~DAHLIAAva and Axel ran out immediately when they heard the rumble of our car. Axel ran straight to me, but his sister decided to barrel straight into Zayden instead. And like we always did, Zayden and I caught them, lifted them up, and kissed them on the forehead at the same time. It was almost as though we planned the entire thing, but it came to us so naturally that it was obvious we have done that a lot of time. Axel was about to start telling me about what Ava did to him when my daughter interrupted him by asking a question. "Who are these people, daddy?" My heart thundered in my chest. For a moment there, I had forgotten that we weren't alone, and as we turned to face Nyssa, Ivy, Eric and Kyle, I felt a little bit nervous. There was varying degrees of surprise and shock on their faces, and my heart thumped so loudly against my chest as I waited for them, for anyone, to break the silence.
