The kids are a handful but they kept them grounded. Little Alice is her mother's spitting image but she's got gramps' attitude down pat. She's gonna be trouble. Two years old and already she gives him orders. She also seems to have her mother's penchant for getting into shit so Andros was constantly on his toes. All in all he was happier than he ever thought possible and his life was fuller than any one man could expect.
Right now he stood in the doorway of the conservatory and watched as his wife tried to teach their daughter about butterflies. The ray of sunlight that shone down on them was a little brighter than the day outside, and he said a silent thanks to his sister as he walked into the room to join them.
THE END
