About two days after hitting his head, Tommy came down to the kitchen. He was still shaky on his feet and his head hurt badly but he was now mobile. He saw the girls sitting in their highchairs eating cheerios as he sat down. "Paul, is the coffee ready?"
Paul placed a cup to his lips and held it while he sipped. Gently stroking Tommy's hand, he told him that he had a surprise for him. "Hannah and Taylor are now crawling and Taylor can toddle a bit. " Tommy started crying from happiness. "Really?"
Tommy suddenly winced as a sharp pain rolled through his head. He clutched his temples and screwed his eyes shut. It soon passed. When he opened his eyes, Paul was staring at him. "Ow! That hurt!" he whispered.
Paul made sure Tommy could hold the mug before letting go of it. He let the girls out. Holding Aurora, he handed her to Tommy. Taylor took a few wobbly steps and sat down. Hannah crawled over to Tommy and looked up at him, her dark hazel eyes big. "DA!"
Taylor's black curls were half contained with a red bow but she pulled it out as she sat at Tommy's feet. He managed to set Aurora down, smoothing her pink bow over her blond curls. Hannah had a perfectly tied green bow in her hair.
Tommy felt Paul behind him, rubbing his shoulders as he sipped his coffee. He ran his fingers through Tommy's mane and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
