"honey, it's time to return" edna was waiting for him at the small door of the trailer

"coooming!" a little voice said, as he took his model of a blue airplane and his favorite plush from the sand, and then ran to his mother

when he arrive in the small house, edna took him in her arms, making him drop the toys on the ground

"oh look, you're all dirty!" edna approached her nose in his little body suspended in the air, and then smelled him pretending that he smelled bad, making him giggle at her reaction

"how about a nice bath?" she asked him, as she brought him closer to her body

"bath!" he repeated excitedly, lifting his arms into the air

"yeah, bath!" she repeated, imitating the excitement of her baby, and then walked to the bathroom

"c-can we also bring Mr. cuddlewoomp?"

"he doesn't need a bath, Jay"

"but he's alone!"

"when you finish the bath you'll come back to him, okay?" she looked at his big blue eyes

"okay mama" the three-year-old boy accepted

"edna" lifted her face from below, feeling called she looked for the source of the voice, recognizing it was her husband

"Honey, are you okay?" he took her hands, inevitably looking at her with concern

"yes dear, I was just remembering"

"would you like to tell me?" Ed asked her kindly, trying to distract her from the current situation

the elderly couple went to sit a little away from the group

"I see you distracted, is it for Jay? don't worry, we will bring our son back here, with us"

"our" edna whispered under her breath

"what?"

"it hurts, but he is not our son"

"Edna-"

"His parents are here.. His real parents"

"honey, you are right, but he will forever be our son too. and I'm sure it's mutual" he said, referring to Jay

"I know, but.."

"no but Edna, it's time to be that strong woman I married and love so much. we've always been here for Jay, and we'll keep doing it" he then gave her a small, short kiss, leaving a spontaneous smile on her face

"let's go" he then took again her hand, returning from the group

"are you okay Edna? I saw you move away" Nya rushed on his boyfriend's parents

"don't worry dear, it's all right" her face has slightly turned off at the memory

"alright, for anything not to hesitate" she gave her a sweet smile, inevitably reciprocally

"thank you" Edna thanked, but her concern came back "so? what happened?" referring to Libber, who was beside her

Edna analyzed her for a few seconds, she looked like her Jay. her eyes deeply blue, the rebellious hair, and somehow the same shine that he could transmit. and she also noticed how tall she was, Jay probably took from her height too, she thought

"I noticed, since before Jay disappeared, that Libber and he were bound somehow" Zane began to explain

"bound in what way?" Libber asked
