she stepped in front of her. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked pointedly.

"My office," Farah replied shortly.

"You need to rest," Eve countered. "You need to be in your room."

Farah sighed. "Two against one. I suppose I'm outnumbered."

Eve grinned and kissed Farah's cheek. "When was the last time you were in your room?"

"Ha, ha." Farah rolled her eyes.

"You take that back!"

Eve laughed at her mother. "I think she's right."

Farah shook her head. "It's not my fault that my job is more demanding than his!"

“My love affairs aren’t a concern for either of you,” Farah remarked pointedly.

Eve stifled a laugh. “That means he does.”

Farah’s eyes widened. “Eve!”

"No!" Farah stated firmly. "Don't you dare! I forbid you to–"

"Farah, there you are." Saul headed towards them.

"Dad!" Eve chirped. "We have a question for you!"

Saul looked confused at the sudden question. He looked from Eve's face with her hand cupped over her mouth to Anya's with an eager expression to Farah's with her eyes warning him.

"Uhh… yes?"

"Saul!" Farah cried at the same time Eve laughed triumphantly.

"What?!" Saul asked incredulously. "We're married, Farah, it's not a sin!"

Farah shook her head and continued walking toward the door. She stumbled on her steps, and Saul caught her in his arms.

Farah held in a groan of pain, but Saul moved swiftly to support her. "You two can head back," he said. "I've got her."

Saul nodded. Eve leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to Farah's forehead and Saul's cheek. "Bye," she murmured and looped her arm through Anya's to walk with her.

When they were gone, Saul looked at Farah, who arched her eyebrows. "What?" she asked.

"Stop putting up your façade. You can show pain around me, Farah."

As soon as he said it, she leaned on him heavily. "It hurts, Saul," she whispered. "So badly."

"Alright, let's get you inside," Saul murmured, leading her into her room. After they both got ready for bed, the two of them slipped under Farah's sheets and held each other close.

"The necklace is beautiful, love," Eve murmured as she felt its cool weight around her neck.
