"Adam!" Pidge called out with a blinding smile as she spotted their old friend, waving towards as she stood with Shiro further down the road to where the chosen men sat. 

"There's my favourite chosen one" Adam called back happily, his smile growing once he spotted the feisty lady.

"Rude" Lance scoffed back as he was walking past, all knowing Adam had half adopted all of the chosen men as his own children but tended to be more protective over Pidge. 

The rest of the chosen men chuckled and just accepted being second best. Knowing Adam had grown to be a close cousin to Pidge over the past few years and adored her as if they truly did share blood. 

Adam was soon scooping the lady up into a tight but brotherly hug. Lifting her off the ground as he leaned backwards and grinning more than ever at being able to find her alive and well again. He had grown worried for her, knowing war wasn't kind to all and feared her secret would be exposed by growing wounded in battle. He's learnt over Keith knowing, knew how he had grown to know and feared it may happen again without a friend being able to protect her. 

He's always kept an ear out for all the chosen men but he had always feared to hear news of her being hanged one day. 

"Should I give you two some space to catch up?" Shiro asked, not wanting to be forced to act as a third wheel by them both yet again. 

"Stay. I have news to share. For all ears to hear. But I have decided to share it with you both first" Adam smiled, nodding for them to follow him to the closest barn to them all. 

Shiro and Pidge shared a look before following after the Spanish man and wondering over what good news he needed to share. Both already worked out it was private but good news. Knowing if it was bad news or a warning than he'd have appeared out of nowhere when they're alone and passed such news on. 

Once inside the barn, Adam smiled at them both once more before pulling out a small portrait kept in his jackets inside pocket. Passing it over with pure happiness pouring from him. 

Shiro accepts the small portrait meant to be sat in a frame on someone's desk. Not kept in a pocket without much protection. Holding the small portrait down so Pidge could see as she leans into his side, peeking at the portrait and curious over what it may show. 

"I'm an uncle. My sister has given birth to my nephew, Richard" Adam announced with a sweet smile, his eyes warm as he glances down to the portrait of his nephew in their hands. 

"How is your sister?" Pidge asked with concern, remembering what Shiro had told over Adam's fate by the French. Praying that this baby had came from a consensual experience. 

"Not my little sister. My older sister. My little sister is still.. recovering from what the French have done to her. But my older sister was sent to live with our uncle due to have been a sickly child and my uncle had promised better doctors where he lived" Adam explained with a sadden frown, his eyes understanding over the mix up as he's rarely spoken over his older sister. He's grown up by knowing her by letter alone for the most part until he was old enough to travel during holidays and pay her a visit in person.
